Blood sugar imbalances impact not just nutrition but high performance, affecting focus, mood, cravings, hormones, and resilience under pressure. We explore how glucose instability might be the hidden culprit behind your energy crashes, brain fog, and disrupted sleep patterns.
• Blood sugar rises and crashes affect both body and brain, causing mental drain and mood swings
• Waking between 1-3 AM often signals blood sugar dipping too low, triggering cortisol spikes
• The Stress Mood Metabolism Lab offers insights through simple home testing of hemoglobin A1c, cortisol, thyroid function, and vitamin D
• Continuous glucose monitors from Theia Health or Stelo help track personal responses to food, stress, and sleep
• Every meal should include protein, fiber and healthy fat to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar
• Just 10 minutes of walking after meals can reduce glucose spikes by up to 30%
• Morning sunlight combined with protein resets cortisol rhythm and stabilizes blood glucose
• High-quality coffee can be beneficial when used wisely - timing and method matter
