How fixing my blood sugar changed my life

I’ve got 99 problems but fixing my blood sugar solved like 88 of them.

Funny, right? Well, I'm serious.

Where do I even begin? Maybe with a list of things that improved for me when I fixed my blood sugar.

  • IBS improved and SIBO did not come back after treatment

  • Skin cleared up - no more bad skin, not even around my period

  • PMS symptoms got better and most disappeared completely (bye sore boobs!)

  • Sleep improved which, in turn, helped me stabilize my blood sugar (it's a bi-directional relationship)

  • Energy levels improved (less blood sugar roller coasters means more stable energy)

  • Brain fog cleared up

  • Productivity increased (more stable energy and less brain fog = better productivity)

  • Gym output improved (+ quicker recovery)

  • Gum inflammation disappeared

  • Rhinitis and allergies improved

  • And a surprising one: eyesight got better (I had to change my glasses and contacts!)

    Most importantly though, I'm learning from the mistakes my parents' generation made and reducing my risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you only do one thing for your health today, improve your blood sugar and maintain healthy blood sugar. Your body will thank you.
