Why does my glucose DROP when I start eating?

Most people expect blood sugar to rise immediately when eating. So when you see it dip as you take your first bites, it can feel concerning.

But here’s what’s actually happening: Your nervous system is shifting into rest-and-digest mode.

When you’re stressed (even mildly), your liver releases glucose into your bloodstream. Blood sugar rises without food.

When you start eating in a calm state, your vagus nerve signals safety. Your liver stops releasing extra glucose. Blood sugar dips gently as digestion begins.

This is called a vagal-mediated glucose drop. And it’s a good sign.

Yesterday, my glucose went 115 → 103 as I started eating.

No crash. No jitters. Just grounded and normal.

This is what healing regulation feels like.

How to support this:

1. Take 10 slow breaths before eating
2. Drop your shoulders
3. Let your stomach soften
4. Stay seated while eating
5. Chew without rushing

These cues tell your body: “We’re safe. It’s okay to digest.”

This is not instability. This is regulation.

It means your liver is less reactive, your muscles are accepting glucose, your blood sugar isn’t driven by stress anymore, and your body is rebuilding.

This is the phase where things start feeling calmer, steadier, more grounded.

This is where deeper healing begins.

If you’ve been doing everything right but your body still feels confusing, there are ways to understand what it’s telling you.

I help people interpret these patterns and create sustainable rhythms that work with their body.

Why some Thanksgiving meals feel heavier than others

It’s not just about what’s on your plate.

Holiday meals hit differently because of what’s happening before you sit down: hours without eating, travel stress, dehydration, social stimulation, hosting responsibilities.

When these stack up, even normal holiday foods feel heavy.

A few simple things make a huge difference:

📌 Eat protein 60-90 min before the big meal (prevents arriving overly hungry)

📌 Sip water with minerals all day (most people are dehydrated without realizing it)

📌Have bitters before eating (lemon water, arugula, digestive bitters—supports comfortable digestion)

📌 Choose one anchor on your plate first (protein, veggies, or healthy fat)

📌 Take a 5-10 min walk after eating (supports normal blood sugar patterns)

Remember: rhythm > perfection (one meal doesn’t define your health)

This isn’t about restriction or “being good.” It’s about supporting your system so you actually enjoy the day—without the post-meal crash or food guilt.

Your metabolism responds to patterns over time, not one holiday meal.

Save this for later + share with someone who needs the reminder 💚

People always ask me how I consistently eat fresh, balanced meals — especially on the days when life is moving fast.

Here’s my real answer:

When I come home from the grocery store, I never put ingredients away.
I batch cook immediately — one mess, one oven session, one cleanup, and I’m set for days.

Everything you see in this picture was prepped and cooked in the same window of time.
By the time it hits the refrigerator, it’s already done and ready to grab.

Why I do it this way

Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know what to eat — they struggle because their day gets away from them.

Batch cooking removes that obstacle:
    •    Your meals are balanced before the week even starts
    •    Digestion stays steadier when your inputs stay consistent
    •    Energy stays more even
    •    And you don’t lose time prepping food every single day

Healthy eating isn’t about spending hours in the kitchen — it’s about systems that support your rhythm.

One mess.
One oven session.
One cleanup.
Fresh meals for days.

If you want the framework I use (or you help patients who need a practical structure like this), send me a message. I’m always happy to share what works

I made this Tomato and Burrata Cheese with Basil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil today

Tomato + Burrata + Basil + Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Meals like this show how simple ingredients can support steady energy and a calm, grounded body.

When you pair natural carbohydrates (like tomatoes) with:
    •    Protein
    •    Healthy fats
    •    Aromatic herbs

…it changes how the meal is experienced inside the body.

The protein and fats act as the anchor, slowing the release of glucose so your energy stays even and steady, rather than rising quickly and dropping just as fast.

The olive oil provides satisfaction and fullness, helping the body recognize that it has been nourished.

And the basil?
Aromatic herbs help shift us into the rest-and-digest state — the place where we actually absorb what we eat.

