Hi  – in the blood sugar balance course, I share different strategies for the different stages of insulin resistance. So in an effort to be more specific and point you to the videos that will help you out the most, would you mind sharing your fasting glucose, fasting insulin and HbA1C results if you have them (along with reference ranges please)?

In the meantime, I encourage you to watch the following short videos if you don’t have the time to go through the full course:
• If you’re not sure what stage of insulin resistance you’re at, here’s a summary video sharing different symptoms (energy, appetite, sleep) at various times of the day to help you narrow it down, along with a downloadable handout for easier reference.
• What is the best diet? (this takes a closer look at the carb debate)
• Carb Hacks to Reduce Glucose Spikes (simple action steps but powerful)
• Dietary Guidelines That Work For Many (putting it all together)

Please watch the above and let me know if you have further questions so we can continue guiding you.

 if you have the time to go through the whole course, please do so. Having a thorough understanding of the organs at play and what affects blood sugar regulation will really help you tackle and reverse your insulin resistance.

If you’re going to measure HbA1C, make sure you also measure fasting glucose and fasting insulin or c-peptide along with it to know what stage of insulin resistance you’re in.

Here’s the video on testing to better understand the markers to be asking your doctor for.

 YES!! So proud of you for making that connection with berberine. 

I’m so glad to hear the course was helpful. I look forward to hearing your progress in reversing insulin resistance!

Digestive enzymes are generally safe to take but they can make the pancreas produce less if it doesn’t sense the need to make it on its own. To bypass this, I generally recommend my clients take enzymes mid-meal and not before a meal so that their body has a chance to produce digestive enzymes on its own and then complement it with supplemental enzymes. Makes sense?

Also note that digestive enzymes are generally a bandaid solution. Have you tried to investigate what may be causing your poor digestion? Of course fixing blood sugar dysregulation will help since the pancreas is needed in both digestion & blood sugar management. But have you considered low stomach acid? Poor eating hygiene?

The Gut Health Masterclass is another course I would strongly encourage you to watch. It is much longer though so here are a few videos I would recommend starting with:
• Summary of how digestion works
• Eating hygiene (simple but powerful)
• Causes of low stomach acid
• Dysfunction: pancreas
• Digestive enzyme support

Hope these help!
