Glucose Spikes are rapid increases in blood sugar after a meal, often followed by a sharp insulin response and subsequent energy crash. They indicate a "glucose-locked" system—one that struggles to access fat for fuel.
Why They Matter
- •Energy crash — spikes lead to crashes; unstable energy throughout the day
- •Insulin resistance — chronic spikes can reduce insulin sensitivity over time
- •Brain fog — volatile glucose impairs cognitive function
- •Fat storage — excess glucose is stored as fat when insulin is high
In ONDA Life
The Glucose Buffer protocol (10-minute brisk walk after your largest meal) flattens glucose spikes by activating GLUT4 transporters. This pulls glucose into muscle without a massive insulin spike.
