Understanding Blood Sugar

The red, hot vitality pumping through our veins holds tremendous power over how we feel each day.

While we all know blood is our life force, few of us understand how our circulatory systems have a direct impact on whether or not we feel motivated and capable to live out our best lives and seize the day with just as much energy as when we were kids.

Even though many of us have imbalances in our blood sugar or know someone suffering from diabetes or high cholesterol,

there are solutions to reversing its negative effects.

 

We take a highly complex system and break it down into six 30-minute videos,

so you can clearly understand the purpose of blood sugar, the effects of high and low blood sugar levels in the body,

and what to do to address it. Understanding Blood Sugar gives you the fuel to recognize symptoms of imbalanced blood sugar levels

and ideas for making positive changes in daily habits that will influence the trajectory of your health.

Be your best health advocate and empower your loved ones to do the same. 

 

In this online course you will learn:

  • What is blood sugar and why it is needed
  • How blood sugar is used in the body
  • Understand the glycemic index and how to use it to make better choices
  • Why blood sugar imbalances can have significant effects on our health and contribute to chronic diseases
  • Symptoms of blood sugar imbalance and insulin resistance
  • Plan meals around blood sugar metabolism
  • How to maintain a healthy foundation of health through daily decisions
  • You will have access to:
  • All six online video classes to watch at your own pace
  • Unexpired viewing
  • A community of like-minded health advocates
  • Access to lead instructor, herbal ambassadors, and online community forum 
  • Live stream Q&A

  • Are dealing with blood sugar-related health issues, including;
  • Diabetes, heart disease, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory issues, or a compromised immune system
