WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Biochemist Explains Simple Glucose Hacks to Enjoy Sugar Without Restriction
- Jessie Inchauspé argues that glucose spikes drive cravings, inflammation, glycation-related aging and mitochondrial fatigue, and that these can be reduced without cutting out foods you love.
- She describes four core hacks: a savory protein-based breakfast, vinegar before carbs, a vegetable starter, and ten minutes of muscle movement after a meal, plus extras like putting clothing on carbs and having sweets only as dessert.
- She shares how her own depersonalization episodes, which followed a spinal injury and surgery at 19, led her to notice a link between a glucose spike and her symptoms, and how the hacks gave her a foundation alongside EMDR and therapy.
- She criticizes diet culture, fasting trends, extreme biohacking and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, saying people should understand their physiology and treat symptoms as messages from the body.
- She promotes her book The Glucose Goddess Method and her Anti-Spike capsules, which she says reduce a meal's glucose spike by 40% and raise GLP-1 by 15% after 6 to 12 weeks.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasNothing is off limits; order and context matter
Inchauspé says the answer is not cutting out sugar but eating it after a meal as dessert, never on an empty stomach, and with protein, fat or fiber alongside.
Glucose spikes accelerate aging through glycation
She compares aging to cooking a chicken, saying each spike speeds the browning of tissues, which shows up as wrinkles and affects organs.
Symptoms can signal spikes without a monitor
She lists cravings for sweets, chronic fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, skin inflammation and needing constant snacks as signs, and says people can check in with how they feel.
Food can affect mental health
She links her own depersonalization episodes to a glucose spike after a sweet breakfast, and says the hacks gave her a foundation to build on with EMDR and therapy rather than being a complete fix.
Weight loss is a side effect, not the goal
She avoids pitching the hacks as weight loss and says about half of people lose weight naturally as cravings and hunger fall, while stressing that the real aim is feeling good.

It's not a diet, it's not a fad, it's just how your body functions, and it's understanding physiologically how and when to eat your carbs with less impact on your health.

Never eat your carbs naked so that they don't cause as big of a glucose spike.

Diet culture, diets, losing five pounds before summer, that is toxic. And the diet industry is making so much money off your back by making you believe that's gonna make you happy and worthy.
