Get off the blood sugar rollercoaster

Go beyond the 3 PM crash, the cravings you can’t shake, and bloodwork trending the wrong way. We test — not guess — what’s driving your blood sugar, so you can stay sharp at work and fully present for life outside of it.

YOUR EXIT STRATEGY

I see you.

You’re a chronically-busy professional.
You’re trying to make healthier choices.
But perplexed by your lack of progress.

Surprised by stress-eating from the
communal candy dish at work. Again.

Tired of the 3 PM crash that sends you
looking for your third cup of coffee.

Concerned because your bloodwork showed
your A1c is trending in the wrong direction.

But you’re more determined than ever to get well.
Because you feel worthy of reclaiming your energy and vitality.
Because your energy should be devoted to the strategic decisions
that matter — not hijacked by cravings.

Then you’re like the clients who have had excellent outcomes with me.

LET'S TALK

Praise from my clients

  • Gerry C.

    Software Product Leader

    I had been using Mounjaro to manage my weight and diabetes, but while the weight loss was quick, I grew concerned about the medication’s long-term effects. Seeking a more natural way to control my blood sugar, I felt lost in the sea of conflicting advice. Then Patrick came along with clear, science-backed insights on how food affects satiety, blood sugar, and energy. With his help, I gained the confidence to make choices that truly support my health. These changes don’t just feel good — they feel permanent. I can’t recommend Patrick enough, especially if you're looking to work with your doctor to reduce or even eliminate medications!

  • Kari A.

    Homemaker

    Working with Patrick has been a game-changer compared to the nutritionist I found through my health insurance. When I first came to him, I was frustrated with my weight and teetering on the edge of pre-diabetes. Patrick opened my eyes to the fact that I wasn’t getting nearly enough protein to tame my cravings or support healthy weight loss. He showed me how to make delicious, protein-packed meals that naturally satisfied my hunger and kept my blood sugar in check. In time, clothes I had given up on started fitting again. It’s truly amazing how a few targeted changes can spark such a powerful shift!

  • Rosalie K.

    Director of Product Management

    Before working with Patrick, I was stuck in a weight loss rut, convinced I was eating right but still feeling ravenous after dinner. Patrick revealed that my meals were missing the right amount of  macronutrient balance. He crafted a savvy, nourishing game plan that effortlessly fit into my hectic schedule. Rather than scrapping my entire routine or banning all my favorite foods, Patrick guided me to make smarter food choices. Now, I’m happily satisfied until breakfast with no late-night snacking—it's been a total game changer!

    Radio Personality

    I've always loved food, but it didn't always love me back. After eating, I often felt bloated and too full. Patrick quickly identified the likely causes and provided me with a personalized plan, introducing small, manageable changes that helped me form new habits. What stood out to me was how supported I felt—never pushed or judged. This encouragement helped me achieve my biggest triumph: no more bloating or discomfort. And to my surprise, my energy levels have significantly improved too — what a delightful bonus!

How I Help

From blood sugar rollercoaster to balance

Your blood sugar shapes your energy, cravings, focus, and mood throughout the day. While routine bloodwork provides an important snapshot, my approach looks beyond what standard care typically captures — exploring how your diet, stress, and sleep may be shaping your blood sugar response.

1

Book Your Initial Consultation (90 minutes)

Using your health history and my 303-point Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire, we connect the dots across your energy, cravings, sleep, stress, and mood — and uncover patterns that may point to blood sugar imbalance.

We also review your food and mood journal to understand your current diet and lifestyle — from protein balance to fiber intake and meal timing to daily routines — giving us a clearer picture of your starting point before we move into testing.

+ Connect the Dots

2

Begin Your Blood Sugar Program (3-6 months)

You’ll start with a comprehensive blood panel — checking glucose, HbA1c, insulin, lipids, and other key markers involved in blood sugar handling — to flag imbalances we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation.

Then we add the piece a blood panel can't give us: your real-time glucose response. Using a continuous glucose monitor, we see how your blood sugar responds to your meals, stress, sleep — and use those insights to find your blood sugar sweet spot.

+ Test What Matters

Sneak Peek

What testing can reveal

Elevated HbA1c

May indicate that your blood sugar has been running higher than ideal, influenced by what you eat, how you combine foods, and when you eat.

We'll fine-tune your balance of protein, fiber, and greens to support steadier blood sugar.

Reveals longer-term blood sugar patterns that a single fasting reading may miss.

