Symptoms of Dysregulated Blood Sugar and Why It Matters for Endometriosis

If you follow my work or have coached with me, you’ll know that blood sugar balance is an absolute staple to my approach for managing endo. Whilst this isn’t an episode into how blood sugar affects endo, to give you a short explanation - blood sugar imbalances can have a significant negative impact on hormones, gut inflammation and the microbiome, and raise both oxidative stress levels and prostaglandin levels, both are key to endo growth and pain. I’ll link to some episodes and articles I’ve done on the topic, but maybe in the future I’ll do an updated episode covering these areas.Show notesHelpful resourceshttps://endometriosis.net/living/diet-sugarhttps://endometriosis.net/living/how-to-balance-your-blood-sugar-levels-to-reduce-endo-symptomshttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/endo-blood-sugar-gargi-parikhhttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/glycemic-index-load-endohttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/endo-and-pms-the-key-to-reducing-mood-swings-anxiety-and-low-moods-in-your-luteal-phasehttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/non-food-blood-sugar-managementhttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/reduce-fatigue-endometriosis-symptoms-and-oestrogen-dominancehttps://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/endo-carbs-blood-sugarEndo and blood sugar researchhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10967113/https://eurjmedres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40001-023-01280-7https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8609862/https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-35236-yhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378512223004115https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37673102/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.
