Blood sugar imbalance is one of the most important—and overlooked—drivers of aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. Long before diabetes develops, subtle shifts in glucose regulation can affect energy, cognition, mood, weight, circulation, vision, and nerve health. This in-depth class explores how blood sugar control changes with age, why “normal” lab values can still signal metabolic stress, and how early patterns of dysregulation quietly shape long-term health.
Students gain a clear understanding of insulin resistance, post-meal glucose spikes, and the cumulative impact of modern diets and lifestyles on metabolic resilience. Drawing from holistic health perspectives and current research, the course offers practical insight into supporting healthy blood sugar regulation as the body ages. Ideal for individuals seeking prevention-focused education, as well as students and practitioners working with metabolic and age-related conditions.

As the body ages, blood sugar regulation becomes more fragile—even in people who have never been diagnosed with diabetes. This class examines why glucose control often deteriorates with age, how insulin sensitivity changes over time, and why many people experience fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, weight gain, or nerve symptoms years before any formal diagnosis appears.
The course explores the physiology of blood sugar balance, including how muscle mass, liver function, stress hormones, sleep quality, and dietary patterns interact to shape metabolic health. Students learn why post-meal spikes and long-term glucose variability are more damaging than isolated lab values, and how chronic elevation quietly contributes to cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, vision changes, kidney stress, and accelerated aging.
Rather than focusing on extreme diets or rigid protocols, this class emphasizes sustainable, long-term strategies rooted in nutrition, lifestyle rhythm, and holistic metabolic support. The goal is not short-term control, but preserving flexibility, resilience, and healthy energy regulation well into later life.
What you’ll learn:
Why blood sugar regulation becomes more difficult with age
The difference between fasting glucose, post-meal spikes, and long-term metabolic stress
How insulin resistance develops and why it often goes unnoticed
The relationship between blood sugar, inflammation, nerve health, and aging
Lifestyle and dietary patterns that support long-term glucose stability
This class is ideal for:
Adults concerned about blood sugar changes as they age
Individuals with prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or family history of diabetes
People experiencing fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes without clear cause
Students of holistic health, nutrition, or integrative medicine
Practitioners seeking a deeper framework for metabolic aging
Anyone interested in preventing age-related chronic disease through blood sugar support
