Health class taught us the basics: This is your period.. Use birth control.. Don’t get pregnant. But we never actually learned about the journey of our cycle, what it meant for our hormones and how our body needs change throughout the process. Add type one diabetes to the mix and it adds in a lot more complexities.
Inside this episode, we sit down with Valeria Garcia, Keeping it 100 Alumni and Women’s Wellness coach to discuss creating a level playing field with hormonal health, blood sugars, and our daily habits.
Here’s what we discuss inside today’s episode:
– The science behind our cycle and hormone health
– Effects of hormonal birth control on our hormonal cycle
– How our cycle impacts our insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance
– How to sync with your cycle for optimal blood sugars and energy
– Our brand new Insulin Sensitivity Optimization Resource
