Most of us are on a blood sugar rollercoaster but don't even know it. Understanding your blood sugar, and flattening your glucose curve, is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and longevity. I believe flattening your glucose curve is one of the most important things we can do for our health, which is why I have invited glucose expert and brand new author Jessie Inchauspé to the show.

Your Blood Sugar is in Charge
Did you know that 90% of adults experience at least one glucose spike a day, with most of us not even realizing it's happening? Your blood sugar is a major factor in how you feel every single day, from your energy levels to your digestive health and brain function. This is why it is so important to understand what is happening in your body so that you can see the warning signs before it is too late.
How to Take Away Sugar’s Power
You don't need an expensive CGM to understand what is happening with your blood sugar. Simple habits like which order you eat your food or walking after a meal can have a huge impact on your body's ability to regulate glucose and avoid a glucose spike. Jessie’s hacks are simple, cost-effective, and scientifically backed, and there is no situation that which her suggestions would not be beneficial.
While changing your relationship with sugar can be scary, using these hacks will make breaking up with sugar less painful, and give you a whole new experience in life. Finding a way to eat sugar in a way that does not continue the cycle of addiction through simple and easy hacks will make you feel more amazing than you ever thought possible.
