Blood Sugar Imbalance May Be the Hidden Cause

 

Are you feeling easily irritated or exhausted, even after rest? Many pregnant women notice mood swings or energy crashes that seem unrelated to physical exertion. These symptoms may be signs of blood sugar imbalance—an often-overlooked issue during pregnancy.

At Physic Ebisu, we explore how hormones, nervous system function, and blood sugar regulation are deeply interconnected and how to restore balance naturally.

 

 

 

 

How Hormones and the Nervous System Affect Blood Sugar

While insulin lowers blood sugar, your body has several hormones that raise it, such as cortisol, adrenaline, and glucagon. During pregnancy, fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones can disrupt blood sugar control. When blood sugar dips too low, your body reacts by activating the sympathetic nervous system—causing anxiety, restlessness, irritability, and fatigue.

 

 

Signs of Blood Sugar Spikes and Drops

Frequent blood sugar fluctuations can lead to tension in the shoulders, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, shallow sleep, and even vivid or disturbing dreams. Pregnant women with jaw misalignment or cranial imbalance may feel these effects more acutely due to increased pressure on the autonomic nervous system.
