A Radical Approach to Blood Sugar Management
If you know anything about our non-diet dietitian practice, it’s probably not surprising that our approach to blood sugar management doesn’t involve restriction or depriving yourself of all carbs. We believe you can pursue your health goals, including blood sugar management, while still enjoying food and without the guilt and shame.
Our diabetes specialist and clinical supervisor Heidi Karner recently led a webinar in collaboration with River Valley Co-Op designed centered on more peaceful blood sugar management.
This free class on blood sugar management is for you if:
You’re feeling lost and panicked that you’re going to do the wrong thing and it will have a negative impact on your health.
All of the different voices telling you what to do have left you confused and overwhelmed.
You’re living the sugar-free life (and it’s making you miserable).
You’re sick of the unsolicited advice from friends and family but you don’t know what to do.
Heidi shares her weight inclusive, anti diet approach to blood sugar management which includes strategies to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes while still savoring your satisfying favorites!
She also addresses the fear-mongering around blood sugar management. Whether you have diabetes, pre-diabetes or a strong family history, PCOS, or other endocrine disorders that affect blood sugar, it’s likely that you’ve been given a variety of conflicting, scary directives:
Eating sugar makes insulin resistance worse!
Eating foods with sugar will always spike your blood sugar!
Sugar-free desserts are better for managing glucose levels!
In this talk, Heidi busts some of these common myths spread by both experts and non-experts (looking at you, sugar-free aunt!).
At Happy Valley Nutrition, we believe that true wellness involves adding foods, meals and snacks rather than taking them away, and that’s no different when it comes to blood sugar management. If you’re curious to learn more about blood sugar management, insulin resistance, and our health at ever size approach to these topics, check out the recording!
