Be honest: you didn’t feel great afterward, did you?   That discomfort was the feeling of your blood sugar spiking. In these situations, your body releases insulin to bring it back down. Many times, however, this hormone pulls your blood sugar down too low. Consequently, you feel tired, moody, mentally spacey, and yet oddly, craving the very foods that hurt you.   The solution? Steady your blood sugar by breaking your morning fast with a loaded smoothie and taking a protein-first approach to your meals. Blood-sugar balance is my number one way to build muscle, burn fat, and supercharge your metabolism.   This week, you’ll learn how [blood-sugar balance supports heart health](. I’ll also talk about why [cheat days and snacking stall fat loss](, and I’ll leave you with a [fiber-packed ahi dish]( that brings something completely different to the table. [This week's blog]( Tip 1:   Don't overlook this critical heart-health factor. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States. Doctors rightly warn that high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol can contribute to heart disease. However, they often overlook what Dr. Mark Hyman called the real driver of heart disease: high insulin levels that can lead to insulin resistance. In [this week's blog](, you'll learn why eating high-sugar-impact foods can elevate your risk of cardiovascular disease. I'll show you eight ways to manage blood-sugar levels, including a “miracle” mineral, the magic trifecta that every meal should contain, and why fat can be heart-healthy. I also discuss my favorite tests for heart health and blood-sugar balance to ensure that you age powerfully into your 50s, 60s, and beyond. [This Podcast]( Tip 2:   Just say no to cheat days and snacking. Every so often, I’ll hear a health expert tell people that they should “take an occasional day off” and eat whatever they want. Or they’ll take a graze-all-day approach because it increases your metabolism (or some such nonsense). The truth is, cheat days and snacking are one-way tickets to metabolism spiraling and fat gain. In [this episode](, I talk about why cheat foods have a drug-like effect on your brain and keep you hooked, why bedtime snacking can nearly double weight gain, how to break the snacking habit, and my go-to food to help curb hunger and cravings. [Ahi Tuna Bowl]( Tip 3:   Try this super-satisfying tuna bowl. When you’re craving a tuna bowl without inflammatory oils and other nasty ingredients that are common in restaurant entrees, my [Ahi Tuna Bowl]( delivers a hefty serving of healthy fats, protein, and deliciousness. I swapped the traditional egg-based spicy mayo for a sriracha and coconut-cream dressing. And I added avocado because, well, it makes everything better, and a bed of arugula greens, quinoa, and chickpeas delivers plenty of gut-supportive fiber.   Love, JJ   P.S.
