Manage Blood Sugar Naturally
Manage Blood Sugar Naturally
The easiest way to manage blood sugar naturally is to decrease your sugar intake. Look at the ingredients and find foods that are low in sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and modified corn starch. Even “natural” forms of sugar are still sugar and will affect your blood levels. Check out the Fooducate app to scan foods at the grocery store to learn about their quality and how much sugar they contain.
Here are more simple ways to manage blood sugar naturally:
Eat breakfast every day with protein
By eating breakfast every day with a source of protein, you can balance your glucose and have the energy to do the things you love. You’re less likely to be hungry or reach for sugary snack slater in the day. Getting at least 15 grams of protein a couple of times a day can stabilize your blood sugar and even help improve your sleep. Four ounces of cottage cheese or a half-cup of almonds are examples of how you can get to 15 grams of protein pretty quickly. Other great protein sources include quinoa, beans, lean meats, nuts, seeds, yogurt and eggs.

5 ways to Improve Sleep Naturally
Here are 5 ways to improve sleep naturally. Learn to decrease insomnia, improve energy, and feel better every day. Remember it is important to identify the cause of why you may be having interrupted or poor sleep by speaking with a physician.
Stress Management
Recognizing stress and your response to stress is an important step to improve sleep naturally. Excess stress due to work, school, financial, or even health-related stress can increase your cortisol levels. Increased cortisol levels can negatively affect the quality and consistency of sleep. Over time this can affect blood sugar elevation and weight gain. Mind body medicine techniques, acupuncture, and massage are great ways to help deal with stress.

Natural Anxiety Treatment in Seattle
Natural Anxiety Treatment in Ballard, Seattle
Naturopathic Physicians are uniquely capable of supporting patients with natural anxiety treatment methods as primary care physicians. Utilizing the same methods for assessing anxiety, providing appropriate referrals to counselors, but also integrating several areas of medicine to treat a patient holistically from the beginning.
At Rebel Med Northwest, licensed Naturopathic Physicians counsel patients about understanding their anxiety triggers. We help patients re-establish the mind body connection and create an environment for a patient to recover from periods of anxiety, or acute stressors to the nervous system. This allows the person to recover from the negative consequences that chronic or traumatic stress has on the body over time including digestive deregulation, weight gain, headaches, fatigue, and much more.
Chiropractic Alternative
Chiropractic vs Naturopathic Manipulation
Naturopathic Physicians can mobilize the spine using naturopathic manipulations similar to chiropractic techniques. Dr. Andrew Simon, & Dr. Kathy Severson at Rebel Med NW in Ballard provide a wide range of treatment options including, manual manipulation, therapeutic stretching, activator technique, drop table techniques, pelvic blocking, active release techniques and more. A difference in philosophy guides naturopathic physicians who aim to resolve the root cause of the structural imbalance, and to minimize the force and frequency of spinal manipulations. A Naturopathic Physician has the unique integration of care for patients because we are able to order imaging, prescribe medications, and perform manipulations on the spine.
