About this episode
So many women in midlife are doing everything right (eating clean, exercising, managing stress) yet still feeling off. The missing link? Blood sugar. In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Boris Berjan to explore how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is changing the way women understand their metabolism, hormones, and energy. We talk about why most CGMs give you numbers without context, how Theia translates those readings into clear daily scores, and the hidden ways stress, sleep, and even emotional triggers can spike glucose just like food. You’ll learn how to spot early signs of blood sugar imbalance, how syncing your fasting and nutrition with your cycle can help balance hormones, and why data only matters when it’s personal and easy to act on. Boris Berjan is the co-founder of Theia Health , a company reimagining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for women. He also shares his own healing journey and how it inspired him to build tech that puts real insight and power back into women’s hands.
