Migraines and blood sugar

I didn’t realize how unstable my blood sugar really was. Until it wasn’t. I’ve had a long history of chronic migraines (since 15 years old) and have struggled with Lyme disease. I have done so many protocols and seen so many practitioners. Something that I think was missing all along though was keeping my blood sugar stable.

You don’t have to be diabetic or have a glucose test come back wonky to feel the effects of fluctuating blood sugar. I can tell if I eat pancakes for breakfast and no protein, an hour later I’m spacey and don’t feel great. That’s my blood sugar fluctuating and not serving my body well!

My migraines improved so significantly when I started balancing my blood sugar that I had this a-ha moment. It truly is in the foundations that our health presides. You build from there. You can throw protocol after protocol at an issue but if you don’t have your metabolism working properly, so many things break down.

As women and teen girls, our bodies go through a lot of changes that can impact our metabolic health. However, with the right knowledge and tools, we can take control of our health and feel our best.

Here are some tips to improve your metabolic health:

1. Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water can help improve digestion, energy levels, and metabolism.

2. Prioritize sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is essential for a healthy metabolism. Aim for 7-9 hours per night.

3. Eat a balanced diet: Incorporate whole foods such as lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid processed and sugary foods.

4. Move your body: Exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity and boost metabolism. Find activities you enjoy and make them a part of your routine.

5. Manage stress: High levels of stress can negatively impact metabolic health. Practice stress-reducing activities such as meditation or yoga.

I am so relived to have figured this out and now offer a personalized nutrition plan to others. It is life changing.
