When women in midlife experience afternoon energy crashes, wake up at 3am for no reason, or watch belly fat accumulate despite nothing changing, the first thing we blame is hormones. But what if your hormones are not the root cause, and everything you have been chasing has been one step removed from what is actually driving it all?In this episode of The Well Drop, I sat down with Boris Berjan, co-founder of Theia Health, to talk about the real root cause behind the most frustrating midlife symptoms. It starts with your blood sugar, and once you understand how quietly it shifts without you ever feeling it, the way you think about every symptom you have been trying to fix will never be the same.Boris Berjan is the co-founder of Theia Health and has spent years studying glucose patterns across thousands of users, giving him a rare front-row seat to how blood sugar dysregulation actually shows up in real women's bodies before it ever appears on a lab result.
