What is hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia is a low blood sugar condition. It can happen due to an overreaction of insulin (insulin is responsible for controlling the blood sugar levels in the body). When insulin is spiked too much or too fast in the body, it can drop the sugar too low. 

What causes hypoglycemia?
A few of the main causes behind hypoglycemia are sugar and refined carbohydrates.

Hypoglycemia symptoms:

• Headaches
• Stomach noise
• Brain fog
• Irritability 
• Craving sweets
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Moodiness
• Paranoia
• Fatigue
• Fear

In most cases, the worst thing you can do if you have hypoglycemia is consume sugar. A few foods that can have hidden sources of carbs and sugars are juices, fruits, grains, starches, plain yogurt, and wine. 

A few things you can do if you have hypoglycemia:

• Berberine (an ancient Chinese herb)
• Nutritional yeast
• High potassium foods (7-10 cups of vegetables per day) 
• Exercise
• Protein breakfast
