- Herbal Stimulants (Yerba Mate, Guarana)
- Refined sugar
Foods that support the pancreas include;
- Grass-fed beef and buffalo
- Avocados

Helpful Tips
Meal Planning is one of the most effective ways to make sure you eat enough during the day. Designating one day of the week to prep your lunches/dinners in advance can help make eating more convenient.
If you eat lunch at work, avoid having to use the microwave since it removes nutrients. Instead, prepare something that is best served cold, like; chicken salad, cold noodle dishes, etc.
Snacking is very important for brain activity and balancing blood sugar levels. Avoid hi-glycemic food, however, because it can cause energy loss, fatigue, muscular weakness, and moodiness. It’s best to stick with complex carbohydrates, quality protein, and small amounts of fat.
Supporting Supplements