There’s no restriction here.
No forcing.
No negotiating with hunger.

Just feeding the body in a way that communicates “you’re safe, there is enough, you can relax.”

This is such a good try! And I would love you to give a feedback when you try it out.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s just missing the tools.

You’re eating clean. Spending money on quality proteins. Doing everything right. But you still feel bloated after meals, crash by mid-afternoon, and look pregnant by dinner. You assume something’s deeply wrong with your gut or hormones.

The real issue is simpler. Your digestive system doesn’t have the enzymatic capacity to break down what you’re eating. Premium food means nothing if your body can’t process it.

Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple stems that breaks down proteins into absorbable amino acids. Most people notice within days that meals digest smoothly, the afternoon crash disappears, bloating drops significantly, and workout recovery improves because muscles finally get what they need.

Eating pineapple won’t cut it. The enzyme is concentrated in the fibrous stem, not the fruit. You’d need amounts that would spike your blood sugar and irritate your mouth. A supplement gives you therapeutic levels without the problems.

I started taking this because I was tired of investing in food that didn’t match how I felt. My body needed help doing what it’s designed to do. Within a week, digestion shifted from effortful to effortless. That’s why it’s now in my dispensary.

If quality food isn’t translating to quality energy, the breakdown is happening before absorption. Your body just needs the right support.

What if the way you’re trying to heal is what’s keeping you tired?

One of my clients came to me with bacterial overgrowth and a parasite.
She wasn’t struggling. Her energy was strong, her work was demanding, and she managed it all well but her labs said something needed attention, and she wanted to clear it fast.

The instinct to act quickly makes sense when you’re used to performing at a high level but that’s exactly where most people go wrong.
Aggressive protocols that rely on “killing” or “detoxing” can backfire on a system that’s already running full speed.

We did it differently.
We supported her nervous system first.
We opened drainage and liver pathways before touching antimicrobials.
We tracked HRV and glucose to make sure her body could actually handle the process.

When we finally introduced the treatment phase, there were no crashes. No fatigue. Her energy actually increased.
She told me, “I thought healing meant slowing down. This made me feel stronger.”

Your body isn’t fighting you. It’s protecting capacity.
When you push too hard, it holds back to keep you functional.
When you build the foundation first, healing feels like optimization, not recovery.

If you’ve been feeling off but not “sick,” and you want to address what’s happening without losing your edge, I’m opening a few free Health Clarity Calls in November .
15 minutes to understand what your body is trying to tell you before it forces you to stop.

Most people don’t get nearly enough protein in the morning and it shows up as fatigue, brain fog, and mid-morning cravings.

Here’s how I fix that:

📌Leftover roasted broccoli
📌Half a baked sweet potato
📌4 eggs

The eggs give me about 28g of protein, the broccoli adds fiber + detox-loving nutrients, and the sweet potato gives me gentle carbs that keep my energy steady all morning.

The combo of protein + fiber + complex carbs = focus, satiety, and calm energy (no crashes 🙌🏽).

Tip: Batch bake sweet potatoes on the weekend so you can just reheat and go during the week.

Small shifts like this change everything — more energy, balanced hormones, and better focus.

Evening Reset for Your Nervous System

You don’t need an hour-long routine or a stack of supplements to unwind.
Sometimes, nervous system healing looks like:
📌Sitting quietly with your pet after a long day
📌Listening to soft music while you tidy up
📌Watching the sky fade into night

Just a few mindful minutes can shift your body from “doing” to “digesting.”
It lowers stress hormones, boosts your vagal tone, and tells your body: you’re safe to rest now.

These tiny rituals of calm build resilience that no supplement can replicate.

Start small tonight. Your nervous system will thank you. 💚

Your body’s been giving you breadcrumbs.

The weird energy dips that don’t make sense. The way your sleep tracker shows your HRV slowly trending down. How you used to skip breakfast no problem, but now you’re shaky by 10am.

