insulin mediates carbohydrates
secreted quickly after uptake
when glucose enters body cells
it saves you from thirst and tiring spells

beta cells in the pancreas
receptors detect the glucose call
halt the breakdown of fatty chains
keeping the balance within your veins

stressing out at evening
everything to think
is making me even more hungry
icecream white tempting all the night
hypothalamus will cry

it's a changing world
they fall and rise
burning yourself is not too much for the prize
lose some weight start from the baby steps
GI's just for reference
don't stop the mitochondria thrive

we all need glucose
for fights and flights
just remember to treat your kidneys nice
leave the daily metrics far behind
trust the quiet rhythm you'll find
it's a precious life


hormones shifts after menopause
metabolisms will slow and drop
signal transduction efficiency flops
insulin response is strikingly lost

as estrogen wanes
tissues listen less
insulin meets more resistance
menopause shifts fat to the core
alters fat's metabolic sense

Shock came from the mirror
Jeans that used to hug me are now left with the tears
looking for the mails we used to fly
keeping balance in my life

insulin is gold
cherish your mine
prevent the excessive glucose stealing your nights
activate GLUT4 through exercise
wait for insulin to shine
cuz cortisol will fade out in time

the neverending show
you're still in shine
senescence is not worth dimming your light
nevermind about your BMI
you're wonderfully built to survive

(just a little high)

it's a changing world
they fall and rise
burning yourself is not too much for the prize
lose some weight start from the baby steps
GI's just for reference
don't stop the mitochondria thrive

we all need glucose
for fights and flights
just remember to keep your spirit bright
leave the daily metrics far behind
trust the quiet rhythm you'll find
have an early night
