    According to Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D., low blood sugar can exacerbate or even be the cause of a person’s presenting problem. A sudden drop in blood sugar can trigger physical symptoms such as shaking, light-headedness and feeling tired. People can also experience psychological symptoms such as depression, paranoia, irritability and memory problems. This condition is often associated with triggering a phobic response and influencing the person’s suggestibility, which will increase his or her vulnerability to other factors in the environment, Dr. Kappas warned.

     When someone seeks my help to overcome a phobia, I work with the person to desensitize the person to the stimuli that triggers his or her anxiety. I also suggest that the person should include more protein in the diet to help stabilize the blood-sugar level. Keep protein-rich foods such as almonds or peanuts, cheese or even a slice of turkey available to snack on between will meals to alleviate the physical symptoms described above. (Please consult your physician and/or a certified nutritionist for recommendations about an appropriate diet to manage low blood sugar).

     “As the blood-sugar level stabilizes, the client’s anxieties will start dissipating on their own,” Dr. Kappas advised.
