Natural Ways to Balance Blood Sugar

It is just absolutely crazy how there isn’t more information out there on the varieties of blood sugar problems there are. There isn’t *just* diabetes.

People have blood sugar issues for a lot of different reasons like:

• Adrenal Fatigue
• Liver Dysfunction
• Over-consumption of sugar (that’s an obvious one!)
• Nutritional Deficiencies
• Underlying infections (like EBV, Lyme, parasites- they all create chaos!)
• Heavy metal toxicity (because metals can take the place of minerals and interfere with their functions)

So what are some ways to help regulate blood sugar?

• Aloe Vera– great for balancing blood sugar and it can help prevent diabetes
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Check for mineral deficiencies and heavy metals. Magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, calcium, and a few other nutrients play a role in blood sugar regulation.
• Support your liver- the liver helps to reduce blood sugar swings by 65%!
• Support your adrenals- The basics will be whole food vitamin C, unrefined sea salts, and either adaptogens or glandulars. But it depends on what stage of adrenal fatigue you are in.
• Berberine, Bitter Melon, and Gymnema are all AMAZING helpers for blood sugar regulation. The latter 2 are even great for getting rid of excessive carb/sugar cravings.
• Nettle infusions can help immensely with taking some stress off of the liver and adrenals, and provides many minerals needed for blood sugar regulation
• Bitter herbs play a VERY big role in overall digestion, including the proper utilization of sugar
• Eliminate process foods from your diet, especially refined sugars
• Make sure you get enough high quality fats and protein
