Use this link to Fullscript.com to get your lifetime 10% discount!On Today's Episode: So many people I talk to tell me that as long as they eat 8-10 times a day, they don't have crashes... or that as long as they don't eat any carbs, they don't have any blood sugar crashes... but neither of these things are sustainable or lead to long-term healing. In fact, both of these "blood sugar management strategies" actually lead to worsened blood sugar (as well as worsened metabolic hormones like insulin, leptin and cortisol). In this episode I talk about the steps you need to take to actually start HEALING instead of just managing or "hacking" your blood sugar!
