  • Glucose Hacks

    Jessie Inchauspé, known as the Glucose Goddess, shares essential hacks for managing glucose levels effectively. She emphasizes the importance of starting with four key hacks: having a savory breakfast, incorporating vinegar, starting meals with veggies, and moving after meals. These hacks are scientifically proven to be the most powerful for stabilizing glucose levels, making them non-negotiable for anyone looking to manage their glucose effectively 1. Jessie explains that glucose spikes can lead to inflammation, which manifests in various health issues, and highlights the body's response mechanism involving insulin to manage these spikes 2.

       

    Vinegar Benefits

    Vinegar emerges as a surprising ally in controlling glucose levels, with Jessie advocating for its use before meals. She explains that a tablespoon of vinegar in water can reduce glucose spikes by up to 30%, thanks to acetic acid, which slows down the breakdown of food into glucose 3. Jessie warns against vinegar supplements, advocating for real vinegar instead. She also advises diluting vinegar in water to protect tooth enamel, highlighting the importance of how we consume it 4.

       

    Savory Breakfasts

    Starting the day with a savory breakfast is crucial for managing glucose levels, according to Jessie. She criticizes sweet breakfasts like cereals and pastries for causing glucose spikes, leading to energy crashes and cravings later in the day 5. Instead, she recommends breakfasts rich in protein, such as omelets or Greek yogurt with nuts, which provide sustained energy and prevent glucose spikes. Jessie also discusses the role of coffee, noting that while oat milk is popular, it can contribute to glucose spikes due to its starch content 6.
