Targeted Nutrients (Blood Sugar Edition)

Nutrients to Support Blood Sugar ⬇️⬇️


Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is one of the best ways to optimize your hormones, brain health, energy levels, and overall well-being.


While blood sugar responds to the macronutrients (fats, proteins, carbs) in your diet, it also depends on 💥micronutrients💥 for regulation.


Such as (in no specific order)...


✅ B Vitamins

✅ Magnesium

✅ Chromium

✅ Zinc

✅ Omega-3’s

✅ Vitamin E

✅ Vitamin D


Each of these nutrients carry out specific functions related to blood sugar, but many support the action of insulin or the enzymes needed for energy metabolism.


So what?


So this means that eating nutrient-dense foods is just as important as balancing out carbs with protein, fat, and fiber.


If you are looking for targeted support for your blood sugar, metabolism, or energy, we can help.

Insider Immune Hack

Immune hack most people never try 💥

Ever noticed that you’re more likely to get sick when you’re burning the candle at both ends and pushing the limits of your stress?

That’s because stress triggers cortisol.

While cortisol suppresses inflammation in the short term, over time it weakens the immune system to be less effective at fighting off invaders.

That’s where adaptogens come in!

Adaptogens are herbs that strengthen the body’s resilience on many levels—from stress to hormones to immune function.

🌱 Tulsi (Holy Basil)

🌱 Ashwagandha

🌱 Rhodiola

🌱 Reishi

Sometimes adaptogens can interact with medications or health conditions, so please consult with a practitioner knowledgeable about herbs before taking supplements or even teas.
