❌You are not hungry all the time because you lack willpower.

You may have dysregulated hunger hormones that are sending your brain the wrong signals regardless of what and how much you eat.

➔GLP-1, leptin, and ghrelin are the three most clinically relevant hunger and satiety hormones.

And they are almost never discussed, tested, or addressed in standard care, despite the fact that they govern the experience of hunger, fullness, craving, and satisfaction at every meal.

📌Save this one for anyone who has ever been told to just eat less.

me: “i’m just a snack girl 💅”
my pancreas working overtime trying to keep up: absolutely not

Turns out it wasn’t a personality trait…
Just a blood sugar rollercoaster.

eat → spike → crash → repeat

And suddenly you “need” something sweet again 20 minutes later.

Once you fix the swings, the cravings get a lot quieter.

📸A single fasting glucose value is a photograph of one moment.
🎥A continuous glucose monitor is a movie.

And the movie reveals things that no standard lab test is designed to capture.

CGM technology has moved from an exclusively clinical tool for type 1 diabetes management to something used increasingly in functional medicine to understand glucose behavior in real time across real-world conditions.

Two weeks of CGM data can change everything about how you approach someone's blood sugar.

Sleep is a big issue and the cellular inflammation test in my office I see all of the time. A client got rid of her many years of hives when we reduced her inflammation.

The craving is not a character flaw.

That is the first thing I want to say to almost everyone who comes to me frustrated with their:
➠Eating
➠Energy
➠Inability to stop reaching for something sweet at 4pm even though they know better.

✅You know better.
✅You have known better for years.
✅You have read the books and followed the plans and been very disciplined for stretches of time.

💥And then the craving comes back, and it feels like failure.

It is not failure.
It is biology communicating through the only language your conscious mind can hear.

📌A craving for sugar at 3pm is often a blood sugar crash signaling that cells are not being adequately fueled.
📌A craving for salty, crunchy food in the evening is often an adrenal and cortisol signal.
📌A craving that appears right before your period is often a progesterone and serotonin conversation.
📌An emotional eating trigger that hits specifically when you are exhausted is a nervous system asking for a reward pathway because the body's resources are depleted.

Every one of these is information. And information can be worked with in a way that willpower alone never could.

When we stop treating cravings as the enemy and start treating them as data, everything changes. Because data can be investigated. And investigation leads to answers that last.
