#1 BEST SUPPLEMENT for BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES!

Blood sugar spikes can totally ruin your day! You eat some carbs and your blood sugars go through the roof, then come crashing down past where you started leaving you ‘hangrier’ than ever. In this video I compare two supplements – psyllium fiber and Level Off – to see which one does a better job controlling your sugars. Spoiler alert! One of the supplements almost completely eradicates blood sugars like they were never there. Plus, at the end of the video I give you three lessons I learned while experimenting with a continuous glucose monitor for two weeks. These three lessons will help you become an expert in avoiding blood sugars spikes, and may be enough for you to avoid getting diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Chapters:
00:00 Best supplement for reducing blood sugar spikes
00:33 Fiber works by creating a sponge-like matrix in the intestines, slowing sugar absorption and reducing blood sugars. Two studies published in major journals show the power of fiber to reduce blood sugars by up to 60%
02:30 Level Off is a combination of mulberry seed extract, citrus extract and cinnamon. Mulberry seed extract can lower blood sugars by up to 20% and works by inhibiting a key enzyme for carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
03:43 We look at a graph of a blood sugar spike and explain why it makes you “hangry”.
04:45 Competition rules: Which supplement does a better job smoothing out the blood sugars after ¾ cup of rice? This test is based on the standard test for diagnosing diabetes.
05:25 Fiber completely flattened the rise in blood sugars at a dose of 10 grams, with a significant effect on blood sugars for up to 4 hours.
06:57 Level Off (mulberry, citrus, cinnamon) had a modest effect at 2 capsules, but a pretty impressive effect with 4 capsules before the rice meal.
08:03 The winner is…Fiber! Both work for lowering blood sugar spikes, but fiber had a greater reduction in blood sugars and has many other health benefits.
09:14 Three Lessons from 2 weeks on a Glucose Monitor. Lesson 1: Don’t eat too many carbs! Doubling the dose of rice led to a significant rise in blood sugars to the diabetic range. Fiber did lower the blood sugars by about 50% in this experiment.
10:46 Lesson 2: Stress can really cause your blood sugars to spike. I show you what an ‘artificial’ stress reaction does to my blood sugars (hint: it’s way worse than rice).
11:24 Lesson 3: A Keto/Paleo Diet is amazing for your blood sugars. In this test I find that a day on Paleo has the same blood sugars as when I fasted for the day. No spikes at all!
12:34 Thanks for watching!

Wow, this video is a must-watch! I’ve struggled with blood sugar spikes for a while, and learning about the #1 supplement to help control them is a game-changer. The explanation was clear, and I love how easy it is to incorporate this into my routine. Thanks for sharing such valuable and practical advice – I’m definitely going to try it!

[taniadanzi]

Thanks for the advice. I had 8.9 last year and now am down to 6.2. Diet and exercise is key.

[manray]

What an awesomely helpful video. I wish my primary care doctor was so well informed. He just seems to want me to take metformin. I love that you're actually doing the testing with foods that we would normal consume. Kudos to you. I'm a fan, and am so glad i subscribed! 👍👍👍

[tabletop]

Very informative and incredible video! Do you think using ground chia seeds instead of psyllium fiber would basically give the same effect? Thank

[Belgiumstar]

Dave Clayton brilliant. Easy explained learn a lot from you 👍 👍

[joghog]

Have you tested berberine's effects on your blood sugar? I'm curious.

[ableable]

Thank you very much Doctor great advice 😊

[PerfectHealth]

This video is so informative! It’s great to learn about supplements that can actually help manage blood sugar spikes. Your detailed explanation on how they work makes it so much easier to understand and make informed choices. Thank you for sharing such valuable health tips

Great reminder about the benefits of fibre Dr.Dave. I best get onto it after that Xmas feastfest!

[MansourMoufid]

Could you please test different types of fiber? I'm really curious about pectin.

[tbirdyt]

I avoid all fiber. That has cured my constipation.

[Sammywhat]

Thank you, Doctor! Happy Holidays!! And a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year to one and all! Cheers!!

[meilingfang]

Dr. Clayton, Will you please do a research on "Reverse Soft Tissue Calcification", meaning Bring Calcium Out Of Tissue & Into Bones? Thank you very much.

[mariaf]

Best information on BSspike ever, ty so much ♥ Merry Christmas!

[michaelcooper]

Do you have to worry about constipation with the fiber?

[Belgiumstar]

Love listening to Dave Clayton brilliant

[Walter-oxrc]

Another good video. An interesting topic I read recently in Neuroscience News (01/10/25) - How Fiber Triggers Anti-cancer Gene Activity. I enjoy your good analysis. Thanks.

[joebartles]

Should have run the same experiment with Berberine

[stevefiorito]

Using fiber supplements on a regular basis is a good strategy for keeping blood glucose numbers in check and for good health in general. I've been on a Keto Diet regimen for about 4 to 5 years now ... occasionally rotating off for a day or two .. or for a meal or two. This may not work for everyone, but it has been working for me,
