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.
