Summary

This episode is brought to you by Puori, Fatty15, Our Place, and Branch Basics. When it comes to pregnancy, most advice focuses on what to avoid. But what if the real conversation should be about what actively builds your baby’s brain and long-term health? Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jessie Inchauspé to discuss the four building blocks of pregnancy nutrition. Dhru and Jessie dive into the hidden impact of glucose on your baby’s developing brain, the pregnancy nutrition myths that need to go, and the overlooked nutrient that helps wire memory before birth. They unpack nausea and food aversions, share simple glucose hacks every pregnant mom should know. Jessie also highlights the protein mistake most moms don’t realize they’re making, explains the connection between glucose, inflammation, and the brain cells few people talk about, and breaks down the truth about “eating for two.” Jessie Inchauspé is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into simple, practical tools for better physical and mental health. As the founder of the popular @GlucoseGoddess account, she shares life-changing food habits with hundreds of thousands of people.
