Perennial Wellness Podcast

This week on the Perennial Wellness Podcast, we continue our discussion on blood sugar balance and imbalances.

If you are having regular cycles, perimenopausal or post menopausal this podcast can give you insight into how your cycle changes your mood and eating habits. We discuss how throughout a women's cycle our hormones fluctuate, causing our bodies to become more or less insulin resistant.
