hello Laura nice vlog you do have a really beautiful home. On waking up hungry that might be an indicator of high insulin resistance and an early indicator of pre diabetes. Kindly visit a doctor and request them do a A1C test to check your sugar levels. Early detection of high insulin resistance might mean avoiding type 2 Diabetes in the future. Being a medic myself there has been a sharp increase in diabetes especially in under 40s off late. Stay safe.
