Balancing blood sugar is a delicate hormonal dance.
The hormonal system is your own personal team of first responders, responding to all the elements that make up life, allowing you to stay in balance.
Your blood nourishes every cell, feeds the brain, and has to respond to everything we eat. It’s influenced by and responds to all of our stressors, as well as the quality and quantity of our dietary intake.
Blood sugar balance, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes is also a health epidemic. According to a report released in July 2017, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
In this class, we will break down blood sugar balance using the principles and perspective of:
- Whole food nutrition
- Ayurveda
- Herbal allies
- Self care
- Lifestyle habits
Understanding the holistic, whole body perspective is key to finding balance, which leads to balancing hormones, cultivating right-size body weight, improving cognitive function, preventing cancer, increased energy, and better sleep, to name a few. What you eat, your portion size, and the timing of your meals, all play into the intricate dance of hormonal balance and how all the hormones play into supporting the whole system to regulate blood sugar.
Eating for hormonal balance is a different approach that gets better results. It’s not about counting calories, it’s about honoring your metabolic hormones on a daily basis to allow your body to find it’s natural rhythm.
