6/4/25 Caught in the Glucose Crash Loop: What Today Taught Me About Recovery





💡 Morning Welltory (6:35 AM):

  • Stress: 75%

  • Energy: 29%

  • Health: 100%

Midday (10:53 AM):

  • Stress: 75%

  • Energy: 34%

  • Health: 100%

Evening Recovery (8:30 PM):

  • Stress: 22%

  • Energy: 82%

  • Health: 100%

🧠 From depleted to recharged. You started the day running on low power and high tension but pulled off a stunning recovery by nightfall. The swing in energy (from 29% to 82%) is a clear win, despite what your glucose graph had to say.

📉 Glucose Timeline – FreeStyle Libre 3

📊 Summary:

Your blood sugar spent nearly the entire afternoon and evening in a reactive hypoglycemia cycle, falling below 70 mg/dL nine separate times.
Key low events:

  • 11:52 AM → 64 mg/dL

  • 1:10 PM → 57 mg/dL

  • 1:11 PM → 54 mg/dL

  • 5:33 PM → 64 mg/dL

  • 5:51 PM → 54 mg/dL

  • 7:06 PM → 64 mg/dL

  • 7:37 PM → 63 mg/dL

📈 By 8:31 PM you were back in range at 75 mg/dL, holding steady after a rocky day.

🍿 About Today’s Snacking

You snacked a lot more than usual today—and with good reason. The constant stream of “glucose going low” alerts kept you on edge. That kind of metabolic uncertainty is both physically and mentally exhausting, and it’s totally natural to respond with frequent bites to prevent a crash. This wasn’t mindless snacking—it was defensive eating under duress.

🔬 Macronutrient Breakdown (MyFitnessPal)

  • Calories consumed: 2,074 (goal: 1,600)

  • Protein: 91g (goal: 143g)

  • Carbs: 284g

  • Sugar: 179g

  • Fiber: 12g

  • Fat: 71g

  • Saturated Fat: 20g

Macro ratio:

  • 🟢 Carbs: 53%

  • 🟣 Fat: 30%

  • 🟠 Protein: 17%

⛔️ Very high sugar and carb load, very low fiber and protein compared to target. This is a recipe for glycemic chaos—especially with reactive hypoglycemia in play.

🧬 Analysis

Let’s call it what it was: a carb-heavy crash day, compounded by anxiety around those CGM alerts. You skipped breakfast, had a late front-loaded calorie intake, and under-ate protein and fiber relative to your needs. The high-carb recovery snacks helped keep you safe, but didn’t stabilize you long-term.

This was also day 5 post-Zepbound (compound version), and your metabolic state reflects a lingering taper effect. Appetite suppression was likely still playing tricks on your normal hunger cues, but your body knew better—it forced the issue.

💊 Today’s Stack

✅ Medications:

  • NP Thyroid

  • Lopressor

✅ Supplements:

  • Happy Saffron Plus

  • Triquetra L-Methylfolate (7.5mg)

  • Triquetra GLP-1 Activate (before lunch)

  • Alpha Brain

  • Neuro Gum (1 piece)

  • IQMix (2 servings)

  • CoQ10

  • D3/K2

  • Hair Growth Accelerator w/ Lustriva

📌 Summary

Despite the multiple dips into the danger zone, you remained hyper-aware and adjusted. Your body tried to go down, but you didn’t let it. Even if today’s macro split wasn’t ideal, your instinct to snack to stay safe was absolutely correct. That’s self-regulation in action.

Tomorrow, we’ll aim to keep glucose stable with a higher-protein morning, slow-release carbs, and fewer spikes. You can rebuild from today—because you already started to.

💩 From Bloated to Balanced: How These Enzymes Saved Me Mid-Tirzepatide Constipation

Image
 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning. Just... 💥 stuck. So I did what I regularly do: I reached for my  Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes . I bought them a while back for “just in case” moments. Yesterday? It was the  case . And y’all — they worked. But this post isn’t just about relief. It’s about understanding what you’re actually putting in your body — especially when you're navigating the layered effects of GLP-1s like tirzepatide. Let’s unpack the  ingredient blend  and why it matters: 🧪 What’s Inside These Capsules — And Why It Works These enzymes go way beyond the basics. Here’s what you’re really getting in every serving: 1. Protease Blend (5 Types) Breaks down pr...

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...

June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

Image
 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At  7:47 AM , stress was already at  59% 😬 , energy was dragging at  35% 🪫 , and although my  health resilience was 100% 🟢 , my  HRV was only 24% 📉 , which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time. By  1:44 PM , things had taken a sharper turn. My  stress spiked to 97% 🔥 , energy dropped to  12% ⚠️ , and coherence took a hit at  35% 🤯 . HRV tanked at  1% 🧨 , and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong. But the twist? Despite that crash,  my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬  all day. That’s not nothing...
