I’m going to show you how to get rid of

hypoglycemia with just one tiny simple

change now what is Hypoglycemia well

technically it’s a blood sugar that’s

below 70 milligrams per deciliter and

it’s actually rare to have blood sugar

being low when you have

hypoglycemic symptoms the great majority

of time you have all the symptoms yet

your blood sugars are normal and when I

talk about symptoms I’m talking about

shakiness irritable anxiety hungry

sweating headache can’t concentrate

blurry eyes and so you hear this a lot

where oh my blood sugars are crashing I

need to go eat something right but most

of the time if you were to check your

blood sugars it’s just normal so what is

going on well I want to explain this by

using

earplugs okay if I were to put these

earplugs in my ears right now and you

were to talk to me I wouldn’t be able to

hear you in fact you would have to shout

at me

for me to hear you to penetrate

this resistance so with hypoglycemia

you have something going on

um you have this resistance it’s called

insulin resistance okay now insulin is

the hormone that helps to lower blood

glucose and just so you know regarding

blood sugars your body has this

Superior

I don’t know if it’s like a law in the

body or Superior principle that no

matter what it’s very very very

important to keep your blood sugars

normal and it’s even more important to

keep the blood sugars higher than lower

for survival your body will do all sorts

of things to prevent this lowering of

your blood sugar your brain needs

glucose or certain parts of it and

without that glucose you will not be

able to survive and so insulin is the

main hormone that comes in there and

lowers your blood glucose if it’s too

high after you eat and insulin is

triggered by two things it’s the

carbohydrates that you eat and how

refined they are or how much

concentrated sugar and also it’s the

frequency of eating so if you eat a lot

of meals a lot of snacks you’re going to

keep spiking insulin over and over and

over and the problem is that when you

keep spiking insulin chronically over a

period of time you develop what’s called

insulin resistance it doesn’t lower the

blood sugars as well as it should

because you have these earplugs plugs in

here so if I had these earplugs in there

and you were talking to me you would

literally have to shout at me with high

volume of communication to penetrate so

I can hear just a little bit well that’s

what happens with hypoglycemia you have

a situation where you may normally have

normal blood sugar

but you have high insulin in the

background to try to penetrate this

resistance so you can at least get some

control of that insulin to help lower

the blood glucose so the body keeps

compensating over time to stabilizes

blood sugars because if you eat a carb

the blood sugars go up the insulin kicks

in there and pushes it down well we

can’t have low blood sugar so the body

will start to develop resistance against

the thing that is pushing the glucose

down

now what’s abnormal about this whole

thing is that bodies were not designed

to consume the amount of carbohydrates

that we consume so that’s really the

underlying root cause and the glucose in

the blood might be normal but because

insulin controls glucose absorption you

probably have very low amounts of

glucose in the actual cell in other

words glucose absorption in your cells

is dependent on insulin so the more

insulin resistance you have the less

glucose you’re going to have in the cell

and if you have low insulin in the cell

which I don’t even know if they have a

way to test that but the point is you’re

going to have hypoglycemia symptoms with

normal blood glucose and in the

background High insulin the medical term

for this is called hyper

insulinemic that means High insulin in

the blood hypoglycemia hypo meaning low

glycemia meaning sugar it’s probably one

of the most common types of hypoglycemia

especially for kids and infants and now

the worst thing you can do okay for

hypoglycemia

is to continue

to have these small

meals okay even small protein meals to

try to fix it or even worse

um some sugar to raise your blood

glucose higher that’s the worst thing

you can do because that’s going to

trigger more insulin it’s going to make

things worse and worse you’ll feel

better temporarily but it’s going to be

worse and worse over time so it’s a

complete myth or even a lie that you

should have small frequent meals to

prevent low blood sugar and it’s also a

lie that these frequent small meals

somehow stoke the metabolic fire or

stimulate your metabolism absolutely not

true and it’s also a myth that breakfast

is the most important meal even though I

used to recommend it I don’t recommend

that anymore because actually when you

eat it stimulates more hunger about an

hour and a half later why because of

this whole insulin thing that’s going on

in the background how do we fix this you

have a couple different types of fuel

that you can run your body off of the

majority of the population is running

their body off of glucose and so when

you’re doing that oh my gosh you are

dependent on trying to get glucose all

the time because we don’t store a lot of

glucose we only have a very small

storage of glucose it’s called glycogen

