I tracked my blood glucose levels for a month, here’s what I found out:
Energy levels
Blood sugar provides the primary source of energy for the body’s cells.
Hormone balance
Insulin imbalances can affect other hormones in the body.
Metabolism
High levels of blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance and weight gain.
Gut microbiome
Blood sugar fluctuations can influence your gut bacteria composition.
The best insight of all: I still ate things like pizza and ice cream without it causing a huge amount of harm to my body!… because I clothe my carbs
If you’re eating any carb… combine it with fibre, fat, or protein for a reduced glucose spike!
So as you can see the hidden culprit behind your hormone imbalance and gut issues might be glucose 👀
No one wants to hear this (I get it – I love sugar) 🍦
But this isn’t a death sentence! I promise you can still eat carbs AND maintain stable blood sugar levels 👇🏼
🩸 First, let me explain. When it comes to hormones…
Rapid spikes in blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance, impacting hormonal balance, especially estrogen and progesterone.
Sudden drops in blood sugar trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol, affecting sex hormone production and menstrual regularity.
🌮 For gut health:
High blood sugar levels can encourage the growth of harmful gut bacteria, disrupting the delicate balance of your gut microbiome.
Really low blood sugar can stress the gut lining, potentially causing inflammation and compromising gut health.
📊 Imbalanced blood sugar levels ALSO can cause inflammation and stress on your body, which will almost always worsen any other imbalances or conditions you have.
