Use These FOOD HACKS To Boost Energy, END CRAVINGS & Reduce Inflammation | Jessie Inchauspé

CAUTION: The advice in this episode may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before making changes to your diet.

My 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’t necessarily need to change what you eat – just how.

As a child, my mother would get up every morning and make us eggs, bacon/sausage, grits with butter before she had to be at work at 8:00 AM. We never had a sweet breakfast. When I went off to college I was introduced to sweetened oatmeal and dessert at every meal. Weight gain, depression, bulimia, and fibromyalgia followed for decades. Now I follow intermittent fasting, eat whole foods and limited starches. At 69, I feel better than I did at 19. Food can be medicine or poison. Thank you for this chat!

I saw Jessie discussing this on the Diary of a CEO podcast and thought, 'No way can eating veggies first make that much difference'. Well, I'm wearing a continuous glucose monitor and am astonished at the results. I've only been doing this for 2 days, but the impact has been immediate. I've gone from peaking my postprandial glucose levels at over 20 mmol/L to my highest peak being 10.4 mmol/L, and that was after having a jacket potato - I decided to really test this with something that would typically cause me to spike very high. I also added a few small gherkins to my veggies to replace drinking vinegar in water. I can barely believe what I see in the readings, but I can feel the difference, so I know it's true. Why doesn't the NHS let all the diabetics know about this?

I love Jessie Inchauspé. She's a legit health/wellness rock star. She is saving and changing lives.

A few days ago I didn't know Jessie. I'm obese and 3 weeks ago I decided "that's enough, I don't feel good anymore, this has to change!". So I went on the web and watched and listened to various experts but I was not satisfied. I'm scientifically educated but I knew nothing about biochemistry or metabolic mechanisms. At that time I had already suppressed all junk food from my diet (1.5 liter of Ice Tea and 4 or 5 sugar cubes in my coffee per day, pasta, rice and potatoes - fried most of the time - as my staple diet) and to make good measure I had introduced more fibers to my diet by eating green vegetables and berries. After 3 days my blood pressure went from 140/90 under medication to 125/85 so I decided to stop the medication. My blood pressure has remained there, sometimes even lower. My ankles and legs that were extremely swollen, all of a sudden had deflated completely. My chronic heartburn of 20 years+ also disappeared and I don't take anymore my 40mg/day of pantoprazole. Then I discovered Dr Lustig. He instantly became one of my gurus, confirming through his scientific lectures what I probably felt intuitively. Somehow he made me understand that I was probably not only obese but on my way to T2 diabetes and NAFLD, which reinforced my determination though shifting my focus from weight loss to avoidance of metabolic diseases. But I had the feeling that something was still missing, so I started research on how digestion works. Then literally 2 days ago I tumbled on Jessie. Immediately she became extremely inspiring to me: maths studies, biochemistry, investigations into unfamiliar territories and vulgarization. In addition she's French - like me - and very charismatic. I won't research any further as I feel through a few channels like yours and Dr Lustig and Jessie I now have all the information I need to change my life once and for all. Weight loss starts showing (3kg in 3 weeks), my determination is ironclad thanks to you all!

This woman is changing so many people's lives for the better. She's down to earth, realistic and doesn't ask for any huge dietary changes, no cutting out or cutting down, just simple changes that are SO easy to incorporate. OK, a ripple effect may happen over time, but the initial changes require no extra effort.

This is one of the most helpful videos for me right now because I am 71 yrs old and battling glucose spikes. No energy. This is a Godsend for me. THANK YOU!

[nahkalahdeyoung]

Im surprised no1 has done a study on how eating sugar can cause worsened cravings in drug addiction. Im a recovered Hetoin addict. An once i got my diet better i noticed i stopped thibking about using drugs. An when i slipped with carbs, i would notice if started to get cravings for drugs back. I swear there should ABSOLUTELY DO A STUDY ON THIS!

1. Veg first
2. Proteins n fats second
3. Starch and sugars / carbs last

[biankablack]

I've seen three interviews with Jessie Inchauspé and I just want to thank Rangan for asking the questions that matter most. So many podcasters don't talk about holistic approaches and the role of moderation even when the guest is advocating that approach. Marvelous show!

[katheyjberry]

Little did I believe in my 76 years, I would say advice could be life-changing - least of all a podcast. This one is! Well done.

