DON’T IGNORE SUGAR CRAVINGS…

…stop them in their tracks!

Simply:

- Eat 4-5 times daily

- Include protein and healthy fat with each meal

- 50% of your plate should be veggies

- Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes

- Take targeted supplements - they can help you prevent cravings!

Are you providing your body with the tools it needs to balance your blood sugar?

GlucoResolve® is a daily multivitamin to support healthy blood sugar levels. In addition to foundational vitamins and minerals, GlucoResolve® contains Taurine, Lipoic Acid, Pomegranate Seed Extract, EGCG, NAC, Berberine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Forskolin, Grapeseed and Quercetin that help foster healthy weight management, optimize metabolism, provide powerful antioxidants, and promote AMPK activity.

Biotics Research has selected the nutrients and botanical extracts backed by science so you can naturally and effectively support your body in blood sugar regulation now and far into the future.

Try GlucoResolve® out for yourself here https://heartlightclinic.estorerx.com/

OH! BERBERINE HCL?

Berberine is an exciting plant compound that emerging research has shown to be effective in reducing fasting and postprandial blood sugar (that means before and after meals) by more than 30%.

A study published in a well-known academic journal may explain why: berberine not only has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but it may also help reduce insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes.

Around ten years ago, another study found that berberine not only lowered blood glucose levels, but also hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), triglycerides, and insulin in people with type 2 diabetes.

To try it for yourself, visit https://heartlightclinic.estorerx.com/

SIMPLE SWITCHES THAT ARE BLOOD SUGAR FRIENDLY

- Add 1-2 portions of leafy greens and/or berries and remove the bread/pasta or potatoes

- Cook with coconut oil or olive oil instead of vegetable oil

- Add grilled chicken or fish and avoid anything fried

- Remove processed snack foods and choose an apple or handful of nuts

Small changes to your foods can have a huge impact over time on your blood sugar.

QUICK, HEALTHY SNACKS FOR MOTHERHOOD

Caring for a baby around the clock can make healthy blood sugar levels a thing of the past.

But it doesn’t have to!

Did you know:

-High blood sugar during pregnancy increases your chances of type 2 diabetes and child obesity

-Your body uses glucose in the blood to make breast milk

-An additional 330-400 calories per day is recommended for breastfeeding mothers

-It’s not just kids who need to eat healthily, and regularly!

To help keep your blood sugar balanced on the run, try these quick-to-prepare snacks:

- Cottage cheese & berries

- Hardboiled eggs & fruit

- Cheese & apple/grapes

- Hummus & crackers/carrot sticks

HYPOGLYCEMIA: MORE COMMON THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

Low blood sugar is a common health issue. The signs and symptoms include:

- Fast heartbeat

- Shaking

- Sweating

- Nervousness or anxiety

- Irritability or confusion

- Dizziness

- Hunger

Standard hypoglycemia treatment focuses on managing hypoglycemia, not necessarily reversing it or fully resolving it. Natural hypoglycemia regimens are designed to curb the shakiness, low energy and crashes for good.

Many people who experience the above symptoms have also been told that their blood sugar results look good.

The truth is that a variety of root causes may be behind your symptoms, such as adrenal fatigue, and proper, comprehensive analysis of your health history and current situation may be needed to help you return to proper health.

Yes, that means waving goodbye to blood sugar imbalance!

Underlying causes of hypoglycemia may include:

-Sleep deprivation

-Gut bacteria imbalance

-Recent surgery

-Use of antibiotics

-Physical inactivity or overtraining

-Undereating

-Chronic stress

-A Western diet (processed, packaged, bad fats, sugar, additives)

-Environmental toxins

-Nutrient imbalances

We help people who have blood sugar imbalances to return to health using natural and advanced methods. DM us to find out more!

STUCK IN A DAILY CRAVING/BLOOD SUGAR NIGHTMARE?

We help people to escape challenging cyclical health issues like blood sugar problems.