Elevated triglycerides

When you eat sugary and starchy carbs, they're broken down into glucose (blood sugar). Consumed in excess, some can be converted into triglycerides (a type of fat).

We'll work on reducing carbohydrate density and incorporating muscle-centric movement.

Can offer clues about how well your body responds to insulin alongside other blood markers.

Sneak Peek

What CGM can reveal

If your blood sugar is running your day, cutting carbs isn't always the answer. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps us see how your body responds to what you eat, how much, and what you pair it with — turning glucose data into smarter food choices.

Well hey there,

I'm Patrick Lor, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps chronically-busy professionals move beyond the blood sugar rollercoaster to steady, reliable energy and a mind that stays locked on the task at hand — instead of getting sidetracked by obsessive thoughts about the communal candy dish at work.

My approach combines comprehensive bloodwork and real-time glucose monitoring to understand what may be behind the symptoms you’re experiencing. From there, we use food-as-medicine to build a personalized dietary approach around your individual response — not a generic low-carb diet.

Because when your blood sugar is balanced, you can feel satisfied, energized, and focused between meals — with your attention where it belongs: staying sharp through the afternoon meeting and cheering your kids on from the sidelines, fully present and enjoying the moment.

Your answers to

popular questions

  • Every body is unique — but most clients begin noticing meaningful changes within 3–6 months as we work toward better blood sugar balance. This timeframe allows us to build sustainable habits and track meaningful progress — not chase another quick fix.

  • Routine bloodwork provides an important snapshot but typically stops at fasting glucose or A1C once a year. My approach goes further — evaluating a comprehensive blood panel through a functional lens and adding continuous glucose monitoring to see how your blood sugar responds to your meals, stress, sleep, and daily routine.

    As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), I use those insights to build a personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategy around your unique biology — not a generic low-carb protocol.

  • Not at all. Blood sugar imbalance can show up in everyday life as energy crashes, hard-to-ignore cravings, hunger between meals, and changes in energy and mood.

    Whether your bloodwork is trending in the wrong direction, you’re already managing a diagnosis, or you’re simply tired of the rollercoaster, we start by investigating the bigger picture.

  • Yes. If your glucose or A1c is trending upward, or you’re already receiving medical care for prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes, nutrition and lifestyle can be an important part of your broader care plan.

    My role is complementary to your medical care — helping you understand your food and lifestyle patterns and providing individualized nutritional support for blood sugar balance.

    If you take medication, I’m not able to prescribe, adjust, or advise on it — that remains between you and your prescribing physician. My role is to support the nutrition and lifestyle side of your care, while your doctor manages your medication. As we make dietary and lifestyle changes, I’ll encourage you to monitor your blood sugar closely and keep your prescribing physician informed so they can determine whether any changes to your medication are appropriate.

  • It’s a core part of the Blood Sugar Program. A CGM gives us real-time insight into your individual glucose response — showing us how your blood sugar responds to your meals, stress, sleep, exercise, and daily routine.

    Instead of guessing what works for your body, we can see it — and use those insights to fine-tune your nutrition and lifestyle and find your blood sugar sweet spot.

  • Cortisol is one of the hormones involved in regulating blood sugar, particularly during times of stress. When your stress response or daily cortisol rhythm is out of balance, it may be harder to keep your blood sugar steady — leaving you more prone to energy crashes, cravings, hunger, and mood changes throughout the day.

    That’s why we look beyond what’s on your plate. When appropriate, adrenal testing can give us additional insight into your daily cortisol rhythm and whether stress may be part of your blood sugar picture.

  • Food always comes first. But targeted supplements can provide the extra support your body needs to restore balance.

    When supplements are appropriate, recommendations are based on your blood panel and functional test results — not wellness trends — so your body gets exactly what it truly needs to thrive. I only recommend professional-grade options through a trusted online dispensary — and clients receive a discount.

  • I get it — your schedule is full. You give eight hours a day to your company's goals, then fit your own health into whatever time is left.

    But the 3 PM crash, hard-to-ignore cravings, and bloodwork trending in the wrong direction don't become easier to address by putting them off. This isn't a quick fix, and it asks for real follow-through. Eventually it comes down to a choice: keep pushing through the energy lulls and cravings, or carve out the space to build energy and satiety that actually lasts.

  • No — services are self-pay. And that’s intentional. Because your health doesn’t always fit neatly into an insurance checkbox.

    It gives us the freedom to test what matters most for restoring blood sugar balance — including comprehensive bloodwork and continuous glucose monitoring — and build a personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategy around what your body needs, not what an insurance plan dictates.
