I've been experimenting with my diet for years — and in this episode I'm breaking down the three approaches that have actually moved the needle for me: intermittent fasting, extended fasting, and carnivore.

This is my honest experience — including the mistakes I made along the way (don't break a fast with beer...Trust me).

In this episode I cover:

→ How I got into intermittent fasting and why I loved it for years

→ The mental clarity that changed everything for me

→ What it's actually like to do a 14-day extended fast (and a 5-day one)

→ Why carnivore gave me the most clarity I've ever had on a diet

→ The surprising thing carnivore did to my gym performance

→ What I'd do differently — and what I'm trying next

Whether you're a parent trying to get your energy back, someone curious about fasting, or just figuring out what works for your body — this one's for you.