Ready to step off the treadmill, normalize your blood sugar levels and regain your health and your sanity?

Here are triggers of blood sugar imbalance you probably haven’t identified yet:

A LACK OF HEALTHY FATS

Ever heard of very low lipoproteins? They aren’t your friend but omega-3 fatty acids are!

Here’s why:

Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA can convert diabetes-linked very low-density lipoproteins to healthier low-density lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are molecular complexes that transport cholesterol and other fats in the bloodstream, playing a crucial role in maintaining lipid balance and delivering fats to cells throughout the body.

Research has found that high blood sugar affects the function in areas of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s no surprise then that medical literature refers to Alzheimer’s as “type 3 diabetes.”

A ketogenic diet can do wonders for your brain health by transforming you into a fat burner. This transitions your body into relying on fat for fuel instead of sugar, which has been shown to enhance brain health. This is because fat is a more sustainable and longer-lasting form of energy. In fact, as babies we relied on fat in the form of breast milk for energy and development. Hop off the blood sugar roller coaster and load up on healthy fats instead.

NOT GETTING ENOUGH ANTIOXIDANTS

Eating foods that aren’t bright or dark in color may indicate that you’re not getting enough antioxidants to aid proper blood sugar regulation, and neutralize the body’s natural inflammatory response that may accompany high blood sugar levels.

Support your antioxidant and detox pathways by including green tea, astragalus, ginger and wild-caught fish. By including quercetin, EGCG from green tea, and resveratrol (in grapes) in your diet and supplement collection.

THE BLOOD SUGAR NUTRIENTS

Which nutrients and botanicals can best help you normalize your blood sugar?

Green tea contains the compound EGCG, which has been shown to stabilize blood sugar in scientific studies.

Multiple studies have shown that alpha-lipoic acid supplements may help support proper insulin sensitivity and blood sugar metabolism.

Vitamin E, or tocopherol, has been seen to boost insulin sensitivity.

Vitamin D improves metabolism and positively influences the genes that support healthy blood sugar balance.

Emerging research shows that berberine may be effective in managing the symptoms of type-2 diabetes because of its support for healthy blood sugar.

Want all these and more natural options in one small, easy-to-swallow package?

We love Berberine HCl and GlucoResolve® from Biotics Research.

Berberine HCl supplies the beneficial, active compound isolated from Berberis vulgaris (barberry). With a long history of use in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to support normal glucose and/or lipid metabolism, it provides botanical support to help you attain healthy blood sugar levels.

GlucoResolve® is a daily multivitamin that contains foundational vitamins and minerals, as well as taurine, lipoic acid, pomegranate seed extract, EGCG, NAC, berberine, acetyl-L-carnitine, forskolin, grapeseed and quercetin that help foster healthy weight management, optimize metabolism, and provide powerful antioxidants.

You can order both Berberine HCl and GlucoResolve® at https://heartlightclinic.estorerx.com/

HOW MUCH DO BLOOD SUGAR PEAKS/TROUGHS AFFECT YOUR HEALTH?

Most people don’t realize how much their blood sugar goes up (and down) in a day, and the negative impact that may have on their health.

The good news is that the reverse is also true!

When you balance your blood sugar, you can also improve your sleep, energy, metabolism, hormones, mood, and your body’s inflammatory response.

WHERE TO START WITH BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE

Optimize Sleep

Poor sleep and blood sugar problems may go hand in hand because your blood sugar levels may rise more when you sleep fewer hours. In fact, people with insomnia are at a greater risk for diabetes. In addition to sleeping a full 8 hours, you can also explore the benefits of magnesium to optimize your rest. Magnesium aids sleep by promoting relaxation, calming the nervous system, and regulating the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

Boost Metabolism

Intermittent fasting is particularly good for helping with insulin resistance and increasing metabolism, according to studies. In one study, people of various ages with type 2 diabetes on medication for over 10 years were asked to eat a low-carb diet and do three 24-hour fasts per week. By the end of the trial, each patient was able to discontinue their insulin medication, and everyone lost weight.

