I know insulin resistance is a very trendy topic right now, and one of the most frequent complaints I hear from clients is that they just can’t kick their sweet tooth. ⁣

⁣

But here’s something interesting that might be raising your blood sugar & in turn, causing you to crave more sugar. ⁣

⁣

While food can be a huge culprit, it may actually have little to do with the food you’re consuming. ⁣

The good thing is all of these can be managed with some small lifestyle changes. ⁣

•Cut back on caffeine ⁣

•Slow down while eating! ⁣

•Less bluelight more SUNLIGHT ⁣

⁣

& bonus tip… 1-2 tbs. of ACV 15 minutes before a moderate-high carb meal can take the blood sugar impact down around 25-35%. ⁣

⁣

You can also do this after!! Be sure to dilute with some water & drink with a straw ⁣
