Not only does too many refined carbs, sugar and stress affect our blood sugar regulation, but environmental toxins, over time, can affect it as well.

We are exposed to many toxins on a daily basis thanks to industrial waste and industrial farming. These chemicals can be found in the air, water, and our food supply. The FDA may not catagorize some of these chemicals as harmful.

We must, however, take into consideration the multiple chemicals we are exposed to daily and the long-term total body burden.

There are factors that we have to take into consideration that compound the toxin load on our bodies:

Chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, drugs, solvents, metals, etc.

Infections, including parasites

Food-poisoning toxins and molds like aflatoxin, fusarium, etc.

Electromagnetic fields and radiation (EMF)

Alcohol consumption, smoking, etc.

Structural and mechanical imbalances, nasal or intestinal obstructions, etc.

Hormonal imbalances

Emotional trauma, stress, loneliness, etc.

The toxic load we put on our bodies can be enormous, especially when it compounds over time including our cleaning products, cosmetics, self-care products, laundry products and more.

These toxins, over time, can affect our gut health and lead to leaky gut, as well as problems with our liver. Our liver performs many functions including cleansing the blood from toxins and converting glucose to be stored, converting it from the stored form and back into a form that can be used as fuel. When our liver is overburdened it cannot perform these functions properly, leading to more health problems.

If you are seeing signs of blood sugar dysregulation the good news is that it can be reversed! If you would like to explore how this would look inside my 12 Week Program, just send me an email so we can discuss how it can work for you.
