Glucose Revolution

'Eat Smart: Secrets of the Glucose Goddess' is now showing on Channel 4
Dietary science is on the move. For decades, people were wrongly focused on reducing fat and calories, whereas we now know that the real trouble-makers are the foods that deregulate our blood sugar levels.
In writing both clear and empathetic, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé explains why blood sugar spikes are so bad for us and how to flatten those spikes to transform our health.
By analysing decades of research and running thousands of original experiments on herself wearing a continuous glucose monitor, she has distilled 10 simple and surprising hacks that can be easily incorporated into everyday life.
By the end of this book, you'll be aware of how food impacts your biology. You'll know which breakfast choices may be causing your cravings, in which order you should eat the food on your plate, what not to do on an empty stomach, which foods lead to mood swings, and how to avoid being sleepy at 3pm. You'll evolve the way you eat, take control of your health, and your life will flourish.

Jessie Inchauspé is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into easy tips to help people improve their physical and mental health. She's the founder of the widely popular Instagram account @glucosegoddess where she teaches hundreds of thousands about healthy food habits. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Kings' College, London, and a Master of Science in Biochemistry from Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Her work at a genetic analysis start-up in Silicon Valley made her realise that food habits beat genetics for good health. In Glucose Revolution, Jessie shares her startling discovery about the essential role of blood sugar in every aspect of our lives, from cravings to fertility, and the surprising hacks to optimise it while still eating what we love.
