A $50 sensor on your arm, real-time data on your phone. The question isn't whether CGMs work. It's whether they're right for you.

In this episode, Jeff takes a clear-eyed look at continuous glucose monitors. After wearing one revealed his own pre-diabetes, he spent years sorting the signal from the noise. Here's what CGMs show, what they miss, and who should actually use one.

Inside the episode:

• How CGMs work, and why the 8 to 10% error margin matters
• Why your CGM is secretly one of the most honest stress monitors you can wear
• The glucose numbers worth knowing (and the ones to ignore)
• Why insulin resistance can precede a glucose spike by years
• The four CGM archetypes: Optimizer, Controller, Outsourcer, Curious Tourist
• The four biomarkers to check before you strap one on

This episode is for anyone thinking about metabolic health, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, or whether a continuous glucose monitor belongs on their arm.
