Episode 362: Julie Shickel

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Julie Shickel from Macungie, PA. Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle. You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like. Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.  IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community. Julie is a certified financial planner. She did not struggle with her weight until after her second pregnancy. She found herself continuously overeating, yet never experiencing true hunger. Julie would then compensate by counting calories. In April of 2021, Julie decided it was time to take care of her health. Two friends had mentioned IF years prior, and she began to do some research. Julie found the IF article in the NEJM and stumbled upon the IF Stories podcast. Julie has lost 15 pounds and feels good in her body. Both her headaches and eczema are gone, her skin has improved, and she sleeps well. Julie’s advice: Listen to this podcast to be inspired! Do you enjoy Intermittent Fasting Stories? You’ll probably also like Gin’s other podcast with cohost Sheri Bullock: Fast.
