Applying a CGM
One of the first things you'll do is apply your CGM. I use a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor, and don't worry, it's way easier than it looks. You can pick one up at any pharmacy (Shoppers, Rexall, Costco, etc.) and have it on in minutes. I made this quick video a couple of weeks ago when I put on my last CGM, so you can see exactly how it's done. Here's a walkthrough so you feel confident before we get started. I'll be putting my next one on Monday April 20th with all of you.😄 How to apply your sensor: 1. Open your package — you'll find two parts: the sensor pack and the applicator. 2. Remove the lid of your sensor pack. Keep this packaging! It has the sensor's serial number. If your sensor ever falls off, malfunctions, or has any issue at any point while you're wearing it, the manufacturer will replace it at no cost — that's been my experience every time. 3. Remove the cap from the sensor applicator (the blue part). 4. Peel off the full label. 5. Line up the two marks on the sensor and applicator so they match up. 6. Prep your skin — use an alcohol swab and give the back of your upper arm a good wipe. Do one more pass to make sure it's clean. 7. Find your spot — where your arm naturally folds over on the back is right where it goes. 8. Press the applicator firmly against your arm. Press and remove. That's it! 9. Open the Freestyle Libre app on your phone and set up your sensor. It takes about an hour to activate, and then you're good to go. We'll also go over this on Monday for anyone who hasn't applied one before or wants a little more guidance. If you have any specific questions, drop them here before Monday so we can make sure we cover everything!

Wrap Up 🔥
Hi Everyone, It was such a pleasure walking you through the power of using a CGM. You just spent the last 2 weeks seeing your body in real time using your Freestyle Libre And that’s something most people never experience. What you’ve likely noticed: → Your glucose doesn’t just respond to food→ It responds to stress, sleep, timing, movement, and even your thoughts → The same meal can give you different results on different days → Small shifts (like walking after a meal or eating protein first) can make a big difference → “Eating less” or skipping meals doesn’t always help… and often backfires! The biggest takeaway from this reset: This isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness, experimentation and personalization Because there is no one “perfect diet”. There is only what works best for your body. What I hope you’re walking away with: ✔ A better understanding of your hunger, energy, and cravings ✔ Awareness of what spikes you (and what doesn’t) ✔ Tools to flatten your curves in real life ✔ Confidence to experiment instead of guess And also this… (the honest part) For many of you, your numbers probably looked “pretty good” overall. But here’s what I want you to know: ... “Good” is not the same as optimal And the real magic is in the subtle patterns: - Slight elevations after meals - Gradual rises through the day - Differences between similar foods - The impact of stress and under-fuelling That’s where we move from tracking to optimizing So what’s next? If you want to take this further, the next step is making this data personal. Because two people can have similar graphs…and need completely different strategies. This is where a 1:1 review comes in We take your data and connect it to: - your meals - your lifestyle - your goals (energy, weight, hormones, performance) And build something that actually fits your life. If you’re ready for that next step, I encourage you to schedule a 30 min glucose review where we can dig even deeper and personalize.
