French biochemist and founder of the Glucose Goddess platform whose Glucose Revolution translates continuous glucose monitoring research into practical dietary hacks for general readers.

Jessie Inchauspé is a French biochemist who became interested in glucose metabolism after a personal health event and began wearing a continuous glucose monitor to track her own blood sugar responses to different foods and behaviors. Her social media platform, the Glucose Goddess, built an audience of millions around her accessible explanations of glucose spikes and their effects on energy, mood, hunger, and long-term metabolic health before she published Glucose Revolution in 2022.

The book’s core message — that the order in which you eat foods at a meal, the addition of vinegar before eating, and eating something savory before something sweet can flatten post-meal glucose spikes — is based on real metabolic research and her own self-tracking experiments. Inchauspé presents these findings as “hacks” rather than dietary rules, which lowers the barrier to application and has resonated strongly with readers who have found the glucose lens explanatory for their own energy and hunger patterns.

The scientific community’s reception has been more cautious. Critics note that the book relies heavily on self-experimentation and individual-level data, that the relationship between glucose spikes in non-diabetic people and long-term health outcomes is far from settled, and that some of Inchauspé’s stronger claims outrun the evidence. These are legitimate methodological concerns. As an introduction to glycemic thinking and a set of low-effort dietary adjustments, Glucose Revolution offers accessible, practical ideas — but readers should hold the science with appropriate uncertainty.