Switch Up Your Energy Intake

Is your blood sugar going up and down because of your carbohydrate intake?

If you eat a lot of fruit, you should know that your body can’t distinguish the difference between natural and non-natural types of sugar. Focus on small portions of low-fructose fruits like melons and berries over higher-fructose options like apples, pears, cherries, etc.

The Keto diet has been shown in research to reverse the symptoms of type 2 diabetes in just 10 weeks… Many practitioners recommend it because multiple studies show that it may lower insulin levels, as well as support proper insulin sensitivity and the body’s inflammatory response.

Which habit will you focus on first?

Save this post!

KNOW THE SIGNS OF BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE

Is more than one of the following true for you?

1. Eating sweets doesn’t make your sugar cravings go away, it increases them!

2. You regularly crave sweets, breads or pastries.

3. You get irritable, “hangry” or lightheaded if you miss a meal.

4. Caffeine is a must-have to get you through the day.

5. When you do eat, it makes you tired and want to lie down.

6. Losing weight is difficult.

7. You frequently feel weak, shaky, and/or jittery.

8. You feel like you’re often on an emotional rollercoaster.

9. You have to p*e a lot but you still feel thirsty.

10. You have blurry vision.

11. Your s*x drive is unusually low.

12. Your waist measurement is equal to or larger than your hip measurements.

13. You experience night sweats.

HOW TO GET HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR WITH SIMPLE SELF-CARE HACKS

Keeping your blood sugar balanced can be remarkably simple! Here’s what to do:

1: EAT SOMETHING (HEALTHY!) 3-4 TIMES PER DAY

Fifty percent of your plate at mealtimes should be made up of nutrient-dense vegetables to keep you satiated and supplied with the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function optimally.

2: LIMIT STRESS & RELAX DAILY

The system that regulates your blood sugar is intimately linked to the systems that respond to stress.

For example, when you are in a stressful situation (“fight or flight”), your blood sugar level rises so your body has enough energy to run away from the danger it perceives in your environment.

You can counteract this effect by integrating a relaxing activity into your routine daily. And limiting stress where possible.

3: SUPPLEMENT WITH SUPPORTIVE NUTRIENTS & BOTANICALS

Most people with blood sugar issues have no idea how much supplements could help support their blood sugar health.

Chromium, for example, may help you make more insulin receptors and is key for proper sugar metabolism and healthy insulin sensitivity.

Magnesium helps glucose enter cells. Alpha lipoic acid could help support a healthy blood sugar balance.

Examples of antioxidant-rich foods include EGCG in green tea, quercetin in apples, curcumin in turmeric and resveratrol in grapes.

That’s why we love GlucoResolve®, a daily multivitamin designed by scientists to specifically support healthy blood sugar levels.

In addition to foundational vitamins and minerals, GlucoResolve® contains taurine, lipoic acid, pomegranate seed extract, EGCG, NAC, berberine, acetyl-L-carnitine, forskolin, grapeseed and quercetin that help foster healthy weight management, optimize metabolism, and provide powerful antioxidants.

WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL YOUR HUNGER CUES, BALANCED BLOOD SUGAR CAN STAY OUT OF REACH

Diet culture may have blunted your ability to recognize the signs of hunger.

Hunger is a physical sensation caused by your body’s response when it senses you lack enough food.

When you’re stressed, busy, overly active, or have simply fallen into a habit of delaying meals when your body is ready for food…

…it may stop sending hunger cues, leading to low blood sugar as well as stronger cues that cause overeating. Plus, more potentially serious issues down the road.

Listen carefully to your body. It should be sending signals to eat 3-5 times per day. Does it need nutrients and fuel now?

Eat healthy food and snacks in a calm environment regularly during your day to prevent overeating later, and maintain more healthy blood sugar levels.
