YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO ABOUT SUGAR!

What if feeling calm and in control starts with your first bite of the day?

Jessie Inchauspé has built her career around that idea - The idea that your glucose levels shape far more than you think…

Many of you will recognise Jessie from the show, as this is the third time we’ve had her on. But for those of you who don’t know her, Jessie is a biochemist whose work has reshaped how many people view cravings and sugar.

This time, we go much deeper than just “avoid sugar.” She walked me through how your fasting glucose is one of the most important numbers to know, and why muscle is one of your greatest metabolic assets.

Small habits like moving after a meal or changing the order of your food can dramatically change your energy.

When we started talking about pregnancy and stress, the conversation shifted. It stopped being about hacks and started being about responsibility. About the idea that what’s happening in your body today could shape someone else’s life tomorrow.

I wanted to know:

- How can you reduce cravings without relying on willpower? - What should you actually look for on an ingredients label? - Can muscle mass protect you against diabetes? - How does stress impact your glucose levels? - Do “healthy” foods sometimes act like dessert in disguise? - What happens in your body when you snack constantly?

We can all understand the science behind sugar, but when that voice kicks in at 10pm and tells you to eat the cookie anyway, knowledge doesn’t always equal control.

I’ve been that person who eats the thing, then ten minutes later regrets it because I know it’s going to mess up my sleep and the next day. And what Jessie helped me see is that a lot of that battle isn’t about willpower, but more so it’s about what’s happening upstream in your body.

If you want to feel steadier and more focused throughout your day, this episode is for you.
