In this episode, we sit down with biochemist and bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé to explore a question that affects millions of families: how does what you eat during pregnancy shape your baby's health? Jessie explains the science of blood sugar during pregnancy, why glucose spikes matter more than most people realize, and how everyday diet choices can influence everything from maternal energy levels to a baby's long-term metabolic health. We also discuss common nutrition myths, pregnancy cravings, gestational glucose regulation, and simple strategies to keep blood sugar stable.
This conversation breaks down the latest research in a practical, empowering way—so expecting mothers (and anyone planning for pregnancy) can better understand the powerful connection between diet, metabolism, and early development.
If you've ever wondered how nutrition during pregnancy affects the next generation, this episode offers a science-backed look at what really matters.
