Dr. Steven Geanopulos and Andrew Cieply: The Pros and Cons of Fasting and the Mechanism Behind It

This week Dr. Steven Geanopolus and Andry Cieply are with us to continue our conversation from the last episode about fasting. As we begin thinking about our New Year’s resolutions it’s a topic that may be on many people’s minds and so we’re happy to give it some extra attention. In this conversation we delve into the remarkable story of Angus Barbary, who fasted for 382 days, losing 276 pounds. We explore the physiological mechanisms behind extended fasting, the role of ketosis, and the importance of electrolytes. The discussion also critiques recent studies on intermittent fasting and emphasizes the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this conversation, Dr. Steven G and Andy discuss the nuances of fasting, time-restricted eating, and the importance of energy balance in weight management. We explore genetic variations in fat storage, the evolutionary perspective on health, and the challenges faced by individuals on long-term low-calorie diets. We also discuss the significance of muscle building and protein intake in maintaining metabolic health and the potential benefits of reverse dieting for those struggling with weight loss.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Angus Barbary's Story03:00 Physiology of Extended Fasting05:55 The Role of Ketosis in Weight Loss08:38 Electrolytes and Fasting11:44 Intermittent Fasting and Health Concerns19:02 Critique of Nutritional Epidemiology21:52 Personalized Nutrition and Fasting Protocols31:34 Understanding Fasting vs. Time-Restricted Eating35:17 The Role of Energy Balance in Weight Management39:01 Genetic Variations and Their Impact on Weight44:04 The Evolutionary Perspective on Health and Longevity46:23 Challenges of Long-Term Low-Calorie Diets and Reverse Dieting56:20 Introduction to the Podcast and Sponsors56:20 Exploring Health and Wellness Trendshttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12421003/amp/Obese-man-took-radical-approach-weight-loss-not-eating-382-days.htmlDr. GWeb: drsteveng.comInstagram: @drsteveng  Co-Movement GymWeb: co-movement.com/Instagram: @co_movementhqEmail: [email protected] The Co-Movement Gym Podcast is supported by Lombardi Chiropractic, Native Path Supplements, and A Dog’s Day Out Doggie Daycare..