She is fantastic communicator . She can speak the details which we think but cannot explain so easily.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Both of you are an inspiration. I am a 72 year young Native American Elder. As a grand and great grandmother I am always looking for ways to share our traditions with the next generation and work diligently at tying to bring in as much science as I can to prove how and why these ancient wisdom's still work today! For generations we never had so many emotional illnesses, because we ate the food we honored, as we took it naturally/freshly from the land.
My travels to Japan have shown me how the pickled veggies served as appetizers (bringing in the acids of the vinegar) and the abundance of veggies served prior to the raw fish or other high protein entree', followed by a fruity sweet treat or a very tiny portion of sherbet has helped them stay so fit for life. There is very little obesity, diabetes, or short life expectancy.
I see how the Eskimo folks of the far north tribes stay healthy and fit by eating the best natural, seasonal foods with no processed foods or artificial sugars. It only makes sense that it is time for the world to get away from the crazy processed food chain and reach for more normal blood glucose levels, through your wise and easy to follow recommendations.
There is even a chance the world could find a more spiritual way to be, if folks were not hopped up (ADHD etc) on glucose spikes! Best wishes for ever!

Keep in touch with the idea that unattended emotional/mental issues will flare up as physical symptoms too.
When Jessie spoke of feeling different after her accident and surgery, I could relate. Everything changed for me after a scoliosis surgery at 11 years old. My whole system changed developing allergies, asthma, eczema, and by 22 was on my way to full blown Crohn's disease that nearly killed me.
One of the things my body was speaking to me about was unattended trauma that peaked with the initial surgery. I believe food habits (cravings) can easily be another way the body is trying to get my mind's attention. eat the food have the symptoms figure out the puzzle.
The kicker is, how long has western culture insisted that the body is just a machine; a bag of parts to be manipulated into what we want, to be subdued when acting out?
It took me decades to see that there is a language of body being missed, and that break is the main cause of continued unnecessary suffering.
And which comes first, the symptom or the mental/emotional suffering?

She’s saying it’s not too hard because it’s the same food, but I actually like how the food tastes together and how the taste of the vegetables complement the meat taste when I eat. So the pleasure of eating is immensely reduced when I eat food in a certain order. Unfortunately. I haven’t read her book so maybe if I do, there’s a way to go around this…

[AHEUTUBE]

Jesi is so naturally beautiful and has a genuine personality. When she smiles, she melts my heart. I started today eating my veggies first.

[OlgaFyodorova]

I started intermittent fasting in 2019 and kept doing it till late 2022 - and during 2022 I was gaining weight. I gave up trying to lose weight and tried eating normally - which is more or less healthy because I cook most of my meals. But I noticed I started snacking more and drinking sweet stuff like soda and juice more. I gained some more weight and I wasn't too happy with my eating habits. Then I stumbled on Jessie's interview - I think it was on the Diary of a CEO - and it was so interesting I wanted to try right away. Well, I reintroduced intermittent fasting AND using Jessie's hacks for stabilizing glucose levels. I don't measure my glucose, but I feel fantastic. I hardly want anything sweet. I can easily skip a meal and not feel any lack of energy. And I started losing weight. Actually, when I think of it, my favorite foods are fiber, protein and fat. I love salads, meat, beans, eggs - and I'm not really a fan of bread and pasta. I love that I can eat 2 times a day and not feel hungry or dying from a rapid glucose fall. I love food but I hate thinking about it many times a day and having to throw something in the furnace to keep going.

[AewonWolf]

I’ve been using the hacks she shared on another podcast I fist saw her on and since then I’ve noticed that most of my snack cravings have gone. Even when my partner stocked up our house with a bunch of snacks which I usually can’t help but eat quickly, I haven’t even touched one and I don’t even want to. Its crazy how small changes make the biggest differences. Keep up the great work sharing this life changing information 🙏🏿

[nancyloveleafygreens]

While working with five year olds in a program at the YMCA, there was one sweet little guy who would occasionally get crazy and once tried to bite me during a fit. Talking with his mother, I asked if she'd noticed patterns of such behavior connected with sugary foods for breakfast. As she thought about it, I saw her see the light as she nodded yes, he'd had toaster waffles with syrup that morning. It's so important for everyone to learn about this! <3 Many thanks for this interview, which I'm sharing with friends. XOXOX

[mikedowd]

I regularly listen to podcasts like this one and I believe this doctor is one of the very best interviewers out there. Thanks!!
