Okay scratch all that, I am really thinking that the after breakfast rising urine ph is related to some kind of sugar crash, so I'm asking for those who are familiar with that what can be done to prevent it?

Although I still think it has to do with mineral imbalances since talking with someone who actually quit sugar and does more starch balancing meals along with minerals she says her brix/ph never crashes now. I want to do a HTMA with Dr. Garrett Smith and see what I may be throwing off balance.

I agree...I think the the rising urine pH and the sugar crashing are related and from what I've observed, it seems like the rising urine pH causes the sugar number/brix to lower. The big question for me is why do my and other people's urine pH rise so sharply mid-morning? I think it might be related to some daily biological rhythm.
In the past, I had thought I had ways to keep the urine ph from rising but it appears that all I was really doing was just counter-balancing the alkalinity, versus actually stopping it from occurring.

Sugar crash is likely to result in reduced CO2 production. CO2 is acidifying. Less CO2 tends to more alkaline UpH. ?
If so, then more carbs in the morning while sugars are falling might avoid the sugar crash and therefore keep the pH more acidic? If pH is too acidic already, and you actually need it to be a little more alkaline without the sugar/CO2 crash, then add more alkalinising foods - eg calcium etc? If pH is OK with more carbs, then OK?
Yeah, I think you also mentioned in the past that you were able to sleep through the night better eating this way as well?tara said:https://raypeatforum.com/forums/posts/95787/ I loved seeing that chart of Challen's a couple of years ago - It seems to fit me pretty well, and helps explain why I can't function if I try to eat the way many people around do (small breakfast, lunch, large dinner). Seems to work better for me if I eat lots of carbs for breakfast on the falling curve, solid lunch in the trough, then lighter the rest of the day. Though I still snack more than he would recommend.
I think meal timing may be one of the most important factors for stopping the pH and brix swings. The following video has Challen talking about the typical brix pattern for most people and how it relates to meal timing.
