WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Jessie Inchauspé's Simple Glucose Hacks for Energy, Cravings and Health
- Inchauspé explains that glucose spikes drive symptoms like fatigue, cravings, inflammation and hormonal problems through glycation, mitochondrial stress and excess insulin.
- She presents practical hacks that don't require changing what you eat, including food order, vinegar before meals, putting clothes on carbs, a savory breakfast and moving after meals.
- She shares her personal story of breaking her back at 19, struggling with mental health, and finding that a glucose monitor revealed spikes as a trigger for her episodes.
- She cites her 2,000-plus person pilot of The Glucose Goddess Method, reporting that 90% reduced cravings and 70% had more energy in four weeks, while stressing the approach is flexible rather than a diet.
- The conversation also covers pushback from type 1 diabetics and eating disorder communities, plus side topics like grounding, spirituality and ancestral food wisdom.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasEating vegetables first can cut a meal's glucose spike by up to 75%.
Inchauspé says fiber forms a protective mesh in the upper intestine that slows glucose absorption from the food that follows, even if the meal itself is unchanged.
Glucose spikes cause harm through three mechanisms.
She describes glycation (internal 'cooking' and aging), stressed mitochondria leading to fatigue and inflammation, and excess insulin that stores fat and can drive PCOS and fertility problems.
A sugar rush feels like energy but is really dopamine.
She argues that the perked-up feeling after sweets is a pleasure signal, while spikes actually impair the mitochondria's ability to make energy.
Never eat carbs 'naked'.
Adding protein, fat or fiber, such as Greek yogurt with chocolate cake or nuts with dried fruit, slows glucose arrival and lowers the spike without giving up the food.
Breakfast is the most important meal to get right.
Both speakers say sweet, starchy breakfasts set up a day-long cravings rollercoaster, so Inchauspé recommends a savory, protein-based breakfast such as leftovers from dinner.
