Case Study 1: Janet’s Nighttime Awakening
Janet, 51, noticed she was waking up thirsty every night. Her energy dipped during the day, but she brushed it off. After tracking her diet, she realized her dinner often included pasta and soda—with no vegetables.
She started pairing her carbs with protein, added a 10-minute walk after dinner, and within two weeks, her nighttime thirst eased. “I didn’t change everything,” she said, “just the order I ate.”
Case Study 2: Mark’s Morning Fog
Mark, 47, felt constantly tired despite going to bed early. He often had late-night snacks—cookies, cereal, even orange juice. After learning about post-meal glucose spikes, he swapped his bedtime snack for Greek yogurt with cinnamon.
Within days, he slept more soundly and woke up alert. “I realized my body wasn’t craving sugar—it was craving balance.”
