Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring Update! We have learned so much over the past two weeks!

🩸How you think you eat isn’t always reality! I personally realized my macros were off from what “optimal” eating would indicate! This can affect your blood sugar levels.

🩸 The order you eat your food in matters! Eat protein and fat first to slow down the absorption of sugar.

🩸High highs and low lows has an impact on your adrenals! I was spiking after a meal and crashing about two hours later. This is when I would typically grab a snack and “spike my levels again”. Keeping my blood sugar levels from spiking kept me from feeling like I needed to grab a snack, take a nap, or have another cup of coffee!

Insulin and glucose levels have their impact on your entire body. The nicer you treat your body now, the better it will treat you when we are much older!

True structural short leg vs. functional short leg 🦵🏼

What does it mean when someone says, “I have a short leg.”

A structural short leg is when the actual bones are physically shorter on one side vs the other side. This can happen either during growth, can be caused by a fracture in a growth plate or from a surgery.

A functional short leg is when the musculature in the hip is not firing the way it should and it causes the femur to not move correctly in the hip joint. This can be caused by an injury or inactivity.

Functional short hips are more common. Exercise, rehab, and soft tissue work help to allow the muscles to work the way they should to “drop the hip”.

A structural short hip requires either a heel lift or possible surgery depending on the severity of the leg discrepancy.

What is tech neck?! 🩻

Technically, it is pain and stiffness that results from poor posture when we use phones and computers.

BUT… what happens when we allow that pain and poor posture to go on for years?!

Let’s just say a lot of early onset of degeneration can occur! 🤮

The curve in our neck should resemble the curve in our low backs. It’s a “lordotic” curve. This means that it curves back. That allows the weight from our head to be evenly distributed throughout the skeletal system of the neck and mid back.

If we allow our heads to move forward to look at our cell phones or computers the muscles and joints can only withstand the stress for so long. Our bodies are great at adapting to the stress we put them under! New cells will lay down and create osteophytes (aka bone spurs), some muscle will hypertrophy, and others will atrophy. Ligaments along the spine can weaken and allow for the vertebrae to shift, which leads to instability! 😱 We don’t like that!

Listen to your mother, and don’t slouch! 🫶🏻 Good posture is worth the work!
