Surprise Hacks To Balance Your Blood Sugar with Jessie Inchauspé

Episode 512 1h 7m

Overview

Food should be a tool for helping us feel our best. But, most people don’t realize what kind of impact their favorite foods are having on their blood sugar, and subsequently their entire body.

The symptoms of blood sugar imbalances are everyday occurrences for most people. Feeling hungry even when you just ate, craving sweets, and dealing with acne, hormonal imbalances, and signs of aging like wrinkles are just a few of the many symptoms of blood sugar swings. When these continue to go unchecked more severe dysfunctions can occur, like type 2 diabetes, infertility, fatty liver disease, and dementia.

On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Jessie Inchauspé, also known as the “Glucose Goddess,” all about her tried-and-true hacks for balancing blood sugar and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Throughout our conversation, Jessie shares her own experience of improving her health through monitoring her glucose reactions, including the major benefits it had for her mental health.

The order of how we eat certain foods is one incredibly simple yet powerful step towards better metabolic health. Jessie recommends starting with fiber, followed by proteins and fats, and then eating healthy types of carbohydrates. Drinking one tablespoon of vinegar in a large glass of water before meals, and taking a walk after meals, are additional hacks that are very effective for balancing blood sugar.

Jessie has plenty of other tips, too. Even if you don’t have the money to spend right now on a continuous glucose monitor, which allows us to see how foods impact us in real-time, there are plenty of free tips we share in this episode that are sure to get your blood sugar more balanced.
