Insulin Resistance and Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Leah Vachani

In this episode, Dr. Eric talks with certified nutritionist and menopause specialist Leah Vachani about blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance, and how these issues often show up long before a diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Leah shares how her work with women in perimenopause and menopause led her to see blood sugar as a major missing piece in hormone health, energy, sleep, and weight regulation.

Together, they explore why stress, poor sleep, processed foods, and hormone shifts can all contribute to unstable blood sugar. Leah also explains how continuous glucose monitors can help people see their individual patterns more clearly, from food triggers to stress spikes, while also discussing the limits of CGMs, fasting insulin, A1C, protein intake, apple cider vinegar, intermittent fasting, and exercise.

This conversation gives listeners a practical, realistic look at how to support better metabolic health without chasing perfection. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of blood sugar imbalances and insulin resistance, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
