In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney sits down with Jessie Inchauspé, also known as the Glucose Goddess, to break down the powerful role blood sugar plays in your energy, hormones, mood, and overall health. Jessie explains what glucose actually is, why spikes and crashes lead to cravings, fatigue, and inflammation, and how simple, science-backed habits can help you feel better without restrictive dieting.They walk through easy, actionable “glucose hacks,” including why a savory breakfast is key, how the order you eat your food can reduce spikes by up to 75%, and simple habits like walking after meals or using vinegar to stabilize blood sugar. The conversation also explores how glucose impacts women’s health, including perimenopause and menopause, and why blood sugar becomes harder to manage as hormones shift.Jessie also shares insights from her new book, ‘The Nine Months That Count Forever,’ revealing how nutrition during pregnancy directly shapes a baby’s brain, metabolism, and long-term health. She highlights critical nutrients like protein and choline, nutrients that up to 90% of pregnant women are missing, and explains how small dietary changes can make a lifelong difference.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.
