In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the latest research findings on how intermittent fasting affects cardiovascular health. With the rapidly growing concerns of obesity and heart disease, it is refreshing to see the widespread benefits of even minor changes to meal timing and the effects on blood markers, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular health.

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.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the finer points of the elephant in the room--what to do when the going gets tough. Sticking to our fasting windows is the key to long term success, so they zoom in on the decision to begin a fast, the motivating factors that drive us, and the decision to break the fast. Willpower plays a role, but it's a finite resource, so they give examples of how to create a system to get better results with less thought, energy, and effort.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy dive into the history of the last 100 years since the discovery of insulin. Medical and technological breakthroughs are oftentimes significant inflection points for society, but not always in the positive ways they're expected to be. They discuss where we came from, the state of the union of society's health, where we're headed, as well as how to accelerate positive change.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy review research on calorie and exercise tracking. The data shows that we significantly underreport our calories and that even long-term "diet resistant" subjects have perfectly functioning metabolisms, but aren't creating the calorie deficit they think they are when dieting. The implications of these findings and how they relate to weight loss, diet outcomes, and finding simplicity and control through fasting are all discussed.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy dive into the widely applicable intermittent fasting results from a robust review article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. They discuss the effects of various fasting protocols on a wide scope of outcome measures, including longevity, cardiovascular health, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, weight, physical fitness, to name a few. Understanding the range of potential benefits that fasting has been shown to induce can be a key factor in getting started or getting comfortable with powerful lifestyle changes.
