The power of electrolytes is HUGE! Great call out. On one of our recent meetups on food, I was going to ask a question if the right segue would have presented itself. If I have food that is huge carbs like a ramen bomb, I find that my blood sugar can absolutely crash a couple hours later and I feel very very off. I do not have diabetes and am not taking anything for blood sugar, but rather this happens naturally. I’m curious how many others can relate to this.

Yes electrolytes are SO important! Hmm interesting...haven't heard that about the carbs and ramen bombs in our meetups - but we will have to bring that up!
