I’ve found Jessie on Tiktok, I feel Tiktok may be the new Google when it comes to heart, mental health, relationship, fashion and makeup advice.

Jessie was talking on the Feel better live more podcast, she was saying how in the midst of mental health problems like anxiety and fear and even depression, one day whilst tracking her insulin levels she saw how spiked her insulin was on her bad mental days. She then researched more on this topic, as she said, studies were made, she didn’t invented anything new but she did, she did translate to us the population those studies so we can understand them too. She wrote a book about how to get your life back and how to treat the many causes and results of an insulin spike, as in cravings, chronic fatigue, sugar addiction, depression, anxiety, brain fog, pcos, and many more.

She wrote her first book about the 10 things you need to take care of to flatten your glucose and escape and prevent disease but this book The Glucose Goddess Method , she shares the “best practical guide for managing glucose to maximize health and longevity” (David Sinclair, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Lifespan ) with this four-week program to incorporating the principles of how to avoid glucose spikes into your everyday life.

Complete with 100 recipes and an interactive workbook, you are guided through four simple, science-proven ways to steady your blood sugar, gaining boundless energy, curbing your cravings, clearing your skin, slowing your ageing process, and sleeping better than you ever have before. You will create positive new habits for life. The best part? You won’t be counting calories and can still eat all the foods you love.

This is a 4 weeks healing journey that I had started today because of my anxiety, brain fog and many other symptoms I am not okay with.

Ok, so a week had past and the first habit was to eat a savoury breakfast, from a person who isn’t eating in the morning, this habit kept me full until lunch time. And I could skip lunch easily because I’m not hungry anymore, but this happened after a week… in the first week I was so hungry all the time, anyway protein is key to end unnecesary hunger. It’s Sunday, I’ve just took my 7th savory breakkie, and tomorrow I’m starting the vinegar week. Can’t wait for that!

I’m into the second week now and drinking a glass of water with vinegar isn’t that bad, I’m feeling good.

Next week I will have to eat more fiber and in the last week I have to take a walk after I eat. Not a bad combo overall. Easy to maintain, she also gives you a lot of free recipes.

If you wanna start your health journey this book is good to start with.

I loved this author's first book Glucose Revolution: The Life-Changing Power of Balancing Your Blood Sugar. I've also recommended it to a few friends. I will also add that I enjoy her instagram page. It is so informative.

I've heard this author on a few podcasts talking about why she wrote this book to follow her first one. I get the why and I think it will help those who needed to have things broken down into applicable bites. But for me, I'm not in that group. I didn't really get much more from this one. So if one is in the group of needing help to apply her hacks, this is the book for them. So 3 stars.

A brilliant extension to The Glucose Method!!!!

For those that find starting is the hardest part, this book is for you. Over four weeks, Jessie will help you implement every single one of the dietary things you need to do to stabilize your glucose. In addition to 100 recipes, this book reiterates the main points of the initial book, while helping you outline how to implement it into your life. There are working book pages so you can track how meals make you feel, links to online resources and printable grocery shopping guides. The two books together go hand-in-hand and I’m so glad I took the time to read each one.

As I left on my other review, I’ve learned a lot about the glucose method. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll go back down the rabbit hole and find it!

Книгата е чудесно допълнение към Глюкозната революция - допълва някои теми и дообяснява информацията визуално. Супер е за хора, които са чели Глюкозната революция преди време и искат да освежат паметта си с нещо по-цветно и кратко. Става и за такива, които си търсят пряк път към съветите на Джеси, но не им се чете „учебник”, а по-скоро книга с рецепти, като тази. Стъпките за балансиране на нивата на глюкозата тук са по-опростени и подредени като ясен 4-седмичен план, което прави процеса по-ясен. Има рецепти, научна информация и доста обратна връзка от общността.

To start, I want to say that I think the writing is a bit sensationalized. While it’s true that for some people, uncontrolled glucose spikes may lead to health conditions, increased rate of aging, mental health episodes, etc.; for most healthy people not struggling with insulin resistance or uncontrolled glucose levels, I don’t think much, if any, of the advice in this book is necessary. If your body is producing enough insulin and is able to use it properly, you’re probably not experiencing a blood glucose rollercoaster.

