Today, I share Part 1 of a two-part series with blood sugar expert Laurie Villarreal.
Today, Laurie talks about glucose optimization for all body systems, including the endocrine, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. She explains how glucose optimization can improve your performance, metabolism, skin, and hair, allowing for longer concentration periods, more energy, improved mood, and better sleep. She explains how stabilizing glucose is a lifelong tool for creating optimal wellness as you age, helping you avoid the declining health so many women experience when going into perimenopause. She also clarifies how to use real-time biofeedback data to understand how your body responds to your nutrition, everyday activities, and lifestyle, highlighting the shifts that will impact your goals and success most.
