You know how sometimes a meal leaves you energize and other times sluggish, foggy, or even hungrier?

That may be your glucose talking. Foods that are sugar and carb heavy, and you know my experience here,

cause your body's glucose levels to spike often followed by a crash. This matters because it turns out

88% of us have suboptimal metabolic health. So glucose could be the next big thing to track when it comes to health. That's why we're excited about Lingo, a new biowerable from Abbott that tracks your glucose in real time. I've been wearing Lingo for weeks now and I've learned that for my body, if I move around after I eat a meal, my spike is much more gradual, much lower.

And so I've learned that I just need to get up and move around after I eat.

What works for me might work very differently for you, but that's what works for my body.

To see how your body responds to food and learn what you can do to improve your metabolism,

try lingo.

It starts at $49 for a two-week plan, no prescription needed.

For a limited time, save 10% on your first order with Happier at hellolingo.com.

The lingo glucose system is for users 18 years and older, not on insulin.

It is not intended for diagnosis of diseases, including diabetes.

Hello and welcome to happier, a podcast where we talk about ideas and strategies for making our lives happier, healthier, more

productive, and more creative. This week, we'll talk about some advice you might take from a college

freshman. Spoiler alert, that freshman is my daughter, and a hack for late night snacking. I'm Gretchen

Rubin, a writer who studies happiness, good habits, human nature, secrets of adulthood.

I'm in New York City in my little home office.

And joining me today from Los Angeles is my sister, Elizabeth Kraft.

And Elizabeth, everybody is very relieved to hear that you are back at home.

Yes, that's me, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in L.A. And yes, Gretsch, we're back at home.
