Stress is often considered a mental and emotional burden, but its effects extend far beyond mood and energy levels. One of the most overlooked consequences of chronic stress is its impact on blood sugar regulation. Whether you're managing metabolic health, optimizing athletic performance, or simply trying to improve your energy levels, understanding how stress influences blood glucose is essential.

In the world of health optimization, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are gaining attention as a powerful tool for tracking blood sugar levels in real-time. While traditionally used by individuals with diabetes, CGMs are now being adopted by those looking to optimize metabolic health, improve energy levels, and make informed dietary choices. As part of my commitment to understanding blood sugar regulation and its impact on overall wellness, I’m wearing a CGM for 30 days—and I want to take you along on this data-driven journey.
