Stress Impact on Blood Sugar – A Whisper or a Shout
What we’re going to cover today:
- Stress can hijack blood sugar – stress can be a bully
- Chronic stress or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can really damage healthy blood sugar and insulin response
- What happens as stress, cortisol (stress hormone) and insulin levels improve over time
Action Steps:
- Notice today if you feel stressed at any time.
- Notice if you want to eat in response to stress.
- If “yes”, then do you want to eat carbs, starches, sweets, or something else?
- Please share in the private Facebook group what you notice today about how you usually respond to stress. We’re all human, and this is a common area of struggle.
