091: Balancing your blood sugar and making healthy swaps with Kara Collier

The Fitnessista Podcast: Healthy In Real Life

New podcast up with Kara Collier, chatting about balancing blood sugar and making healthy swaps.

Hi friends! New podcast episode is up on the blog and I’m so excited for this one, because I’m chatting with the co-founder of a company that I love: Nutrisense. I first found out about Nutrisense from my friend Mia, and wanted to try it because I had some borderline high fasting glucose levels last year. She walked me through the whole process of inserting my first CGM, and I was so excited to analyze all of the data I received from Nutrisense. You can check out my full blog post here! You can also use the code GINA50 for $50 off if you want to give it a try! (Not an affiliate link; they asked me if I wanted one, but the discount would be lower for you guys. I wanted to give you the max discount, so I do not make any money from these referrals. Just want to share the love!)

Today, I’m chatting with Kara Collier about:

- Why non-diabetics can benefit from continuous glucose monitoring

- Nutrisense and how it works

- The importance of meal timing

- Easy swaps for more balanced blood sugar

- and so much more
