What's Glucose?

Glucose is our body's preferred source of energy. Every cell in our body uses glucose to perform its function: our lung cells to breathe, our brain cells to think, our heart cells to pump blood, our eye cells to see, and so on. 
Glucose is found mostly in foods we call "carbohydrates" (or "carbs"): starchy foods (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes) and sugary foods (fruit, sweets, desserts).
You may think that if we need glucose for energy, more glucose will give us more energy, so we should try to eat as many sugary and starchy foods as possible, right? Actually, that's not the case: a plant needs some water to live, but if you give it too much it dies. In the same way, give a human too much glucose and bad things start happening.
When we deliver too much glucose too quickly to our body during a meal, we experience what is called a glucose spike. This is not something that only affects people with diabetes. Most of us experience glucose spikes (about 80% of the population, according to some US estimates), and unfortunately, these spikes carry with them consequences that can harm both our physical and our mental health.Type your paragraph here.

​These spikes and drops leave us feeling tired, give us strong cravings, make us feel hungry every two hours, and cause inflammation, ageing (and wrinkles!), low mood, hormonal imbalances that can result in difficult menopause symptoms, PCOS, brain fog.. and in the long term, conditions like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's symptoms. Scary, I know. But the good news is that we don't have to live with them.

This Method has been used by thousands to regulate their glucose, and the results are astonishing. You will gain boundlessenergy,curb your cravings, clear your skin,slow your ageing process,reduce inflammation, rebalanceyour hormones, improve your mood and sleep better than you have ever done before. You will create positive new habits for life. The best part?
You won't be counting calories, and you'll eat everything you love.

THE SCIENCE BIT!

When we experience glucose spikes, the spike doesn't just happen in our bloodstream. Every single one of our cells, organs and body parts feels it.
Glucose disperses into every nook and cranny of our body, and three main processes are set in motion within us.

1) Mitochondria
First, our mitochondria (the powerhouses of our cells) become overwhelmed. These organelles are responsible for transforming glucose into energy for the body. But during a glucose spike, the amount of glucose coming their way becomes too much to handle. They become stressed and shut down. This leads to inflammation, and reduces their ability to make energy properly. The result: chronic fatigue

2) Glycation
The more glucose spikes we experience, the faster we age.
Glucose spikes accelerate a process called glycation, which is responsible for ageing. It isactually similar to cooking, just like a chicken cooks in the oven. From the moment a human is born, they slowly cook via this process of glycation. Then, when they are fully cooked, they die. Each glucose spike accelerates glycation. This shows on our skin with wrinkles, as well as internally as our organs slowly deteriorate. Glycation also increases inflammation, just like the first mitochondria-related process.

3)Insulin
Our body has a clever protection mechanism to shield us from some of the damage done by elevated glucose levels. During a glucose spike, our pancreas sends out a hormone called insulin, whose job it is to take glucose out of the bloodstream, to reduce the mitochondrial damage and glycation taking place. What does this insulin do with excess glucose? It stores it in our liver, muscles and fat cells. This is one of the ways we gain fat on our body. And we should be thankful for this, because without insulin our body would be in a state of permanent crisis. The downside is that when insulin is present, fat-burning is deactivated. And over time, too much insulin carries with it its own consequences, such as the development of hormonal issues or type 2 diabetes.

​Is the GLUCOSE GODDESS METHOD for you?
It was once believed that only people with diabetes needed to care about their glucose levels. But reviewing the latest scientific progress shows that the majority of the population experiences glucose spikes, and they can lead to a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
