Decoding hypoglycemia: Is it insulin resistance or dysautonomia?
Is your low blood sugar a symptom of insulin resistance or mild dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system?
In this episode, Lara returns to the topic of hypoglycemia to discuss:
- the difference between insulin resistance and dysautonomia,
- why unstable blood sugar does not automatically mean insulin resistance, and
- her concerns about continuous glucose monitoring.

    I was on a journey to regulate my nervous system following the principles of psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology and added some brain retrainning and good nutrition to It like some people do with other chronic desease-symptoms-syndroms and I am glad to say that I do not have invalidatings symptoms. It took me almost 2 years but I did It. I don't need to take any anti-inflamatories or analgesics anymore. Nervous system regulation is a HUUUGE key. Please learn about It

    My endo symptoms appeared postpartum with my first when I was 33. I later started having anaphylactic reactions and was diagnosed with idiopathic anaphylaxis. After excision surgery (I was stage4) my histamine issues disappeared. I’ve always known there was an immune link! My allergists never agreed or had any knowledge about it but this is validating. Most medical professionals are in the dark when it comes to endometriosis, in my experience. Can’t wait for more information to be discovered.

      Yes, 80mL or about five tablespoons is the acceptable max for menstrual fluid lost over all the days of the bleed. Of course, some women lose as much as 400mL, which is not good.

    I can relate to everything you say in this video. High protein + my binaural meditation music resolved life long issues of hypoglycemia (even below 40mg/dl) for me during day which led to intense fatigue and cravings of chocolate and sugar and esp. at night. I just found out through CGM that this had been the reason I woke up regularely at night. If I could give my younger self an advise it would be: "EAT LOTS OF HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN" and cravings of all kind will disappear like magic!

  • @hannahmulligan1103

    Could you provide your opinion on suppository (rectal) progesterone? I have read that rectal progesterone is better absorbed. Levels of progesterone are higher and stay higher for longer than with oral progesterone. Most of the progesterone ingested orally is broken down by the liver. This by-passes the breakdown of progesterone by the liver. Thus, less negative symptoms (fatigue, tearfulness, food cravings) are experienced. The only issue is less pregnanalone is produced. Some of the health benefits would be lessened and possibly lost. I'd really like to know the breakdown - the pros and cons of taking one over the other. IM progesterone is another way to bypass the breakdown of progesterone from the liver. If two can be combined (oral and suppository).

    This does not surprise me as I have endometriosis and many other autoimmune issues, allergies etc. In my late 20's ( I am now 44) I cut out all gluten, dairy and refined sugar and I have stuck to this. I don't eat rubbish gluten free alternatives though which are often just as inflammatory, I eat quite low carb and very few grains at all. Meat and lots of vegetables and some pulses, nuts, olives etc I don't drink alcohol since my early 30's either. It has not cured the endometriosis but has helped massively and I have not had any type of surgery for it. Prior to doing that I was off work for 2/3 days, bedridden shouting out in pain like I was in full blown labour, that is honestly what the cramps were like. I still have quite painful cramps but nowhere near to this level and only on day 1.

    I realise this is an older video, but I just had to comment. I have a confirmed inflammatory autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis, caused by being HLAB27+. Other members of my family have other HLA diseases, coeliacs for example (and many others in distant relatives). I've always been convinced that my endometriosis was autoimmune or linked to the immune system simply because it makes sense in my body and with my family history and my genetics.

    No... PCOS is NOT "an umbrella term like IBS" that "just means you have high androgen levels when all other conditions are ruled out..." 🤦‍♀️ That's so vague and invalidating and completely disregards the fact that there is literally a list of necessary diagnostic criteria for the condition, and both androgen levels AND ultrasound results are on it! (So yes, doctors absolutely CAN - and DO - use ultrasounds to confirm a PCOS diagnosis! Just because you ALSO need a full bloodwork analysis to rule out other conditions doesn't mean the ultrasound is any less valid! 😑) What the title/intro to this video SHOULD say is that PCOS "cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound ALONE," since there are TWO parts to the process, one of them BEING the ultrasound, and that distinction matters! High androgen levels are a SYMPTOM of PCOS, not the root cause of it! For anyone else who's here to try and learn more about their own diagnosis, here's a link to a video that (IMO) explained it a lot better: th-cam.com/video/As4V7KyErZw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GjQjjLIzj8Xqpmyd

    Finally diagnosed in 1984 after 22 doctors telling me it was in my head. I passed out twice from the pain. Had a laparoscopy and it returned 4 years later. Only pain meds were offered which I took until going to a naturopath who stopped it in its track. Pain free until I went back to the old diet. Each case seems to be unique. Mine hit me every 2nd month 1 week after menstruation. Ovary attached to bowel caused bowel to spasm and send uterine contractions.
