šŸŽÆ Intermittent Fasting: Trendy or Truly Transformative?


Listen Later

Spoiler: skipping breakfast isn’t a personality—and it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all health fix.

Intermittent fasting (IF) is having a moment. It’s all over TikTok, your wellness group chat, and probably your cousin’s new ā€œlife-changingā€ routine. But is it truly transformative—or just another trend wrapped in a glow-up filter?

In this episode, we cut through the fasting hype to explore what’s actually going on in your body when you stop eating for a chunk of the day. We’re talking metabolism, blood sugar, hormones, cravings, and how to fast without face-planting into a pizza by 8 p.m.

šŸ’” What You’ll Learn:
ā° What intermittent fasting really is (and what it’s not)
🧬 How fasting impacts insulin, metabolism, and hormone balance
🚩 The red flags to watch for—especially if you’ve got a period, PCOS, or burnout vibesšŸ½ Why IF works well for some people… and makes others hangry goblins
šŸ• What to eat after a fast to avoid binge-mode
šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø How to experiment with fasting without wrecking your energy, focus, or mental health


🚫 Who Should Probably Skip It:
If your relationship with food is rocky, your hormones are out of whack, or your stress is sky-high—this might not be your wellness move. (No shame. We love you.)
