Welcome to another episode of Mom 2.0! 

This episode is about fasting and its impact on our health and hormones. I recorded a similar episode years ago, but I wasn't satisfied with the direction it took, so I never released it. Now, I'm back with a fresh perspective on fasting.

In a world where fasting is often touted as a quick fix for weight loss, I believe it's essential to shed light on the other side of the story. While fasting offers various benefits like improved insulin sensitivity and longevity, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. We discuss the importance of tailoring fasting to your unique life and needs, rather than rigidly following preset rules and ratios.

Sharing my personal experiences, I highlight the mistakes many of us make with fasting and how it can sometimes become a source of stress rather than a health booster. We dive into the crucial role of hormones, menstrual cycles, and overall health when considering fasting as a strategy.This episode offers a holistic perspective on fasting, emphasizing the need for physical and mental well-being to truly reap its benefits. Instead of viewing fasting as a punishment for what we've eaten, it should be an informed choice aligned with our overall wellness journey.

Separating the hype from the reality, and discovering how it can be a valuable tool when used correctly. Fasting is just one piece of the wellness puzzle, and I'm excited to share this insight with you.
