My final update on the Nextida GC CGM Challenge...

As a diabetes educator specializing in GLP-1 medications, I’m fascinated by how GLP-1’s can influence appetite, fullness, and blood sugar. I want to be transparent about my perspective: I have never taken a GLP-1 medication myself. My experience with GLP-1 medications comes from 15 years of experience educating and supporting others who use them.

For the past two weeks, I’ve consistently taken Nextida GC, a collagen-derived peptide powder designed to support the body’s natural GLP-1 response and help maintain a healthy blood sugar. It’s been simple to incorporate into my routine—mix one scoop of Nextida GC powder with 4-6 oz of water and drink 30 minutes before a meal.

One thing I noticed throughout this experiment is that I felt fuller sooner when I took Nextida GC before my main meal. That was probably the most noticeable difference for me, and it was interesting to observe how my appetite and fullness changed from one meal to the next.

I didn’t notice a change in cravings—and honestly, that makes sense for me. I maintain eating habits that generally support blood sugar balance, and I rarely experience strong cravings or the desire to snack between meals.

Based on my experience, I think Nextida GC is worth exploring for people looking for additional support with hunger, blood sugar support, and maintaining healthy eating habits.

Thanks for following along with my little glucose experiment! 🩸📈

Experiment #2: Two similar but not exact meals. Two vastly different glucose responses. 👀📈

For this experiment, I made a stir-fry with carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, and onions. I used brown rice ramen noodles (high in fiber) and made a homemade sauce from coconut amnios, fresh orange juice, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Although I did use different proteins for each (since my kids devoured the steak!) I kept the portions of the noodles and veggies as consistent as possible. The other variable was the time of day the meal was consumed and the difficulty measuring the sauce as it cooked well into the noodles.

Day 1: Stir-fry with steak and no Nextida GC for dinner (6pm)
Day 2: Stir-fry with chicken and Nextida GC 30 minutes before eating lunch (1pm)

The first day, I had my highest glucose reading yet! I was quite surprised that my blood sugar went as high as 180mg/dL! Whoa!

The second day, when I took Nextida GC beforehand, I saw a much smaller glucose response that resembled my normal spike near 120mg/dL after eating.

This definitely caught my attention. 👀

As a diabetes educator, I know there are a lot of factors that can affect glucose and considering I had only 2 meals with several different variables, I’m not jumping to any final conclusions from this although the data is quite impressive.

This is my personal experience and just one more data point in my Nextida GC experiment. This information makes me want to consider one more experiment before my CGM time is up….any suggestions?!

Nextida GC CGM Challenge Experiment #1: Same lunch. Three days of data. I kept all other variables as stable as possible.

I wanted to see what would happen if I kept my meal as consistent as possible and compared my blood sugar trends. I prepped a chicken and rice recipe evenly into 3 separate containers. I ate this at the same time of day for 3 consecutive days.

Day 1: no Nextida GC.
Days 2 & 3: Nextida GC 30 minutes before eating.

And I noticed a noticeable difference in my glucose response on the days I took it. 👀

I’m sharing my actual CGM data because I think it’s much more interesting to see what happened than for me to simply tell you about it. 📈

Of course, this is just my personal experience — but seeing the difference on my own CGM definitely made me curious.

I’m going to keep testing and see if this pattern continues.

I’m starting a little experiment as part of the Nextida GC CGM Challenge. 👀

I’ve been taking Nextida GC before a main meal and wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) so I can actually see how my blood sugar responds.

Nextida GC is a specific composition of collagen-derived peptides designed to support the body’s natural GLP-1 response and help maintain a healthy blood sugar response.
Early human research has shown a reduction in post-meal blood sugar response—which is exactly what I’m curious to see for myself using my CGM.

I’ll be looking at my blood sugar trends, paying attention to how I feel, and sharing what I learn along the way so stay tuned!

Special delivery today thanks to a FNCE giveaway! 🤗

I had the pleasure of meeting the creators of @fiveplusprotein Joel and Lynda and loved learning about their quest to create a bar that provided not only clean ingredients but that eliminated sugar crashes and bloating from processed protein bars.

All the flavors were so delicious but these peanut butter chocolate chip bars satisfy my sweet tooth! With 9 grams of fiber, 12 grams of protein, and no added sugars they make the perfect grab and go snack. These might just be the Last bar I buy 👌

Ready to give them a try? Click on the link in comments to order your sample box now! And don’t worry they offer a refund in case you decide they aren’t for you ✌️ by @myrdncoach

The expo hall for #FNCE 2025 was incredible!
Even after 3 days of learning and tasting new and seasoned products I’m still not sure I made it to every table!

The vast majority of products focused on hydration, fiber, or protein!

Companies such as @drinkwholesome @tryagoge @fiveplusprotein @heavenlywaffles were created by veterans or people like you and me looking for better products. They have not been on the market long and are ones to definitely try! They not only taste great but have real ingredients!

When you want cleaner ingredients in your electrolytes or fiber in your beverage to support a healthy gut then look out for @supergut @drinktiiga @justbetterfiber brands!

Speaking of fiber, my favorite was @usapulses with their delicious chickpea based Nutella spread 😋

Follow them on socials to see what they are all about and visit their websites to find a store near you!

Which one are stoked to try first? Comment below 👇 by @myrdncoach

That’s a wrap (@egglifefoods cinnamon wrap to be exact!) on National Nutrition Month!

I enjoyed giving healthier high protein “sweet” snacks to teachers in our school system! They sure did appreciate an afternoon snack that not only was filling but had ZERO added sugars!

Each wrap has 5 grams of protein and only 30 calories! By adding low fat cream cheese with strawberries and unsweetened coconut flakes or almond/peanut butter with banana and hemp seeds they could hit my recommended goal of 10-20 grams of protein for one snack💪

Thank you @egglifefoods for making a delicious, sugar-free, high protein product for those of us who love an afternoon sweet snack🙌 by @myrdncoach
