Decoding hypoglycemia: Is it insulin resistance or dysautonomia?
Is your low blood sugar a symptom of insulin resistance or mild dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system?
In this episode, Lara returns to the topic of hypoglycemia to discuss:
- the difference between insulin resistance and dysautonomia,
- why unstable blood sugar does not automatically mean insulin resistance, and
- her concerns about continuous glucose monitoring.

    Could you provide your opinion on suppository (rectal) progesterone? I have read that rectal progesterone is better absorbed. Levels of progesterone are higher and stay higher for longer than with oral progesterone. Most of the progesterone ingested orally is broken down by the liver. This by-passes the breakdown of progesterone by the liver. Thus, less negative symptoms (fatigue, tearfulness, food cravings) are experienced. The only issue is less pregnanalone is produced. Some of the health benefits would be lessened and possibly lost. I'd really like to know the breakdown - the pros and cons of taking one over the other. IM progesterone is another way to bypass the breakdown of progesterone from the liver. If two can be combined (oral and suppository).

    This does not surprise me as I have endometriosis and many other autoimmune issues, allergies etc. In my late 20's ( I am now 44) I cut out all gluten, dairy and refined sugar and I have stuck to this. I don't eat rubbish gluten free alternatives though which are often just as inflammatory, I eat quite low carb and very few grains at all. Meat and lots of vegetables and some pulses, nuts, olives etc I don't drink alcohol since my early 30's either. It has not cured the endometriosis but has helped massively and I have not had any type of surgery for it. Prior to doing that I was off work for 2/3 days, bedridden shouting out in pain like I was in full blown labour, that is honestly what the cramps were like. I still have quite painful cramps but nowhere near to this level and only on day 1.

    I realise this is an older video, but I just had to comment. I have a confirmed inflammatory autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis, caused by being HLAB27+. Other members of my family have other HLA diseases, coeliacs for example (and many others in distant relatives). I've always been convinced that my endometriosis was autoimmune or linked to the immune system simply because it makes sense in my body and with my family history and my genetics.

    No... PCOS is NOT "an umbrella term like IBS" that "just means you have high androgen levels when all other conditions are ruled out..." 🤦‍♀️ That's so vague and invalidating and completely disregards the fact that there is literally a list of necessary diagnostic criteria for the condition, and both androgen levels AND ultrasound results are on it! (So yes, doctors absolutely CAN - and DO - use ultrasounds to confirm a PCOS diagnosis! Just because you ALSO need a full bloodwork analysis to rule out other conditions doesn't mean the ultrasound is any less valid! 😑) What the title/intro to this video SHOULD say is that PCOS "cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound ALONE," since there are TWO parts to the process, one of them BEING the ultrasound, and that distinction matters! High androgen levels are a SYMPTOM of PCOS, not the root cause of it! For anyone else who's here to try and learn more about their own diagnosis, here's a link to a video that (IMO) explained it a lot better: ua-cam.com/video/As4V7KyErZw/v-deo.htmlsi=GjQjjLIzj8Xqpmyd

Only pain meds were offered which I took until going to a naturopath who stopped it in its track. Pain free until I went back to the old diet. Each case seems to be unique. Mine hit me every 2nd month 1 week after menstruation. Ovary attached to bowel caused bowel to spasm and send uterine contractions. Just plain painful and penetrative sex made me hit the roof as leisions all over ligaments Yes diet works

      For the scenario of reactive hypoglycemia from insulin resistance (when intermittent fasting might be desired to improve insulin sensitivity), the best strategy is to first work to improve metabolic flexibility (with strategies I discuss in my new metabolism book) and only then attempt gentle intermittent fasting. Thus, hopefully avoiding the episodes of low blood sugar that could occur with fasting in the metabolically inflexible state.

    Rewatching and I'm glad to hear some research was done on this! I've had this issue since infancy and sometimes I still struggle. At the time, I found it hard to understand and was mostly inferring a lot from the other information available even when there was nothing that covered my situation directly. It caused me to be overweight as a kid because I was "eating when I was hungry" but not enough protein, so I was often hungry and agitated. My blood pressure ended up really low when I was pregnant. During the glucose tolerance test, I felt fine. They stopped at 2h as they do. I left and went on with my day and suddenly felt so absolutely awful at 3h (shaking, sweating, weakness) that I had to have a coke as that was available in the moment. I literally thought I was going to fall over within seconds, it was horrible. But all my tests come back normal (glucose, insulin, etc.) so I've had to try solve it myself. Protein and nutrients help a lot but I always thought it was an autonomic thing... now in perimenopause I feel like there are other factors now too. My body feels stressed and I don't know why, I've also gained weight and can't lose it despite activity. I am relieved to have no insulin resistance. I loved the Metabolism Repair book - what a treasure! My bloods came back normal so I'm going to try adding Chinese Medicine to encompass all the stuff going on. Thanks for covering this topic ❤

    I really dislike all the hypothetical scenarios. We need definitive answers. I tried gluten free for two years and dairy free for 3 at the same time. I got way way worse. This disease has so much to do with immune system modulation. I believe it’s to do with an underlying MCAS. This condition gets triggered and gets worse with time. Yes it maybe related to bacterial infection or even a parasite infection. But all the maybes don’t help unfortunately. It’s not genetic but perhaps a microbial I wish there was more research into this, it’s almost like it’s on purpose that there is no research on it. Women are paying thousands and spending their entire lives from one doctor to the next plus fertility treatments etc. what a cracking money maker. I don’t know if this is something to look at but I think there maybe progesterone antibody involvement 🤷‍♀️ I could be wrong but I believe so many of us are allergic to progesterone that maybe where the immune response is coming from. I developed my symptoms very young right after a tetanus shot. Again it maybe not related. But the same tetanus shot was implicated in the hcg that was found in them in Kenya, Philippines and Africa. Who knows where else? We need immunology to look into this. It’s not a hormonal issue, it’s immune issue.

After lots of documenting what I do/ ingest, as I suspect its a chemistry set not a mechanical defect as the drs push cpap machines as one size fits all. 😞 Estrogen low dose gel and l -citrulline are proving to be the holy grail for this problem. Estrogen tanking (after estrogen dominance) and lack of nitric oxide. I work hard on my stubborn insulin resistance too. But am managing it. Its been hard for me because I am anti HRT. But the proof is inthe results. Hope this helps others. Also just adding I wouldn't have even known except I started wearing my smart watch while sleeping. It has saved my life. Highly recommend change of lifers doing this.
