You skipped the bread, said no to pasta, and avoided sugar—so why did your glucose still spike?

In this episode, we unpack the surprising reasons your blood sugar might be rising after meals you thought were blood sugar friendly. If you're feeling confused and frustrated by unexplained spikes, you're not alone—and you're not doing anything “wrong.” But if left unaddressed, those spikes can sabotage weight loss, increase insulin resistance, and keep your body stuck in fat-storage mode.

We’ll walk you through the hidden culprits behind those spikes, why even healthy foods and large portions of protein might be playing a role, and what you can do to bring your blood sugar back into balance—without cutting out more foods.

This episode is packed with simple, actionable tips to help you understand your glucose trends and make smarter choices for your health. Tune in to take the mystery out of your numbers and finally start seeing results.
