There is a silent epidemic happening to women everywhere: hormonal balance is being destroyed, millions of people suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, painful/heavy/difficult periods, fibroid and more conditions arising that women of older generation have not experienced.
Your woman code is your endocrine system. It's the way your female body operates. To understand your woman code is to understand how your body works from a deeply functional level. If you are worried about your fertility and it seems like many women around you are struggling to conceive, it's not all in your head. If your are in your twenties, thirties or forties and your libido is MIA, you're not own your own either. I want you to know that when you decode your own physiology, you're able to help your body heal and use that body to create the life you desire.
I will elaborate on these points episode by episode. Achieving stable blood sugar level us an ongoing process that occurs throughout your day and with a stagedy it becomes a habit, you will feel great morning to night.
Junk food, or foods high in sugar stimulate the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin's job is to lower blood sugar, by moving it into cells to be used for energy, or stored for later use. We store sugar for energy in two ways. Sugar can be converted to fat, or in the liver as glycogen. Fat is a long term energy reserve. Glycogen is more easily used, and is the first place we our body goes for energy when we have not eaten for a few hours.
Cortisol is insulin's counterpart. Among many other functions, cortisol takes sugar stored in the liver (glycogen) and puts it into the blood stream. To keep things simple, insulin lowers blood sugar, and cortisol raises blood sugar.
This is what may sound confusing at first. When insulin goes up to lower blood sugar, cortisol goes up as well. It may sound odd. Why would the body raise cortisol, which increases blood sugar, at the same time insulin is going up to lower blood sugar?
The answer is in the very complex way the body precisely regulates itself. Too much insulin will lower blood sugar too much. This is called hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) . So when insulin goes up, cortisol goes up a little also. This is not to raise blood sugar, but to make sure insulin does not drop blood sugar too much. Having these knowledge, it's advisable to have a good diet plan. Containg more sugar during our active hours and less during our relaxation periods.
