Insulin Resistance: How to Spot It Early and Protect Your Blood Sugar Naturally
Even if you’ve never been diagnosed with insulin resistance, now is the perfect time to understand it—before it sneaks in.
To be honest, I never thought it would happen to me.
But looking back?
It makes total sense.
Let me explain…
How Insulin Resistance Sneaks In (Even If You’re “Healthy-ish”)
I personally fall into the higher risk category.
Insulin resistance doesn’t always come with flashing warning signs. It can quietly creep in after:
- A major injury
- Years of poor diet choices
- Multiple pregnancies (🙋♀️ Hello children. I'm glad you're here!)
- Or simply… life. Yep. Just being human.
If you love your sweets (me too!) but want to protect your blood sugar, here are my favorite real-life tools and delicious healthy treat swaps that have helped me keep things steady.
Step One: Support Healthy Glucose Levels with Essential Oils 🌿
Yes, really! Certain essential oils are amazing for balancing post-carb blood sugar spikes.
💧 Take 3–10 drops in a capsule depending on your size and how much sugar you ate.
These natural helpers are a gentle but powerful way to support your body and avoid those sugar rollercoasters. Feel free to message me if you want to know how and when I take these.
Step Two: Enjoy Sweet Treats That Don’t Spike Your Blood Sugar 🍨
Let’s keep it real—we still want dessert! Here are two of my favorite blood sugar-friendly dessert recipes.
Creamy Keto Ice Cream
Perfect for those who don’t need extra heavy cream. Swap in cottage cheese for a silky, protein-packed twist!
Ingredients:
- 1 part organic half-and-half
- 1 part mashed cottage cheese (lump-free!)
- 1 egg yolk per cup of half-and-half
- Dash vanilla
- Optional: cocoa powder to taste
- A few squirts of stevia
Instructions:
- Mix everything well.
- Pour into an ice cream maker (I use a KitchenAid frozen bowl on low).
- In minutes, you’ll have creamy, dreamy, keto-friendly ice cream!
👉 Pro tip: Add Chocx keto chocolate chunks. You’re welcome. 😜
Flourless Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free, No Added Sugar)
This one’s heavenly on its own—or paired with the keto ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 8 large cold eggs
- 1 lb dark or semisweet chocolate
- 2 sticks salted butter
- Optional: powdered monk fruit + berries

This rich, fudgy cake is a total showstopper—no flour, no guilt, all the joy.
Why Clean Fragrance Matters for Blood Sugar 🧴
Here’s a surprising truth: synthetic fragrance can clog your detox pathways and mess with your blood sugar.
😬 Yup. Hormone-disrupting chemicals in most perfumes can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and yes—even insulin resistance.
That’s why I’m obsessed with Wyld Notes Clean Fragrance.
✔️ Why We Love Wyld:
- No denatured alcohol or hormone disruptors
- Plant-based, teen-approved, and long-lasting
- Designed for real people who want to smell nice without toxic exposure
My teens love it. My husband loves it. And I love knowing our health isn’t being compromised for the sake of smelling good.

The Bottom Line
Insulin resistance can sneak in quietly, but you can take simple, delicious, and even fragrant steps to protect your blood sugar and feel amazing.
Whether it’s swapping desserts, adding essential oils, or cleaning up your fragrance game, every little step counts toward better long-term health. I'm here cheering you on! You've got this!! One day at a time!
