I mean who has the time, energy, and money to research, study, and formulate this kind of stuff? And who would care enough about people’s wellbeing to even start in the first place? (I mean we have the pharmaceutical companies, uh don’t we? right??)
Well, I’m very grateful I stumbled upon a very unique team of ‘in-the-know’ medical doctors who do.
Because now I get to pass this wonderful stuff on to you. So check it out…
“Scientists have discovered a crucial enzyme in your body that is responsible for keeping your metabolism working like a well-oiled machine – and is the key to achieving perfect blood sugar. The enzyme is called AMPK(Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase) and it controls what happens to sugar molecules when they enter your bloodstream. ” MarkStengler.com
AMPK functions like a built-in “Traffic Cop”
“In not so scientific terms, when you wolf down a scoop, or two, of ice cream, and flood your body with sugar, AMP basically tells the rush of sugar where to go, hence the nickname. (It tells the pancreas to make insulin and the insulin helps get the sugar to move out of the bloodstream and into the muscles to be used as energy)
But…that’s when you’re young and healthy.
As you age, AMPK—your internal traffic cop—starts to tire and excess sugar is allowed to build up in your bloodstream. As a result, you start to store that sugar as fat—mainly in the gut.” MarkStengler.com

It’s my purpose to share this product with you because it may help balance blood sugar – naturally. Neither myself or this site is affiliated with Dr. Mark Stengler in any way. Therefore, I will not be compensated for sharing or promoting his products. I am just sharing it with you the same way I would share with you a really good book I think you’d enjoy or benefit from, as a friend.
Now…How To Do it:
3 ‘Natural Finds’ That Boost AMPK
#1 Berberine
Berberine is an Asian herb that activates AMPK, improving your A1c, triglycerides, LDL and even your weight—without having to exercise vigorously every day or deal with hunger pangs.
**Studies used 1.5 grams of berberine daily.
According to Dr. Axe“As the rate of diabetes rises steadily around the world, studies show that berberine deserves a place among other natural remedies for diabetes.Duringone study, berberine was found to lower blood glucose, helping prevent and treat type I ” I diabetes and its complications, including diabetic cardiovascular disease and diabetic neuropathy.”
#2 Chromium Polynicotinate
This mineral is believed to increase the number of insulin receptors on your cell membranes – so sugar can move freely into the cell. The more receptors you have… the more sugar gets transferred into your cells… the more energy you have.
From Dr. Axe. “Chromium plays a role in the insulin-signaling pathways that allow our bodies to control the amount of sugar we take in, helping balance blood glucose levels and giving us stable energy. Research also shows that chromium can help protect DNA chromosomes from damage, which means chromium may be able to halt cell mutations that can lead to various chronic diseases. In addition, chromium is associated with longevity and improved cardiovascular health due to its role in metabolizing fats, in addition to proteins, carbs and other nutrients.”
(note:This is NOT chromium picolinate – which that can actually interfere with your chromosomes.)
#3 Curcumin
Curcumin, which is the active compound in the spice turmeric.
The science is complicated, but all you need to know is that curcumin works by breathing new life into “tired’ pancreatic cells. The more natural insulin in your bloodstream, the easier it is for your blood sugar to remain in the healthy range.
Have to Love Dr. Axe“In 2009, Biochemistry and Biophysical Research Communications published a lab study out of Auburn University that explored the potential of curcuminoids to lower glucose levels. The study discovered that curcumin in turmeric is literally 400 times more potent than metformin (a common diabetes drug) in activating the enzyme AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). One compound produced by fermentation of curcumin, tetrahydrocurcumin, activated AMPK up to 100,000 times more than metformin in certain cells! (38)”
