In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss a recent study that helps to make sense of why ultra processed foods can be so detrimental to one's health and waistline. Intuitively this seems to make sense, but understanding how it works can help lead to better choices in the moment, as well as be motivating to make consistent, positive changes leading towards larger health goals.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy examine how to actually form a new habit, in and out of the fasting and health worlds. Long-term changes can be difficult to begin and even harder to see them through to the finish line, so they find what the latest research says about doing just that. It turns out that accountability, encouragement, and making smaller changes slowly over time can make or break the long-term success of new habits.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the ways that fasting can improve clinical outcomes for people suffering with knee osteoarthritis, as well as many other bone and joint ailments.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss some of the common things they hear from people who've tried intermittent fasting in the past and have either gotten stuck in a plateau, never lost much weight, or regained after seeing good results. When the scale stops moving, it can be surprising, but understanding why this happens, what non-scale benefits are still taking place, and how to get unstuck help us to keep making progress.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss some of the uncommonly recognized benefits of adopting a fasting lifestyle. Modern living provides many benefits and luxuries in many parts of the world, but outside factors can sometimes turn our day-to-day life upside down. Even short-term changes can leave us feeling out of control, but we find that fasting teaches us ways to roll with these punches and keep a level head that can be very valuable during unpredictable times. Recent research also points to many other benefits of intermittent fasting that are discussed.
