Energy: 3 Hidden Energy Drains


Energy Drain #1: Blood Sugar Rollercoaster

The Problem

  • Think of your energy like a rollercoaster — up fast, down even faster. That’s what happens when you eat carbs or sugar without the right balance.”
  • Symptoms: mid-morning crash, afternoon slump, mood swings, constant snacking, caffeine dependence.
  • Why it matters: Spikes and crashes stress your adrenal system, impact hormones, and drain brain energy.


Quick Fixes

  1. Anchor breakfast with protein → eggs, protein smoothie, Greek yogurt.
  2. Never eat carbs alone → pair fruit, crackers, or oatmeal with protein/fat.
  3. Meal timing → avoid going 5–6 hours between meals.
  4. Hydration matters → dehydration worsens glucose swings.


2. Energy Drain #2: Stress Hormones on Overdrive

The Problem

  • Chronic stress = constant cortisol, which disrupts circadian rhythm and leaves you wired at night, tired in the morning.
  • Common signs:
  • Trouble falling asleep or waking at 3 AM.
  • Feeling like you “can’t relax.”
  • Needing caffeine to push through the day.

Quick Fixes

  1. 2-minute reset techniques:
  • 4-7-8 breathing (inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8).
  • Box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4).
  • Step outside for natural light reset.
  1. Caffeine cutoff: no caffeine after 11 a.m. → reduces sleep disruption.
  2. Transition time: add a 10–15 min ritual after work — walk, stretch, journal, or music.
  3. Sleep hygiene: no screens 60 minutes before bed, magnesium bath/tea, dim lights.


3. Energy Drain #3: Nutrient Deficiencies

The Problem

  • Modern diets, stress, and medications lead to depletion.
  • Common deficiencies linked to fatigue:
  • Iron/ferritin: low oxygen delivery = tired muscles, brain fog.
  • Magnesium: poor sleep, muscle cramps, anxiety.
  • B vitamins: essential for mitochondrial energy production.
  • Vitamin D: low levels = fatigue, immune issues, mood swings.


Quick Fixes

  1. Iron boost: red meat, lentils, spinach + pair with vitamin C.
  2. Magnesium foods: pumpkin seeds, almonds, leafy greens. (Supplements: glycinate for calm, citrate for digestion).
  3. B vitamins: eggs, beef, salmon, leafy greens.
  4. Protein foundation: aim for 1g protein per pound of lean body weight (tie back to your Protein Guide).

Blood Sugar: Late Night Bites & Blood Sugar-What to Eat (and Avoid) Before Bed for Better Glucose & Better Sleep

Late Night Bites & Blood Sugar: What to Eat (and Avoid) Before Bed for Better Glucose & Better Sleep

  • 1. Why Nighttime Blood Sugar MattersThe body follows a circadian rhythm that regulates hormones like insulin and cortisol. At night, insulin sensitivity decreases, making it harder to process carbs effectively.


  • If blood sugar rises too high from a late meal or crashes too low during fasting, it can disrupt deep sleep stages.


  • Glucose spikes at night lead to increased inflammation, poor recovery, and next-day fatigue or cravings.


  • Morning glucose and fasting insulin often reflect what happened the night before—your last meal plays a big role.


2. The Science of Eating Before Bed

  • At night, digestion slows down because the parasympathetic nervous system shifts toward rest and repair. Food sits longer in the stomach, leading to prolonged blood sugar elevation.


  • The pancreas is less efficient at releasing insulin late in the day, so your body has a harder time clearing glucose from the bloodstream.


  • Blood sugar dips in the middle of the night may trigger the release of cortisol and adrenaline—leading to waking up anxious, sweaty, or wide awake.


  • Eating high glycemic foods before bed (like cereal or dessert) leads to a rollercoaster effect—glucose spike → crash → poor sleep.



3. What NOT to Eat Before Bed

  • High-carb/high-sugar snacks (cereal, pastries, crackers, wine) spike glucose rapidly and lead to overnight crashes.


  • Fruit alone, while healthy, is mostly simple carbs and doesn’t have enough fat or protein to stabilize blood sugar for several hours.


  • Dried fruit, granola bars, or wine seem like light snacks but are high in sugar or alcohol, which disrupts liver function and glucose stability.


  • These types of foods interfere with REM sleep, increase heart rate, and reduce your body’s ability to detox and repair overnight.


4. What to Eat Instead (With Examples)


Focus on slow-digesting combinations of protein, fat, and fiber. These stabilize glucose and reduce the chance of blood sugar crashes at 2–3 a.m.

Examples:

  • Greek yogurt + chia seeds or almonds: contains casein protein (slow-digesting), healthy fats, and fiber.


  • Hard-boiled egg + avocado: protein + fat with no blood sugar spike.


  • Turkey roll-ups with hummus: turkey contains tryptophan, which can support melatonin production.


  • Almond butter + low-carb cracker or celery: balances glucose and satisfies nighttime hunger without spiking insulin.


Timing Tip:

  • Aim to finish your last meal or snack about 2–3 hours before bed to avoid interference with digestion and melatonin production.


5. How to Know if Eating Before Bed is Right for You


Some people benefit from a bedtime snack—especially those with:

  • Reactive hypoglycemia


  • Adrenal dysfunction


  • Low cortisol in the evening


  • History of waking up between 1–3 a.m.


Common signs your blood sugar is dipping too low at night:

  • Waking up between 2–3 a.m. (when the liver is detoxing)


  • Feeling anxious, sweaty, or restless in the middle of the night


  • Difficulty falling back asleep


  • Morning fatigue, brain fog, or headaches


Others may not need a snack if:

  • They’re already insulin resistant


  • They're trying to extend overnight fasting for metabolic benefits


  • Their glucose stays stable overnight (check with CGM or testing)


6. Tools & Tracking

  • A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) provides real-time data on how food, stress, and sleep affect your glucose overnight.


