#86 How A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Can Help You Improve Your Blood Sugar Levels | Molly Downey from NutriSense

10/5/2021
The NutriSense program, which combines a CGM device, health tracking app and one-to-one support from a registered dietitian, can help you understand your glucose levels and optimize them. In episode 86, I speak with Molly Downey (Nutrition Manager at NutriSense) about blood sugar balance and how a continuous glucose monitor can help you achieve better glucose levels. This was a really interesting episode to record. I really enjoy reviewing new health products, and the CGM device is definitely another tool in my toolbox! Blood sugar has been something I wanted to learn more about and improve (because there's always room for improvement!). Honestly, it was such a great experience, I absolutely loved all the data and analytics the CGM and app provide. At first the data was a little overwhelming, but the educational library and the registered dietitians are super helpful. With all the information I obtained from using the CGM, I was able to make some changes in my diet and lifestyle to see improvements in my energy, mood and concentration. .

#82 Signs of Thyroid Problems and Tips to Support the Thyroid | The Link Between the Thyroid and PCOS

8/4/2021
The thyroid is an organ in the body that is often referred to as a ‘hormone powerhouse’.

#79 PCOS DIET MYTHS: Debunking 7 popular PCOS diet beliefs

7/28/2021
In this episode I debunk 7 PCOS diet myths. With an over abundance of information (which is often also very conflicting) on what your PCOS diet should look like, it can be difficult to know what to follow. So because I understand how overwhelming it is, I have identified 7 PCOS diet myths. These are things we have followed and implemented at one point in our PCOS journey. Following these diet approaches I mention in the episode are not supporting the body because they are not addressing the root cause.

Today I am sharing with you why I went gluten free, my experience and whether gluten is something you should avoid too. Gluten is a protein found in wheat and it is often described as a 'bad' food and said to be the cause of all chronic disease. As result, there has been a large surge in people going gluten free.
