INSIGHT

Blood Sugar Imbalance Symptoms

Blood sugar imbalances can manifest as cravings, fatigue, and reliance on caffeine.
These imbalances are linked to various health issues like brain fog, inflammation, and hormonal problems.

INSIGHT

Optimal Blood Sugar Levels

Optimal fasting blood sugar should be below 85 mg/dL, not 100 mg/dL as some guidelines suggest.
After eating, the increase should be less than 30 mg/dL ideally.

ADVICE

Food Sequencing

Prioritize food sequencing: eat vegetables first, then protein and fats, and lastly starches and sugars.
This order minimizes glucose spikes by allowing fiber to create a protective gut lining.
