Judy Lickus

Ms. Lickus, a qualified nutritionist and health coach, translates complex clinical data into actionable, life-changing tools. As a dedicated "science geek," she bridges the gap between the US National Library of Medicine, the NIH, and the everyday plate.

Since launching her internationally recognized "Cheat Sheet Simply for..." series in 2017, Ms. Lickus has commanded a global following with dedicated editions for USA, Canadian, UK, and French foods. Following two intensive 3-year research projects, she pioneered the connection between high Glycemic Load and chronic health challenges. Her research—highlighted on Page 1 of her foundational 2020 work—exposes the critical link between Glycemic Load levels and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), Type 2 Diabetes, Depression, and certain Cancers.

In her May 2024 release, the Glycemic Load Carb Counter (GLCC), she debuted her Proprietary Smart Chart Tables (TM). She specifically engineered this system to eliminate the "portion-size confusion" common in standard charts by providing the official ISO Available Carb Baseline (e.g., 20g for Cereals or 30g for Bakery) as a verifiable clinical starting point. By mastering this data-driven CGM alternative, her readers achieve "metabolic quiet" through precision whole-food management.

As the founder of the Low Glycemic Happiness community, she lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she starts every day with a sunrise beach walk. Her guiding philosophy remains: “You are what you eat. If you want to change your life, just change your food.”
