Jessie Inchauspé, also known as The Glucose Goddess, burst onto the Instagram scene in 2018, where she began educating people on how to manage their blood sugar and control glucose ‘spikes’. An overnight sensation, she now sells books, supplements, courses and recipes all focused on how to manage blood sugar levels. But how do we actually define a glucose ‘spike’? And are her glucose ‘hacks’ really revolutionary? Join us, two Registered Dietitans, as we dive into the world of CGMs, blood sugar regulation and Jessie Inchauspé’s Glucose Revolution.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

It’s a common trope: a bunch of kids go to a birthday party, eat some cake, and suddenly they all start acting out and bouncing off the walls. This idea, that sugar causes kids to become hyperactive, has been around for generations. But do we actually have evidence to support it? Could there be something else going on? And how might sugar intake impact the brain of folks with ADHD? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dig deeper into this topic and examine whether or not sugar intake is actually linked to hyperactivity. Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?
