 This episode is about: Low blood sugar, hypoglycemia and its related conditions. And, of course, what you can do to fix it. Hi, and welcome back to another session of Spirit 20 Tropathy! If you have any questions about anything I talk about, whether it’s from a past show or a podcast, feel free to reach out. Like I mentioned last week, I’m not sure what to call these – maybe "discussions," but it’s mostly one-sided since you have to ask me questions! So, if you’ve got something on your mind, or want to discuss anything, email me at Michael383@me.com. You can also check out my websites: Michael’s Health for nutrition and lifestyle tips, and Michael’s Spiritual Health for emotional and spiritual guidance. Today, we’re going to talk about hypoglycemia, Candida Albicans, and allergies. I call them "kissing cousins" because if you have one, you might have the other two. Sometimes, hypoglycemia is the main issue, sometimes it’s Candida, and other times it’s allergies. These three conditions are connected in many ways. In fact, Candida and hypoglycemia can also cause chronic fatigue and even fibromyalgia. We'll dive deeper into that today. Let’s start with allergies. There are food allergies and airborne allergies (like pollen and dust). Both types are caused by proteins your body reacts to as if they are harmful. This can overload your immune system, causing an allergic reaction. In severe cases, like with peanuts, it can even cause anaphylactic shock, which can be deadly. Now, let’s talk about hypoglycemia. If you or someone you know wakes up feeling tired, irritable, or miserable, that could be a sign. If they can’t function until they have coffee or some sugar, it might be hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia happens when your blood sugar is low, and it can cause headaches, brain fog, and a lack of energy. Your body needs sugar (or glucose) to function. When you eat sugar, your body turns it into glucose. Without enough glucose, you can feel weak and even depressed. A funny example is from the Snickers commercial where they show people getting cranky when they’re hungry. Around 3 p.m., many people with hypoglycemia start feeling tired and are looking for something to boost their energy. Snickers picked up on this and made ads for that 3 p.m. pick-me-up. But things are getting worse as more people rely on sugary drinks and caffeine for energy. I heard a crazy story about a company that sells energy drinks: one of their cans fell and exploded, eating a hole in the cement! That's how powerful some of these drinks are! The cause of hypoglycemia is often adrenal exhaustion, which is caused by stress. You may have heard me talk about the adrenal glands before. They’re responsible for your body’s “fight or flight” response. When they’re overworked, it can affect your blood sugar, immune system, and overall energy. Stress can come from all sorts of things – work, relationships, or even just feeling overwhelmed. When you feel stressed, your body needs more nutrients to deal with it. To help your adrenal glands, I recommend taking vitamins like pantothenic acid (a B vitamin) and vitamin C. Ashwagandha and licorice are great herbs to support the adrenals too. Licorice, in particular, is good but should be used in moderation because too much can raise blood pressure. Let’s look at hypoglycemia from a symbolic perspective. Stress is often the root cause. There’s physical stress from exercise, and emotional stress from situations in life. Have you ever felt your heart race when a police car pulls up behind you? That’s your body’s response to stress. Stress can use up your vitamins and minerals, which is why it's important to take care of your body’s nutrition.
