Are you on a journey toward better health? Are you aware of an inner knowledge, perhaps telling you that you already know the thing you need to do? Sometimes an inner guidance system whispers, sometimes it screams. We should build awareness to listen. We will get a great perspective from "The Mountain is You."

Fasting space is about opening up to the ability of the body to heal in both body, mind and spirit. If we only get out of our own way. That might look like losing weight or improving metabolic health. It might look like something deeper. It's a blessing to have you here.  In Health,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

This session is going to focus on the role that fear plays on our health and weight loss journey. Sometimes we can be acting out of fear and not even know it. When we are fearing something we end up giving it power. This is a process that can actually drive the opposite of what we want! Lets build courage and overcome fear together as we overcome the obstacles holding us back.

There are many common types of experiences that "trigger" us into unhealthy patterns or behaviors. We tend to look at these triggers as problems in and of themselves. The real unlock is to realize that the triggers are actually clues to the things we really want in life. When we take triggering emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, embarrassment, jealousy, resentment and regret to a much deeper level the can become trampolines that springboard us into action and progress.  Lets move forward together.

In this interview, I sit down with Michelle Pitot, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, to discuss the emerging field of Metabolic Psychology. If you’ve struggled with "food noise," emotional eating, or feel like your mental health is a barrier to your physical goals, this conversation is for you.We explore why metabolic health is about much more than just the scale. It's about providing the brain with the energy it needs to regulate emotions and process trauma. Michelle shares her journey of moving beyond traditional talk therapy to incorporate nutritional foundations that help her patients find deep, lasting healing. I bring in a thoughtful and gentle fasting-based perspective to the discussion as well. In Health, Phil Zimmermann, MD00:00 – Welcome and Introduction to Michelle Pitot 00:55 – What is a Metabolic Psychologist? 01:54 – The Link Between Brain Fuel and Emotional Struggles 03:00 – Why the "Standard American Diet" is Failing Your Brain 03:47 – Beyond the Sugar Crash: The Long-Term Deficit 04:58 – Dr. Z’s Perspective: The Crisis of Chronic Disease 06:56 – 90% of Serotonin is Produced in Your Gut 08:08 – Moving Beyond the "Pill First" Medical Model 09:37 – Why Old Traumas Surface When You "Clean Up" Your Diet 11:18 – Metabolic Psychiatry: The Deep Mind-Body Connection 13:27 – "Franken foods" and Biohacking Your Own Biology 15:54 – Overcoming the Outsourced Health Mindset 17:44 – Experimenting with an "N of 1" Approach 18:33 – Using Fasting Windows to Create Emotional Space 19:53 – How Nutrition and Fasting Can Quiet "Food Noise" 21:58 – The Body Keeps the Score: Creating Physical and Emotional Safety 24:06 – Chronic Inflammation as the Root of Chronic Disease 26:17 – Putting Serious Mental Illness Into Remission 27:50 – First Do No Harm: The Power of Unprocessed Foods 28:30 – Upcoming Projects: The Cholesterol Code Documentary Check out Michelle's Website:https://www.michellepitot.comUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://drzmethod.comSimple Fasting Podcast, Consulting and more:https://simplefasting.com

We often think we need the perfect motivation to take action in health. It's often the other way around. Feelings can be fleeting. It is often when we take action without the feeling that we make the most progress. The amazing part is that the feeling often chases the action.

So many times the choices we make, and their significance, gets buried in the midst of the routine of life. If we want to make progress moving forward we need a process for making the unconscious and automatic visible.

My top goal for those on a weight loss path is to find an emotional space of peace and contentment that allows you to flow toward your goal without struggle. To accomplish this we often have to confront difficult emotions that stand in our way. I say "Don't bury them." Move through them openly and honestly, then leave them behind.

There are all kinds of ways to force weight loss, but there are only a few ways to do it naturally and gracefully. Fasting space is one of the most powerful, and the way I teach it, the most thoughtful. Fasting is open space to allow body fat to fulfill its natural purpose and power our system in the absence of food. This is how we use it, and release it. Fasting space sets an incredible natural foundation for every other practice of health. Choosing healthy foods, eliminating processed foods, moving our body in healthy ways and leaning into our mental health and wellbeing. You are in the right place.

Fasting is a path toward metabolic health and healing but its roots go deeper. It reaches down into the core of our humanity. Health should be a unifying force. Health is not political. Our shared humanity is not political. War is the antithesis of health and the lowest point of human existence. Already many on all sides of this conflict have been killed. Families shattered, lives destroyed, children killed and terrified. Fasting is my response to this. Fasting for peace. Fasting in solidarity with those who are suffering. Fasting for the hope that all people of the world would lean into love at this moment in ordered to bring an end to the cycles of violence destroying our societies. I welcome you to join me in this practice today.In Health,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

Habits are the type of thing that can fade into the background. A key process in a weight loss journey is bringing awareness to our habits. Understanding how habits form also shows us how they can be changed. This is helpful for a fasting path or any wellness practice.

