Surprise Hacks To Balance Your Blood Sugar with Jessie Inchauspé

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and
Athletic Greens. 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. 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. On today’s episode, I 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. Jessie 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. This episode is brought to
