The Optimal Zones of Glucose (and the Flow Zone You Want to Live In)

Here’s the truth: it’s not about having zero sugar or living on endless willpower. It’s about knowing your optimal glucose zones — and staying in them.

Performance isn’t random. It’s built on rhythms — how you move, rest, and most of all, how you fuel. Glucose control is the hidden lever. When you manage it, you move between zones that define your state.

The 3 Glucose Zones

1. High Glucose Spikes (The Rollercoaster Zone)

Triggered by sugar-heavy smoothies, pastries, or refined carbs.

Feels like a short burst of energy followed by irritability, cravings, and brain fog.

Long-term? Stress on hormones, metabolism, and recovery.

2. Low Glucose (The Slump Zone)

Happens when you skip meals, overtrain, or crash post-spike.

Leaves you shaky, distracted, and unproductive — exactly when you need clarity.

3. The Optimal Glucose Zone (The Flow Zone)

Powered by steady release: slow carbs, proteins, healthy fats, fibre

Feels like calm focus, sustained energy, and emotional resilience.

This is the zone of the everyday athlete — where focus sharpens, stress is manageable, and recovery is supported.

Why Go State keeps you in the Flow Zone

  • Oats + sweet potato for smooth glucose release.
  • Plant proteins + fibre to slow digestion and flatten the curve.
  • Super Reds + Greens for antioxidant protection.
  • Probiotics + prebiotics to support the gut-brain axis that regulates mood and energy.

The Flow Zone is where high performance lives. It’s where you deliver your best presentations, train harder and smarter, recover faster, and feel grounded instead of burnt out.

Stable glucose isn’t just about avoiding health issues. It’s the foundation of living like an everyday athlete — with balance, clarity, and energy to thrive.
