Fasting is not a trend. Its not something shiny and new. Its not something that got invented alongside TikTok or biohacking influencers. Fasting is ancient. Its human.

Repeat after me: "Fasting is NOT a "diet."  If you treat this healing modaily as a fad or diet, it can unintentionally hinder your progress. Fasting is an innate and instinctual behavior that our bodies can benefit from, it is the oldest healing modality in recorded human history.  It can be initially challenging to break the habit of feeling like you need to eat all day to achieve your weight loss goals, this is what we grew up hearing. You may even find yourself still believing the broken rhetoric of conventional diet culture, believing that obsessively counting and restricting calories will lead you to be successful. This way of thinking is understandably hard to break if thats all you have ever known about successfully losing weight. This week we go over what diet culture DOESN'T talk about.

Things will go wrong, you will be challenged, and many things will evolve and change on your journey. Embrace AND expect lots of learning opportunities instead of letting fear drive perfectionism in your efforts. Be okay with "done, not perfect." See the actual effort and your strength in doing/achieving "just enough" for now. The most profound and permanent changes happen slowly, so stop trying to rush the process or wishing things were "done" already. Remember, I believe in you, even if you don't. _________________ Are you seeking a supportive hand on your fasting journey? Consults, Blog, & Official Digital Handbook now available!

*Emotional episode warning* This week's episode was challenging for me to record and edit, so I apologize for the delay in posting this episode. Many of us struggle with experiencing grief on a very regular basis. Some of us know someone, or maybe its ourselves, who allows themselves to be so consumed by constant raw grief that it consumes them and their choices, especially when it comes to health. My grief, as you'll hear, has become a strong reason why. I own it now as my own superpower, and you can do it too. Looking for fasting support on your journey? I can help!
