Intermittent fasting has exploded in popularity — but is it really the magic solution it’s made out to be? In this episode, we take a bioenergetic deep dive into fasting. We explore why it can help with weight loss and mental clarity — and why those “benefits” may actually be signs of elevated stress. 

We unpack the long-term effects of fasting on metabolism, thyroid, hormonal health, and mitochondrial function, and we offer a more sustainable approach to fueling the body. If you’ve ever wondered whether skipping meals is helping or hurting you, this episode is for you.
