Ready for a crash course in exactly what happens at the cellular level when you eat too much sugar at once?

Healthy blood sugar regulation is essential for energy, mood, brain function, heart health, immunity, and whole-body wellness.

So, which of these blood sugar myths have you heard (or believed)?

Insulin resistance means that the cells in the body have become less responsive to insulin, which leads to elevated insulin and blood sugar levels. This leads to more belly fat, hunger/cravings, and fatigue - and if left unchecked, can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even many cancers. That’s why it’s critical to take insulin resistance seriously.

Belly fat, sugar/carb cravings, and low energy - these are three symptoms I commonly hear from patients in my Integrative & Functional Medicine practice - and all three are often related to a common root cause: Blood sugar dysregulation.
