The Blood Sugar Connection and Why It's Important for Endo with Gargi Parikh


Listen Later

Okay so this episode is an exciting one, well at least for me, being a blood sugar and gut health geek.

Today I am talking to Gargi Parikh. Gargi is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Educator, herbalist, and yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience in nutrition. She specializes in diabetes and gut health and takes a functional root cause approach to health helping clients health from the inside out. 

In today’s episode Gargi and I are talking about the profound effect gut health can have on blood sugar, and vice versa! So many of my clients struggle with gut dysbiosis, SIBO, gut inflammation and blood sugar imbalances, and so I think tying the two together is going to be really helpful for many of you.

 We discuss:

  • The impact of blood sugar dysregulation on inflammation and hormones.
  • The connection between gut health and blood sugar and why gut health is important to balancing blood sugar.
  • Whether SIBO in particular can have an effect on blood sugar and why.
  • How to begin supporting our blood sugar through gut health.
  • And finally, simple strategies for gut healing and supporting blood sugar.
