She first heard about intermittent fasting in 2022 when she was working as a nutrition coach and one of her clients mentioned it to her. From that point on, she was an intermittent fasting dabbler. Finally, in October of 2024, she decided to stop dabbling and fully commit. Gin's phrase “Saturday is not a special occasion…it happens every week” spoke to her, and she knew it was time. Because of her long and varied diet history, Dee has stopped weighing herself. Instead, she goes by how she feels and the fit of her clothes. She is currently living her goal lifestyle, and feels good wearing a size 8 in pants. Dee is a self-described “logical vegan,” and she focuses on getting in nutrients from a wide variety of plant foods. One of her biggest non-scale victories is that she is no longer an emotional binge eater. She no longer has skin tags, which indicates that she has improved her insulin resistance.At the end of the episode, Dee reminds new IFers that Saturday is not a special occasion, and that they should explore all of Gin's resources, including the book 28-Day Fast Start Day by Day, which is a great way to get started on your IF journey.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this timely and motivating episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle one of the most common fasting lifestyle challenges — how to stay consistent through summer without falling into the all-or-nothing trap that quietly undoes months of hard-earned progress. Using the simple but powerful "keepy uppy" analogy, they reframe the goal from perfect execution to simply never letting your fasting habits go to zero, making consistency feel achievable even during the busiest, most unpredictable weeks of the year. The hosts walk through five practical categories — fasting windows, food choices, hydration, movement, and mindset — offering concrete summer-specific strategies like anchoring just one end of your eating window, using travel days to extend rather than abandon your fast, and letting the event be your meal at barbecues and pool parties. They also share a key mindset shift for navigating social situations with food, emphasizing the value of choosing one indulgence on purpose rather than grazing mindlessly and regretting it later. The episode closes with an encouraging challenge: pick two or three of today's strategies, apply them now before the summer slips away, and you'll look back in September knowing you stayed in the game the whole time rather than starting over again from scratch.

But are we asking the right questions about long-term health?In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down the science behind GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, including what they do well, where concerns are emerging, and how fasting mimics many of the same metabolic benefits naturally.Dr. Mindy explores: • The connection between GLP-1 drugs and muscle loss • Why women over 40 need to think differently about metabolism • New research linking GLP-1s to declining bone density • How fasting impacts glucagon, ketones, and fat burning • The importance of protein, refeeding, and resistance training • Why metabolic flexibility matters more than rapid weight loss • Natural ways to stimulate your body's own GLP-1 productionThis episode is not about fear or shame.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes on a viral video claiming that electrolyte supplements are nothing more than “dehydrated soda” and a wellness scam. In this Vitality Verdict, he separates legitimate concerns about influencer marketing and poor formulations from the physiology of hydration and mineral balance. Jared explains why sodium, potassium, and magnesium remain foundational nutrients, especially for people who exercise, fast, eat low-carb diets, drink coffee, use saunas, or live under chronic stress. He also addresses the misleading use of vitamin B6 toxicity to condemn an entire category of products. The bottom line: electrolytes are neither a scam nor a magic bullet. When used intelligently and in the right context, they can be a practical tool to support hydration, energy, muscle function, and overall vitality.

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1928DM Most people have spent years obsessing over what to eat. Dr. Mindy Pelz says that's exactly the wrong question. Your body runs two energy systems. One runs on food. The other only kicks in after 8 to 10 hours without eating. That's the fat-burning, brain-sharpening, hunger-suppressing system. Most people never get there. That's why diets keep failing. You're only working with half the machine. Mindy breaks down how to train into fasting gradually. Trying to jump straight to long fasts is like running a marathon with three weeks of 3-mile runs. Lewis learned that the hard way. She also gives one dead-simple rule for timing meals: eat when it's light out. Once darkness hits and melatonin rises, your body stores what you eat as fat. The suffering at hour 12? That's your body repairing itself. That's the point. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tracey is a personal trainer who discovered intermittent fasting in 2018 and has lived the lifestyle ever since. In 2016, she decided to train for a bodybuilding competition, and after the competition was over, she suddenly had unexplained weight gain and a lot of food noise that was missing before. Tracey discusses the mental challenges she faced post-competition, her transition to intermittent fasting, and how it has positively impacted her health and body composition. Gin and Tracey also delve into the importance of strength training, the impact of hormonal changes, and the misconceptions surrounding protein intake and meal frequency. Tracey emphasizes the significance of listening to one's body and finding a balance in nutrition and fitness, encouraging others to embrace their unique journeys with intermittent fasting.At the end of the episode, Tracey tells listeners not to be embarrassed about their intermittent fasting journeys, and that there is no need to be secretive about what you are doing.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this research-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a gold-standard meta-analysis comparing the most popular intermittent fasting protocols head-to-head — time-restricted eating, alternate day fasting, and the 5:2 method — against traditional calorie restriction to see which approach actually moves the needle on blood sugar and insulin resistance. The hosts cut through the complexity to deliver a clear takeaway: time-restricted eating consistently wins for improving fasting glucose and A1C, while alternate day fasting is the most powerful tool for directly lowering insulin resistance and fasting insulin levels — the upstream markers that determine whether your body is stuck in fat-storing mode or freed up to burn. They also tackle the real-world gaps the research can't capture — the simplicity, food noise reduction, and decision fatigue relief that make fasting dramatically easier to sustain long-term compared to the slow grind of calorie counting. Listeners will come away knowing exactly how to match the right fasting tool to their current situation, whether the goal is better lab numbers, breaking through stubborn weight loss resistance, or building a flexible lifestyle that doesn't require restarting every Monday. The episode closes with a straightforward reminder that consistency in a foundational fasting window will always outperform an aggressive protocol done halfway — and that fasting wins not by being perfect on paper, but by being livable in real life.

