This week, Aleen chats with @glucosegoddess aka Jessie Inchauspé, a French biochemist and international bestselling author of the “Glucose Revolution.” To kick off the episode, Jessie shares how she became a biochemist, what made her study glucose for a living, and why she wears a glucose monitor – even though she’s not a diabetic. Jessie then explains what glucose is and how glucose spikes can affect our bodies. Jessie details the “hacks” that she discusses on instagram and her book in order to decrease glucose spikes, like eating a savory breakfast or moving your muscles after eating. Jessie explains how these principles have worked for her and notes that she doesn’t do all of these all the time, but she’s just really excited about the research she’s read about it.
