Coffee Chat with Christine Pierangeli: Metabolic Health & Continuous Glucose Monitors

Curious how your food choices impact your energy, mood, and metabolism in real time?

Join us for an intimate coffee chat with Christine Pierangeli, Master Nutritionist, hosted by the Westin Athletic Club in collaboration with Vail Healthspan. This small-group discussion will explore how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) reveal your blood sugar patterns, and why stable glucose is the key to long-term health.

You’ll learn science-backed strategies around what, when, and how to eat to prevent spikes, crashes, cravings, and fatigue, and feel more energized, balanced, and in control of your health.
