  I’ve worked in an NHS mental health hospital for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me the appalling lack of knowledge and awareness medical professionals such as doctors and nurses have when it comes to the link between nutrition and health. The dementia and neuropsychiatry wards are particularly bad where patients who have fasting bloods of 7- 8, and after eating 12-13 is seen as normal and of no concern. <br> <br>I find it ironic that diabetic patients (which there are many) are not allowed to have sugar in their drinks but yet are permitted to eat as much toast, beans, potato, cereal, pasta, rice as they like. I once voiced my concerns about this with a senior nurse, who simply shrugged her shoulders whilst telling me there’s very little sugar in bread, rice or pasta so it was fine. I couldn’t believe this highly experienced nurse didn’t have a clue how carbs are processed in the body. For a second, I was tempted to inform her that these carbs are converted into glucose by the liver causing huge blood sugar and insulin spikes. I thought better of it. My words would’ve almost certainly fallen on deaf ears.<br> <br>Just the other week I witnessed a nurse encouraging a diabetic patient to eat some toast before they go to bed as their bloods were too low 5.8. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. After the toast her bloods shot up to 12! The nurse was happy with this and allowed her to go to bed. <br> <br>Many patients are encouraged to eat three meals per day plus snacks and supper which include pudding after every meal (usually cake and custard). toast, and copious amounts of biscuits. Many patients who’s bloods are too low (5-6 range) for their insulin shots are encouraged to eat several biscuits so they can get their shot. <br> <br>Patients who refuse meals as they’re simply NOT HUNGRY are regularly bullied into submission and virtually force fed. Nurses and staff go into a blind panic thinking that missing a meal or two will somehow have a detrimental effect. For those who don’t cave into the pressure it’s not long before the Ensures (full of sugar) are being pushed upon them. It’s a farce. <br>As a result of this appalling lack of understanding around nutrition many patients pile on the weight, and their condition deteriorates rapidly. Many patients are on a whole cocktail of drugs which seem to have very little positive effect whatsoever. In fact, I’m convinced many suffer detrimental side effects as a result.<br> <br>This is an NHS hospital where patients are supposed to come to get better. It’ a sad state of affairs! What the heck is going on!?

  She is a great communicator. Thomas speaks too much but she goes straight to the point without playing around the bushes. I like her style a lot!!

  My takeaway is that fat and fiber are protective against glucose spikes.

  I&apos;m 65. From the age of 20, I&apos;ve gotten up EVERY morning and drunk a big mug of hot water (not too hot) with apple cider vinegar in it. I&apos;m healthy, can run up stairs, take a lot of supplements but NO drugs. Keep moving or you&apos;ll rust! A few tweaks to your life and you make good habits that will keep you healthy and happy. I avoid trends and extremes. (Just my 2 cents!).

  Sadly, medical professionals are not keeping pace with the dangers of sugar. I used to work at a chemotherapy clinic. The first thing they offered patients after treatment was juice and cookies. Cancer cells feed off of sugar.

  Great interview, Jessie made it fun. Imagine if kids learned this stuff in elementary school, instead of some of the nonsense we were taught in school, and is still being taught like the food pyramid.

  Jessie is so awesome. I love that she doesn’t pretend to know what she doesn’t know. But I LOVE that she backs what she says with science. And she’s so holistic - so balanced.
