Here is a question I received this week from Emily: “I have suffered for many years with hypoglycemia symptoms. But this past year I suffered from a breakdown of my health brought on by high physical and emotional stress. I have not been able to fully recover and still find myself having to eat every …
Here is a question I received this week from Gina. “I have a disease called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as well as hypoglycemia. Together they make me feel most days like I’m going crazy. If I follow a really restricted diet called the auto immune protocol, I have no aches and pains and sleep a little bit …
Most experts on hypoglycemia recommend you should eat 6 – 8 small meals a day to keep your blood sugar stable. I have always disagreed with this. I believe it’s best to eat just three meals a day. If you really can’t go between lunch and dinner without eating, then have a small snack in …
This is the third installment of the three-part series giving you some ideas about what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, for dinner, the same basic principles apply as for lunch. You should eat a generous portion of meat, fish or chicken – or if you are vegetarian you can have a good …
This is a follow up to yesterday’s post in which I outlined some suggestions for breakfast. For lunch, you should have a moderate portion of meat, fish or chicken… or if you are vegetarian a good serving of protein such as cheese or eggs (if you didn’t have eggs for breakfast).

After many years of suffering with this terrible mental health issue, Michael eventually found a doctor who advised him to give up sugar, caffeine and alcohol. This wise doctor understood the link between mental …
Something I’ve discovered through my own research into hypoglycemia is that many common prescription medications – like painkillers, antibiotics, sleeping pills (particularly bad) anti-inflammatories etc – can have major affects on your blood sugar. So, if you are regularly taking any medications, there’s a strong chance they could be causing or contributing to your hypoglycemia. …
There are some diet experts who recommend the ‘Stone Age’ diet or variations thereof. They believe we should eat protein, vegetables and fruit, essentially, and that eating grains is not the way we were ‘designed’ to eat. At first glance, this argument might seem to have some merit. But when you think about it more …
Let me start of by saying that I love Americans. It’s a fantastic country and the people are great. But for me, coming from New Zealand, one thing about Americans’ approach to diet seems very strange. Most of the readers of my blog and e-book are American. And a very common question I get asked …
