Cravings are NOT your fault…

It's true!

When our blood sugar drops, it activates the craving center in our brain and we find ourselves searching for a quick fix.   Or as my mom likes to say, “We have a yen for something."   During these times, we often reach for  something that gives us immediate energy like an Aunt Annie's Pretzel, Mrs. Field's Cookie, Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha, or holiday cookies that are…everywhere! 

I found myself in this exact situation the other day and I am health coach! 

I was on the go all day; working, making hostess gifts, and Christmas shopping.  Is it really the happiest time of the year???

I wasn't prepared for my long day and I found myself in a situation where I needed fuel ASAP! The fuel I craved-coffee cake, chips and salsa (my all time favorite), and an afternoon latte. Sound familiar?

But I knew giving into those cravings would lead to a roller coaster of blood sugar highs and lows.  Ultimately leaving me tired, grumpy and anxious!

So I implemented a few blood sugar hacks and quickly changed the trajectory of my day. 

Science shows that balancing blood sugar levels can help with`:

Less hunger

Less weight gain

Fewer cravings

Better energy and sleep

Better immune system function

Fewer menopause symptoms

Reduced migraines

Better brain function

Slower aging and fewer wrinkles (yes please) 

Better mental health

And reduced risk of disease
