Description

This is an incredible story about recovery from reactive hypoglycemia, a condition that, for Roberta, lead to weight gain, cravings, mental health issues, medications, misdiagnosis, and ultimately time in a psych ward complete with electric shock therapy — all because no one knew she was suffering from hypoglycemia. It is a shocking story with a happy ending.Roberta, the founder and president of the Hypoglycemia Support Foundation and author of the book Do’s and Don’ts of Hypoglycemia, is now on a mission to educate others about hypoglycemia — a common condition that affects many people although they have NO idea. Symptoms include: mental illness, irritability, cravings, anxiety, insomnia, sweating, cold hands and feet and more — symptoms that can send us on a wild goose chase looking for medical solutions that can ultimately be found in a sugar-free/ processed carb-free diet and better self-care. It is caused by the pancreas excreting too much insulin in response to carbohydrates. Misunderstood and left untreated it typically progresses to diabetes. “The low blood sugar of today is the diabetes of tomorrow.” —Dr. Seale Harris In short, this interview is a wake-up call to monitor and manage our blood sugar levels and to remind us that what we eat can PROFOUNDLY affect our mental health.https://hypoglycemia.org/Florence's courses & coaching programs can be found at:www.FlorenceChristophers.comConnect with Florence on:FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

Welcome to the Kick Sugar Coach Podcast! Everyone knows alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes can be addictive, but sugar? Oh yes, sugar! It flies under the radar, but it should not. Sugar is not only addictive it is also linked to modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and more. Reducing or eliminating our consumption of refined carbohydrates is not easy. Our podcast is here to arm you with the information and inspiration you need to unhook from sugar’s seductive grip and fall in love with (and leverage the healing power of) whole foods. Becoming a whole food man/ woman is not just awesome for you, it is awesome for our children and our planet. We are swimming in processed and addictive food garbage. It is time for humans to rise up, fight back, eat real food, and feel fabulous. And it is time for sugar addicts to find the freedom they are seeking and discover the benefits and blessings of walking the path of recovery.
