Bonjour! I’m Mathieu Vallart

ABOUT ME

You can probably guess by my name that I am French. I also spent the past 15 years living in the beautiful Latin American cities of Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires in Argentina, and Mexico City.

Food is my passion!

I learned how to cook at a young age and spent many happy childhood hours in my parents’ kitchen. We lived on a vineyard in the south of France. I began by helping my mother prepare simple, delicious family meals. When I was old enough, I started to practice on my own, experimenting with recipes and cooking techniques. Before long, I was bold enough to put my skills to the test: when journalists and other professionals in the wine industry came to visit, I planned and prepared elaborate high-end dinners.

Living in Latin America opened my eyes to an entirely new dimension of cooking. The influence of diverse cultures, new ingredients, indigenous techniques, fantastic flavors, and different lifestyles had a profound impact. The experience completely changed the results in the kitchen.

ABOUT GLUCOSE CHEF

As I entered into my 40s, I realized my lifestyle had veered away from the French traditions I had inherited. I was on the road a lot, working long hours with a corporate role that brimmed with stress and responsibility. It was affecting my body, and not in a good way.

My belly had grown. I had less energy. It was not a dramatic shift, but my physique wasn’t what it used to be and I didn’t like it. My body fat had been slowly increasing… and something had to be done.

Since then, I have been relentless in my quest to understand how nutrition relates to my metabolism and the way I look and feel. I took a deep dive into methods of managing blood sugar levels so I could achieve my health and fitness goals.

I rediscovered the heritage of French culinary wisdom that I had strayed from.

Getting back to my roots and back to the kitchen allowed me to discover the healthy and pleasurable recipes that would bring me back to my slim figure.

When Continuous Glucose Monitors became readily available, I took advantage of the opportunity to better understand my metabolism. The vast insight I gained allowed me to go beyond general culinary rules and adjust the food I eat. Now the things I put in my body are the things that are best for my body.

My diet is unique, and yours should be too! Together, we can go on a journey to better health and a slim, sexy aesthetic as we discover how your body works and how to eat for both health and pleasure.

Welcome – I’m so happy you’re here!
