So, what’s the deal with Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)? Let’s break it down! These little gadgets are like the trendy accessory everyone’s wearing, but they’re not just for the diabetes crowd anymore. Originally, they were lifesavers for folks with diabetes, helping them more swiftly and accurately target insulin dosing in response to blood sugar spikes. But now? They’ve become the latest wellness flex for CEOs and influencers who think they’re biohacking their way to immortality.

In this episode, Aimee busts some influencer BS and advises on when CGMs can be useful, while also providing practical strategies for metabolic health without tech dependency. If you’re tempted to jump on the CGM bandwagon, are already riding it and wondering if it is worth it, or want to explore a more nuanced take on the matter, this episode is for you!
