If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before making changes to your diet.\n\nMy 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\u2019t necessarily need to change what you eat \u2013 just how.\n\nJessie Inchausp\xe9 is a French biochemist and author, whose first book, Glucose Revolution, spoke to the life-changing power of balancing your blood-sugar and her latest book, The Glucose Goddess Method sets out a four-week, four-step plan to help you do just that.\n\nBefore writing The Glucose Goddess Method, Jessie recruited 2,700 volunteers through social media to test her programme. The results are quite astounding: 70 percent of those who followed her plan for four weeks reported better energy; 90 percent had reduced cravings; 40 percent of the participants with type-2 diabetes reduced their diabetes markers. Ninety-nine percent of those who took part said they were impressed enough to continue the habits for life.\n\nJessie believes blood sugar is the one metric that has the most effects in the body, from balancing hormones to improving energy, mood, immunity, skin, sleep, ageing, weight and much more. During this conversation, she breaks down the science of exactly what glucose is, how it\u2019s used by the body, and why an excess of sugary or starchy foods can cause a blood-glucose spike. She explains why glucose is our body\u2019s favourite energy source, used by every cell, but that too many spikes, too often, will lead to adverse health effects.\n\nRealising that very many of us struggle with sticking to the \u2018best\u2019 or \u2018right\u2019 diet, Jessie wanted to find ways that we could all enjoy the foods we love, without suffering spikes. By adopting her four ways of eating \u2013 one at a time, bit by bit \u2013 you can minimise glucose spikes and, in turn, the short and longer-term health issues they create.\n\nJessie is a really fantastic communicator who is able to simplify complex science and give you actionable information that you can implement immediately.
