In this Glow Bite, the focus is on one simple yet powerful shift that can support hormones, energy, mood, and metabolism during perimenopause: swapping sugar-sweetened beverages for healthier options. The episode delves into the harmful effects of sugary drinks on blood sugar levels and offers practical alternatives like water, Zevia, sparkling waters, coffee, and tea. The discussion includes the importance of reading labels to avoid artificial sweeteners and suggests healthier alternatives such as stevia, monk fruit, and allulose. The hosts also touch on the benefits of electrolyte packets and flavored water drops to encourage better hydration. The episode concludes with a reflection encouraging listeners to make small changes to stabilize blood sugar and offers links to healthy dessert recipes and favorite food and drink finds.
