Balance Your Blood Sugar Naturally: What Every Tired, Craving, and Foggy-Brained Person Should Know

 Two Whole Food Supplements That Can Help You Regain Control

If you’ve ever felt like you’re on a constant roller coaster of energy highs and crashes, sugar cravings that seem impossible to resist, or brain fog that sets in after meals—you’re not alone.

Blood sugar imbalances are one of the most common and overlooked issues we see at Optimal Whole Health & Nutrition. And left unchecked, they can lead to fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and even chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes.

But here’s the good news: natural solutions do exist—and they don’t come with harsh side effects or quick fixes that wear off. Let’s talk about two whole food-based supplements from Standard Process that we’ve seen make a big difference for our clients.

Chromium Complex: Fuel Your Cells the Right Way
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that works like a spark plug for your metabolism. When your body doesn’t have enough, insulin can’t do its job properly—meaning your cells don’t get the fuel they need, and your blood sugar stays elevated longer than it should.

Chromium Complex is a clean, effective way to support:
  • Balanced blood sugar levels
  • Healthy carbohydrate metabolism
  • Consistent energy throughout the day
  • Antioxidant defense to reduce inflammation
This formula includes niacin, L-cysteine, and pancreas Cytosol™ extract to give your sugar-handling system the targeted support it needs to function at its best.

Diaplex®: Whole-Body Sugar Balance
Sometimes, blood sugar issues aren’t just about insulin. They’re about the entire system—your pancreas, adrenals, and liver all play critical roles. That’s where Diaplex® shines.

Made from a blend of whole food nutrients and glandular extracts, Diaplex helps:
  • Nourish the pancreas for healthy insulin production
  • Support the adrenals and liver (key players in sugar metabolism)
  • Reduce sugar cravings
  • Keep energy levels stable throughout the day
We love Diaplex for clients who are feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and constantly reaching for the next snack just to get through the afternoon.

Why Whole Food-Based Supplements?
Your body knows what real food looks like—and that’s what Standard Process delivers. These supplements are made with real, organic ingredients grown on their certified organic farm. They’re processed in a way that maintains the nutrient integrity, so your body can actually absorb and use what you give it.

Could These Help You?
Whether you’re feeling the first signs of imbalance or have been battling blood sugar issues for years, support is available. At Optimal Whole Health & Nutrition, we don’t just guess—we use muscle testing and real food nutrition to help your body get back to balance, naturally.

Have you ever felt completely drained—physically, mentally, or emotionally? Sometimes rest just isn’t enough because your body needs support at a deeper level. That’s where the PEMF Mat comes in. It’s designed to help your body recharge and restore energy right down to the cellular level. What Is PEMF? PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. It uses gentle, low-frequency magnetic waves that safely pass through your body to help stimulate your natural healing processes. These pulsed fields work to: -Reduce pain and inflammation -Improve circulation and oxygenation -Boost energy and cellular repair Think of it like this — your body is electric. Every organ, muscle, and nerve depends on tiny electrical signals to function properly. When that charge runs low due to stress, poor sleep, toxins, or illness, your body begins to slow down. The PEMF mat helps “reboot” that charge, restoring balance and vitality from the inside out. Top Benefits of the PEMF Mat: ✔ Pain relief and reduced inflammation ✔ Improved blood flow and oxygen delivery ✔ Deeper, more restorative sleep ✔ Enhanced relaxation and mental clarity ✔ Increased daily energy and focus ✔ Accelerated detox and cellular repair Experience It for Yourself Come take a moment for you. Lay down, relax, and let the gentle pulses do the work. Most people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and noticeably re-energized after just one session. Ask about our unlimited Healing Room access to see how it can support your healing journey. Your body already knows how to heal — sometimes it just needs a little recharge.

