Let me paint you a picture from 2 AM last Tuesday. There I was, sprawled across my bathroom floor like a crime scene victim, except instead of being murdered, I'd just been ambushed by another nuclear-level hot flash. My pajamas were soaked, my sheets were soaked, and honestly?

Picture this: It's Tuesday morning, I'm standing in my kitchen, staring at a banana. Not eating it, mind you. Just... staring. Because I'm trying to remember if I read somewhere that bananas spike your blood sugar too much, or if that was just for
