🆘 PMS hitting harder lately? This could be the cause

Ever feel totally fine one minute… and irritable, anxious, or emotional the next?

You’re not being dramatic.

And no, it’s never just PMS or “being sensitive.”

This kind of mood swing is often a sign your blood sugar is crashing behind the scenes.

Here’s the part no one talks about:

When blood sugar drops suddenly, your brain sees it as a threat.

It sets off an internal alarm, triggering anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and low mood.

And it happens fast.

TOOL Of The Week: Food Swap – Protein Balls > Granola Bars  

Most bars marketed as “healthy” are actually sugar bombs. Try protein balls made with nut butter, seeds, cinnamon, and collagen for a balanced, blood-sugar-friendly option.

Blood Sugar-Stabilizing Protein Balls

Makes ~12 balls

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour (or finely ground oats)

• 1/2 cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter—no added sugar)

• 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed (adds fiber + omega-3s)

• 1–2 scoops collagen peptides or unflavored protein powder (choose one with no added sugar or sweeteners - my favorite COLLAGEN & PROTEIN DUO!)

• 1–2 Tbsp chia seeds (fiber + blood sugar buffer)

• 1–2 tsp cinnamon (helps support insulin sensitivity)

• 1–2 Tbsp raw cacao nibs or 70–85% dark chocolate chips (optional for crunch + antioxidants)

• 1–2 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional—but keep it minimal for blood sugar balance)

• 1–2 Tbsp water or unsweetened milk alternative of choice (to help bind if needed)

• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Add nut butter and sweetener (if using), then stir to combine.

3. Add water/almond milk slowly until the mixture sticks together easily.

4. Roll into ~1-inch balls.

5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week—or freeze for longer.

💡 Blood Sugar Tip: Eat 1–2 balls as a snack with a hard-boiled egg or a few almonds for added protein/fat if needed—or enjoy one pre-workout with a scoop of collagen in your coffee or smoothie.