Now, if you do struggle with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, diabetes, or another glucose regulation issue, then this book is fantastic. I was recently diagnosed with T2Diabetes. I have a history of restricting and binging and was determined not to spiral back into that cycle after this diagnosis; so I wanted to find a way to help regulate my blood sugar without restricting while still acknowledging that I do now have dietary considerations. This book has been immensely helpful for that!

Pairing my high carb foods with protein, fiber, and fats has made a MASSIVE difference in my BG levels. Eating a savory breakfast very quickly improved my spikes for a whole day, even if my following meals were high in carbs. The ACV “hack” I was quite skeptical of but it actually seems to be working amazingly well. After the same meal with the only difference being an ACV shot 10 minutes before eating by BG was lower by over 30 points!

Lastly, the recipes are wonderful, delicious, and most are very simple. The recipes alone are worth the price of the book in my opinion. So in conclusion, I do think this is a great book with amazing recipes and advice for those with glucose regulation issues. I docked one star because I think the sensationalized writing was an attempt to appeal to a larger crowd, which I understand for marketing, but personally, I think this book is not the most relevant for people that are not struggling with BG regulation.

A simple delight to read. I appreciate Jessie's humour, the visuals, and the easy and non-judgmental way she approaches things. The recipes truly are quick and uncomplicated, which is something I really appreciate. She also has links to a pdf workbook to keep track of how you feel doing the hacks, as well as a grocery list if you want to meal plan.

I definitely recommend it to anyone who is curious about their health and wants something straightforward and not convoluted.

Gorgeous photography, indeed 80% of the recipes actually are easy, good inspo for actually implementing the science of her previous book - for anyone looking for the *quick start guide* to managing glucose, I would recommend this one over the Glucose Revolution! Also she kept it funny and real. Sometimes the jokes were a bit cheesy, but I appreciate she wasn't trying to come off as posh or formal, as I feel like so many recipes books do.

Bonito libro con imágenes a todo color y recetas fáciles y apetecibles.
Su primer libro es completísimo, me gustó muchísimo y lo he recomendado a varias personas.
Este libro es ideal para quien busque inspiración sobre cómo aplicar sus consejos, cómo comenzar de modo sencillo, o necesite ideas de recetas. Para los demás, con el primer libro, es más que suficiente y este no les va a aportar mucho más.

Following the book "The Glucose Revolution," Jessie returns with a concrete plan to implement her advice and avoid glucose spikes. It's a four-week starter kit explaining how to change our lifestyle.

The author starts with a brief summary of glucose, extensively explained in the first book, "The Glucose Revolution," which I recommend starting with, but it can be read separately too.

If you want a lifestyle change based on the author's glucose advice and don't know where to start, this book provides an answer. It's filled with vibrant, appetizing images (and Jessie herself, appearing in various poses jumping on fruits and vegetables 😁).

A 4-week plan is proposed, introducing a new healthy habit each week to control glucose. Starting with a savory breakfast, then adding vinegar once a day, a vegetable snack once a day in the next week, and in the final week, incorporating at least 10 minutes of exercise after a meal.

It seems simple, but organizing what you eat for every meal can be overwhelming and even boring, especially if you want variety. Therefore, the author provides many recipe suggestions for all tastes, some quick to prepare, others more complex.

I appreciated the concise presentation, with ingredients and recipes on one page and presentation images on the other. However, there were too many "community testimonials," whole pages of praise, which can give the impression of being fake. I understand including comments supporting your method, but too much can be overwhelming. Less is more.

My sweet and smart niece in law lent me her copy of this book and I’ve learned so much from it I purchased my own copy. I definitely recommend this book. This isn’t a fad diet; it’s wisdom and great tips for a better way to stay healthy by learning how to keep our blood sugar level.

Not a lot of recipes for a plant based diet and it was mostly anecdotal with lots of reviews from people who were a part of her pilot study. The main tips were helpful but there were no amounts for actual food to eat or the spikes from foods eaten etc. like eat a salad before a meal but how much salad? It lowers your glucose by UP TO a certain percentage but what’s the average? Bread spikes your glucose but how much bread? Is it because it is made of flour instead of the intact grain or because it is a grain? She says eat a savory breakfast but does she just mean no added sugar to your breakfast? it almost left me with more questions than answers. Maybe it’s because I just got done reading how not to die and how not to diet and my expectations are high! Very lackluster book comparatively.

