I often get asked what the TOP thing is that people with thyroid issues can do to start feeling better…. My answer is always, “There are two! Go gluten-free and balance your blood sugar levels!”
Rewind 15 years when I was really deep in struggling with thyroid problems, I wasn’t aware that I had blood sugar issues when I was first diagnosed…. even though I would always say that I had a sweet tooth.
However, I would get “hangry” (hungry + angry) multiple times per day, as the high carbohydrate foods I had consumed were causing huge blood sugar swings. I always had a snack in my bag and ascribed to the idea that I should just eat small amounts all day long.
What I didn’t know was that these hangry feelings were actually blood sugar swings that were also weakening my adrenals and causing a spike in my thyroid antibodies.
Balancing blood sugar levels should be one of the top priorities for anyone with hypothyroid symptoms and who is hoping to overcome autoimmune thyroiditis… and, actually, adrenal fatigue as well.
In this episode, we’re digging into the topic of blood sugar and blood sugar balancing….we’ll talk about what it is, why it matters, and how it impacts our thyroid health.
Additionally, I’ll share some strategies that you can use to control blood sugar levels without using medications….. of course, I have a few simple shifts that you can do to start making an impact in this area today.
Glad you're here,
Sarah

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
