Send us a text

Why does your child have meltdowns after school or struggle to focus before lunch? In this episode of our Back to School series, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell dive into the glucose–brain connection every parent should know.

You’ll discover:

• Why glucose is the fuel your child’s brain needs for focus, memory, and emotional regulation
• How blood sugar imbalances trigger meltdowns, “hangry” moments, and attention problems
• The brain structures that manage energy needs — and what happens when they’re thrown off
• Long-term effects of poor blood sugar regulation, from learning struggles to potential cognitive decline
• Practical mindset shifts for parents to “fight for” their child’s brain health without making food battles stressful

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or just curious about brain health, this episode blends science and real-life application to help you make smarter choices for sustained focus and emotional balance — for kids and adults.
