#1 BEST SUPPLEMENT for BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES!
Blood sugar spikes can totally ruin your day! You eat some carbs and your blood sugars go through the roof, then come crashing down past where you started leaving you ‘hangrier’ than ever. In this video I compare two supplements – psyllium fiber and Level Off – to see which one does a better job controlling your sugars. Spoiler alert! One of the supplements almost completely eradicates blood sugars like they were never there. Plus, at the end of the video I give you three lessons I learned while experimenting with a continuous glucose monitor for two weeks. These three lessons will help you become an expert in avoiding blood sugars spikes, and may be enough for you to avoid getting diabetes or pre-diabetes.

00:00 Best supplement for reducing blood sugar spikes
00:33 Fiber works by creating a sponge-like matrix in the intestines, slowing sugar absorption and reducing blood sugars. Two studies published in major journals show the power of fiber to reduce blood sugars by up to 60%
02:30 Level Off is a combination of mulberry seed extract, citrus extract and cinnamon. Mulberry seed extract can lower blood sugars by up to 20% and works by inhibiting a key enzyme for carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
03:43 We look at a graph of a blood sugar spike and explain why it makes you “hangry”.
04:45 Competition rules: Which supplement does a better job smoothing out the blood sugars after ¾ cup of rice? This test is based on the standard test for diagnosing diabetes.
05:25 Fiber completely flattened the rise in blood sugars at a dose of 10 grams, with a significant effect on blood sugars for up to 4 hours.
06:57 Level Off (mulberry, citrus, cinnamon) had a modest effect at 2 capsules, but a pretty impressive effect with 4 capsules before the rice meal.
08:03 The winner is…Fiber! Both work for lowering blood sugar spikes, but fiber had a greater reduction in blood sugars and has many other health benefits.
09:14 Three Lessons from 2 weeks on a Glucose Monitor. Lesson 1: Don’t eat too many carbs! Doubling the dose of rice led to a significant rise in blood sugars to the diabetic range. Fiber did lower the blood sugars by about 50% in this experiment.
10:46 Lesson 2: Stress can really cause your blood sugars to spike. I show you what an ‘artificial’ stress reaction does to my blood sugars (hint: it’s way worse than rice).
11:24 Lesson 3: A Keto/Paleo Diet is amazing for your blood sugars. In this test I find that a day on Paleo has the same blood sugars as when I fasted for the day. No spikes at all!