You’ve probably written each one off. Stress, getting older or Just need more sleep.

But what if it’s not random at all?

I see this pattern constantly: Someone walks in with a lifestyle that would make any wellness influencer jealous. They’re eating organic, hitting the gym, taking their supplements. Everything by the book.

But their body keeps dropping hints that something’s not quite right.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: Your body doesn’t go from “perfectly fine” to “completely broken” overnight. There’s this whole middle zone where things are starting to shift, but you’re still functional enough that it’s easy to ignore.

Until you can’t anymore.

The clients who catch this early? The ones who pay attention to those breadcrumbs before they turn into boulders? They’re the ones who get to optimize instead of repair. They get to fine-tune instead of overhaul.

If you’ve been collecting breadcrumbs and wondering when it’s worth paying attention to them, that time is probably now.

I’m opening up a few free Health Clarity Calls this month for people who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding what their body’s actually trying to say.

Just 15 minutes of honest conversation about what you’re noticing, what might be worth looking into, and whether working together makes sense.

Your body might be stuck in survival mode without you knowing it 🚨

Plot twist: Some of my most zen clients have the most stressed-out nervous systems. They’ve mastered meditation, nailed their morning routines, stay calm through any chaos. But their bodies? Still running on high alert 24/7.

Here’s the thing we don’t talk about enough:

📌Your nervous system can’t tell the difference between a work deadline and a gut infection.

Depleted magnesium feels like danger. Liver congestion triggers alarm bells. Hidden inflammation sends the same “threat” signals as relationship drama.

But unlike emotional stress, these physical stressors don’t scream for attention. They quietly mess with your metabolism, digestion, and energy while you feel totally fine mentally.

I see this pattern constantly:
• Morning blood sugar that won’t stabilize (perfect diet ✅)
• Digestive issues that don’t respond to anything
• Random energy crashes that make zero sense
• Sleep that’s “fine” but never truly restorative

The common thread? Their nervous system is stuck broadcasting “DANGER” to threats they can’t identify.

One client put it perfectly: *”It’s like my body was running a security system I didn’t know was activated.”

Once we started calming her nervous system and addressing those hidden stressors, everything shifted. Stable energy. Better digestion. Deeper sleep. Labs that finally matched how she felt.

The game-changer?You can’t optimize a system that thinks it’s under attack.

Sometimes the most powerful thing isn’t adding more to your routine—it’s teaching your body it’s safe to stop defending and start thriving.

What signals might your body be sending that you’ve learned to ignore? 👀

What my client learned today:

“I always believed that feeling good meant I was healthy.”

She’s one of those people everyone envies. Boundless energy, sharp focus and never gets sick.

But today she discovered something that completely shifted her perspective:

You can feel amazing and still have silent imbalances brewing beneath the surface.

Your body is incredible at compensation. It can manage stress, mineral depletion, inflammation, and gut imbalances without obvious symptoms. Especially when you’ve been taking care of yourself for years.

The paradox? The stronger you are, the less your body complains. The better your baseline health, the more your system hides what’s developing underneath.

She’d been living by a dangerous myth: No symptoms = No problems.

But symptoms aren’t early warnings. They’re late-stage alerts. By the time you feel something off, your body has been compensating for months, maybe years.

When we looked deeper, even her “normal” labs told a story:

• That slight blood sugar bump? Stress hormones and gut bacteria interfering with metabolism
• Liver working overtime before she’d ever feel it
• Gut quietly fighting battles while inflammation markers looked fine

Her testing revealed: low digestive enzymes, unbalanced gut bacteria, and her immune system working harder than it should. All while feeling fantastic.

Here’s what clicked:
Small changes in strong bodies aren’t random. They’re breadcrumbs leading to bigger insights.
Once we connected these dots, everything made sense—and we could actually do something about it.

Ready to decode what your body might be telling you?
Your “normal” labs could be revealing a story that changes everything about how you feel and function.

Book a consultation and let’s connect the dots together.
