In this comprehensive guide to blood sugar balance, you\u2019ll receive a taste of our signature Full Body Systems training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why is blood sugar balance so important?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood sugar plays a pivotal role in overall health and everyday wellbeing. With low blood sugar you may experience headaches, cravings, sluggishness, and mood swings. Conversely, when your blood sugar spikes you may experience increased appetite and lethargy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent fluctuations between those two extremes can cause common symptoms such as weight gain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, skin inflammation, hot flashes, and more. Worse, chronic blood sugar imbalance can lead to candida, diabetes, hypertension, and even cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Functional approach to blood sugar balance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/no-carb-low-carb-night-carbs-whats-the-deal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional Nutrition Alliance Carbohydrate Continuum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was designed to help you educate your clients on the importance of blood sugar balance, a dynamic equilibrium impacted largely by dietary and lifestyle factors. It\u2019s a great place to start conversations about sugars and their effects on our bodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Continuum will help you help your clients understand <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what\u2019s going on in there<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is one of the key tools I teach in Full Body Systems for patient-centered empowerment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you help your clients better understand their body systems, and how dietary and lifestyle choices can support or compromise them, you close the Knowledge Gap \u2014 a critical part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/functional-nutrition-tip-the-truth-about-compliance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">client compliance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your clients understand <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what\u2019s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> going on, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they need to make changes, then it\u2019s time for you to recommend <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> those changes should be. I like to think of this as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/why-remedies-rarely-match-symptoms\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symbiosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s where the modifiable diet and lifestyle factors meet physiology and shake hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite what health and diet books, blogs and big shots would have you believe, one size <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">never<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fits all &#8211; not in blood sugar balance, not in anything. Taking a Functional approach means paying heed to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/bioindividuality-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bioindividuality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It means assessing each person\u2019s needs, and making recommendations based on a person\u2019s unique situation, both biologically and situationally. Step by step, we track and pivot as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is true with blood sugar balance as well as every other health issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Functional guide to blood sugar balance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no single formula that works for all patients with a shared sign, symptom, or condition. There are key factors that help us determine what to recommend after we\u2019ve done a proper assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, when you understand how each body system is connected to every other system in the body, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> how food meets physiology, you also know where to start within the web of interactions. This approach helps you know what interventions to consider to make a difference in a person&#8217;s life and healing journey. It will also help you understand how to balance blood sugar naturally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fxna.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fnl\/shared-pdfs\/FNL-Blood-Sugar-Done-4-You.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional Guide to Blood Sugar Balance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an important set of recommendations because it highlights the top things to consider when addressing this Non-Negotiable!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fxna.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fnl\/shared-pdfs\/FNL-Blood-Sugar-Done-4-You.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download your copy here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you work with our Functional Guide to Blood Sugar Balance, remember to follow the Functional Nutrition Protocol \u2014<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Assess, Recommend, and Track<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
