Blood Sugar Regulation; Roller Coaster or Rolling River?
The Roller Coaster of blood sugar refers to the “sugar highs and sugar crashes” we have become accustomed to laughing off, but what if the design of our body craves a gentle rolling river to create optimal health and wellbeing?
The glucose levels in our blood are a very regulated balance in our bodies. A disregulated system leads to many poor outcomes; diabetes and hyperglycemia are just two.
According to the Nutritional Therapy Association, 2021, “blood sugar regulation affects all aspects of human physiology. If blood sugar regulation is not working efficiently, overall health cannot be achieved, leading to oxidative stress, glycation, and erratic energy output.”
Regulating this system will positively affect one's energy, integrity of every organ and blood vessel, aid in balancing hormones, sexual function, brain health, mood, memory and cognitive function.

Weight-loss
Reduced inflammation
