On Today's Episode:

So many people I talk to tell me that as long as they eat 8-10 times a day, they don't have crashes... or that as long as they don't eat any carbs, they don't have any blood sugar crashes... but neither of these things are sustainable or lead to long-term healing. In fact, both of these "blood sugar management strategies" actually lead to worsened blood sugar (as well as worsened metabolic hormones like insulin, leptin and cortisol).

In this episode I talk about the steps you need to take to actually start HEALING instead of just managing or "hacking" your blood sugar!

In this episode, I’ll share my personal journey with metabolic hypoglycemia (MH), a condition where you experience symptoms of low blood sugar despite having normal or even elevated levels on lab work. I’ll also talk about my clients’ similar struggles and how they learned to identify this often-missed issue. We'll dive into how you can know if you have MH by looking at specific numbers, lab work, and early warning signs like fatigue, irritability, and shakiness. As MH progresses, symptoms can become more severe, affecting energy, mood, and even cognitive function. I’ll explain what it feels like as it worsens and what areas of health are impacted. Finally, we'll cover the main causes and drivers behind metabolic hypoglycemia, helping you better understand and address this condition.

TODAY'S GUEST
Dr. Valerie Giangrande is an optometrist who has been in private practice in New York for over 20 years. In 2012, her son, then only 4 years old, began experiencing health issues. Frustrated by the lack of help from conventional medicine, Dr. Giangrande started exploring holistic approaches to help her son. In 2016, she became certified as an Integrative Holistic Nutrition Health Coach.
By 2018, while searching for answers to her own health issues, she was introduced to Quantum Biology and the work of Dr. Jack Kruse by a functional medicine practitioner. Realizing the importance of these foundational principles to overall health, including eye health, she incorporated them into her life and began educating her patients about them. Recently, Dr. Giangrande became certified as an Applied Quantum Biology Practitioner and now works with individuals seeking help with Quantum or Circadian Rhythm strategies related to ocular health and overall wellness.

"Circadian Rhythm" seem to be everywhere lately. Personally, I didn't have a clear understanding of what a Circadian Rhythm was until a few months ago. Because it's quite complicated, I always try to think of simple ways to explain what it is so non-scientific minds, like mine, can get a deep understanding. In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple but powerful analogy to help you understand in what the circadian rhythm actually is and why it is so crucial for optimal health!
