Is fasting a FAD?

Is fasting just another trendy wellness fad, or is it something much older? In this episode, we’ll explore the history of fasting…. From our hunter-gatherer ancestors who lived in cycles of scarcity and plenty, To the religious traditions that ritualized and made sacred their abstention from food, To the popular protocols of the modern era, like 16:8 and OMAD. Along the way, I’ll share my own experiences with fasting and offer practical guidance for those curious about trying it. I want to learn from you… What fasting method(s) have you tried?
