This podcast delves into Jessie Inchauspe's "Glucose Revolution," highlighting how glucose impacts our health beyond just diabetes. It starts with a simple overview of glucose and its sources, then addresses the harmful effects of frequent glucose spikes linked to modern diets laden with processed foods and sugars. The discussion identifies three key issues arising from these spikes: oxidative stress, glycation, and insulin overload. To counter these effects, the podcast offers ten actionable tips for better glucose management, such as prioritizing fiber-rich foods in your meals, starting with a green appetizer, and overlooking calorie counting in favor of flattening glucose curves. A significant takeaway is the importance of altering the order in which we consume food—eating fiber first, followed by protein and fats, and then carbs—to greatly reduce glucose spikes.
