Top 12 Foods to Balance Your Blood Sugar

Dr. Jockers
About this episode

"If you’re looking for a way to boost focus, memory, and mental clarity, mushrooms might be exactly what you’re looking for. Certain mushrooms contain a medicinal quality called beta-glucans. A 2012 review on products containing beta-glucans found they can help to naturally increase energy, reduce confusion, boost mood, improve recall and memory, and increase vigor.

My go-to mushroom blend is Paleovalley NeuroEffect. It contains a potent blend of 8 whole mushrooms, without any grains or fillers like most products, and happily touts a beta-glucan level of at least 26%. PLUS, they’ve included organic coffee fruit extract that gives you the brain-boosting effects of coffee – without the jitters or crashes you get with caffeine. Go to paleovallely.com/jockers and grab your NeuroEffect today for 15% off.

 

BIG NEWS! Dr. Jockers just released his BRAND NEW book on Fasting! It’s called — Fasting Transformation: A Functional Guide To Burn Fat, Heal Your Body And Transform Your Life With Intermittent And Extended Fasting.

AND… we’re so excited that it’s now available on AMAZON! We’d love your support (and if you like the book) I know he’d appreciate a review too! Claim Your Copy Here 

 

Food can be the best and the worst thing you can put inside your body, that is, if you’re not being mindful. When your blood sugar level is unstable, your mood and disposition are too. You feel anxious and irritable while experiencing unnecessary cravings, poor sleep, and sluggishness. To some extent, it can even lead to developing chronic illnesses, like diabetes. In this episode, Dr. Jockers cites the best kinds of foods you should keep as staples in your pantry and how they’re beneficial in keeping your blood sugar level balanced.

 

“Food can act as a medicine to be able to put your blood sugar in a good balance.”

-Dr. David Jockers
