As Halloween approaches, it’s a good time to talk about how sugar affects the brain—especially for those with ADHD, anxiety, or fatigue.
At Vibe Chiropractic, we look at health through a unique lens of the nervous system and energy balance. When your brain and body are communicating clearly, everything functions better. But sugar disrupts that communication more than most people realize. And it leads us right into the sick season. It's not the flu season it's the sugar season.
Simple sugars cause a rapid surge in blood glucose, creating quick energy followed by overstimulation, irritability, and emotional swings.
After the initial rush, blood sugar levels drop sharply. This leaves the brain running on empty—showing up as brain fog, mood changes, and difficulty focusing.
Regular sugar intake fuels inflammation throughout the body, including the brain. This neuroinflammation can make existing symptoms and emotional regulation even harder to manage.
Vibe Chiropractic Tip:
Before reaching for the candy, fuel the body first. A snack that combines protein and healthy fats—such as almonds, eggs, nut butter, or cheese—can stabilize blood sugar and reduce the sharp rise and crash that often follows sugar intake.
When the brain and nervous system are supported with balanced nutrition, stable energy, and proper alignment, the whole-body functions more calmly and clearly. That’s what we call true wellness from within.
Let's make sure you limit the intake of sugar by giving it away, freezing it for later or simply donating it. We can also consider trading their candy for something else the kids like, that is not so detrimental to their health.
