Fast and Fabulous

Episode 42 - Erika Barnhart


Listen Later

Today I am joined by Erika Barnhart, a 43-year-old salon consultant who resides in Pennsylvania with her husband and 3 dogs. Erika struggled with weight issues since childhood and was overweight throughout most of her life. At age of 13, she was diagnosed with high cholesterol and triglycerides but was never prescribed any medication. In early 2023, she realized that she was procrastinating on scheduling her annual physical because she knew that the doctor would become more persistent about beginning a series of statin medication due to her high cholesterol. She also suffered from sleep apnea and used a CPAP machine and had been experiencing plantar fasciitis in her right foot, causing her to limp. She felt unnaturally old, defeated, and unhealthy for her age. She was ready to make a change. She began looking for a sustainable and cost-effective plan to become healthier. As well as not wanting to take any medications unless necessary.

In March 2023, Erika finally discovered the freedom she had been seeking through IF, and within about 1 year she lost 90 pounds (39.5kg).

Fasting has helped Erika gain more clarity, perspective, and patience, and the best part is it’s free! The flexibility has made it easy to work into her ever-changing schedule. 

Enjoy!
