Excited to be part of the Circle!!

I joined the Clarity Circle because I saw an Instagram video that really resonated with me. My goal is to make some healthy new habits to ensure a healthier future for myself!

When cortisol is chronically elevated, through work pressure, poor sleep, overtraining, or the low-grade stress of running a household and a career, it signals your liver to release glucose. Your body reads high cortisol as emergency fuel demand and insulin rises in response. Over time, repeated insulin spikes train your cells to become less responsive. This is cortisol-driven insulin resistance. It develops in people who never eat sugar excessively and in people who exercise regularly. It develops most reliably in high-achieving women who have been running on adrenaline for a decade. The driver is your nervous system's chronic stress response, not your diet. Save this. This is the explanation most doctors skip.💛

Hi I'm Myrna, and I'm from Central Florida. I am here to learn more about what my lab values really mean and how I can better interact with my physician.😀

Is it weird to have a random day/night where you had a night sleep where you actually fell asleep easily, slept the entire night until your alarm, woke up refreshed, had energy all day, felt almost like your old self? I don't think I did anything different the day before this. It's sad but felt really weird.
