Is it possible that just a quarter of a teaspoon of extra sugar in your blood is the difference between health and disease?

In this episode, I break down exactly how we gain fat, why our blood sugar matters so much more than we think, and what’s really going on inside our bodies when we eat high-carb meals. I walk you through a simple, science-backed explanation of how insulin works, where our body stores excess sugar (spoiler alert: it’s your fat cells), and how daily habits like movement can either support or sabotage your metabolic health.

Tune in to hear:

• Why “normal” blood sugar is just one teaspoon
• What insulin does when you eat more than your body needs
• How fat storage works in your liver, muscle, and fat tissue
• The worst food combinations for weight gain
• Why walking after meals can make a major difference
• How muscle mass protects you from fat gain
• What triglycerides really are and why they matter
• Why I recommend the Oura Ring and Nutrisense CGM for blood sugar awareness
