Fasting For Life

Ep. 278 - Q&A: Weight Loss Plateaus | Mental Clarity During Fasting | Electrolytes | Coffee Additions | Late Night Eating | Menopause | New Fasting Persona Quiz!


Listen Later

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle common fasting questions from their listeners. They address the frustration of weight loss plateaus, explaining why blood sugar improvements are more important markers of progress than scale movement, especially during periods of high ketosis when healing happens beneath the surface. The hosts explore the powerful neurological benefits of fasting, including improved mental clarity, focus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor production that supports cognitive function. They provide practical guidance on electrolyte supplementation during fasting, clarify coffee additions (and when a little cream might be acceptable), and explain why shifting eating windows earlier in the day is particularly beneficial, especially for those in menopause who face additional hormonal challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize consistency over perfection and provide actionable strategies for adapting fasting to individual needs and circumstances.
