Well this am I had one piece of toast with one Tbsp peanut butter, a strawberry Activia yogurt cup with 1 Tbsp hemp hearts and coffee with cream. But my sensor stopped working. 4 days left. Can I still replace it? I felt a little shaky so suspect my blood sugar rose quite quickly.

The night before last I did not have a low at 3am for the first time. Here’s the weird part: Hubby and I ate a bag of sunchips the night before, so I was expecting a spike and crash…

This morning had a tbsp of olive oil before coffee then normal breakfast of bran flakes, blueberries and hemp seeds. Spike highest yet

Bringing this top of mind for everyone: The experiments this week are: 1. Sweet Swaps 2. Portion Size 3. Fantastic Fats 4. Sleep and Glucose 5. Meal Timing Which experiments are you trying this week? Share your findings :) My birthday cake experiment coming up!

After our conversation on stress + glucose…this is the next powerful layer 👇 Because what you eat doesn’t just affect your glucose—👉 it affects how your body handles stress 1. Stress drains your system When stress hits: - Cortisol ↑ - Adrenaline ↑ Your body is in output mode, and over time, this can: - increase blood sugar swings - break down muscle (to create glucose) - deplete key nutrients needed for resilience 2. Protein = your stability anchor Protein gives your body the raw materials to stay steady under stress It helps: - stabilize blood sugar - reduce big spikes and crashes - keep energy more consistent 👉 So instead of: “stress → glucose spike → crash → cravings” You get: “stress → supported → more stable curve” 3. Amino acids support your nervous system Protein breaks down into amino acids—and these are critical for: - Neurotransmitters (like dopamine + serotonin) - Mood + focus - Stress resilience 👉 Without enough protein, your body has a harder time adapting 4. Protein helps buffer cortisol’s effects When protein is low: - your body may rely more on breaking down muscle - blood sugar becomes more reactive - you feel more “wired and tired” When protein is adequate: ✔️ better blood sugar control ✔️ improved recovery from stress ✔️ more grounded energy 5. What this looks like in real life Instead of:☕ coffee → stress → no food → crash Try:🥚 protein-based breakfast → steadier start Instead of:🍪 carb snack under stress Try:🧀 protein + fat pairing The takeaway msg: 👉 Protein doesn’t eliminate stress…👉 but it changes how your body RESPONDS to it Your experiment 👇 On a higher stress day: - prioritize protein at your first meal - include protein at each meal Then watch:👉 your energy👉 your cravings👉 your glucose curve Share your “before vs after” observations—I’d love to see your data 👀
