Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Nutrition Counseling
Personalized insight into your metabolism — guided by real data, compassionate care, and a whole-body approach.
At Holistika Health Group, we use Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to help you understand how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and daily habits — so nutrition counseling becomes more precise, personalized, and sustainable.
What Is Continuous Glucose
Monitoring (CGM)?
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) uses a small
wearable sensor to track glucose levels throughout the
day and night. Unlike a single lab test or finger-stick reading, CGM shows patterns and trends over time, offering real-world insight into how your body responds to everyday life.
CGM helps us look beyond numbers and understand metabolic patterns that influence energy, cravings, mood, and overall health.
Why We Use CGM in Nutrition Counseling
Every body responds differently to food. Two people can eat the same meal and experience completely different glucose responses.
CGM allows our clinicians to:
Identify glucose spikes and drops that may contribute to fatigue or cravings
Understand how meal timing, food combinations, and portions affect you
See how sleep, stress, and movement influence metabolism
Create truly personalized nutrition strategies — not generic plans
CGM is not about restriction or perfection. It’s about learning how your body works so you can make informed, realistic changes.
Who CGM Nutrition Counseling Is For
CGM-guided nutrition counseling may be helpful if you:
Have prediabetes, insulin resistance, or diabetes
Want to prevent metabolic disease
Experience energy crashes or strong cravings
Have PCOS or metabolic concerns
Want deeper insight into how specific foods affect your body
Prefer a functional, non-diet approach to nutrition
You do not need a diabetes diagnosis to benefit from CGM insights.
Types of CGMs We Commonly Work With
We most commonly support clients using:
Dexcom (G6 / G7)
Freestyle Libre (2 / 3)
These CGMs are widely used, clinically validated, and often prescribed by medical providers for individuals with prediabetes or diabetes. If you are using another CGM device, our clinicians can still review and interpret your glucose data during nutrition counseling sessions.
Coordination With Your Primary Care Provider (PCP)
If CGM data indicates glucose levels in the prediabetes or diabetes range, we work collaboratively with your medical team.
Our clinicians:
Coordinate care with your PCP or referring provider
Support documentation for CGM prescriptions when appropriate
Align nutrition recommendations with your medical plan
Nutrition counseling complements medical care — it does not replace it.

What CGM Is — and What It’s Not
CGM is:
A learning and awareness tool
Supportive of sustainable behavior change
Personalized and data-informed
CGM is not:
A diet or meal plan
About perfection or constant monitoring
About labeling foods as “good” or “bad”
Our goal is empowerment, not control.
