Beyond Hunger: The Hidden Connection Between Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health

So , how do you stabilize your blood sugar ? By optimizing it from GLP-1 function . You're supporting long-term metabolic health . You do this by finding simple meals , ways that can keep you at a blood sugar steady that will help prevent you from that midday crash . How do you do that ? By blood sugar , glp one , metabolisms , because they're connected .

You do this because , um , you structure meals in a functional nutritional way , and I'll give you some examples . So , first , the connection between blood sugar and um are in our bodies , right . So let's think of it like how do we regulate the blood sugar , the GLP one and the metabolism ?

Oh , I've spoken numerous times on this and we're trying to get you back to balance , not too high , not too low , not complete survival , but to get you where you're not getting cravings , not having metabolic um or having , you know , not amount , crazy amounts of fat storage . You're trying to keep yourself at a stable level .

You're trying to avoid those blood sugar spikes . You're trying to get yourself from not having a flood of insulin within the body . You're because what that does that gives you fat storage and

energy crashes and you get so many cravings . When your blood sugar does crash , it leads to irritability , you become hangry , you're overeating at your next meal . If you're fatigued , you have brain fog list goes on from there .

Then that could lead into a cascade of chronic imbalances within the body , like brain salemia , which means then you get problems with you're feeling hungry too soon . The hormones of gall and leptin are not satisfying you . You're getting hungry , you have poor blood sugar , you have slow and fast metabolism .

Then this can lead to chronic illnesses that cause more insulin within the body , inflammation , and then the list goes on . How do you balance like this ? How do you do it ? What's going on ? Whole foods , nutrient dense foods .

Instead of worry about what to take out , think about what you're putting in protein , fiber rich veggies , healthy fats , ultra processed foods . Get rid of them . You know . If it's the crap , don't eat it . You know I'm sick to more of a meal timing than I've spoken with before .

Try to eat between about three to five hours , or one good quality meal and two smaller , hydrate , hydrate , hydrate and move the body and then , of course , sleep . So those are , no matter what , will always be factors in life . Now , key components in the blood sugar balance are your macros . So understanding protein , fiber , fats and balancing your sugar .

So it's protein , carbs , fats . But think about , instead of just carbs , think about nice quality , dense fiber , healthy fat and protein . You always , if you can do a good balance there , you're going to have balanced

sugar . How do we do this ? We stimulate with protein . It stimulates the secretion of JLP1 from the L cells in the small intestines . This helps preserve muscle . By giving you more protein . It reduces your hunger and stabilizes your insulin levels . Um reduces your hunger and stabilizes your insulin levels .

The healthy fats slows the digestion , lowers the glucose spikes , improves your hunger . That you have . When you absorb um fat soluble vitamins like vitamin a , e and k . A vitamin a and d , e and k , your body is more likely to feel full and feel good . Fiber , non-starchy vegetables those like that are broccoli , cruciferous vegetables , greens .

That slows down the breakdown of the carbohydrates . That helps you with your gut bacteria . It helps boost more thing , your GLP-1 . Naturally it helps regulate your bowel movements . The fiber moves things along .

It supports detox , because detox is not only removing the waste within the GI system by excreting it through stool , but it is also through cleaning out the liver .

So the detox is a combination of trying to get you hydrated and clear out all that excess and then clear out the fiber cups you know , roto-rooter that stuff in the colon and in the actually the entire GI system by eating that . So if you're going to go for complex carbs , please go for the complex , not the simple carbs .

And that gives you more of a sustained energy , like sweet potatoes , quinoa , legumes , oats , things of that nature . And how do you do it ? The combination is always protein , veggie , fat . That's how you would eat . You could actually start with the veggie combo , the protein and then the fat or um .

Think of it like you're going to bring in um sustainable energy . You always want to have that in your body . There is it , it absorbs it . So the fiber like

will break up , let's say it goes protein . Then you're going to have your quality veggie , then you're going to have the fiber and the fat and then that will help break down any excess glucose spikes and that's where you're going to become metabolically healthy . So there is a way to eat , there is timing and it is what you put into your body .

Now let's , I will put in examples of sample breakfast , lunch and dinners . I promise , for example , eggs , spinach and avocado . There you've got your protein , you've got your greens and you've got your fat . There you go . There's no spike . I have that almost every single day . If I'm not having an egg , it's probably going to be yogurt .

Next snack Greek yogurt , chia seeds , blueberries , protein , fiber , antioxidants the chia seeds helps with any sort of sugar spike and the antioxidants blueberries . Dinner , salmon , kale , cauliflower . You've got your omegas , you've got the protein .

You've got your GLP-1 cruciferous vegetables to help boost your GLP and you got your cauliflower , which is fibrous and also nutritious Chicken . So it's like keep it simple . And if you start putting a bunch of junk in there and you wonder why it's not good or it may not taste as good , but you can season things .

I mean , you can still use cheese , you can still use things . You just have to modify it . You know it . You cannot think that , um , having the fried food is is going to get you healthy . You put the crap in , you're going to feel like crap . You

put the good stuff in . You're going to feel really good .

Tips for meal prep I usually have proteins done earlier in the week , then I have like a batch of veggies done and then I'll have some starches , and sometimes I'll just put it together and then I'll season it differently and I'll change it up like that , so it's like I'll have that in the fridge and I'll make it quicker . Sometimes I'll buy a rotisserie .

Sometimes I'll have it pre-steamed just so that I can feel like it's been done . I'll even buy pre-steamed bags of veggies and things if I'm really trying to get quick meals on the go . If you really want to get yourself motivated , you know , give yourself a challenge .

Take pictures , look at what your food is that you're having every day , and does it meet that criteria that I'm stating ? Is it in that meal prep , protein , veggie , or do you notice you're getting like a big old salty burger with French fries and who knows what ?

If you can't take a picture of it and you're feeling a little embarrassed , that should give you an idea . Maybe there's . You know there's room for improvement . It's okay to eat certain foods .

Just become aware of where you are and how you can balance it out Like , for example , if you're going to have like a slice of pizza that next day , I want you to be modifying about where your , where your protein intake is and where even that next meal it's . It's okay to have cheat moments . It's okay to you know , eat , you know .

I want you to feel comfortable in your body and where you're at , but understand , you know where you need to be the most metabolically healthy . That's our goal . That's what we're trying to do for , or at least to

let you be knowledgeable in this course to understand them . I hope this helps on this and I'll give you a little bit more takeaways and snack ideas in the extra action plans . Talk with you soon .
