so I had another question from someone

that wanted to know about what is

reactive hypoglycemia and what could be

done about it I’ve done other videos in

hypoglycemia but not necessarily

reactive hypoglycemia so let me just

explain what it is postprandial

hypoglycemia means after a meal and it

could happen immediately to four hours

later okay well you have this drop in

blood sugars after you consumed a high

carbohydrate meal you ended up with low

blood sugar

okay now to keep this really simple you

have blood sugars that are tightly

controlled

okay so there’s sugar in the blood after

the meal occurs and there’s two sets of

hormones involved one hormone insulin is

trying to reduce the sugar okay and then

there’s other hormones that are

releasing stored sugar that are putting

the sugar back into the blood to ensure

that the blood sugars don’t go too low

okay so we don’t want sugars that are

too high and we don’t want sugar that’s

too low because some of the symptoms if

there’s too low would be tired brain fog

dizzy craving sweets blurred vision

irritable and if it goes even to low you

can actually be in a coma so the body is

trying to stabilize that sugar in

hypoglycemia you either have an

overreaction of high amounts of insulin

that’s pushing the blood sugars down

with too much force and or not enough

adrenal support to mobilize the sugar in

to raise it so it’s low cortisol okay

from the adrenals let’s say your dreams

are burnt down or that week and you’re

these counter hormones are not working

it could be also a hormone in your liver

called IGF insulin like growth factor

and let’s say there’s a problem with the

liver and you don’t have that affect so

it could be their adrenal or liver or

there’s another counter hormone in the

pancreas called glucagon which does the

opposite of insulin it mobilizes fuel

and it helps to raise the blood sugars

so it can either be a problem with one

of these right here in another situation

is that the medical profession lot of

times doesn’t really acknowledge

that this exists because sometimes when

they do testing everything comes out

normal

so there’s actual levels of hypoglycemia

and you can’t just test a fasting

glucose test you have to test your blood

sugars after your meal

1 2 3 4 hours so you can actually see

what happens dynamically and a lot of

times even the test itself I don’t

believe is valid where you’re going to

drink this glucose mixture ok and

they’re gonna check your blood sugars

every hour for the next three hours

I mean who consumes or drink straight

glucose well maybe do if you drink sodas

but it’d be good to do this test on the

food that people consume especially the

high carbohydrate meals to really see

what happens after you consume that so

sometimes it’s difficult to get a

validation from the medical profession

because it has to be like below 70 okay

but let’s say it’s 75 or even 80 and you

have these symptoms right here you could

have a severe insulin resistance

situation have the symptoms and because

you have insulin resistance and this one

controls the input of that glucose into

the cell your cells could be starving a

glucose yet have normal blood sugars so

there’s different scenarios that could

happen so if you go online and you get

data you’re gonna find all sorts of

information that is so confusing so some

of the support groups or foundations

will talk about the complexities and

there’s just almost an unlimited amount

of causes it could be this it could be

that and I want to just read something

because I look at the Q&A and this is

what it said what is the best diet for

those who suffer from hypoglycemia the

best diet for hypoglycemia is one that

emphasizes healthy fat and protein and

low in carbohydrates now I agree with

that I totally agree with that because

the elephant in the room is this right

here high carbs why don’t you just stop

eating carbs okay it’s that simple

I guarantee if you stop doing the carbs

and you adapt to fat-burning your blood

Sugar’s will come out nicely and you

won’t have the sense in

anymore their bodies are not designed to

run off high carbohydrate diets this is

the thing that’s abnormal this is the

root cause behind a lot of these issues

right here all right let me continue

basically said the best diet would be

protein and fat and low carbohydrates I

agree frequent feedings are often

necessary to control long-standing

functional hypoglycemia this is where I

disagree okay because every time you do

frequent meals and obviously they don’t

understand this one point you stimulate

insulin when you eat okay so if you eat

less frequent you’ll keep insulin low

and insulin is the thing that’s pushing

the blood sugars down so if we don’t

have high insulin your blood Sugar’s

will be actually be level the diaper

hypoglycemia is designed to avoid a drop

in glucose not capitalized fix it after

it falls why wouldn’t we want to design

a diet that also fixes this problem okay

eating sugar in all its forms as well as

eating refined carbohydrates triggers

excessive reactions by the pancreas

they must be avoided yes this is true

because what’s happening the reason why

the insulin is high is not for no reason

it’s reacting to something it’s reacting

to the high carbs and also the frequent

meals so the combination of going low

carb okay moderate protein higher fat is

very very smart because there’s one more

key to this whole puzzle and that is

insulin resistance people that have

hypoglycemia also have insulin

resistance and to fix this you must

consume foods that are high in magnesium

potassium and those are called

vegetables so if you did the low carb

moderate protein higher fat with at

least seven cups of vegetables

high-quality salad something like that

you’re gonna find that you will

eventually heal instant resistance and

you won’t have this anymore
