We recently covered food allergies and the dietary choices that make your hormones the happiest. We’re going to round out our nutritional plan by discussing two important concepts, blood sugar stability, and what it means to choose “high quality” foods. Making dietary choices that stabilize your blood sugar is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

Is your head spinning yet? With all the information flying around about food – high or low carb, high or low fat, pro or anti carcinogenic, pro or anti inflammatory, synthetic or natural, organic, grass-fed, pesticide free, GMO – how do you make sense of it all? No doubt, dietary information can be dizzying.

Finding a good approach to your diet works best by following some general, baseline principles. If we keep these in mind, wading through the weeds of health information to find the truly good stuff becomes much easier.

There are four areas I typically cover when getting a patient on the right dietary track: Food Allergies, Glandular Dominance, Blood Sugar Stability, and Food Quality. We’ll start with food allergies, and cover the rest in upcoming articles.