ThAt first glance, reflexology may seem like just a luxurious foot massage—but it’s far more than that. This ancient healing art is based on the principle that every organ, gland, and system in your body has a corresponding reflex point on your feet. By applying gentle, targeted pressure to these points, reflexologists help stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, restore balance, and promote overall wellness. Reflexology isn’t just about feeling good in the moment—although that happens too. It’s about encouraging your body to function at its best by improving circulation, reducing stress, and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself. How Does Reflexology Work? Every reflex point on the feet connects to a specific part of your body. For example: The tips of your toes correspond to your head and sinuses. The arches of your feet connect to internal organs like your liver, stomach, and kidneys. The heels mirror your lower back and sciatic nerve. When these reflex points are stimulated, the signals travel through your nervous system to your organs and tissues. This gentle activation encourages relaxation, improves blood flow, and can help balance hormonal and nervous system function. What Clients Often Notice After a Session People leave reflexology sessions feeling a variety of positive changes, including: Deeper relaxation: “I felt like I could breathe deeper.” Improved digestion: “My digestion started moving again!” Overall body calm: “My body relaxed in a way it hasn’t in weeks.” These responses vary depending on each person’s unique needs and health conditions, but the consistent feedback is that reflexology leaves people feeling lighter, calmer, and more centered. The Benefits of Reflexology Regular sessions may help with: ✔ Stress relief – Lower tension and calm the mind ✔ Reduced inflammation – Support the body’s natural healing ✔ Hormonal balance – Help regulate endocrine function ✔ Better sleep – Promote deep, restorative rest ✔ Enhanced detoxification – Stimulate lymphatic flow ✔ Support for digestive and reproductive systems – Encourage smooth function Why It Feels So Good Reflexology feels amazing because it addresses both the physical and energetic layers of your body. The gentle pressure releases tension from muscles, fascia, and connective tissue, while also calming the nervous system. The combination of touch, focus on reflex points, and mindful intention creates a holistic experience that’s nurturing and restorative from head to toe. ✨ Experience It for Yourself Curious about what your feet can reveal about your health?

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to begin Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), you’re not alone. Many people come in with the same questions running through their minds: “If I start NRT, will I have to change everything about my life?” “Will I be overwhelmed with pills and diet rules?” “Can I really stick with it?” We get it. And the truth is—healing doesn’t happen overnight, but it also doesn’t mean flipping your entire life upside down. The beauty of NRT is that it fits into your real life. You’ll be making small, sustainable changes that add up to big results over time. So, what does it really look like once you’re a few weeks into your plan? Here’s a snapshot of what many of our clients experience: Morning: Starting Strong -Wake up feeling more rested (no more dragging yourself out of bed). -Take 3–4 targeted supplements—these aren’t generic vitamins, but whole food-based support tailored to your body’s needs. -Eat a balanced breakfast: maybe scrambled eggs with avocado toast, or a smoothie with protein, fruit, and greens. -Begin your day with energy that feels steady and calm instead of rushed or drained. Mid-Day: Balanced Energy -Notice steady energy—you’re no longer relying on coffee to get through the afternoon slump. -Take your second round of supplements with lunch (again, only a few—easy to manage). -Experience less bloating, fewer cravings, and clearer thinking. -Instead of feeling like you “hit a wall,” you’re able to focus and stay productive through the day. Evening: Unwinding with Ease -Feel less irritability and fewer headaches. -Support gentle detox with something simple and relaxing: a foot bath, a warm Epsom salt soak, or time with your PEMF mat. -Settle into deeper, more restful sleep—your body begins to repair and recharge in a way you can feel by morning. Healing Doesn’t Mean “Perfect” It’s important to know: you’ll still have days where life happens. Maybe you grab takeout, skip a supplement, or feel stress creeping back in. That’s normal. The difference is, now you’re supported. You’re not just guessing what your body needs—you’re following a plan designed for you. Layer by layer, your body is repairing, detoxing, and rebuilding. Each visit fine-tunes your program so it matches exactly where you are on your healing journey. Healing isn’t about overnight change—it’s about creating a new rhythm that feels doable, supportive, and sustainable. Want to see what your journey could look like? We’ll walk you through it—one visit, one layer at a time. Call us today 570-756-6946

