Hey there! š

Ever heard of the Glucose Goddess? If not, letās get into it because her insights might just change the way you see your plate (and maybe, your energy levels too!). š½ļø Jessie InchauspĆ©, a biochemist turned social media sensation, has been shaking things up with her Glucose Revolution, and trust me, itās worth paying attention to. š
Ā

So, whatās the big deal about glucose anyway? Well, as Jessie explains it, glucose is our bodyās primary source of energy. But when blood sugar spikes too oftenāthanks to that donut or extra helping of riceāit can lead to energy crashes, mood swings, and those pesky sugar cravings. š Plus, over time, those ups and downs can mess with our metabolism, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight and even putting us at risk for conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Thatās why sheās all about keeping glucose steady, and sheās got some pretty easy tricks to help us out. š¤
Ā
Ā
One of Jessieās key lessons? Eat your food in a specific order. Veggies first, proteins and fats second, and carbs last. š„¬šš§š It sounds so simple, right? But this little trick helps slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, which means fewer spikes and more steady energy. Think of it like giving your body a slow-release fuel instead of a quick sugar rush.

Ā
And then thereās the power of pairing carbs with fiber, fat, or protein. For example, if youāre going to enjoy some bread, adding a little avocado or nut butter can work wonders for keeping those blood sugar levels in check. š„š„ Ā Itās all about balance, not deprivation. Jessieās advice really speaks to our inner foodieāyou can still enjoy the carbs, just pair them wisely as sheās not anti-sugar, she loves sugar and carbs, but sheās pro-knowledge and wants everyone to learn how to eat what we like. š¤Æ

Sheās also a big fan of taking a little walk after eating. š¶āāļø It doesnāt have to be anything intenseājust a 10-minute stroll around the block can help lower the glucose spike from a meal. Jessieās approach is so refreshingly doable; itās all about adding small habits that stack up to big changes which we already saw research that says the same in our previous deep dives. š

And speaking of balance, this is where our beloved āŖOleia SoftgelsāŖ can slide into the conversation. š«

You see, while weāre making those dietary shifts to keep blood sugar stable, thereās another piece of the puzzleāmanaging inflammation. āļø Ah pesky inflammation! Blood sugar spikes are often linked to inflammatory responses in the body, which can mess with everything from digestion to recovery after a workout. Thatās where Oleia Softgels, with their blend of Cetyl Myristoleate, Olive Oil, and Moringa Seed Oil, come in. Theyāre formulated to help calm that inflammation, offering a bit of extra support to our bodies as we work towards better blood sugar control. šŖ
Ā
Ā
Itās like thisāif Jessieās tips are about controlling the immediate spikes, Oleia Softgels are here for the long game, keeping those inflammation levels in check. āļø Think of it as a tag-team approach: one tackles the rollercoaster ride of glucose, while the other smooths out the bumps for a more balanced, feel-good ride. š
Ā
And really, thatās what weāre after, right? Balance. Feeling good from the inside out without the all-or-nothing mindset. Because, letās be honest, lifeās too short to give up on all the yummy stuff completely. š But if we can enjoy it while staying steady and feeling our best, then why not?
