You’ve heard you should care about blood sugar & insulin, especially after 40. But why? Let’s make sense of why they matter & what to do.
About this Event

Blood sugar. Insulin. Insulin resistance. Glucose spikes.

These words are suddenly everywhere.

Maybe you’ve heard that women over 40 need to pay more attention to blood sugar. Maybe you’ve wondered whether you should be wearing a continuous glucose monitor, cutting out carbohydrates or worrying about every little spike after you eat.

Or maybe you’re thinking…

Do I really need to worry about this?

Let’s talk about it.

Join Heather Lynn, founder of Well After 40, for a practical, easy-to-understand conversation about blood sugar, insulin and why they become increasingly important as we move through perimenopause and beyond.

No biology degree required. 😉

We’ll talk about:

• What blood sugar actually is
• What insulin does and why we need it
• What insulin resistance means
• Why our ability to manage blood sugar can change as we age
• How blood sugar can affect hunger, cravings, energy and body composition
• What your doctor may look at when assessing your metabolic health
• Why carbohydrates aren’t the enemy
• How protein, fiber, healthy fats and carbohydrates work together
• How strength training, walking and everyday movement can support insulin sensitivity
• Simple things you can start doing right away

The goal isn’t to make you afraid of food or convince you that every rise in blood sugar is a problem.

It’s to help you understand what’s happening inside your body so all of the advice you’re hearing actually makes sense.

You’ll leave knowing why blood sugar and insulin matter, what deserves your attention and how some surprisingly simple nutrition and movement habits can support your metabolic health for the years ahead.

Come learn, ask questions and finally make sense of one of the biggest health conversations happening for women right now.

Free in-person workshop presented by Heather Lynn, Well After 40.

Heather Lynn is the founder of Well After 40 and a certified menopause coach and fitness professional who helps women navigate the confusing changes of perimenopause and beyond.

Her approach isn’t about extremes or trying to turn back the clock. It’s about learning how to work with the body you have now.
