Question 2

I don’t have a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). Will this still work for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our goal is to have you understand your body better, with or without a CGM.

While we include guidance for CGM users, we also teach non-CGM participants how to tune into hunger, energy levels, cravings, and other natural signals to recognize blood sugar patterns without a device.

For example, a review from Claudia (member):
"I have been a member of the Blood Sugar Method for almost 4 months now. There has been so much improvement that has been thrilling to my doctor and me. I have lost 10 lbs with hardly any effort. It is one of those side benefits from this program. My latest blood test shows great improvement overall within my body. And my A1c is down from 7.2 to 6.6 now and steadily going lower. This is all due to the great program developed by Beth and Anja who are very knowledgeable in their professional fields. They are a great team of support and encouragement to us all who are working towards a healthier metabolic system. Plus all the members are supporting each other and cheering everyone on. I am so glad I found the BSM when I did."

Question 3

Using Your HSA or FSA for The Blood Sugar Method

Accepted Answer

Yes, many participants are able to use their HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) dollars for The Blood Sugar Method. In many cases, nutrition coaching can be reimbursed if your healthcare provider supplies a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN).

An LMN is simply a note from your doctor or nurse practitioner stating that nutrition coaching supports the treatment or management of a health concern — such as prediabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, PCOS, IBS, HRT or weight management. If your provider agrees it’s beneficial, they can write one for you.

Here’s how to get started:

Contact your HSA/FSA provider to confirm whether they cover nutrition coaching with an LMN.
Ask your healthcare provider if they will write and sign an LMN for you.
Sign up for your Blood Sugar Method program.
Submit your receipt (and LMN, if required) to your HSA/FSA provider for reimbursement.

We’ll provide clear receipts and support documents to make the process smoother. While we can’t guarantee approval, many clients successfully use HSA/FSA funds for nutrition coaching.

Why it’s worth it: this is money you’ve already set aside for your health — and it can help you invest in long-term energy, balanced blood sugar, and sustainable habits!

Question 4

Will this course help me lose weight?

Accepted Answer

The focus of this course is improving your metabolic health, stabilizing blood sugar, reducing A1C levels, and building sustainable habits—which often leads to weight loss as a natural byproduct.

By fueling your body properly, reducing cravings, and balancing blood sugar, you’ll set the foundation for sustained energy, fat loss, and long-term wellness.

If you're using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, this program is the perfect complement to ensure you have a long-term plan for sustained success.

Question 5

I don’t eat [insert food here]. Can I make a substitution?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Any food can be swapped out for another food in its same category. That means any proteins (meat, eggs, protein powder, greek yogurt) can be swapped for a different protein, any veggies can be used instead of the ones listed in the meal, and any starches (sweet potato, beans, legumes, grains, fruit) can be swapped for other starches. When you’re making these swaps, try to use the same quantity to keep the integrity of the recipes. We provide specific ingredient swaps from the recipes in a guide! Note that different food swaps have different blood sugar properties and may react differently in your body.

Plus -- chat us your ingredient substitution questions in The Membership community chat! We are here and are excited to help you.

Question 6

When do The Course and The Membership start and finish?

Accepted Answer

For The Self-Paced Course, you will have access for 12 months starting from the day you purchase The Course. It is estimated it will take you about 6 weeks to complete, spending 1-3 hours per week on course materials. You also get 1 month free access to the Community Chat.

Question 8

Does this include access to Substack?

The Blood Sugar Method is separate and different from Substack newsletters & recipes.

The Blood Sugar Method is focused on offering attainable resources, guidance, education and recipes that are not the same as Beths' Nest Wellness Substack and Anja's Modern Women's Nutrition Substack.

Question 9

Is this course for women only?

No! While we focus on women’s metabolic health, hormones, and blood sugar balance, the principles apply to anyone looking to improve their energy, digestion, and metabolic function. Husbands, partners & families are welcome to join!

You will have access for 12 months to all course materials, so you can go through it at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime. This is part of our commitment to ensuring your success.

Do you offer refunds?
