One of the most important things that women can do for our own health, which is keep our blood sugar steady.

And so it's not just what we're eating, but making sure that we are really getting an adequate distribution and a good distribution of what are called

macro nutrients so protein fats and carbs and our culture tends to lean into either

overeating protein you you know, a 32 ounce porter steak is not a healthy

protein any more than like only eating carbs is, right? And our diet tends to lean either inappropriately heavy, really pro-inflammatory

protein or really heavy carbs or typically a combination of both, rather than kind of a

steady state of getting enough protein, getting good quality protein, getting good quality

fat, and if you're going to eat some carbs, paying attention to how they feel for you and when you're

eating them.