Jessie's glucose hacks are looking for changing for me. I do not feel an afternoon slump, hunger does not feel like an emergency, I have more energy l, clearer skin, clearer thinking, better sleep. This isn't a diet book. There are no food restrictions.ita not about counting calories or macros or drastically changing what you eat. This is a way to manage glucose for health using scientific data. Even for people without diagnosed blood sugar problems.

The sensationalized writing and claims, coupled with the very questionable "science" presented in this book makes it a 1-star for me. I was hoping for more.

Tolle Methode - mittelmäßige Rezepte.

Ich bin großer Fan der Glukose-Hacks, weil ich sie wirklich einfach umzusetzen finde und man sich echt schnell besser fühlt. Im Praxisbuch präsentiert Jessie Inchauspé eine verkürzte Version mit nur 4 Hacks statt der eigentlichen 10, was eine tolle Idee für den Einstieg ist.
Abzug geben für mich die leider die Rezepte. Einige finde ich total lecker, aber einige hätten meiner Meinung nach nicht als einzelnes Rezept stehen sollen, sondern vielleicht als Ergänzung für "Entspannte und Faule". Finde nicht, dass ich eine Anleitung dazu brauche, wie ich Gemüse schneide und eine Rohkostteller anrichte :D...

I wish I had bought the book instead of the kindle version of it. Loved how straightforward it is - tbh I still thought it would include more information, but I haven’t read the Glucose Revolution. Looking forward to reading that in the future.

A great book to work with after reading The Glucose Revolution. It focuses on the most effective glucose hacks and teaches you how to incorporate them into your life. The four week habit building format allows you to routinise these beneficial behaviour. It really works miracles and I’m saying it as a person who had thought for years to be a conscious eater, but experienced glucose spikes and its side effects due to fruit consumption and bad planning with an occasional sugary treat.

I thought this book was good if you’re new to learning about health/wellness. I’ve listened to a few podcasts where she explained her research/process, and I feel like the book just stated what she would talk about in her podcasts.

I thought the recipes were extremely basic (one recipe was ‘boiled eggs’…) definitely not a cookbook worth almost $50 (again, if you’re a beginner it might be worth the investment!!).
The only recipes that were interesting were the apple cider vinegar drinks! Those I want to try out.

3.5? It’s super basic and fast but that’s not a knock against it! Pretty similar to her first book, just more of a how-to feel with recipes. Good starter book if you’re trying to manage blood sugar. Here’s the main points:

Eat a Savory breakfast
Eat Veggies first before your meal
1 tbs vinegar per day
Walk or exercise 10-20 mins w/in 90 mins of eating (at least 1 meal/day - prob not doable for every meal)

Some good tips and I suppose for someone with no health background it’s great.
I didn’t like the sensationalist style that it’s written in and how it was implied that you can basically cure or improve most health conditions if you just control your sugar spikes, I’m sure it does something but not as extreme as it’s suggested.

This book was an entertaining easy read. I like the author's style and the content is really good. The testimonials and questions from the pilot participants added to each section help me with answers and inspiration. The recipes in the book are pretty easy to make. No recipe gymnastics and hard to find expensive ingredients. There are a lot of options for people with diverse palates. The 4 week method is simple to follow and not overwhelming. Start doing week one the keep doing that and add week 2 etc.. Simple baby steps that make it easy to build a habit then jumping in hog wild and causing disappointment and way high expectations. I was able to read all the content in a day. I scanned the recipes and picked out the ones I am going to try.

I read her first book and loved it, and this one is more of a how-to do her method. Very straightforward and easy to understand. The tips and tricks really do work. It’s been 4 weeks, and it wasn’t hard for me to make the changes and the benefits of following her method have been so amazing! I’ve never felt better and have even lost some weight, which I wasn’t expecting. I hardly ever have cravings anymore, which is insane since sugar was my go to and crutch. I look forward to following this method and seeing/feeling the benefits after a longer period of time.
