36. What is Intermittent Fasting? The Benefits of IF and the Connection to The Gut with Health Coach Sara Izquierdo


Listen Later

Did you know that Intermittent Fasting (IF) is NOT a diet?  It is a timed eating schedule that helps the body use other stored resources for energy and helps the body focus on healing. Learn more about IF in the final episode of the gut health series with health and wellness coach Sara Izquierdo.

Intermittent Fasting is a foundational pillar of Sara's coaching program, and although people do not typically begin Intermittent Fasting for the gut health benefits, there are considerable opportunities to improve your gut health by incorporating this popular technique into your daily life.  In addition to the gut-health benefits, people who IF report a significant increase in energy, inflammation reduction, fat loss, hormone regulation, and insulin response.
