Ep 12: The Four Horsemen of the Adrenal Apocalypse – Part 2: The Blood Sugar Bandit

Blood sugar instability doesn't just affect your energy — it can directly impact cortisol, digestion, metabolism, cravings, sleep, and hormone balance. In this episode of Hormone Hackers, Dr. Annette breaks down the hidden connection between chronic stress, adrenal dysfunction, blood sugar crashes, digestion, and the modern GLP-1 conversation. You'll learn: • Why cortisol rises when blood sugar drops • How stress disrupts digestion and metabolism • Why low blood sugar can be just as problematic as high blood sugar • The real reason you crave sugar, caffeine, and quick carbs when stressed or exhausted • How under-eating and chronic dieting can slow metabolism • Simple ways to support digestion and blood sugar naturally through food, fiber, movement, and lifestyle habits • How adaptogenic herbs may help support adrenal resilience and stress recovery Dr. Annette also explains why true metabolic healing is about more than calories — it's about helping the body feel safe, stable, and supported again.
