Blood sugar, also known as glucose, refers to the main sugar that is found in our blood. We get this sugar from the food we eat, and it is necessary for our bodies to function properly. However, our blood sugar levels are like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It needs to be just right. If it is too low or too high, there can be problems.

Glucose is a sugar and it is the main source of energy for every single cell in you body!

As humans, our primary source of glucose is the foods we eat. Once we eat and digest food, glucose is carried to every cell in the human body via the bloodstream. This is why an excellent way to monitor what your glucose concentration is, is to measure your blood glucose level or blood sugar.

Prolonged high blood sugar levels may lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is when insulin is present within the body, but it is not working as it should.

Now you may be wondering, why should I care about insulin resistance, put simply, it can disrupt every aspect of your life.

If these symptoms describe you, know that you are not alone. I went through weight gain, tons of brain fog, and irritability and had symptoms of hypoglycemia (sweaty and nauseous between meals).

Absolutely!!!

There is a simple blood test that can tell a provider if you have insulin resistance, this is a fasting insulin level. We carry a comprehensive panel that includes this fasting insulin level along with other crucial functional medicine labs and is great for anyone looking for the root cause of why they are struggling with weight or to reach their health goals.

Regardless of whether you have a fasting insulin level or not, an AMAZING way to learn how to NATURALLY lower blood sugar levels and reverse insulin resistance is through the use of a CGM.

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can also referred to as a continuous blood-sugar monitor. This is a device that automatically measures your blood sugar levels 24 hours a day. A transmitter sends results directly to your cell phone.

By monitoring your blood sugar, you get a picture of where you currently are. With a CGM program, you can also easily track your current habits and how they impact your blood sugar levels. Over this 3-month long program, you will learn to improve your metabolic health, balance your hormones, and make weight loss possible.

Additionally, if you want to use a CGM to manage weight, not only do you get all of the benefits listed above, but you also get all the other benefits of weight loss!
