Summary

This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Masa Chips. For a long time, most people thought blood sugar only mattered if you had diabetes. But we now know it influences so much more: your energy, focus, mood, and ultimately your ability to live up to your highest potential. And there’s one thing that impacts all of these more than you might realize: glucose spikes. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Jessie Inchauspé. Jessie shares how and why switching to a savory breakfast can alter the trajectory of your day and energy. She also shares how a glucose roller coaster can create a false sense of energy and lead to brain fog, and how movement can help combat these fluctuations. Stabilizing your blood sugar isn’t just about diet, it’s about unlocking clearer thinking, balanced energy, and a steadier mind to help you feel and perform your best every day. Jessie Inchauspé is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into practical tips to help people enhance their physical and mental well-being. She’s the founder of the wildly popular Instagram account GlucoseGoddess, where she teaches life-changing food habits to hundreds of thousands of people. Jessie holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from King’s College London and a master’s degree in biochemistry from Georgetown University. Her work at a genetic analysis start-up in Silicon Valley made her realize that, as the key to good health, food habits beat genetics. In this episode, Dhru and Jessie dive into: Why a savory breakfast helps you take control of your day (2:20) The glucose rollercoaster: false energy and brain fog (7:38) How movement supports blood sugar control (12:23) Muscles as allies for stable glucose and daily NEAT activity (18:00) Final thoughts (22:17) Also mentioned: Full episode with Jessie Inchauspé This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Masa Chips.
