The 3 "F's" of Balanced Blood Sugar
06/24/22 • 5 min
One of the easiest, most effective ways to manage chronic stress is by balancing your blood sugar. Having "rollercoaster blood sugar levels" that spike and crash over the course of the day (and night) is a huge physical stress trigger, exponentially increasing the output of cortisol, your body's long-term stress hormone. AND, wonky blood sugar levels lead to other problematic symptoms and disease processes like insomnia, chronic inflammation, type 2 Diabetes, and weight gain. And by weight gain, I mean an increase in body fat - which is a stressor in itself!

Is the “Cortisol Steal” Real? - How Stress Messes Up Your Hormones
The number one cause of hormone imbalance is STRESS. Not age, not genetics, not a bad roll of the dice. Stress - mental, emotional, and physical - can dramatically shift your hormone levels independent of all those other factors. And when I say “hormone levels,” I mean all of them. Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone are only the tip of the iceberg, though they are definitely at the mercy of stress and can create quite the mess if not balanced.
