When blood sugar goes too low or too high, your cells may not get steady fuel. This can lead to poor energy, brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, and slower healing.

Dr. Hugh explains why the blood sugar “sweet spot” is important for people with chronic illness, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, gut problems, thyroid problems, and people recovering from antibiotic damage.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why blood sugar matters for mitochondrial health
  • How low blood sugar can create stress in the body
  • How high blood sugar can cause inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Why stable blood sugar may improve energy and focus
  • Why Dr. Hugh likes the blood sugar range of 85 to 120
  • How a continuous glucose monitor can help find hidden blood sugar problems
  • Why blood sugar is one of the “low-hanging fruits” in healing
  • How poor blood sugar control may slow recovery
  • Why anemia and low blood pressure also matter for healing

Dr. Hugh also shares a real client example showing how eating more consistently helped improve sleep and energy. He explains how tracking blood sugar can reveal patterns that regular testing may miss. 

Key takeaway:

If your blood sugar is going too high or too low, your mitochondria may struggle to make energy. Before spending money on advanced therapies, it is important to check the basics first.
