Episode 272- The Truth About Fasting: Too Much, Too Little, or Just Wrong Timing?


Listen Later

Is fasting helping your metabolism… or actually making things worse?

If you've tried fasting and felt shaky, exhausted, or stuck, or if you're fasting longer and seeing no results, this episode is for you. The truth is fasting isn't one-size-fits-all. The wrong approach can actually increase stress hormones, disrupt blood sugar, and stall your progress.

In this episode, I break down:

  • How to tell if you're fasting too much or too little
  • Why fasting feels easy for some people… and miserable for others
  • The role of insulin, cortisol, and circadian rhythm in fasting success
  • Why timing your fast matters more than just extending it
  • How unstable blood sugar makes fasting feel like punishment
  • The biggest mistakes people make when trying intermittent fasting
