Description

Feeling foggy or fatigued after your “healthy” summer meals? You’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Alessia Roehnelt unpacks the surprising reason why many people experience energy crashes after eating fruit and smoothies during the warmer months.

Learn how heat, hydration, and blood sugar regulation interact—and why your favorite seasonal foods may be causing unexpected glucose spikes followed by rapid drops. These repeated insulin surges can lead to increased cravings, stubborn weight gain, and worsened metabolic health over time.

Whether you’re managing insulin resistance, PCOS, or just want to feel better in your body—this one’s a must-listen.
