Balancing Blood Sugar Through Food Pairing, Fiber, Movement, & More

In this week's episode we are laying out the basics around balancing blood sugar. Blood sugar plays an extremely important role in our bodies ability to function and heal, so we will talk about what blood sugar (glucose) is and the role it shares with our pancreas, liver, adrenals, and thyroid. We will talk about how glucose and insulin have a “lock and key” relationship, and why our cells may have a more difficult time accepting insulin and glucose. We will explain common symptoms of uncontrolled blood sugar, and the mechanisms that occur within your body when we eat and store glucose. 

We want to prevent elevated blood sugars and insulin resistance, but know that this can be tricky with hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s. We will discuss how to balance your blood sugar through the following topics:

• Food pairing


• Movement after eating


• Incorporating low glycemic foods


• Eating breakfast within 1-2 hours after waking


• Eating meals every 3-4 hours


• Incorporating FIBER


• Sleep hygiene 

We will also share some of our favorite supplements that, when used safely and with the guidance of a practitioner, can help regulate your blood sugar. Improving drastic blood sugar swings will allow your body to be able to better repair and process itself.
