Glucose Revolution: The life-changing power of balancing your blood sugar

Product Information

I think fruit has, you have to be careful with fruit because it depends on the fruit. It depends on how sweet it is, how it was bred and the kind of fruit. When you go kind of get a wild fruit, they’re very sweet, but they’re very small. And I think- It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. In the past five years, scientists have discovered that glucose affects everyone—not just people with diabetes. If we have too much glucose in our system, we put on weight, feel tired and hungry all the time, have skin breakouts, develop wrinkles, and our hormonal balance suffers. Over time, too much glucose contributes to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia, and heart disease. It's a seductive book and an interesting read, but the core messages have been said by dieticians for many, many, years, it could also be summarised by Michael Pollen's quote "Eat (real) food, not too much, mostly plants", coupled with "move more". My guest this week believes that how you feel right now is directly linked to your blood-sugar level. And if you want to feel better than you do right now, you don’t necessarily need to change what you eat – just how.

If we have too much glucose in our system, we put on weight, feel tired and hungry all the time, have skin breakouts, develop wrinkles, and our hormonal balance suffers. Over time, too much glucose contributes to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia and heart disease. Revoluția glucozei este o lectură inteligentă, necesară tuturor celor care vor să afle informații documentate științific despre ce este glucoza, cum ne afecteaza vârfurile glicemice, cum pot fi ele evitate și cum putem mânca mai sănătos. And they lose the hair on their head. So women get bald, do you ever see this kind of women with a big round middle and their hair’s all thin and it looks like they’re going bald on top?

Testimonials from the

I loved the science as usual but I did not understand some of the concepts such as using CRP as an inflammatory marker (It is short lived so we use it as an acute phase reactant and not for chronic inflammation) and some of the data needed bigger samples for statistical significance in my opinion and finally some of the very important concepts were brushed over like using artificial fibers and the variability in curves between people. In writing both clear and empathetic, biochemist Jessie Inchauspe explains why blood sugar spikes are so bad for us and how to flatten those spikes to transform our health.

Of course. So listen, we were chatting a little earlier and you were sharing how you got into this because, what is a math and biochemistry major actually doing writing a book about health, and you came into this through your own doorway of mental health issues. So take us through your journey. What was going on for you? How did you figure out that it was blood sugar that was a problem, and what you learned from that? My life exploded into pieces, too. After that, I divided it in two: before the accident and after the accident. Oh yeah. Cacao nibs are good. So you can make a really yummy smoothie that’s basically not from processed powders, but actually from whole foods. I have that recipe in my book, Ultra Simple Diet, I’m sorry, The 10 Day Detox Diet, which has that recipe in it. You can add some protein powder. And I think, particularly in terms of muscle mass, it’s really important, and the science is so clear on this, that we need high quality protein in the morning, particularly, to load up, to build muscle synthesis, we need about 30 grams.I mean, these are all technologies that are coming and there’s going to be more, you’re going to be able to soon plant a sensor in your blood that won’t just measure your blood sugar, but maybe 1000 different metabolites. And we’ll be able to get AI helping us sort through it all and make sense of what to do and tell us what to do and what not to do and what to eat, to sleep better, feel better, make more muscle. I mean, it’s going to be quite amazing. And this is just the beginning of this absolute revolution in healthcare. I’m a 64-year-old breast cancer survivor with heart, glucose, and thyroid conditions. I take hormone suppressors and yet I have managed to lose 18 pounds in three months with the ridiculously easy changes Jessie explains so well. I’m the slimmest I’ve been since I gave birth and my blood tests are, in the words of my doctor, ‘those of a 15-year-old.’ It’s hard to believe, even for me! Thank you, Jessie, for changing my life. You will rarely hear glucose discussed unless you have diabetes, but glucose affects each and every one of us. In the last few years, the tools to monitor this molecule have become more readily available. That, in combination with the advancements in science I mentioned above, means that we have access to more data than ever before – and we can use that data to gain insight into our bodies. Inchauspé shines in her desire to ensure readers have a good grasp on the facts behind diets, and in her ability to communicate it well. This intelligent survey offers plenty to savor. The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles… And over time, the development of conditions like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
