Part of the Books I Love series
In the Books I Love series, I’ll share with you some of my favorite books. These will usually be nutrition books, but from time-to-time, you’ll find lifestyle books and novels within the theme of food and healthy living. I’ll be keeping the format short and sweet and in a simple easy-to-read list form. Hope this installment inspires you to pick up a copy of Glucose Revolution!
Glucose Revolution
Balancing blood sugar is crucial not just for those with diabetes but for everyone. Decreasing glucose spikes can help with issues like carb cravings, sleep problems, headaches, and even long-term health concerns such as dementia and cancer just to name a few. Jessie Inchauspé’s “Glucose Revolution” offers insights and practical tips for everyone interested in better health.
So remember this: health and weight loss have more to do with what molecules you ingest than the number of calories in what you eat. It means we can, without fear, add calories to a meal if the calories help curb the glucose spike of that meal…

Why I love this book…
- Structured Learning: I love that the book is set up into three parts. The first two parts explain what glucose is, how it functions in our bodies, and why glucose spikes can be harmful. The last part shares actionable steps to manage glucose levels effectively.
- Approachable Expert: Jessie is a fun and knowledgeable guide. She’s brilliant but approachable, making complex topics easy to understand.
- Practical Tips: She provides 10 recommendations for decreasing blood sugar spikes that are easy to incorporate into daily routines. These tips are simple yet effective.
- Real-World Data: Jessie uses real-world data from her community of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) users, alongside facts about biochemistry and research studies, to support her advice.
- Real-Life Stories: The book is filled with real-life stories from people who have tried her suggestions. These examples demonstrate how real people fit Jessie’s glucose hacks into their personal routines.
- Cheat Sheets: I love a good cheat sheet, and this book has an entire section devoted to them. Her cheat sheets provide guidance for specific real-world situations and how to navigate them effectively.
The more I’ve learned, the more I’ve realized that there is no benefit to extreme diets – especially because dogmas can easily be abused.