One of the greatest barriers to weight loss success is perfectionism. For example, we can set arbitrary rules in our mind and then get into cycles of judgement when we don't meet these rules or self-made expectations. It can keep us from taking any action at all out of fear of failure. This can be paralyzing.Let's move beyond this destructive thought process and replace it with a vision of grace and sustainable progress.

The real willpower hack is needing less of it! The reality is the environments we inhabit shape the health choices we make every day. Whether we find our strength in the quiet solitude of nature or the vibrant energy of a city, we are learning how to design our surroundings to make fasting, nutrient-dense eating, and intentional movement the path of least resistance. It’s time to stop fighting against our spaces and start building an environment where reaching our weight loss goals feels natural and sustainable. Let’s empower ourselves by creating the space we need to truly thrive.

Join me for a discussion of a vision of a fasting-based health system... right from the pages of one of the preeminent medical journals in America!  As a society we have not appreciated the profound nature of fasting. This article grounds us in the biological reality of fasting and inspires with a vision of bringing the healing potential into the mainstream of the system. The potential is great. The realization of even a fraction of the potential will take much thoughtful, deliberate, compassionate and courageous effort. Even if a grand vision like this is not realized in the short term, we can do our part and take the best care of our own selves that we can. Then radiate that health out to the best of our ability.

What if a plateau isn't a sign that you're failing, but proof that you’ve succeeded in reaching a new level? In today’s session, ‘Beyond Our Upper Limit,’ we’re reframing those moments when the scale stops moving. Instead of viewing a stall as a wall, we’re seeing it as a necessary ‘Basecamp.’ This is a space where we give ourselves the room to adjust to our new circumstances. We flow through these periods of transition by prioritizing the paths that got us there. Open space, nutrient-dense food, vitality-focused movement, and the mental health support we need to stay resilient while our bodies recalibrate. Don’t fear or fight a plateau. Embrace the opportunity it represents and you will find yourself moving beyond it.

Transformation is a really big word. It's so much bigger than "I lost some weight." In ordered for an event or process to be "transformative" I would say it has to be in the "life changing" level. Im talking caterpillar to butterfly level change. A fasting process offers this level of transformation. Not all at once. Not in any sort of hype-laden process. But as a true journey of self-exploration and self-expression. Let's dive right at this space of transformation. It sits at the core of our being, where our identity resides.

One of the most difficult things about a weight loss path, or any new endeavor for that matter, is that it involves change. This leads us to a new place. The unknown.

Both the big visions we imagine while awake and the literal dream state that emerges from our subconscious.  Sincerely,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

We often make the decisions we do, and hence have the weight loss and health experience we are having, based on beliefs we have about ourself. About what kind of person we are and what type of things that type of person does. Is it time for some new perspectives on who you are and what you are capable of?

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day let's take a moment to recognize the priority King placed on health. As we look at the landscape of metabolic health and weight loss in America today, what would King say to us? Especially as we look at the disparity that continues to exist across racial and socio-economic lines. We will look at some of his key speeches on health and "have a dream" together about it.    Sincerely,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

The Old Food Pyramid is Dead. The US Government just did the unthinkable: they flipped the script on nutrition. The new guidelines are finally here, and they prioritize exactly what we’ve been talking about. Healthy proteins, essential fats, and real, whole foods. Processed junk and added sugars have officially been shown the door.But "what" you eat is only half the battle. In this live session, we’re taking the new "Eat Real Food" mantra and adding the most powerful health tool in your arsenal: A thoughtful, gentle and powerful approach to fasting.In this stream, we’re breaking down what the shift from the old grain-heavy pyramid looks like and why "stopping" (fasting) is the secret to making these new guidelines actually work for weight loss and metabolic health.I'll share my specific protocol for combining "Real Food" with your fasting window.Sincerely,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

One of the things I love most about fasting is that it can work with so many different diets. Whether you eat a lot of meat or you are vegan or anything in between, you can find benefit from adding in fasting!  That said, fasting and healthy eating are two sides of the same coin in my book. When we are not fasting we should be focused on eating the most nursing foods.One can't do much better than the humble squash.

Almost any state of being, from good to terrible, can come to feel normal. This is how complacency develops and how habits solidify. It's also why it's difficult to change.

It's an opportunity to shift our reference point regarding what we perceive as normal.In Health,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.
