Blood sugar, or glucose, is your body's primary energy source, derived mainly from carbohydrates in our diet. When you eat, your digestive system breaks down food into glucose, which then enters your bloodstream. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, helps transport this glucose into your cells for energy or storage.
How does this impact weight, mood and hormones?
Our current health epidemic and the rise of chronic diseases can be tied to rapid changes in our diet & cultural practices, hyper-sanitization, increasing rates of C-section births, immunizations and antibiotic excesses, decreases in plant food intake, carbohydrate-heavy diets, and the increase in GMO foods.
All these factors have created a recipe for microbiota disruption, dysbiosis (too much bad bacteria), and the loss of ecological diversity.
