Ep. 141 | GLP-1 and Blood Sugar: What Perimenopause Women Need to Know
You're on a GLP-1, eating less, appetite is down — and your blood sugar is still all over the place. The afternoon crashes. The irritability. Waking up at 3am. Plateaus that won't budge.
GLP-1s improve insulin response. But they don't fix the blood sugar instability that perimenopause creates. And most women have no idea those are two different problems happening at the same time.
In this episode I break down exactly what's driving the blood sugar chaos, what the patterns to watch for actually mean, and the specific nutrition approach that stabilizes blood sugar on a GLP-1 in a perimenopausal body.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
What GLP-1s actually do for blood sugar — and what they don't
How estrogen affects insulin sensitivity and why perimenopause changes the rules
The five blood sugar patterns most common in women on GLP-1s in perimenopause
Why the afternoon crash, the 3am wake-up, and the plateau are all connected
What actually stabilizes blood sugar — and why hunger can't be your guide on a GLP-1
