Taking Control of Blood Sugar: A Functional Medicine Approach to Diabetes
As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get caught up in the sweets, stress, and busyness of the season. But for those living with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, this time of year can be especially challenging. The good news? You can still enjoy the season while keeping your blood sugar (and your energy) steady.
At Mind & Body Solutions, we take a functional wellness approach to diabetes that focuses on uncovering root causes, restoring balance, and helping you feel in control of your health again.
Understanding the Functional Perspective on Diabetes
Diabetes isn’t just about blood sugar, it’s about how your body handles energy, stress, inflammation, and toxins. Functional medicine looks deeper to identify what’s driving imbalances, such as:
- Insulin resistance and inflammation
- Hormonal or adrenal stress
- Poor gut health affecting metabolism
- Nutrient deficiencies and mitochondrial dysfunction
Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, we personalize care through advanced lab testing, nutrition, and targeted therapies to support your metabolism and overall wellness.
How to Navigate the Holidays Without the Crash
The holidays don’t have to derail your health goals. Try these functional strategies to enjoy the season mindfully:
- Start your day with protein – balances blood sugar and keeps cravings in check.
- Choose real food first – fill your plate with veggies, healthy fats, and lean protein before sweets.
- Stay hydrated – dehydration can mimic hunger and affect glucose levels.
- Manage stress – mindfulness, breathing, or even short walks help reduce cortisol spikes.
- Prioritize sleep – poor sleep can raise blood sugar and trigger cravings.
Small, consistent choices add up; and we can help you understand what your body truly needs to thrive.
