Just in time for Mother’s Day, Laury, our holistic nutritionist is sending over her sound nutritional advice along with the happy holiday wishes!’
The Fit in Your Genes program nutritional focus is key to our success. The blood sugar and hormonal stabilization are important strategies that work in both genders. However, women especially benefit from the normalization of blood sugar. Women are more prone to the issues caused by fluctuating sugar levels due to less lean body mass and higher visceral adiposity as compared to men. Both of these anatomical differences make the impact of blood sugar more prominent. In fact, among diabetic patients with heart issues, women tend to fare far worse than men. So, as you are celebrating, remember that a lot less sugar will give you a lot more health!
