How to control blood sugar spikes | Glucose Goddess and Dr Sarah Berry

Biochemist Jessie Inchauspe heads into work one morning at a genetics lab in California. During the morning meeting, management offer staff the chance to self-test a new medical device. Jessie accepts.

She couldn’t have known this device would take her on a journey of discovery to reshape her health and help countless others do the same.

The device was a continuous blood sugar monitor, and it was this, combined with her academic background, and a remarkable willingness to use herself as a lab rat, that began a journey of discovery into how blood sugar affects our health.

In today’s episode, Jonathan is joined by two leading experts on the topic:

Jessie Inchauspe is a biochemist, bestselling author, and founder of the Glucose Goddess movement who’s helped hundreds of thousands of people improve their health by making cutting-edge science accessible.
Dr. Sarah Berry is one of the world’s leading experts on human nutrition, who has personally run over 20 randomized clinical trials looking at how humans respond to different fats.