it’s in your muscle and your liver and

when that runs out oh my gosh we we need

quick energy right we need glucose but

what about fat why not just run your

body on fat fuel you have a lot more

storage of fat than you do glucose an

average person who is not skinny has

literally a hundred thousand calories of

stored fat in their body that’s enough

to last at least three months or longer

the world record of the person who

fasted the longest was over a year

without food and they survived and they

lost a lot of weight the point is you

have almost an unlimited ability to run

your body off fat Fuel and our bodies

were designed to do that and I’m now

going to convince you that that is the

best fuel to run your body off of and

when I say fat I’m talking about fatty

acids and ketones ketones are one of the

byproducts out of fat so you can run the

body on a combination of fatty acids and

ketones but they both come from fat

what’s really cool about running your

body off of fat is it only takes a few

days

to switch over to this new fuel system

that your body’s going to be like wow

this is a lot better than the glucose

because my appetite went away and I feel

so much better big thing that’s so

beneficial about ketones and fatty acids

is that you don’t need insulin as a

hormone

to be involved so this glucose fuel is

dependent on insulin so anything that is

connected with insulin resistance like

all the problems like metabolic syndrome

high blood pressure high cholesterol

belly fat liver fat inflammation

dementia all these body problems and

there’s quite a few and you pretty much

bypass any of these problems that are

associated with insulin resistance they

tend to go bye-bye when you start

changing over the fuel system now deep

inside your cells you have the

mitochondria that’s the energy Factory

of the body and deep inside the

mitochondria you have something called

the Krebs cycle and it’s really complex

but it’s basically converting glucose

into energy but when you run your body

on ketones and fatty acids you don’t

need to involve all those different

steps that are involved with glucose you

only need to use one or maybe two of

these many different alchemical steps

that glucose needs this saves you a lot

of energy so it’s like running your body

off of a much better machine and it

produces a lot more energy when you run

your body on ketones and fatty acids you

actually take a huge stress off the

mitochondria and if you don’t already

know this the majority of non-infectious

diseases that we experience involve the

mitochondria and I’m including cancer at

the top of the list when you run your

body off too much glucose it destroys

the mitochondria with all sorts of

reactive oxygen molecules I’m not going

to get into the weeds with that but the

point is that there’s a lot of side

effects when you run your body off too

much glucose you get enhanced

mitochondria function you have more

oxygen involved with the mitochondria

you need less fuel to run the body you

even need less thyroid hormones to keep

your metabolism up because the thyroid

gland runs more efficiently and your

liver doesn’t have to work so hard you

have to realize that the liver has to do

a lot of different things it’s like 500

different functions and when you run

your body off of fat and you decrease

the need for glucose in the brain

because the brain can also run on

ketones well most of it can only a small

portion needs actual glucose that your

liver can now just focus on that really

important action of producing

new glucose for the brain and certain

other tissues like red blood cells

and that’s called gluconeogenesis you

basically give your brain a chance to

chill out you give your heart a chance

to work better because the heart is a

muscle just like your skeletal muscle so

you actually take a big stress off your

muscles you also take a big stress off

your liver there’s only one thing just

one simple thing you need to do and that

is this

lower

your carbohydrates below 50 grams

per day that’s it and when you do that

the body will start to transition over

okay within a few days to this new fuel

system and in this transition you’re

going to have more ketones in your blood

in your urine in your breath and there’s

ways to test that and those are extra

ketones that are not being burned yet

because you’re right in the transition

phase and your body is adapting to this

new machine to the point where you’re

going to be burning off these ketones

more efficiently very soon but in the

meantime you can at least test for these

ketones to see that if you’re in ketosis

or if you’re in this transition stage

and and when you kind of graduate from

this transition phase this is why I

recommend a urine Ketone sticks you can

measure your urine and you’re going to

initially see a lot of ketones coming

from the urine and then you’re going to

see less and less and less and that

means that your body is actually finally

adapting to ketones and it’s burning

more of the ketones

a better test at that time to switch

over to

is the blood Ketone test and you can get

these kits so all you need right now is

a simple explanation on how to do this

switch and for that I put the video up

right here
