Do you experience food cravings, afternoon energy crashes, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, irritability, and/or trouble sleeping? These could be signs that your body is struggling to balance your blood sugar levels.

Balancing blood sugar is important for everyone - not just those diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes. When our blood sugar is balanced, it helps our body maintain optimal function. And when it's not balanced, it can be the root cause of many chronic conditions.

In this class, we'll talk about what happens in the body when blood sugar is out of balance and learn how to balance our blood sugar using whole foods and lifestyle modifications.

Hosted by: Kristin Kinnie, MScN and NUNM Alumni, (full bio below).

Ticket will be available soon.
