In this first episode of the Sugar & Strength Podcast, Kayla Girgen, RD, LD, CPT, shares the vision behind the podcast and what listeners can expect.

From blood sugar balance and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to functional fitness and rucking, this podcast cuts through health and nutrition noise with layered, nuanced conversations.

Grounded in Kayla’s experience as a Registered Dietitian, Personal Trainer, and long-time coach, the goal is to help listeners find practical, sustainable solutions that fit their life, because there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
