Welcome to this episode of What We Tell Our Daughters. Today, we're going to talk about health data and how we can track our lifestyle changes to see how they truly impact our health. Specifically, we're looking at blood glucose and why it's important to track and understand even if you don't have diabetes.

Let's dive in! 🎧
