Toxin Causing Weight Gain and Blood Sugar Issues

This year in the clinic, I’m seeing an explosion of blood sugar issues. One of my patients came in during spring with severe pollen allergies and during the office visit, so I checked her blood sugar. Her pancreas had a toxin in it so I detoxed that out. Prior to this visit, her A1C was in the prediabetes range for the first time. She was told by her doctor,  like several of my other patients, to diet and exercise for three months, and then they would recheck her numbers, and put her on medication if her blood sugar didn’t change. She changed her diet for one month with no changes in blood sugar. once I starting supporting her pancreas with a specific detox, then her blood sugar started to lower.

Another patient did the popular V Shred diet and exercise program. She didn’t lose any weight, which her coach said was very uncommon. Turns out her A1C was in the diabetic range. She had a toxin in both the adrenals and pancreas, and an autoimmune response as well. This is when the immune system kills the healthy cells of the body. Autoimmune is very common now and is causing weight gain, extreme fatigue, and blood sugar issues. I addressed both the toxin and autoimmune response and her AlC went from diabetic 6.7 to prediabetic 6.3.

Another patient was prediabetic with an AlC of 5.7, and she also had the same biological issues. We supported her with specific supplements to support both the toxins and autoimmune issues. Her blood sugar went into normal range of 5.4. She was very happy because she didn’t want to go on blood sugar medication.

Blood sugar levels can be too high or too low. Some common symptoms of blood sugar imbalances are:

• Weight gain
• Low blood sugar symptoms:
• Headaches
• Shakiness
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Sleep issues
• Hard time focusing
• Weight Gain & Loss

Patients are having trouble with weight gain or a hard time loosing weight. I find that people that do not have these metabolic issues can loose weight easier and not gain the weight.

Having had these issues myself, I was gaining weight while on a diet. This was alarming, because before COVID, I never had weight issues. Resolving these metabolic issues can compliment your weight loss efforts and make the journey easier.
