Partners:
I've been using Nutrisense on and off for a couple of years now. I love being able to see how my blood sugar responds to my diet and habits, and run experiments. You can try out Nutrisense here and use GINA50 for $50 off.
I love love love the meals from Sakara Life! Use this link and the code GINAHSAKARA for 20% off their meal delivery and clean boutique items. This is something I do once a month as a lil treat to myself and the meals are always showstoppers.
If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don't currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don't begin on this path. They're friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career.
You can use my referral link here and the code FITNESSISTA for up to $250 off the Integrative Health Practitioner program. I highly recommend it! You can check out my review IHP Level 1 here and my review of Level 2 here.
I'm still obsessed with my sauna blanket. This is one of my favorite ways to relax and sweat it out. I find that it energizes me, helps with aches and pains, I sleep better on the days I use this, and it makes my skin glow. Link to check it out here. You can also use my discount FITNESSISTA15 for the PEMF Go Mat, which I use every day, and the red light face mask, which is a staple in my weekly skincare routine.
Get 20% off Organifi with the code FITNESSISTA. I drink the green juice, red juice, gold, and Harmony! (Each day I might have something different, or have two different things. Everything I've tried is amazing.) I'm currently obsessed with the shilajit gummies!

| 0:22.9 | Gina Harney. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the show. This is Gina, creator of the Fitnessista blog |
| 0:28.2 | and brand. I'm so thrilled that you're here today. Thank you so much for tuning in. And thank you |
| 0:32.8 | for all of your amazing support with the podcast. It means the world to me. So we have another beefy topic |
| 0:38.6 | this week in this week's solo episode. And I'm chatting a little bit more about OZempic. |
| 0:44.2 | And some of the things I might do if I were considering taking OZempic. So before we head |
| 0:49.3 | into today's episode, I wanted to talk to you guys about Nutrisense. So if you have not used Nutrisense or used as |
| 0:55.8 | CGM before, I think it's one of the most empowering tools that you can use in your health |
| 1:00.6 | journey. It gives you real-time feedback on how your body's responding to stress, different foods |
| 1:05.7 | that you're eating, your workout habits, your sleep, sugar intake, alcohol, all the things. I think it can be such a |
| 1:13.3 | helpful tool, even for those of us who do not have type 2 diabetes, but maybe borderline, maybe our |
| 1:20.1 | A1C has been a little bit higher than we would like it to be. This can be such a great tool to |
| 1:24.6 | look and see how your body's actually responding. So I've been a huge fan of Nutrisense for a couple of years now. I was so scared the first time I used a CGM. I am terrified of needles. I could not fathom putting one in myself. And my friend Mia actually talked to me off the ledge and she walked me through it. And it completely painless and it's not a needle that's in |
| 1:45.5 | your arm so the CGM has this little almost like plastic filament that sticks out of it and that's how |
| 1:51.3 | it will transfer those intersitial levels to see what your blood glucose is doing so it's not a needle |
| 1:58.9 | on your arm this entire time. It's a very soft |
| 2:01.3 | flimsy filament that goes in from the CGM, but you'll scan it with your phone using the Nutrisense app. |
| 2:07.3 | And then from here, their registered dietitian that they'll pair you with will help you go through |
| 2:11.4 | all of the data. It's really helpful for your first time. So you can look and see how different |