  • Look for:


  • Overnight spikes above 130 mg/dL (or so)
  • Dips below 70 mg/dL


  • A “rollercoaster” pattern instead of a smooth curve


Alternatives:

  • Finger prick testing before bed and upon waking can help spot large changes.


  • Use a symptom journal to track:


  • What you ate before bed


  • Sleep quality


  • Time of night you wake up


  • Morning mood and energy


7. Key Takeaways

  • Eating the wrong foods before bed can raise glucose, disrupt sleep, and elevate cortisol.
  • For some people, a balanced snack before bed can help maintain glucose, especially those with adrenal or thyroid issues.
  • Stable blood sugar overnight supports:
  • Hormonal balance (cortisol, melatonin, insulin)
  • Fat burning
  • Deeper sleep
  • Improved energy and mood the next day

Lifestyle & Nutrition Basics: Why You’re Not Seeing Results with Thyroid & Hormone Healing (And What to Do Instead)

When Healing Feels Invisible: 5 Keys to Stay the Course with Thyroid & Hormone Imbalances


Healing Is NOT Linear — Why Progress Often Looks Like a Zigzag


Thyroid and hormone healing doesn’t follow a straight path. Most people expect a steady climb toward better energy, weight loss, and mood—but healing typically comes in *waves*. There may be flare-ups, symptom returns, or plateaus before real, sustainable changes take root.


Why this happens:


Hormones are interdependent. When you support thyroid function, it affects adrenal function, insulin, and sex hormones—which take time to recalibrate.

The body prioritizes foundational repair before superficial improvements (like fat loss or vibrant energy).


Ex: Someone starts eating better and sleeping more, but doesn’t lose weight for 2 months. Meanwhile, their digestive issues improve, cycle becomes more regular, and PMS lessens—those are real signs of healing.


Track weekly wins beyond the scale—energy, mood, digestion, less joint pain.

Create a healing timeline with milestones to look back and see how far you’ve come.

Give yourself 90-day checkpoints, not 1-week judgments.


2. Hidden Wins — What’s Getting Better Behind the Scenes


Not all healing is visible at first glance. When the body is depleted from chronic stress, inflammation, or underactive thyroid function, it starts restoring *internal systems* first—like liver detox, gut lining repair, or balancing cortisol.


Signs healing is happening under the surface:


* You recover faster from stress or illness.

* Bloating and constipation improve.

* Blood sugar swings reduce.

* You can go longer between meals.

* You feel calmer or less wired.


Many people give up right before things shift. Recognizing subtle shifts helps you trust your body and stay committed.


Use a weekly self-check survey

Did I have fewer sugar cravings?

Was my sleep deeper?

Did I experience fewer mood swings?

Take progress photos or mood logs instead of relying on just the scale or labs.


3. Data Over Drama — Use Biofeedback, Not Just Emotion, to Track Progress


Feelings fluctuate day to day—especially when hormones are out of balance. Some days you’ll feel energized, others exhausted. Relying only on how you “feel” can lead to discouragement and quitting too soon.


Instead, tracking biofeedback provides a grounded, objective way to measure what’s changing.


Key biofeedback markers to watch:


* Morning body temperature (thyroid health)

* Resting heart rate (stress/adrenals)

* Energy curve throughout the day (blood sugar & cortisol)

* Sleep quality (deep sleep and waking refreshed)

* Cravings and satiety



Use an app or simple daily tracker: ☐ Slept 7+ hrs ☐ Energy steady ☐ BMs ☐ Mood stable

Reframe the tough days: “This is feedback, not failure.”

Track one or two non-weight metrics consistently (e.g., digestion, energy, focus).


4. Stay Out of Comparison — Stay in Your Lane, Stay in Your Phase


You’re on a bio-individual path. Just because someone else saw quick results with keto, fasting, or a supplement doesn’t mean it’s right for you—especially if you’re in a rebuilding phase.


Comparison fuels self-doubt and derails your nervous system with stress hormones (like cortisol), which can stall healing further.

Comparing your phase 1 to someone else’s phase 4.

Following influencers who don’t understand thyroid/hormone nuance.

Feeling “behind” because results aren’t visible yet.


Unfollow accounts that trigger stress or self-doubt.

Replace comparison with curiosity: “What’s working *for me* right now?”

Set micro-goals like “Eat protein at every meal this week,” or “Get 3 strength sessions in.”


5. Anchor to Your WHY — And Build a Circle That Holds You to It


Motivation comes and goes. But a strong “why” acts like a compass, pulling you forward even when the results are slow or the journey is tough.


Having support—not just information—keeps you accountable, encouraged, and resilient when your faith in the process wavers.


Examples:

“I want to wake up with energy for my kids.”

“I don’t want to feel like I’m surviving day to day anymore.”

“I want to trust my body again.”


Create a visual reminder (vision board, phone lock screen, sticky note).

Join a group or program where people understand the healing process.

Check in weekly with yourself or a coach: “Am I living in alignment with my goals?”

Use a mantra like: “I am healing, even when it doesn’t feel like it.”

Importance of Magnesium

Involved in over 300 reactions in the body such as:

  • Muscle relaxation
  • Methyl done (MTHFR)

  • Can be hard on gut health
  • Not recommended in most situations

Magnesium Citrate

  • Has laxative properties
  • Draws water into the GI Tract
  • Stays in GI Tract
  • Can increase total Mg stores
