Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1899DM Most pregnant women believe the placenta acts as a filter, protecting their baby from poor food choices. Jessie Inchauspé reveals the startling truth backed by research from Oslo University Hospital: when you have a blood sugar spike, your baby has one too. The placenta doesn't filter. It trusts that whatever is in your bloodstream belongs in your baby's. This isn't about perfect eating or elimination (Jessie survived her first trimester on croissants). It's about understanding the direct connection between what you consume and what reaches your developing baby. She breaks down why pregnancy isn't a free pass to eat unlimited sugar, how glucose spikes impact mental health and emotional stability, and why "eating for two" is one of the most damaging myths in maternal health. The science is clear, the stakes are real, and the practical wisdom here will reshape how you approach pregnancy nutrition.
