It started with a donut.
One morning in her 20s, Jessie Inchauspé says, she grabbed her usual sugary breakfast on her way to work in Silicon Valley — and noticed something strange.
Her new fitness tracker showed her blood sugar spiking, then crashing. The pattern mirrored her bouts of brain fog, anxiety, and exhaustion, she said.
That moment sent Inchauspé — now known to millions online as the Glucose Goddess — down a rabbit hole. She joined a pilot study using a continuous glucose monitor (or, CGM), devices that were typically reserved for people with diabetes, to see how food affected the day-to-day mood and energy of otherwise healthy people.
Years later, she has built a massive brand around the insights she took away from that turning point.
See the three simple changes that she says made the biggest difference for her health, and how they stack up with nutrition advice, at the link in our bio.
