Reflection:
This morning, my numbers were rough. After spending the night with my glucose crashing into the 50s and low 60s, I woke up in a state of total nervous system overload. My stress level was 72%, HRV had plummeted to 15%, and coherence was nearly flatlined at 3%. Even though my sleep duration looked decent on paper, the quality wasn’t there. I never got the recovery I needed.

I started the day feeling wired but exhausted, like my body had been through something—and it had. That sympathetic dominance was reflected in my metrics and in how I felt: foggy, slow, and on edge. I kept meals protein-forward and predictable, added in a BelliWelli bar to make up for the fiber I missed yesterday, and stayed intentional about movement and hydration.

By evening, things had shifted. Not dramatically, but enough to notice. Stress dropped to 63%, HRV rebounded to 41%, and my system started to ease back toward balance. But energy dropped to 24%, and my coherence score never fully recovered. I didn’t crash, but I didn’t bounce either. The nervous system fatigue is still there, just quieter now.

Comparing morning to evening, the story is clear: I survived the aftermath of the crash. My metrics reflect that slow climb from dysregulation toward balance. I’m grateful for the steadiness in my glucose today—it gave me a foundation. But my system is still recovering, and I’m honoring that.

Tonight is all about gentle habits. I’m not pushing anything. Just keeping things calm and predictable. If today was about surviving the storm, tomorrow is about rebuilding in its wake.

  🔢  Glucose & Hypoglycemia Recap Today was another rollercoaster day in glucose management. I experienced  multiple confirmed hypoglycemic drops —the lowest reaching  53 mg/dL at 8:58 PM . Logged low glucose events: 2:58 AM — 63 mg/dL 2:23 PM — 63 mg/dL 8:00 PM — 64 mg/dL 8:27 PM — 54 mg/dL 8:58 PM — 53 mg/dL These episodes came despite balanced meals, suggesting  reactive hypoglycemia , possibly from timing mismatches between meals, digestion, and hormonal insulin response. I also did  not take Neuro Gum  today, which often helps buffer fatigue-related cognitive dips. ⌚  Apple Watch HRV Snapshot Earlier Reading (5:16 PM): Stress: 45% Energy: 77% Health: 100% Later Reading (9:02 PM): Stress: 93% Energy: 32% Health: 100% This confirms what I felt internally: I had  plenty of momentum early in the day , but stress and glucose dips by evening created a  major crash , which my body worked hard to bounce back from. 🧬 Apple Watch HRV Sn...

5-14-25 Stable Glucose, Shaky System: My Body’s Plot Twist Today

Image
 Last night I got decent sleep—over 6 hours—with a boost in deep and REM sleep that pushed my SleepWatch score to 448. While that was encouraging, I still woke up running on low battery. My morning HRV was just  34% , with  energy at 16% , and a  medium stress load (66%) . My  health resilience was maxed at 100% , but I could feel the disconnect between my body’s strength and my brain’s sluggishness. My glucose started off well at  105 mg/dL , holding steady for most of the day—until around 5:15 PM when I dropped to  62 mg/dL , triggering a hypoglycemia alert. I corrected it quickly, but it was a sharp dip and definitely contributed to the shakiness and low energy I’d been sensing. By  evening , my HRV cratered to just  5% , and my nervous system flipped into full  sympathetic dominance (53 SNS vs. 10 PSNS) . Stress hit  86% , and energy crept up only slightly to  21% . Focus dipped throughout the day as well, ending at a modes...

Digestion Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery—Here’s What I Use to Stay Regular (and Burp-Free)

Image
 Let’s get real about a not-so-fun part of the GLP-1 journey:  digestive side effects . Tirzepatide has changed my life—but it's also changed my gut. I’ve been on it for nearly three years, and once I hit the higher doses (10 mg, now 12.5 mg), I noticed two very common but very unpleasant issues:  constipation  and  sulfur burps . I’ve managed both successfully with a combo I swear by. And today? I needed both. Here's why. What Are Sulfur Burps, and Why Do They Happen on Tirzepatide? If you’ve never experienced a sulfur burp, count yourself lucky. They taste and smell like rotten eggs, thanks to  hydrogen sulfide —a gas created when bacteria break down food in your digestive tract. Tirzepatide slows down gastric emptying, which is great for satiety and blood sugar control, but it also gives food more time to ferment… and when that happens? You get  the burps . It doesn’t happen every day for me—but when it does, it’s awful. I got hit with a strong one ...
