I confirm: your hacks work for menopause!! I discovered you just a month ago and thought: hey, let's have a try, it's so easy and fun! And just in a week or so I was not anymore waking up "in a sauna" 10 times a night! Just starting with salad/greens, even for breakfast, keeping my sweet teeth for the end of the meal and dancing 10 min after that, out of joy for feeling sooo much better! You are my star! 🙏🤩😍💖

Can you please share what you did. I'm really suffering because of menopause. What supplements do you take

[@g.butterly8294]

I dont take any supplement (exept magnesium and Vitamine D) and as already said, I just started to follow the hacks that you can find in the description of the video. I explore to try to find solutions to this "life tsunami" I had never imagine. But I take this challenge as a chance to get closer to my body and to myself... a sort of mindfulness journey. As each woman has to deal with different challenges, there is no map that fit all the worlds, we have to find our own way. I wish you all the best for your own journey. ❤

[@Brana24]

I tried natural supplements but did not work, I had no choice but had to start HRT. I am only 41. I had very bad hot flushes, body pain and not regular period. Please if you have any idea how to manage naturally, let me know.

Hi beautiful intelligent Queen-Angel you! Thank you for thinking about us who need this info. 3 weeks ago I started eating in the right order: savory breakfast, my vinegar w/the mother, more movement and my Hormone therapy was re-established after getting my basic education on how to keep healthy and happy. No longer do I eat a big bowl of oats with skimmed milk for breakfast as my doctor had strongly suggested to lower my cholesterol. within 3 weeks I noticed a substantial difference on how my body feels. Thank you and much love to you! PS: I am 72 yrs old and feeling great; it is never too late!

[@marisa9600]

I was listening to this while in the shower, looked down and was SHOCKED to discover that I had only lost a few strands of hair!!! After years of losing a clump of hair dialy, I am flabbergasted to lose so little. I have only been following the hacks for 2.5 weeks and have already lost 8 pounds, stopped my back pain, stopped this pervasive pain behind my eyes that I have suffered with for years, and stopped daytime crashes (which was the reason I started to follow the advice in the first place). #GlucoseGoddess, your method should be taught in schools. It should be a pamphlet in every doctors office. It should be a part of advice given by nutritionists. It should be part of best practices for every camp, cafeteria or program providing food for kids. I have realized, at nearly age 50, that I have been on a roller coaster of glucose spikes for my entire life and that it has impacted my physical and reproductive health in so many ways. I also realize that my daughter is following the same pattern. Please keep teaching. And please keep pushing to get your easy tips into more hands! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been wearing a CGM for a week and I can already see how much I have been spiking and crashing.. and I can see the effects certain foods have on my glucose levels. I have used some of your hacks and can see a difference on the monitor. I love your videos are so educational but so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@ZsuzsaKarolySmith]

Same here! I was astounded how just two slices of toast with bananas spiked my BG and an hour later my levels crashed. This didn’t use to be a problem before, but now close to menopause it suddenly causes problems. But if I go for a brisk walk right after eating, my levels stay stable, even if I eat carbs! I would have never believed that without seeing it on the CGM with my own eyes!

Do you think a cgm is a must l would hate to cause more anxiety for myself

[@michellewilson1221]

@@joanneclark8256 I think it is an individual decision. I am a visual person, who likes hard results/data, so it helps me to see what my body really is ok with and what it's not ok with. I am seeing I am way more carb sensitive than I thought. So without the cgm, I would never known that. But, if you are a person that thinks it would cause anxiety, then its ok not to use one. They aren't permanent, so you could do a trial and see how it goes. I won't wear one forever. I was just diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia from gastric bypass surgery. So I will wear one for awhile until I get my diet down and under control.

"PCOS is not something that you are born with; it's usually just a consequence of this glucose and insulin issue happening within."

[@aransamsan]

I actually read in a few places that in some cases, PCOS is something that in fact you can be born with... I am not the only one in my family either, my mom, aunt and some of my cousins also have PCOS, and type 1 diabetes also runs in the family.... So I do believe that, in our case at least, there's something in our genes that messes up with our ability to process sugar 🤷‍♀️

[@cwlj16]

​@@aransamsan Agree. It runs rampant along with type 2 diabetes. Even back in the 50s-60s when my family was poor, living off garden raised foods and basically no processed food, most were still very overweight, especially the women.

Dropped some KG as a nice side effect! A lot of people haven't seen me for 2 weeks due to half term, I've had so many comments about how well I'm looking (and I was feeling / looking really poorly before, having been hospitalised twice so far this year, so I must be looking well 😂 ).

