Background:
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the main nutrients in food that give your body energy. Sugars and starchy foods are examples of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can raise blood sugar levels more than other nutrients. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the amount of carbohydrates you eat.
Join Dr. Ritamarie as she discusses how understanding different types of carbohydrates affect your blood sugar is essential to helping you maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
Additional Resources:
Dr. Ritamarie’s IRSPT blood sugar balancing practitioner course will teach you how to unravel the mystery of your client’s complex health puzzle, starting with blood sugar imbalance. Not only will you deepen your understanding of how to help others, you’ll also enjoy direct experience with being on the receiving end of effective blood sugar balancing protocols. IRSPT includes learning intensive modules that teach you how to assess and manage insulin resistant (and on the verge of becoming insulin resistant) clients. Become a trained Insulin Resistance Solutions coach in as little as 6 weeks!
