hey I’m back we’re gonna talk about the

dawn phenomena okay or the dawn effect

okay this is a situation where you have

a spike in blood sugars between like 4

a.m. sometimes it’s a little earlier 2

a.m. in the morning so the blood Sugar’s

spike so here you go to bed and you’re

supposed to be fasting all night right

and you got this spike of blood sugars

so let’s talk about what can cause this

okay so when you go to bed at night okay

you’re gonna go for the next seven or

eight hours without eating so let’s

discuss what could happen so here you

are you go to bed okay so you’re

supposed to go from all night long

without eating that you’re gonna fast

all that long right so the blood sugars

should come down because you’re not

eating but they go up and here’s what

happens there’s a certain mechanism that

happens when your blood sugar goes a

little too low there’s a counter of fact

from a couple other hormones epinephrine

and cortisol leases from the adrenals

and growth hormone and another hormone

called glucagon that originates from the

pancreas so all of these hormones

actually cause a rebound effect and

release sugar or stored sugar from the

liver so they create a liver dump of the

release of glycogen which is stored

sugar and that’s really what spike enos

it’s a counter hormonal effect that is

causing these hormones to dump stored

sugar from the liver so if you if you

research this there’s not a lot of

people that know anything about it

they’ll say well don’t eat before you go

to bed some people say we’ll eat some

carbs before you go to bed or don’t

snack for carbs or don’t snack on carbs

late night there’s all these different

things that people are saying well

here’s what I’m gonna recommend which

will bypass and fix the whole problem

realize that you’re not in ketosis you

are running your body on glucose you’re

not running your body on ketones which

is a better fuel source if you run your

body on ketones by going through the key

to adaptation phase by cutting your

carbs down you’re not going to have this

effect anymore okay you won’t have the

highs and lows the issues that you have

with blood sugar problems now if you’re

a diabetic

one or type two I still suggest you do

keto and intimate fasting because those

two powerful tools can help minimize

this effect right here and I know

diabetics who do ketosis and in the

fasting and this thing clears up however

a certain percentage of population still

have a issue in which case you’re going

to support the adrenal glands okay now

I’m going to put a link down below of

how to do that or the liver okay but

that’s actually rare but if it does

happen then you’re just gonna support

either the adrenal or the liver and

fully resolve this issue okay

thanks for watching hey you know what I

just want to say thank you for watching
