Why Skipping Meals Is Secretly Raising Your A1C (Even If You Eat Healthy)

If your A1C has been creeping up (6.0+) and you can't figure out why, this episode reveals the hidden culprit: skipping meals when you're busy.

You're not eating junk food. You make decent choices when you do eat. But when you skip breakfast, power through on coffee, and finally eat at 2pm, you're creating glucose volatility that drives your average blood sugar up—and that shows up as a rising A1C.

In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body when you skip meals, why stress hormones make it worse, and the simple meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep.

What You’ll Learn:

-  Why skipping meals raises blood sugar (even when you're not eating) 

- How stress hormones amplify the spike-and-crash cycle 

- Why busy professionals are uniquely prone to this pattern

 - The meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep 

**This episode is for you if:** 

✓ Your A1C is 5.7-6.4 and climbing 

✓ You often skip breakfast or go 5+ hours without eating 

✓ You crash by mid-afternoon despite "eating healthy"

So many of the executives and professionals I talk to report scarfing down their lunch as a weekly occurrence. 

This is one of the most common patterns I see in executives whose labs start creeping up—even though they don't think they're doing anything wrong.
