What is your body trying to tell you?

Changes in sleep. Energy. Mood. Weight. Brain fog. Hormones.

It’s easy to dismiss these things as stress or simply getting older. But as a functional medicine nurse practitioner focused on hormonal health, Sandy takes a whole-person approach to understanding how different aspects of our health can be connected.

That’s why Sandy is excited to be speaking at The Capacity Collective Experience: Living With Capacity, October 23–24 at Oglebay.

Reyné O’Shaughnessy has brought together an extraordinary group of women physicians and practitioners—experts in hormonal health, midlife health, bone health, mental and emotional wellbeing, nutrition, movement, financial wellbeing, and more.

And here’s what makes this experience different: You get access to all of these perspectives in one place.

Come listen. Learn. Ask your questions. And leave with a better understanding of what may be affecting how you feel, along with practical information you can use to support your health and well-being.

❗️3 tips to support healthy blood sugar levels!

💥 Watch until the end to hear all three! 💥

Why does blood sugar management matter?

Supporting healthy blood sugar levels can play a role in:
⚡️ Maintaining steady energy levels
⚖️ Supporting weight management
❤️ Supporting long-term metabolic health and reducing the risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes

One condition closely tied to metabolic health is metabolic syndrome, which is a group of risk factors that can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. More than 1 in 3 U.S. adults are estimated to have metabolic syndrome.

Insulin resistance is one component that can contribute to changes in blood sugar regulation. It occurs when the body's cells don't respond to insulin as effectively, making it harder for glucose to move from the bloodstream into cells.

The good news? Nutrition and lifestyle habits are among the factors we can influence. 🙌

💥 Tune in as Bethany shares 3 practical tips to help support healthy blood sugar levels!
