How sugar causes cravings and insulin resistance:
Dr. Teitelbaum

March 5, 2023

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum is a nationally known expert in the USA in the fields of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sleep, and pain.

His own personal story is touching and inspiring, and in this episode he tells about his own health struggles.

Dr. Teitelbaum also talks about 4 major sources of cravings:

  1. low energy
  2. feeling irritable when hungry ("hangry") - low blood sugar
  3. candida or yeast overgrowth
  4. menopause/hormones that trigger anxiety & depression

We also talk about insulin resistance on a cellular level, and he explains how blood sugar and insulin work, and how insulin is involved with fat storage, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, low blood sugar, mood swings,  cortisol, and adrenal fatigue.

There is no "one size fits all"  approach, but his (and my!) conclusion is this:
Eat real whole foods that are nutrient dense and that don't spike your insulin.
