How to Build a Blood Sugar Balancing Plate

from This EndoLife · host Jessica Duffin

Okay so the past few weeks I’ve been talking about blood sugar and how to identify if blood sugar dysregulation is an issue for you.This week, I want to give you the number one strategy for beginning to stabilise your blood sugar. Now, I have talked about this before in the context of other episodes, I’ve done some lives on the topic and put them out as episodes, and I’ve linked to articles I’ve written, but I don’t think I have ever done a solo episode on this key strategy, so I decided, so you didn’t have to hunt for it, just to do an episode dedicated to this one tool.Now, of course there are other factors here, like how much sugar you’re eating between meals, but this strategy is key to building an approach to your daily meals that keeps blood sugar levels stable consistently, and as a result, that tends to reduce cravings and improve symptoms, which can allow you to start taking on bigger changes, like reducing sugary snacks for example.Show notesFibrehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18287346/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00394-009-0026-xhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9811965/ Proteinhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2386677/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S104345262200033X Final quarterhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5336455/Healthy fatshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16537685/Starchy vs. Non-starchy veghttps://www.healthline.com/nutrition/starchy-vs-non-starchy-vegetables Need more help or want to learn how to work with me?Free resources:This podcast! Endometriosis Net ColumnEndometriosis News ColumnNewsletterInstagramWays to work with me:This EndoLife, It Starts with Breakfast digital cookbookMasterclasses in endo nutrition, surgery prep and recovery and pain reliefLive and Thrive with Endo: The Foundations DIY courseOne to one coaching info and applicationThis episode is sponsored by BeYou Cramp Relief Patches.
