Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Jessie Inchauspe to the podcast. Jessie, how are you? Good morning.

Jessie (01:26):

Hi Stewart. I'm so good. How are you?

Stu (01:29):

Very good. Very good. Really, really excited to talk to you today. And as we were just talking off-camera, I mentioned that you've really added some bling, some pizazz to this world of glucose, which is fantastic because it's bringing it mainstream, more mainstream than I think it has ever been. But it opens up a whole realm of hacks tips, tricks, strategies for us to start to take control of our health, which I'm super excited about talking with you today. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Jessie (02:10):

Of course. I'm French, trained as a mathematician, then a biochemist, and I've been spending the past three years making the science of blood sugar or glucose accessible mainstream. And as you said, bling, I like thinking that I'm making the science stylish and accessible for people to use. I'm a scientific translator if you will. I take the latest scientific Studies and I turn them into very easy tips for everybody to apply. I started on Instagram. My Instagram is Glucose Goddess, and I just finished writing a book Glucose Revolution that is going to bring the stylish science to even more people, I hope.

Stu (02:55):

Fantastic. So clearly we've had the sugar message. Maybe there's some confusion there between people that are listening as well. So glucose, tell us about glucose. What is it? Why should we the public care about it?
