Although hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) is often overlooked in mainstream medicine, Systematic Kinesiology recognises it as a subtle yet impactful imbalance that can influence our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Let’s explore the chain reaction and uncover what your body might be trying to tell you.

What Really Happens When We Eat Sugar

We’ve all heard that “sugar gives you energy”, and it’s technically true—for a moment. But what goes up must come down:

• • Sugar and simple carbs spike blood glucose quickly.

• • The body releases insulin to lower this spike.

• • After the crash, many of us feel tired, jittery, foggy or irritable.

Over time, repeated highs and lows begin to confuse the body. The pancreas and adrenal glands—vital in blood sugar regulation—get overworked. Eventually, this can lead to deeper imbalances like insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, or symptoms of chronic exhaustion.

Symptoms That Might Surprise You

You don’t need to be diabetic to experience symptoms of low blood sugar. And they’re not just physical:
