Why Healing Blood Sugar Isn’t About Doing More (And What Actually Helps) | Episode 298

Episode Description

In this episode, I’m sharing a deeper look into what actually helps blood sugar heal - especially for those dealing with hypoglycemia, weight loss resistance, anxiety, and feeling stuck in “low-carb purgatory.”

This conversation comes from a Blood Sugar Mastery coaching call, where we explore why healing often requires doing the opposite of what we’ve been taught: eating more often, slowing down, reducing restriction, and prioritizing safety in the body over control.

I talk about why weight loss and hypoglycemia often clash, why forcing restriction can keep symptoms alive, and how the body only lets go of weight when it feels safe enough to do so.

We also dive into the emotional and nervous-system side of metabolic health — how fear, urgency, and micromanagement can keep the body in a stress response, and why addressing the mind-body connection is essential for lasting healing.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why hypoglycemia and weight loss often feel at odds with each other
  • How eating more (not less) can be part of healing blood sugar
  • Why the body holds on to weight when it doesn’t feel safe
  • What “low-carb purgatory” is — and why it feels so awful
  • The difference between fear-driven restriction and therapeutic ketosis
  • Why ketosis must be approached slowly and intentionally for hypoglycemics
  • How macronutrient balance can support stable energy, mood, and sleep
  • The importance of minerals, digestion, and fat tolerance during healing
  • How fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing show up in chronic health issues
  • Why micromanaging food, carbs, and protocols can increase stress instead of healing
  • How emotional safety and self-trust change the healing process
  • Why symptoms can sometimes be the body “speaking” or setting boundaries
