If you've listened to our podcast, you know I'm obsessed with teaching people how to keep their blood sugar steady.

And for VERY good reason.

If you've been a member of the Paleovalley family for a while now, you know I always advocate stabilizing (and testing!) your blood sugar because...

High levels of blood sugar are downright dangerous.

In fact, chronically elevated levels can predispose you to heart disease, diabetes, mood issues, Alzheimer's, weight gain, and accelerated aging.

Did you know that 5 out of the 10 most violence-inducing medications are antidepressants?

When I read that my jaw hit the floor...

Nora Gedgaudas is a widely recognized expert on what is popularly referred to as the “Paleo diet”.

She is also the author of the best selling ebook: Rethinking Fatigue: What Your Adrenals Are Really Telling You and What You Can Do About It.

Nora is one smart cookie.
