Read on for answers to some frequently asked questions about our blood sugar support services. Discover how we help clients across Lafayette, Danville and beyond find balance, achieve sustainable weight loss, and reclaim whole-body wellbeing.
What symptoms may indicate blood sugar issues?
Imbalanced blood sugar can manifest in various symptoms affecting energy, cognition, weight, hunger levels and more. Watch for:
- Fatigue, dizziness or low energy
- Brain fog, difficulty concentrating
- Sugar and carb cravings
- Unexpected weight gain
- Increased thirst and urination
- Irritability or mood swings
Paying attention to subtle signals from your body provides clues to finding solutions early. Monitoring blood sugar levels directly also helps assess imbalances over time.
How do blood sugar imbalances impact overall health?
Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar puts you at risk for numerous concerns:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Eye problems
- Kidney disease
- Fatty liver disease
Rebalancing blood sugar helps prevent and sometimes reverse these issues before they progress. Optimized levels also provide cells steady fuel for improved energy, weight management and mental clarity.
Why is Cambiati Wellness Programs’ approach unique?
We take a functional, root cause-based approach to blood sugar balance. Unlike conventional medicine, we don’t just manage symptoms with medications alone. Our licensed nutritionists spend extensive time understanding your health history, labs, genetics, lifestyle and other factors.
We then develop a personalized nutrition and lifestyle protocol to resolve underlying issues promoting blood sugar instability from the inside out. This holistic process returns clients to a state of balance and vibrancy.
What type of testing does Cambiati Wellness Programs use?
Our advanced testing provides an expanded window into blood sugar status and related aspects of health. Alongside common markers like fasting glucose and A1c, we assess:
- Insulin, C-peptide and leptin levels
- Inflammatory markers
- Thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones
- Micronutrients like magnesium and B vitamins
- Food sensitivities
By connecting these dots, we reveal the full picture of what’s driving your blood sugar issues. Targeted solutions then rebalance your body from multiple angles.
Can diet and lifestyle changes really make an impact?
Absolutely. The foods you eat and daily habits wield immense influence over glucose control. We provide personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance focused on:
- Balancing macronutrients
- Choosing low-glycemic carbs
- Spacing meals and snacks
- Staying hydrated
- Managing stress
- Getting quality sleep
- Exercising effectively
Small adjustments to these lifestyle factors compound over time, creating profound improvements in A1c, fasting blood glucose, weight loss and energy.
What about keto, low-carb or intermittent fasting diets?
Approaches like keto, reduced carb intake or intermittent fasting can assist some individuals in balancing blood sugar. However, these strategies are not universally appropriate or sustainable. Restrictive diets often backfire over time.
We determine if such regimens align with your physiology and lifestyle to support lasting success. Where helpful, we’ll integrate these tools into your plan in a balanced, moderate way. The focus remains restoring balance from within rather than chasing rigid rules.
Can I still enjoy some of my favorite carbs?
We don’t immediately restrict all carbohydrates. In fact, properly balanced, low-glycemic carbs provide fiber, nutrients and steady energy. We’ll guide you in identifying well-tolerated options you can integrate as part of an overall healthy pattern for life.
These may include modest amounts of:
- Whole grains like brown rice or quinoa
- Starchy veggies like sweet potatoes
- Legumes like lentils and beans
- Lower sugar fruits like berries
Our goal is for you to feel satisfied and nourished, not deprived, as we progress toward balance.
