What if you could head into the holidays already feeling energized, nourished, and confident in your nutrition—rather than waiting until January to start over?

In this episode of The BeingBrigid Show, Brigid is joined by one of BeingBrigid’s functional registered dietitian, Christina Palmasano, to talk about the Fall Blood Sugar Reset and how to prepare for seven days of science-backed, blood-sugar-balanced nutrition.

They discuss insulin resistance, blood sugar balance, women's health, protein, fiber, whole-food carbohydrates, plant diversity, inflammation, cravings, energy, and why a nutrition plan built around both structure and flexibility can be more sustainable than restriction.

You'll also get practical tips for preparing for the Blood Sugar Reset, including protein powder recommendations, kitchen equipment, grocery shopping, recipe swaps, family-friendly meal prep, and how to adjust carbohydrate intake based on your individual needs.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:
Why fall is such a powerful time to create structure and consistency around your health
What insulin resistance is and how it can relate to fatigue, cravings, hunger, and irritability
Why eating “healthy” isn’t always the same as eating in a blood-sugar-balanced way

What to do if you experience headaches, lightheadedness, or fatigue during a nutrition reset
How to prepare for the Blood Sugar Reset before the 7-day program begins
How to customize recipes for your preferences, family, activity level, and carbohydrate needs
The protein powders, kitchen equipment, and bulk grocery items that can make meal prep easier
