If youâve noticed your energy dipping, your cravings feeling stronger, or your immune system not bouncing back the way it used to, youâre not imagining it.
During menopause, hormonal changes can make blood sugar regulation more sensitive. And when blood sugar rises and falls quickly, it doesnât just affect energy and mood. It can also place extra stress on the immune system.
Hereâs why that matters. đЎ
When blood sugar spikes frequently, the body shifts into a more inflammatory state. Over time, this can make it harder for immune cells to do their job effectively. In menopause, when estrogenâs protective effects are changing, those swings can feel even more impactful.
Supporting blood sugar balance can gently support immune health by:
⢠preventing immune suppression
⢠supporting gut health
⢠reducing inflammation
⢠protecting energy for immune cells
Small daily changes can help:
đĽ Build meals with protein, fibre, and healthy fats
âąď¸ Eat regular, balanced meals to help avoid big dips and spikes in blood sugar
đ Pair carbohydrates with protein and fat
𼌠Aim to get enough fibre in your diet each day
đž Choose complex carbohydrates over refined carbs
đśââď¸ Gentle movement after meals can help reduce glucose spikes
⨠You donât have to figure this out on your own.
