Top Tips For Managing Your Blood Sugar And Avoiding Insulin Spikes

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and
InsideTracker.   Blood sugar is one aspect of our biology that
has major implications for how well we feel and function on a daily
basis. When it is out of balance and our insulin spikes, it can set
us up for health problems down the road. Luckily, there are many
simple, realistic hacks that can help to successfully manage blood
sugar without leaving you feeling deprived.   In today’s
episode, I talk with Jessie Inchauspé, Max Lugavere, and Dr. Casey
Means about the best hacks to reduce insulin spikes and why
managing your blood sugar is necessary if you want to be healthy.
  Jessie Inchauspé holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics
from King's College London and a master’s degree in biochemistry
from Georgetown University. Her work at a genetic analysis start-up
in Silicon Valley made her realize that, as the key to good health,
food habits beat genetics. In her first book, Glucose Revolution,
Jessie shares her startling discovery about the essential role of
blood sugar in every aspect of our lives, from cravings to
fertility, and the surprising hacks to optimize it while still
eating the foods we love.   Max Lugavere is a health and
