A recent Woman’s World feature, Struggling With Belly Fat? Over-The-Counter Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Help, highlights how Suzy Demeester lost 69 pounds and transformed her health with the help of Dr. Tro Kalayjian, Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Toward Health, and a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM).
For years, Suzy followed the usual advice to avoid fat and count calories, but nothing worked. Then she saw a colleague’s success and found Dr. Tro and Toward Health’s dedicated coaching team.
She started by cutting carbs but still had weight to lose. That’s when Dr. Tro recommended a CGM to track her blood sugar in real time.
“Wearing a CGM is a game changer,” says Dr. Tro. “After analyzing 10,000+ CGM readings, I’ve identified key patterns that steady blood sugar—whether or not you wear one.”
What Suzy Learned:
- Hidden sugars mattered. Starbucks egg bites spiked her blood sugar due to potato starch. Even pasta sauce and “natural flavoring” had an impact.
- Stress and sleep played a role. Poor sleep and stress caused blood sugar swings, just like food.
- She wasn’t actually hungry all the time. Eating low carb helped her feel full, so she naturally ate just two meals a day.
- Small movements made a difference. A five-minute walk after meals helped lower her blood sugar.
With these changes, Suzy lost 69 pounds, dropped from a size 20 to a size 10, reversed her fatty liver, and got off blood pressure medication.
