Blood Sugar Balancing Tricks for All-Day Energy
As seen on Breakfast Television, November 4, 2025
I’m so excited to be back on Breakfast Television to share one of my favourite topics: blood sugar balancing tricks that help you feel energized, focused, and in control all day long. Keep reading to get your FREE blood sugar balancing guide.
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, but keeping your blood sugar levels steady isn’t just for people with diabetes. Balanced blood sugar impacts everything from your mood and focus to your sleep quality and energy levels. When your blood sugar is stable, you feel calm, clear, and satisfied without the 3 p.m. crash or late-night sugar cravings.

Why Blood Sugar Balance Matters
Your blood sugar naturally rises and falls throughout the day, but the goal is to keep those changes gentle and steady. Large spikes (often caused by refined carbs or sugary snacks) can leave you feeling exhausted, moody, and craving more sugar later on. Over time, those ups and downs can affect your hormones, sleep, and even your long-term metabolic health.
I share a few simple blood sugar balancing tricks during the TV Segment and in my new six-page Guide: Blood Sugar Balancing Tips and Tricks.
This FREE resource is packed with practical strategies to help you maintain stable energy, curb cravings, and improve focus throughout the day. Inside, you’ll find the three blood sugar-balancing recipes from this segment so you can make them at home.
My Favourite Blood Sugar Balancing Tricks
With these easy blood sugar balancing tricks, you can enjoy food, maintain energy, and stay focused from morning to night.
1. Always build balanced meals.
Every meal and snack should include protein, healthy fats, and fibre. This trio slows digestion and keeps glucose from spiking too quickly. You’ll stay fuller longer and have more consistent energy.
2. Eat in the right order.
This is one of my favourite science-backed blood sugar balancing tricks! Start your meal with a few bites of veggies, then protein and fat, and save carbs for last. Studies show that this simple change can reduce glucose spikes by up to 75 percent.
3. Move your body after eating.
A short walk after meals helps your muscles use up glucose for energy instead of letting it linger in your bloodstream. Even five to ten minutes makes a big difference!
Blood Sugar Balancing Recipes from Breakfast Television
Balanced blood sugar isn’t about restriction; it’s about supporting your body so you feel your best. During my Breakfast Television segment, I shared three delicious recipes that naturally support blood sugar balance.
Pasta with Roasted Garlic and Tomato Sauce
Pasta with Roasted Garlic and Tomato Sauce is fresh, simple, and ready in under 30 minutes. Making fresh pasta sauce couldn’t be easier when the oven does all of the work. The sauce is made with roasted tomatoes, onion, and garlic blended with Greek yogurt to give it a tangy creaminess. I like to use fibre-rich chickpea pasta and top it with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Everything roasts together on one sheet pan, so it’s hands-off and easy to clean. The chickpea pasta adds extra protein and fibre, helping to balance blood sugar and keep you full.

Quinoa Bean Salad
This hearty salad is packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and healthy fats — the perfect make-ahead lunch that keeps blood sugar levels balanced all afternoon. The fibre and protein combo here helps slow glucose absorption and prevent afternoon crashes.

Creamy Sesame Kale Salad
Creamy Kale and Sesame Salad is quick, easy and oh so delicious. I massage the kale in velvety, creamy tahini dressing, and it has just a hint of caramel sweetness from dates. This 15-minute salad serves as four sides or one big entree salad if you’re looking for something light and healthy to eat! Kale and tahini make this salad rich in minerals and healthy fats that support blood sugar regulation.
