What to Eat Before & After Exercise: The Science of Glucose/Fat Burn and Carbs

In this episode of the Glucose Goddess show, Jessie Inchospe discusses the relationship between exercise and nutrition, focusing on how to fuel the body before, during, and after workouts for optimal performance. She explains how the body stores and uses carbs and fats for energy during different intensities of exercise, using VO2 max and heart rate as metrics. Jessie details how the body burns fat for fuel during low-intensity activities and glucose during high-intensity exercises. She also addresses the importance of metabolic flexibility, the role of glucose and fructose intake during prolonged intense exercise, and how to replenish glycogen reserves post-exercise with healthy carbs rather than excessive sugar. The episode also includes information about the host's anti-spike supplement.
