Curious about using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to gain insights to your blood sugar balance? In this episode, I share my personal 2-week CGM experiment—why I tried it, what I discovered, and whether it’s worth it.

While certain skin conditions like psoriasis often linked to blood sugar issues, it’s crucial to explore this for your best health – and the information can surprise you providing insights for other aspects like sleep, focus, energy and more!

In this episode, I’ll walk you through who should (and shouldn’t) use a CGM, what the experience was like, and what I wish I’d known before starting.
