Pre-diabetes, mood swings, low energy, weight gain... is your blood sugar level the real culprit?
Did you know that controlling your blood sugar level is the number one thing you can do to improve your health? I know, right?! Crazy!
When you don't control your blood sugar levels...
- Have you ever found yourself mindlessly reaching for a bag of chips or a slice of cake, even when you're not really hungry?
- Do you have trouble controlling your weight?
- Are you falling asleep at your desk at 10 am or between 2 and 4 pm?
- Do you grab caffeine to get through your day?
- Do you need wine to get to sleep at night?
- Do you get “Hangry”? (Hungry and angry)
- Did your doctor tell you to get your blood sugar under control?

Mind-blowing??
Do you see how you could think you have so many problems, and it could all be coming from not controlling your blood sugar levels? I have been challenged myself with this issue: ask my kids about my hangry moments!
You can feel really crappy when you don’t control your blood sugar, and you may not be able to figure it out until you get control of your lifestyle choices. I know, noone wants to hear this. The Standard American Diet (SAD) or Modern Urban Diet (MUD) is full of empty calories and high carbohydrates. These so-called “foods” deplete your system of the nutrients you need to make energy and wreak havoc on your body’s ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels over time.
This is the primary cause of inflammation for most people...
I know that seems like a bold statement, but I have literally seen patients' symptoms completely disappear within a couple of months of shifting. Because there are so many symptoms, we will need to look at labs.
I use an extensive Functional Health Panel to really figure out what is going on and make sure you don’t have any other deficiencies or issues that might also be causing your symptoms.
We will sit together and decide on your health goals. What needs to be tackled, and how would you like to tackle it? You are part of the solution so the plan is DOABLE!
We could use anything from a strict elimination diet to Paleo, or intermittent fasting to a meal replacement program with weekly coaching. Getting your blood sugar under control once and for all will be the beginning of a new path to health for you. Do you see how many things may heal just by changing one thing in your life—how and what you eat?
So many traditionally trained doctors are just not equipped to teach their patients about nutrition. They may tell you to eat right but never offer any actual “how-to” information. We totally have that covered for you! Let’s chat for 15 minutes and see if my solutions are a good fit for you.
