OCTOBER 30th CHALLENGE REGISTRATION LINK In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss a new study on time-restricted eating (TRE) and its impact on metabolic syndrome. We highlight that a study involving 108 participants demonstrated that TRE, even with a modest reduction in the eating window, led to significant improvements in weight, body fat, and LDL cholesterol over a three-month period. Despite some critics claiming the metabolic effects were minimal, we argue that the physiological benefits and lifestyle simplification offered by TRE are substantial. We advocate for incorporating fasting as a practical tool for health improvement and weight management, encouraging listeners to explore fasting as a sustainable lifestyle change.

    Ep. 250 - Why BMI Should Go Bye-Bye | Body Roundness Index for Better Health Assessment | Measuring Visceral Fat | Waist-to-Height Ratio | Fasting to Burn Stubborn Fat

    In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss using fasting as a tool for better health and wellness, sharing their personal transformations and offering actionable advice. We question the effectiveness of Body Mass Index (BMI) in measuring health and advocate using the Body Roundness Index (BRI) and waist-to-height ratio as better indicators of visceral fat, which is linked to higher health risks. We emphasize tapping into long-term fat stores through fasting rather than calorie restriction, which often keeps insulin levels high and doesn't target stubborn fat effectively. We encourage listeners to consistently implement fasting strategies, use more accurate health metrics, and potentially join their programs for support in achieving health goals.

    Ep. 247 - To Track or Not to Track? | Calorie Counting vs Intuitive Eating | Portion Distortion | Food Noise | Short-Term Tracking for Fasting Success

    In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the significant impact of portion distortion and food tracking on weight loss in their podcast "Fasting for Life". We highlight that portion sizes have drastically increased since the 1980s, making it easier to over consume and overlook nutritional content. We emphasize the usefulness of short-term food tracking to gain awareness and adjust habits, advocating for a balanced approach that combines fasting with occasional tracking for sustainable weight loss. We conclude that tracking can provide a crucial awareness tool, especially in overcoming the modern challenge of persistent "food noise," or constant thoughts about food.

    In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discussed the impacts of fasting on cholesterol, highlighting studies that show how intermittent fasting, even with higher carbohydrate intake, can significantly improve lipid profiles by reducing LDL, triglycerides, and increasing HDL. We emphasized that these benefits can occur without significant weight loss and called for a global re-evaluation of cholesterol's role and management. They encouraged listeners to take immediate, actionable steps to incorporate fasting into their routines for better health outcomes.

SEPTEMBER 4th CHALLENGE REGISTRATION LINK In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the effects of cortisol on metabolic health and its relationship with insulin resistance in their "Fasting for Life" podcast. We highlight that while fasting can increase cortisol levels in the short term, it benefits long-term insulin control, which is crucial for metabolic health. We present the concept that chronic high insulin states disrupt cortisol regulation, exacerbating stress and leading to metabolic syndrome. The episode concludes with actionable advice on lowering cortisol through lifestyle changes, such as consistent fasting, prioritizing sleep, engaging in moderate exercise, and stress-reducing practices like meditation and spending time in nature.
