In this week’s episode, Renee explores how balancing your blood sugar is one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools for women’s health, energy, and longevity.

You’ll learn exactly how glucose works in the body, why pairing your meals correctly changes everything, and how movement and sleep directly affect your hormones. Renee also explains the connection between blood sugar and menstrual cycle health — and why stabilising your glucose rhythm helps reduce PMS symptoms, period pain, and mood swings.

What we cover in this episode:

• What blood sugar is and how it influences your hormones
• Why glucose spikes and crashes affect your energy, mood, and metabolism
• How to build balanced meals using protein, fat, and fibre-rich carbs
• How muscle acts as a glucose sink and why strength training matters
• The link between stress, sleep, and blood sugar regulation
• How balanced blood sugar supports a smoother menstrual cycle
• Practical ways to eat and move for steady energy every day

Cycle Sync Insight:

Stable blood sugar equals stable hormones. By regulating glucose through balanced meals and mindful movement, you reduce inflammation, support ovulation, and create the foundation for regular, pain-free cycles.

Myth Buster:

Myth: You have to cut out carbs to balance blood sugar.
Truth: You don’t need to fear carbs — you need to pair them. Carbohydrates are essential for thyroid and hormone health; when eaten with protein, fats, and fibre, they actually help regulate glucose instead of spiking it.

Takeaway Tools:

1. Pair every carb with protein + healthy fat + fibre.
2. Walk for 10–15 minutes after meals to support glucose control.
3. Prioritise sleep and manage stress — cortisol spikes equal glucose spikes.
4. Strength train regularly — your muscles are your biggest ally for insulin sensitivity.
