A c𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬… “𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘯?”
I asked her what she had for breakfast.
Oatmeal.
Here’s what’s likely happening…
Oatmeal is mostly carbohydrates.
Even though it’s considered “healthy,” it can spike blood sugar quickly, especially if there’s not enough protein or fat with it.
So blood sugar goes up fast…
and then drops just as fast.
That drop is what feels like:
• exhaustion
• brain fog
• cravings
• needing caffeine to push through
Now layer in this…
If her body is also sensitive to oats, that can create inflammation on top of the blood sugar crash.
So now you have:
blood sugar instability + immune stress = energy crash
This is why so many women feel like they’re doing everything right… and still feel terrible.
It’s not just what you eat
it’s how YOUR body responds to it.
This is exactly where testing changes everything.
If you’re dealing with crashes, fatigue, or brain fog and can’t figure out why, book a call with me through the link in my bio.
