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

 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. That means my body can recover—it’s just been running on fumes.

Come nighttime, I rallied. 🕯️💪 




By 11:28 PM, stress had fallen to 36% 🧘‍♀️, energy had rebounded to 53% ⚡, and HRV soared to 71% 🌈—a full reset on my nervous system balance. My PSNS (rest-and-digest) finally kicked in, taking over from the SNS drive earlier in the day. I felt the shift. Even my focus registered 70% 🧠, which was a nice surprise. This tells me my stack, food, and maybe even my light evening helped pivot my recovery.

💊 Supplement Stack Today:

  • Zepbound (baseline: Friday dose)

  • Alpha Brain 🧠

🍬 Glucose Summary:

Stayed stable between 80–105 mg/dL all day.
No crashes, no spikes. Just smooth, stable numbers ✅

🔍 Takeaway:
This was the kind of day where you start on empty, break mid-shift, but recover hard by bedtime. I didn’t do anything fancy—just respected the slowdown, kept nutrition clean 🥚🥬, stayed hydrated 💧, and didn’t fight the crash. The numbers don’t lie: rest is productive.

  🔢  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 ...
