For today’s entry I wanted to inform you of two new educational pieces on our website.  Both of these came out of our recent Nutrition & Diabetes webinar, which will be repeated November 1st.  The first is a sample menu for blood sugar control – in our original slide handout it was way too small to read so we decided to make it available online for webinar attendees and any others who need ideas for healthy menus.  Sample menu for blood sugar control.

After the webinar ended we had a few technical difficulties with our Q&A session so decided to take questions via e-mail for several days afterward.  This method ended up working perfectly because we were able to easily post the written questions and answers on the website in order to share them with all of you!  From now on – even when we don’t have technical difficulties – I would like to post portions of our Q&A sessions that may apply to many of you out there so that even if you weren’t able to attend the webinar, you can benefit. Nutrition and Blood Sugar Webinar Q & A.

It’s homework time!  I’m posting this blog entry as a place for people to share what they have added to or changed in their lifestyles as a result of what we talked about during the Nutrition and Blood Sugar webinar.  I can’t tell you how excited I am about this topic!  From our past seminars here at MFC I do know that the people who choose to attend these events tend to be pretty excited about the topics and ask some great (and sometimes entertaining) questions.  So I’m sure the comments that end up posted here will be useful for all of us!

So please, take a minute to share what you’re doing.  And if you missed the webinar feel free to participate anyway.  We plan to somehow make the information available through the website, either by repeating the session at a later date or by having it available for download.  Check back often at www.marilynfarms.com to see what’s happening!

In three short weeks, I will be teaching a webinar (online seminar for you non-webbies) on blood sugar. This subject is so huge that I could probably teach on it for eight hours straight. When I realize that I only have an hour of your attention I get into editing and prioritizing mode.

When most of us think of blood sugar, we think of diseases – like diabetes since it can be a life and death issue for a person dealing with the illness. But there is so much more to blood sugar than that! It is a topic that applies to every single one of us living in today’s world of processed foods and readily available junk who need to learn how to make choices that keep our bodies balanced.

Many health practitioners believe that erratic blood sugar is the cause of accelerated aging and disease. I know for a fact that the fatigue so many of us deal with daily (though it has been good business for coffee shops) has a lot to do with a lack of blood sugar control. Uncontrolled blood sugar is also a major impediment to maintaining a healthy weight and preserving muscle mass.

Needless to say, it will be an hour jam-packed with information, along with my super funny and sometimes lame jokes. There is nothing stranger than the feeling of telling a biochemistry joke (yes, the best jokes of all!) while staring at my computer and knowing that 50+ people are on the other end of that computer and I can’t tell if they’re laughing or crying. Oh well, I just hope I don’t talk too fast. Click here to register for the excitement, or go to marilynfarms.com and click on the promo piece next to the specials.
