Episode description

Let’s talk about diabetes.

Unfortunately, diabetes is on the rise, and more and more women are wondering how to properly manage their blood sugar levels. This focus becomes even more important for women over 40. Menopausal hormone shifts can have a dramatic impact on insulin sensitivity.

To help us discover more about this connection between hormones and insulin, is Melissa Slemp. Melissa is a health coach who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 42 years - so she knows more than a thing or two about blood sugars, especially dealing with diabetes while going through perimenopause.

On this episode Melissa shares her personal experience with managing blood sugars and the habit shifts we can focus on to improve our insulin sensitivity and maintain healthy blood sugar levels for many years to come.

Get ready for some practical guidance on how to manage your blood sugar levels, the impact of hormones on insulin sensitivity, and how to begin to both educate yourself and advocate for yourself on your health journey.
