Episode 375: Clarifying Fasting

Are you still intermittent fasting but not seeing results? Looking to shake things up, build muscle mass, or reign in your cortisol? Tune in to hear us discuss intermittent fasting, how our take on this practice has changed over time, and how we recommend customizing your fast (or not fasting!) to meet your individual needs!    In this episode we talk about why obesity is deeper than calories in and calories out, and dig into different types of fasts and who is the ideal candidate for what type of fast. We’ll also cover who should not fast and instead needs a metabolic refeed! Learn how our stance on fasting has evolved over time, what we’re personally doing in terms of fasting these days, and how you can modify your approach for best results.    Also in this episode:  12 Week Food-as-Medicine Ketosis Program Episode 63: Intermittent Fasting Episode 148: Fasting and MTOR Episode 259: How to do a Bone Broth Fast + Fasting Updates What is fasting and why consider it?
