As estrogen declines, your body becomes more sensitive to blood sugar swings. Even small spikes after meals can lead to:

A CGM is a small, wearable sensor that tracks your blood sugar 24/7. It shows you:
It’s like turning on the light in a dark room – suddenly, you see what’s really happening inside your body.
I have been talking for years about the importance of blood sugar monitoring for peri- and postmenopausal women. In my experience, this is always the very first step to gaining insight into metabolic health. For many women, it is also the single biggest step toward finally losing weight.
The problem? It’s been a hassle. In the past, getting a continuous glucose monitor often required prescription. And even if women managed to get one, like the Abbott sensor, the companion app used standard diabetes thresholds – not the more stringent functional medicine parameters that truly help reverse insulin resistance.
That meant guiding yourself through the numbers was nearly impossible.
This is why I am so excited that TheiaHealth has developed an app with functional medicine cut-offs built in. Their platform makes it easy to log meals, see patterns, and truly understand your metabolism in real time.
And here’s the key: the TheiaHealth app is only available through functional medicine practitioners. That’s why I have signed up with them – so you can now purchase the most advanced sensors and gain access to their advanced app directly through my account.
