Jesse, the glucose goddess, shares her insights on improving mental health through diet on The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes. This is part 2 of what I learned from Jesse and Lewis’s talk.

Jesse shares a personal experience of a traumatic operation she had to have after a bad fall. The unprocessed trauma led to mental health problems for eight years. Jesse discovered a connection between glucose spikes and mental health symptoms. Research shows that diet can impact mental health. Jesse used glucose hacks to improve her mental health. She said that this gave her a foundation to build herself back to full health.

A study showed that being in a toxic relationship can lead to irregular glucose levels and increased anger. Signs of imbalanced blood sugar include cravings for sweet foods and chronic fatigue.

Coffee is fine without sugar, but if adding sugar, have it after breakfast. Oat milk is not ideal, but whole-fat dairy or unsweetened almond milk are better options.

Fruits at the supermarket are the result of selective breeding. Eating whole fruit is still the best option for sweetness and fibre. Fruit juice lacks fibre and causes a quick glucose spike. Orange juice should be seen as a dessert, not a breakfast food. A savoury breakfast with protein sets you up for success.

Smoothies are a better option than fruit juice, but still less effective than whole fruit🍉 🍌 🍍. Adding protein to smoothies helps balance the glucose spike.

Focus on feeling good in your body rather than a specific weight loss goal. The messaging around health and wellness is similar in France and America, but there is a stronger culture of cooking and eating together in France which is Jesse’s home country.

Jesse emphasises that weight should not be the focus and that the goal should be overall health. Diet culture and the diet industry are criticised by Jesse for their toxic effects and control over women.

The negative consequences of relying on quick fixes and drugs for weight loss are discussed. The speaker explains that drugs like ozempic can lead to muscle loss and weight regain. The need for a drug to control eating habits is criticized by Jesse and the influence of big food and big Pharma is mentioned.

The importance of understanding how the body works and finding natural solutions is emphasized by Jesse.

Jesse developed a product called anti-spike, which contains four plants that have been found to impact glucose levels. Mulberry leaf, lemon extract, cinnamon and antioxidants from green veggies are the four plants used. Anti-spike capsules reduce the glucose spike of a meal by 40%. The capsules contain a molecule called dnj, which allows sugar to pass through to the microbiome without being absorbed into the bloodstream. Anti-spike is an extra tool to help reduce glucose spikes, but it should not replace other dietary strategies. Jesse recommends visiting the website antispike.com to learn more about the product.

Jesse expresses concern about the disconnection between symptoms and finding the root cause. Symptoms are messages from the body and should be addressed by understanding their underlying causes. Jesse aims to help people reconnect symptoms with lifestyle choices to improve overall health.

In a world of extreme biohacking culture, wearables like glucose monitors and heart rate monitors are popular. However, not everyone can afford these trackers, and the people who need the information the most often cannot afford it. The public health crisis we face cannot be solved by trackers; it requires accessible and easy-to-understand information. Glucose monitors can be useful, but there is still a need for free information without expensive devices.

The Glucose Goddess method provides easy recipes and visual information to help people make healthier choices. The Glucose Goddess method has given hope to many people struggling with nutrition and body image. Jesse is praised by Lewis for bringing back ancient wisdom and applying it to a world of confusion and uncertainty.

The Glucose Goddess method is a guide to cutting cravings, increasing energy, and feeling amazing 🤩. The book is recommended for anyone struggling with nutrition or body image. Jesse’s Instagram and free content provide valuable information for understanding the body and improving health.

That concludes Part 2 of the discussion between Jesse and Lewis. I hope you enjoyed reading and got some value from this article. Stay tuned for more similar articles.
