Knowledgable, Unbias, For the Researcher

This podcast refrains from pushing any particular agenda. Instead, it provides factual studies and literature to empower listeners to draw their own conclusions. It changed my husbands life, he suffered ocular migraines (losing sight in one eye with each migraine) since early teen years and finding this podcast led us to fasting which not only controlled his reactive hyperglycemia, but resolved his migraines.

Melanie's approach, akin to Dave Asprey, involves delving into studies with a discerning eye, revealing potential biases and findings. Her ability to navigate through research with precision and impartiality is truly commendable. She very intelligent and doing the work to help you live better. Hats off. Also, she cares about the environment- what's not to love! 3 Year Listener

So much information!

I have learned a huge amount from this podcast. I like the way Melanie gives a voice to different experts. Each podcast gives me further resources to pursue (or not, if it is not a subject that interests me). However, whether or not I follow up further, I have learned from every episode, and have been able to take quite a few suggestion to improve my life and health. I have really pared down the number of podcasts I listen to (just not enough time) but this podcast is staying in my permanent lineup.

Melanie Avalon has changed my life!

When I started IF, I found Melanie Avalon on the IF Intermittent Fasting podcast around May 2018. I was enthralled and went back in time to listen to all the previous episodes. Throughout her evolution with her three co-hosts, I have solidified how fasting works best for me. Once she created her Biohacking podcast, the breadth of topics has opened my eyes to how I can further improve my health and longevity. Melanie asks thought provoking questions to get the most out of her esteemed guests and benefit her listeners. She is clever, thoroughly prepared and a joy to listen to while I learn. Bravo Melanie! Keep on keeping on!
