Dietitian Brigid Titgemeier explains why eating healthy doesn't always stop inflammation in women over 40. Blood sugar spikes trigger insulin resistance, which causes belly fat to release inflammatory chemicals that create fatigue, brain fog, and cravings. Her 7-Day Blood Sugar Reset program has helped over 29,000 women address this cycle.

If you feel like you eat pretty healthy, you're above the age of 40, and you feel like what used to work is no longer working, I want to explain why. Regular blood sugar spikes increase insulin resistance. As you become more insulin resistant, it increases the risk of belly fat. As belly fat is increasing, that also increases the release of inflammatory cytokines that increase not only a number of different symptoms like fatigue and mood swings, but also increase your risk of nearly every single chronic disease. As women's hormones change, our risk of insulin resistance and chronic inflammation increases. Even if you're eating healthy, you could be on a blood sugar roller coaster all day. And as you have large spikes in blood sugar, that increases inflammation, which then increases symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, cravings, and so much more. If you're looking for a targeted strategy created by a dietitian that's worked in 29,000+ women targeting the intersection of insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, join me for my 7-Day Blood Sugar Reset.
