If you’re struggling with post-holiday fatigue, weight gain, belly fat, and bothersome sugar cravings, it’s time to reset your metabolic engine!
Join me for my 10-day Blood Sugar Reset 2024 with a kick-off workshop on Saturday, January 13th @ 12 pm
Show your body the respect it deserves and it will reward you with greater focus, stability, and metabolic health.
Because it’s not about willpower- it’s about biochemistry.
BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE IS ABOUT MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS!
What do excess belly fat, blood sugar imbalance and serious diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes have in common? Poor regulation of insulin, a hormone secreted by your pancreas, is the critical connection.
Insulin gets secreted in response to the elevation of your blood sugar. Insulin is necessary to get the sugar out of your blood and into the cells where it can be converted to energy. Without insulin, your blood sugar would skyrocket and you’d become diabetic.
But insulin may also be released in response to stress.
The relationship between cortisol (a stress hormone secreted by your adrenal glands) and insulin is circular. Increased cortisol raises blood sugar which causes an increase in insulin which in turn causes cortisol to go up.
When we are chronically stressed, our cortisol levels remain high which keeps our insulin levels high. This interrupts the normal function of insulin in response to the food we eat.
Under normal circumstances, after a meal, the increased glucose in your blood causes your pancreas to secrete insulin.
The more glucose in your food, the more insulin is produced.
Insulin binds to the cell membranes and triggers the cell membrane to open up and let the glucose in.
Insulin allows glucose, amino acids, fats, magnesium, and other nutrients into the cell where they can be used in the mitochondria to produce energy. When this is in balance we feel centered energetic, focused, and lean.
It’s when our blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol are out of balance we experience issues.
When you eat foods high in carbohydrates or eat your meals too close together (ie. snacking) it stimulates a rapid rise in glucose and in response, insulin.
When insulin is chronically high, you are in a constant state of inhibited fat-burning, low growth hormone, and lower metabolic rate. The result is belly fat which is very hard to lose.
Excess insulin can also cause your blood sugar to get too low, leading to brain fog, irritability, and ravenous cravings due to blood sugar instability.
Chronically high blood sugar and insulin levels lead to insulin resistance. This is when the insulin receptors on your cells tire of the constant insulin stimulation and shut down.
Less insulin in the cell and more insulin in the bloodstream is a recipe for weight gain, diabetes, and a host of other diseases.
when your cells become insulin resistant three things happen
Insulin can’t keep up with the demand and your blood sugar starts to rise, leading to diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
Insulin triggers fat storage around the middle so your belly grows steadily.
Unbalanced blood sugar is stressful to your body causing increased levels of cortisol and insulin, sugar cravings, and unstable.
The first thing to address is your sugar consumption. This may sound simple but it’s a little harder to kick the habit than you might imagine.
That’s because sugar is hidden in all kinds of foods marketed to you as “healthy.” Processed foods, condiments, sauces, and fruit juices are often packed with excess sugar.
So the first step is educating yourself about what you’re eating and then taking the steps to eliminate them for a few days to help reset your blood sugar and metabolic hormones.
The good news is you can do this in a relatively short time. You can impact your blood sugar and hormone balance in as little as five to ten days!
You have the power to decrease belly fat, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and memory loss.
In this program you’ll learn:
That hunger, cravings, constant snacking, emotional eating, and binge eating are all connected to a metabolic imbalance that can be reversed… so you can experience emotional stability and freedom from food.
How to eat to melt away belly fat without feeling deprived or living on bacon grease.
How to lower your blood sugar even if you are a pre-diabetic or diabetic.
How to improve your blood chemistry and energy levels by balancing the queen of all hormones, insulin.
Learn what to eat to balance your blood sugar and reset your insulin receptors so you can improve your memory, energy, and focus.
