This episode reveals the truth about how bad sleep is secretly sabotaging your weight loss, even when you're doing everything else right.

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep. When you don't get enough quality sleep, your body basically fights against you - making it way harder to burn fat and much easier to store it, especially around your belly.

You'll discover why people who get 7+ hours of good sleep have a huge advantage when it comes to losing weight, and how even one terrible night of sleep can mess with your body's ability to handle food properly. The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you.

But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals.

If you've been stuck at a weight loss plateau despite doing intermittent fasting and everything else "right," your sleep might be the missing piece. This episode gives you the exact steps to turn sleep into your secret weight loss weapon.

This episode reveals how fasting literally shrinks fat cells by keeping insulin low, with Dr. Scott and Tommy breaking down the science behind why 95% of diets fail but fasting succeeds long-term. Discover how consistent fasting can boost your metabolic rate by 300 calories per day - that's 2,100 extra calories burned weekly without additional exercise. Learn the crucial difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat storage, why fructose from drinks creates dangerous belly fat, and how overfilled fat cells become metabolically active troublemakers that block satiety signals. The hosts share why protein must be your priority during eating windows (aim for 40% of your intake), when to shift your eating window earlier in the day for better insulin sensitivity, and how to avoid the "breakfast blunder" that keeps you hungry all day. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and want a sustainable approach that works with your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms, this episode provides the insulin-focused strategy for lasting results.

This episode dives deep into why blood sugar spikes can sabotage your fasting success and make it nearly impossible to close your eating window. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain the "glucose management zone" concept - treating every eating window as an opportunity to control blood sugar volatility rather than create metabolic chaos. Learn why that post-meal energy crash leads to late-night cravings that break your fasts, and discover simple strategies like apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, and meal sequencing that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%. If you struggle with hunger between meals, can't seem to close your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts due to cravings, this episode provides the blood sugar management tools to make fasting feel effortless and sustainable.

This episode reveals groundbreaking research from the Journal of Cell Metabolism showing that when you eat matters as much as what you eat for hunger control and fasting success. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a study demonstrating that consuming 45% of daily calories at breakfast versus dinner dramatically reduces hunger and appetite without changing metabolism or weight loss. Learn why your physiology works against you when eating large evening meals, making it harder to close your eating window and stick to fasts. If you struggle with late-night cravings, can't seem to end your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts in the evening, this episode provides the meal timing strategy to align your eating with your body's natural circadian rhythm for easier, more sustainable fasting.

This episode reveals breakthrough research showing early time-restricted eating (8am-2pm) leads to significantly more weight loss than later eating windows while maintaining muscle mass. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a 2025 study demonstrating how shifting your eating window earlier aligns with your body's natural circadian rhythm and insulin sensitivity. Learn why simple resistance training (just 40 push-ups three times weekly) combined with adequate protein intake can preserve muscle during weight loss. If you're concerned about losing muscle while fasting or hitting a plateau with evening-only eating, this episode offers the practical science-backed solution to optimize your fasting schedule.

In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling challenge conventional wisdom about salt intake during fasting, revealing why proper electrolyte balance is crucial for fasting success. They explain how fasting and low-carb diets naturally flush out sodium, leading to symptoms many mistakenly attribute to "keto flu" or fasting difficulties—headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle cramps—which are actually signs of electrolyte depletion. The hosts share surprising research showing that moderate salt intake (4-6g daily) is associated with longer lifespans and lower mortality rates, contrary to traditional medical advice. They offer practical guidance on choosing mineral-rich salt sources like Redmond's Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt versus refined table salt, and provide specific strategies for maintaining proper hydration during fasting. Whether you're struggling with fasting consistency or experiencing energy dips during extended fasts, this episode provides the science-backed solutions to optimize your fasting experience through proper salt intake.

In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.

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.