How intermittent fasting, training, and recovery protocols help optimize fat burning, performance, and aging with practical strategies. #FastingScience #PerformanceRecovery #Biohacking #HealthTalks
Every diet you've ever tried has failed you for one reason: it never told you when to eat. Your body runs on two energy systems. One burns sugar. The other burns fat. Most people never spend a single day in the second one. Around eight to ten hours without food, the switch flips. Ketones flood your brain. Hunger quiets. Mental clarity hits. Healing turns on. This is what fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz has been teaching for over 25 years, and what her book Fast Like a Girl made impossible to ignore. For women, timing is everything. Day 1 to 10, fast longer and lift heavier. Day 11 to 15, testosterone surges and libido climbs. Day 16 to 19 is for deeper fasts. After day 20, progesterone needs you to back off and rest. Fast like a man during the back half of your cycle and you'll tank the very hormones keeping you calm and regular. Underneath all of it sits the hormonal hierarchy. Oxytocin at the top. Cortisol below it. Then insulin. Then sex hormones. When you feel safe and connected, the whole stack works. When you don't, nothing else matters. Connection isn't optional for women. It's biology.

In episode #351 of the BrainStim podcast, Dr. Aplin and the team dive into the growing trend of intermittent fasting and explore both its historical roots and modern-day popularity. They discuss how fasting has been practiced for centuries — often tied to religious and cultural traditions — and examine why today's constant access to food may be contributing to many health challenges. The conversation also unpacks common misconceptions about fasting, how the body responds to periods without food, and why giving the digestive system regular breaks may support overall health and function. As always, we encourage you to think critically about mainstream health habits, ask they "why" behind everything, and consider a more natural approach to wellness. www.invisionchiropractic.com

She shares her journey with intermittent fasting, highlighting the challenges and triumphs she has experienced along the way. She discusses her lifelong struggle with weight and body image, which began in her teenage years. Despite maintaining a healthy weight, she often felt the pressure to stay thin, leading to cycles of bingeing and restricting. Her introduction to intermittent fasting came as a relief, offering a sustainable way to manage her weight without the constant stress of dieting. Christina emphasizes the importance of finding a balance that works for her lifestyle, incorporating activities she loves, like golf and tennis, into her routine.As the conversation wraps up, Christina offers valuable advice to those new to intermittent fasting. She stresses the importance of starting slow and gradually reducing the eating window, rather than diving in too quickly, as she initially did. Christina also highlights the significance of community support, encouraging new intermittent fasters to engage with supportive groups that promote clean fasting practices. Her final piece of advice is to embrace the journey, acknowledging that while some days may be challenging, the benefits of intermittent fasting far outweigh the difficulties.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle the metabolic basics that most fasting resources skip — explaining why fasting alone isn't always enough and what's really happening beneath the surface when weight loss stalls or energy stays low. They break down metabolic health in plain English, unpacking the relationship between blood sugar, insulin resistance, and the chronic lifestyle conditions that develop silently for years before showing up in labs or on the scale. The hosts make a compelling case for why fasting is the most powerful single lever for restoring metabolic flexibility — not just because it creates a calorie deficit, but because it fundamentally reduces the number of glucose and insulin spikes the body has to manage each day. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of what optimal metabolic markers actually look like versus standard lab ranges, and why getting ahead of dysfunction early is far more effective than waiting for a diagnosis. The episode closes with a practical three-step action plan for the next seven days — clean up your fasting window with protein-first meals, move after your biggest meal, and protect your metabolic night shift by stopping food at least three hours before bed — giving every listener a concrete place to start regardless of where they are on their fasting journey.

Irving Kirsch examined clinical trials on antidepressants and found that around 78% of them were unpublished, rewritten, or contained inflated results.The “gold standard” for measuring depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), which relies on subjective reporting and was not originally created to diagnose depression.In placebo-controlled trials, antidepressants did not significantly improve depression more than a sugar pill. A good night's sleep can improve the symptoms of depression significantly more than medication. Antidepressants come with a black box warning and many other side effects, including the following:• Sexual dysfunction • Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction • Emotional blunting• Discontinuation syndrome• Insomnia• Nausea• Anxiety• DepressionExercise, St. John's wort, omega-3s, and adequate sleep can help improve the symptoms of depression naturally.

There are many possible reasons why you feel tired all the time. It's important to identify and address the root cause, not the symptom. Find out how to boost energy naturally by addressing the most common chronic fatigue causes at the source. 0:00 Introduction: Why am I always tired? 0:23 Constant fatigue causes 1:22 Fatigue and blood sugar4:26 Latent virus fatigue6:56 Low oxygen and chronic fatigue9:13 Low vitamin B1 and fatigue symptoms13:30 Adrenal fatigueDownload Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Stimulating the body with caffeine can actually make fatigue worse. Instead of masking the problem, you need to get to the root cause of fatigue. Once you address it, you can often get rid of chronic fatigue completely.Not getting enough sleep significantly affects cognitive function. It also impacts blood sugar, increasing cravings and leading to more snacking. If you have insomnia, focus on simple habits like taking long walks in nature during the day without your cell phone, stretching before bed, dimming the lights at night, and avoiding snacking before sleep.If your blood sugar is constantly going up and down, you're going to feel tired. Even if there's plenty of food available, your cells aren't getting the fuel they need. One of the key solutions is to eliminate sugar and excess carbs from the diet.A slow thyroid, histamines, latent viruses, and electrolyte imbalances are some of the most common hidden causes of fatigue. Even a lack of sun exposure could be the reason behind chronic fatigue.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
