The afternoon slump
The hangry snack craving
Brain fog… That’s your blood sugar talking!
It starts with little things - reaching for snacks without thinking or bored eating when you're not even hungry, forgetting to hydrate, skipping the exercise… It doesn't feel like much in the moment, but over time, it adds up.
When blood sugar rises too quickly (like after a sugar snack), the body responds by releasing insulin from the pancreas. This can lead to a sharp drop, leaving you tired, foggy and craving more sugar.
Did you know your pancreas is regulated by nerve roots exiting from T5-T12 of your spine as well as your all important vagus nerve that starts way up at the brainstem! Getting your spine functioning well is key to overall health, and while you head along that journey, ask your chiropractor if a Myo-Inositol supplement could benefit too.
Myo-inositol supports insulin sensitivity and helps regulate appetite which in turn controls those cravings.
(Psst… Myo-inositol is also a gem for managing PCOS and Perimenopause symptoms!)
