In this episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell take you back to “Brain School” to explore a topic every parent should understand how blood sugar impacts focus, mood, and learning.

Ever wonder why your child starts the day happy and focused, only to hit a mid-morning slump or have an afternoon meltdown? The answer might not be “just a bad day”  it could be blood sugar fluctuations at work.

You’ll learn:

• Why glucose is the brain’s premium fuel and how to keep it steady
• The science behind sugar spikes, crashes, and “hangry” moments
• Smart, practical swaps for breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks
• How to create “brain fuel” habits that stick for both kids and parents

With actionable tips like building savory breakfasts, packing upgraded lunchboxes, and running your own “Focus Fuel Challenge” at home, you’ll be ready to help your child thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Fuel the brain. Boost the focus. Transform the day.
