Coffee doesn’t just wake you up. It can also trigger a stress response in the body, releasing cortisol and spiking blood sugar levels similar to sugar itself. Over time, this can impact insulin sensitivity and play a role in diabetes risk. ☕

Ray Peat on diabetes, cortisol, sugar, and protein: "I saw that several of the amino acids in proteins are powerful insulin stimulants. When you eat protein by itself, you stimulate insulin secretion, which is needed to metabolize the amino acids. In reaction to the insulin, your liver has to put out glucose to keep your blood sugar going, so your brain, blood cells, kidneys, and so on can keep working. If your liver is somewhat low on glycogen, then every time you eat protein and have an insulin secretion, your body secretes a compensating amount of cortisol to bring your blood sugar back up. However, the cortisol brings your blood sugar up at the expense of protein. Cortisol first breaks down tissues like the thymus gland, immune cells, and muscles. If you eat lots of protein, despite the high cortisol, you can maintain a balance by replacing your muscles and thymus gland, but you are running on constantly high cortisol secretion. In my previous interest in diabetes, I saw that doctors often neglected to measure hormones related to blood sugar when prescribing insulin. Doctors would call a person diabetic and say they needed to take insulin for life. But by testing cortisol in some of these individuals, we saw that many so-called diabetics just had very high cortisol. Sugar happens to be the best thing for lowering cortisol to normal. Since high cortisol can give the impression of diabetes by causing high blood sugar, you get the unexpected effect of lowering cortisol when you eat sugar. Some of these people had a very quick recovery from their so-called diabetes."

"When You Look At A Bowl Of Pasta, Just Look At It Like A Snickers Bar." Candi Frazier, BCHN It's not just cane sugar in the Snickers bar that's now in your blood... It's the basmati rice, the white potatoes, the french fries, the boiled spaghetti noodles...those are all sugar. It's the same sugar in your blood. When you eat this much sugar everyday at every meal, you throw your body's balance off & flood your body with insulin. Insulin is the master fat storing hormone. It preserves your fat. When insulin spikes & stays high, serious damage results, setting up a lifetime of illness & a life shortened prematurely. Heart and blood vessels: High blood sugar damages blood vessels & increases the risk of heart attack & stroke. Kidneys: High blood sugar can reduce the kidneys' ability to filter waste, which can lead to chronic kidney disease. Brain: High blood sugar damages blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to memory loss or stroke. Eyes: High blood sugar can lead to eye changes that can cause diabetic retinopathy, cataracts & glaucoma. Stomach: High blood sugar can damage nerves in the stomach, which can slow or stop digestion. Mouth: High blood sugar increases harmful bacteria, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Skin: High insulin levels cause darkened skin in the armpit, back & sides of the neck, a condition called acanthosis nigricans. Pancreas: High blood sugar can lead to pancreatic cancer. Feet: Poor blood flow & nerve damage can lead to foot ulcers, infections & amputation. Nerves: Damaged nerves can cause pain, burning, tingling, numbness & loss of feeling. 👇Carbohydrate Sugar Insulin Model👇 Video: Primal Bod

Losing weight is ridiculously easy in 2025. But if your insulin is high, your body can't burn fat. Ever worse? High insulin wrecks testosterone and quietly drives your blood pressure through the roof. Here are 6 ways to lower it naturally👇 1. Lower your carbohydrate intake Carbs break down into glucose the fastest, forcing your pancreas to pump out insulin to control the spike. When you reduce daily carb load, your blood sugar stays stable. Stable blood sugar = less insulin released = easier fat-burning mode 2. Walk after every meal (even inside the house) A 5-minute walk acts like a glucose sponge. Your muscles pull sugar out of your bloodstream for energy, which lowers the insulin needed to process that meal. Even slow indoor walking reduces post-meal glucose by up to 30% in some studies. 3. Eat protein & fat before carbs Protein and fat slow stomach emptying. When carbs hit your bloodstream more slowly, insulin rises gently instead of spiking. This “food order” trick can reduce the insulin response by 20–40% with the same exact meal. Crazy, right? 4. Fasting. When you’re not eating, your insulin drops. And the longer insulin stays low... The more your body shifts into burning stored fat for energy. Want to supercharge your fasting and knock down blood sugar faster? Berberine might help. It doesn’t simply lower blood sugar and insulin the “natural way”. It activates the enzyme AMP‑activated protein kinase (AMPK) — a fat-burn accelerator. Find it here (Black Friday Amazon Deals) 👇 I also created a FULL-GUIDE on how to use Berberine properly (even if you have never taken it before). Comment "Send" and I'll send it over. (must Follow so I can DM) 4. Strength training. Your muscles act like insulin sponges. The more muscle you have, the more glucose you can store without needing high insulin. Even a single strength workout can increase insulin sensitivity for up to 24–48 hours. 5. Get 7–8 hours of sleep. Poor sleep raises cortisol, and cortisol tells your body to pump out more glucose. More glucose = more insulin. Good sleep resets your hormones overnight and improves insulin sensitivity the next day by 20–30%. 6. Get enough sunlight. Sunlight triggers nitric oxide release in the skin, which helps improve glucose uptake. - Lowers cortisol - Reduces cravings - Stabilizing blood sugar - Sets your circadian rhythm More sunlight = lower insulin throughout the day. My DMs are always open for ANY questions you might have. Thanks for reading until the end, see you in the next one. *Every body works differently, this is not medical advice, just what worked on me." *Always consult a health expert before following any protocols." *Affiliate links included.*
