Episode 55: How to Tell if Your Blood Sugar is a Problem

Talking about blood sugar isn’t exactly sexy or glamorous. It’s for sure not winning any clickbait awards. But blood sugar regulation is arguably one of the most important things to consider when we’re trying to put together an owner’s manual for our own healthy bodies.

The truth is that most people don’t realize just how much unstable blood sugar impacts their health—everything from hormonal balance to thyroid function to inflammation to brain health.

Just like Ron Burgundy, blood sugar is kind of a big deal.

Unstable blood sugar underlies many common symptoms—exhaustion, insomnia, significant pain & inflammation, anxiety, lack of motivation & drive, depression and brain fog. Even if you feel pretty good and you’re after more aesthetic goals, this stuff still matters. Both low blood sugar AND high blood sugar can cause you to gain weight.

Dysregulated blood sugar is an inflammatory cycle that’s hard to get out of. And it’s important that we all collectively get a beat on this. One of the most essential things a person can do to improve and maintain the health of their body and brain is to normalize blood sugar. After listening to this episode, you’ll understand why.
