Episode description as stored

Pregnancy only lasts nine months, but what you eat during that time can shape your child for life. Jay Shetty welcomes back biochemist, bestselling author, and “Glucose Goddess” Jessie Inchauspé for a conversation that goes even deeper into the impact she’s had on millions of lives. This time, they focus on something few people truly understand: pregnancy isn’t just a waiting period, it’s a critical window that can shape a child’s physical, mental, and metabolic health for life. Jay and Jessie unpack why so many parents feel under-informed, how outdated myths like “eat for two” still dominate the conversation, and what the science actually reveals about the nine months that truly count forever. Jessie breaks down complex biology into simple, actionable insights. She explains how key factors: blood sugar balance, protein, choline, and omega-3s play a critical role in brain development, metabolism, and long-term disease risk for your child. Jay guides the conversation with curiosity and care, highlighting how small, intentional shifts during pregnancy can create lifelong resilience, while also acknowledging the systemic failures that leave parents without clear guidance or support. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Support Your Baby’s Brain With Just Four Key Nutrients How to Reduce Blood Sugar Spikes That Affect Your Baby How to Build Your Baby’s Brain Before They’re Born How to Lower Your Child’s Lifetime Risk of Diabetes How to Use Protein to Stabilize Energy and Nausea How to Care for Your Mental Health After Miscarriage How to Make Small Food Choices That Create Lifelong Impact Life doesn’t come with a manual, we’re all doing the best we can with the information we have. When we learn more, we can make better choices, not just for ourselves, but for the people whose futures depend on ours.
