GESTATIONAL DIABETES | A secret weapon for balanced blood sugar: vitamin D

Are you ready for one of the biggest secret weapons in your blood sugar balancing repertoire?

Of course you are.

But first a hot tip - flip your mushrooms upside down and take them outside.
Listen to the ep to find out why.

Anyway, back to the secret weapon.

It's vitamin D.

Are you excited?!

I am. But if you're not, did you know that vitamin D actually seems to have a pretty big role in gestational diabetes?

As always, I was kind of floored at the amount of research there is into this.
There seem to be a number of different mechanisms going on that support balanced blood sugar, and there is growing evidence that deficiency, or insufficiency (sub optimal levels) can increase risk of negative outcomes.

Optimising your levels may support better blood sugar, better blood cholesterol and better outcomes for bub.

This episode gives you the full details and the info on what you need to know to make sure you're getting enough. And I promise I explain the mushroom thing.
