Interested in intermittent fasting? Clinical educator and researcher Megan Ramos joins Liz on this episode of the podcast to share the potential benefits of this practice for women.

Megan shares how fasting has helped her own health, how time restricted eating may aid chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome, and why body size isn’t necessarily a great indicator of overall health.

The episode also covers the differences between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, and takes a deep dive into autophagy and fasting. Plus, Megan shares advice on how to get started with fasting and how the practice may benefit our hormones through different life cycles.