As parents, there’s nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your child struggle and not knowing how to help. Whether it’s constant ear infections, eczema that won’t clear up, tummy troubles after every meal, or behavior issues that leave everyone frustrated—you’ve likely tried everything. You’ve taken out dairy. You’ve limited screen time. You’ve added more water. You’ve cut back on sugar. Yet the symptoms keep showing up. At Optimal Whole Health & Nutrition, we believe kids deserve to be heard and healed—just like adults. And that starts with finding the why behind their symptoms, not just covering them up. Why Do Kids Struggle With So Many Health Issues? Children’s bodies are resilient, but they’re also sensitive. Stress, toxins, hidden food sensitivities, and nutrient deficiencies can all disrupt their natural balance. For some kids, even birth experiences, antibiotic use, or environmental exposures can leave lasting imprints on their health. Unlike adults, children often can’t put into words what feels “off.” Instead, their bodies speak through symptoms: -A rash that won’t go away -A runny nose that never clears up -Meltdowns, lack of focus, or mood swings -Restless nights and trouble falling asleep Their bodies are talking—we just have to learn how to listen. How NRT Supports Children Nutrition Response Testing® is a safe, non-invasive way to get answers about what’s really going on inside your child’s body. Here’s what makes it parent- and child-friendly: -Gentle & Fear-Free: There are no needles, no blood draws, and no machines that feel scary. -Surrogate Testing: For infants and younger kids, we use a parent (usually Mom or Dad) as a surrogate during testing. This means your child doesn’t have to sit still or be touched if they’re not comfortable. -Root-Cause Answers: Instead of chasing symptoms, we identify underlying stressors—whether it’s a food sensitivity, toxin, or weak organ system. -Personalized Support: Each child receives a plan that may include whole food supplements, gentle dietary shifts, and lifestyle support. Common Childhood Issues We Help Address Families often come to us after exhausting other options. Some of the most common concerns we see in kids include: -Eczema & Skin Rashes: Often connected to hidden food sensitivities or detox stress. -Chronic Congestion & Sinus Issues: Linked to immune stress or environmental irritants. -Behavioral Outbursts & Focus Trouble: When the body is out of balance, the brain struggles too. -Digestive Complaints: Constipation, bloating, or tummy aches that keep coming back. -Frequent Illness: Kids who “catch everything” may have weakened immune function that needs support. What Parents Can Expect Your first visit includes a thorough health history, an NRT evaluation, and a personalized plan tailored to your child’s needs. Most parents feel relieved to finally have answers that make sense. With consistent care, many families notice improvements in as little as a few weeks: -More restful sleep -Fewer meltdowns or mood swings -Calmer skin and fewer rashes -Stronger digestion and regular bowel movements -Less missed school from being sick Real Parent Feedback -“My 4-year-old hadn’t slept through the night in a year. After just 2 visits and starting her on 2 supplements, she’s now sleeping peacefully and so am I.” -"My son Nifiq brought me to OWHN during one of the hardest times of our lives. After being hospitalized with lupus—unconscious and having to relearn how to walk and talk—we were desperate for real help. We had tried multiple hospitals and clinics, but nothing worked; he only got worse. Since coming to OWHN, everything has changed. The gentle, non-invasive care and herbal treatments—with no harmful side effects—have helped my son in ways I never imagined. He now has more energy, can express himself, and is doing things doctors said he’d never do. If you’re thinking about reaching out, don’t hesitate. OWHN gave us hope and real healing when nothing else did." -One mom shared that her son always felt defeated in school. No matter how much he studied or read, learning was a constant uphill battle. Through NRT, we discovered that an old scar was disrupting his nervous system. Once we addressed it, his teachers—and even his IEP team—noticed a real difference. Now, he’s able to focus and learn with greater confidence. Stories like this remind us why we do what we do. Children are meant to thrive, and sometimes they just need a little extra support to get back on track. The Bottom Line....... Your child’s body knows what it needs. We’re here to help you listen. If your little one is struggling with recurring health issues, consider exploring our Children’s NRT Program. With safe, natural, and personalized support, we can help your child grow strong, resilient, and vibrant—just the way they were designed to be. Ready to learn more?

“I slept all night, but I’m still exhausted.” “My labs are ‘normal,’ but I’m dragging every afternoon.” Sound familiar? Fatigue is one of the most common complaints we hear from new clients—and also one of the most misunderstood. It’s not just “aging” or “being busy”—it’s a sign your body is struggling to keep up. Common Causes of Hidden Fatigue: -Adrenal stress from prolonged mental/emotional pressure -Toxic buildup (mold, chemicals, heavy metals) draining your energy -Nutrient deficiencies—especially B vitamins, minerals, or protein -Digestive issues—you’re eating, but not absorbing -Blood sugar crashes from poor eating habits How NRT Helps: Nutrition Response Testing uses your body’s own feedback to identify which system is failing to support your energy levels—and we create a personalized program to restore it. Client Wins: One client said, “For the first time in years, I made it through the day without needing a nap or extra caffeine—and I didn’t even realize how much I was struggling until I felt the difference.” ✨ Are you ready to stop living life on empty? Let’s help your body get back to full power—naturally.