[@joanneclark8256]

I was told you will kess up carb receptors if you fully only eat meat.. is that what you do? And how long? What about microbiome

[@Hertz2laugh]

@@joanneclark8256 There are no "carb receptors". Maybe they meant insulin receptors. In any case, there are no studies that show any negative long-term effects of eating a meat-heavy or meat-only diet. Some studies have shown a loose *_association __*_ with heart disease, but association doesn't mean causation - police have a strong association with crime but that doesn't mean police _*__cause_* crime. Microbiome won't be negatively effected. All that will happen is that the microbes that live off of fiber will go into hibernation until fiber is reintroduced. Your nutrition and microbiome will be just fine. You might need to take it slow if you want to reintroduce fiber. Give a little time to let the microbiome readjust. Not a big deal. I did 90 days of meat/eggs only. Since then I have done almost 2.5 years of meat, eggs, seafoods, low-carb veggies, butter, a *_little bit_* of other dairy, salt, and water. I limit myself to 20g carbs per day at absolute maximum. Completely reversed my insulin resistance and prediabetes. lost 60lbs of excess fat too.

[@PFCNordic1]

PMS is mostly associated with a surge of a hormone called allopregnenolone which act as a «thief that steals» your progesterone whose level plummet for a day or two a few days before the period starts. Apart from «right diet», I’ll recommend using natural progesterone cream from ovulation to Mens.

This had some great information, I was particularly interested in learning more about Endometriosis, however I did not hear or read anything about it, only PCos. I would definitely appreciate information on endometriosis

[@kov40]

Endometriosis is also linked to inflammation (or causing it), so I guess these tips for a truly healthy lifestyle go a long way with Endometriosis, too. I was never diagnosed with endometriosis, but always had severe menstrual pain, and adopting a "glucose aware" eating habit helped massively with PMS symptoms and pain. The pain comes from the same type of body cells that endometriosis is made of, so glucose/insulin on one hand and inflammation (prostaglandines) on the other hand definitely are at work there, too. Additionally to eating with glucose in mind (at least during the luteal phase/two weeks before menstruation), taking omega-3 fatty acids as a supplement helped me to keep inflammation in check.

There are many women with T2 diabetes without PCOS though. So insulin resistance leads to PCOS only in some women. There is a reason though why some people react to the same diet differently. I have had PCOS/IR since I was 12 years old and there must be a genetic factor why the same diet triggers insulin resistance in some and not in others.

Please discuss oxalate and lectin containing foods and how it effects gut health and absorption. Inflammation from high histamine foods (even healthy foods) can also spike blood sugar, especially if you have a histamine sensitivity.

[@joanneclark8256]

Oh wow more crap to worry about so do you only eat meat???

[@debraswiatek9011]

No, I eat chicken, turkey, pork, eggs (I try to avoid red meats.) low histamine veggies- asparagus, arugula, watercress, lettuce, onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, jicama . Bread, rice, pasta, corn- all elevate me. The issue with histamine intolerance- sometimes, certain foods will elevate my blood sugar and sometimes it won't. Many contributing factors- stress, how much histamine is already in the system, etc. The usual big offenders are: avocado, chocolate, coffee, wine, beer. Many "healthy" foods containing lectins and oxalates are high histamine. Think nightshades- potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms, sweet bell peppers, hot peppers. Oxalates- spinach, sweet potatoes and almonds. So, all of the foods I love Do I ever eat them? Yes, but in small quauntities- once in awhile.! But, there are many left that don't trigger reactions. I substitute arugula for spinach. I sub coconut milk for cow's milk. I drink low histamine mold free coffee. It would be easier if it was a true food allergy. I would simply avoid it. This is definitely trickier. It's all trial and error. Reactions can include rash, itching, hives swelling, headaches, sleeplessness, GI issues- gas, bloating- all the way up to vomiting, diahhrea and the worst, anphalaxis. Believe it or not, Nsaids- Advil, Aleve, aspirin, even prescribed Nsaids. Yes, these are the drugs that are supposed to take inflammation down- all can make you swell- if you're sensitive to them. Chemicals inside the home as well as outside: household cleaners, perfumes, food colorings, hair dyes, air pollution from factories, cars- it all matters. A good website to check out regarding histamine intolerance (including food lists) MastCell360. Loads of great information about food here.

Hi Jessie, could you do a post about berberine and other supplements that might decrease insulin resistance? Thank you for your videos!

[@maroniali31]

She did mention berberine in one of her videos. It takes month of taking berberine untill it actualy has influence on the insulin/glucose levels.

[@Maliilse75]

@@maroniali31 Did you mean "months" or "one month"? Do you have the link to the video?

[@Maliilse75]

@@maroniali31 This is an interesting scientific article on berberine's efficiency: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6434235/

You can’t just take a supplement and insulin resistance goes away. It’s a diet change first and foremost. Spend time researching - it’s all online!

I have deep infiltrative endometriosis, which resulted in a lot of pain in my lifetime, infertility (duh), a partial bowel resection and 4 surgeries... And excellent metabolic health, according to my glucose and insulin, my weight and a bio impedance measurement.

I’ve only just found out that menopause (oestrogen deficiency in particular) can mess up glucose regulation, even without diabetes - why don’t our doctors warn us about that? This can have detrimental effects on our health long term and eventually lead to diabetes and all other associated risks (CVD, dementia, etc) if we’re not careful!
