Intermittent Fasting Truths & Mistakes with Cynthia Thurlow


Listen Later

Cynthia Thurlow CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness project is a nurse practitioner, international public speaker, a globally recognised expert in intermittent fasting and nutritional health and the host of the ‘Everyday Wellness’ podcast

Her extensive expertise and experience are focused on empowering people to live their most optimal lives and she talks with Angela about the power of being metabolically flexible and how it can be achieved, whatever your age.

Having a healthy lifestyle is one of the best things you can give your body and this is a great opportunity to hear valuable content about intermittent fasting, its role in building metabolic health and being proactive, not reactive with your health

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Metabolic flexibility means you can efficiently manage your blood sugar and switch between using carbs and fats as a fuel source
  • Metabolic flexibility is the key on many levels for health and longevity
  • If you have trouble losing weight it can be because your blood sugar is dis-regulated
  • We need to eat carbs and fats but most of us are eating the wrong foods at the wrong time and far too frequently
  • The strategies for maintaining weight as you approach menopause are very different to those used in your twenties and thirties
  • Lifestyle medicine is a huge focus in staying healthy. A lot of people come to fasting because of changes in body composition but stay for the other benefits because it makes them feel good
  • More of us need to listen intrinsically to our bodies and what they are trying to tell us
  • Protein keeps you satiated. You need to flip the switch and start the day with protein, not dessert
  • It’s critically important to maintain your muscle mass as you age. Muscle is the organ of longevity
  • Lifting weights is one of the best ways to help with insulin sensitivity
  • The more muscle mass you have the more flexibility you have metabolically.
  • You have to plan for recovery days to allow the body to repair, exercise smarter not harder
  • It’s about being strategic about when you are having carbs and protein
  • You have to do what works for your body, small changes incrementally can make a big difference

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Metabolic flexibility is harnessing the way our bodies are intrinsically designed to do well and be most efficient’

‘When you are hitting your protein macros, you are satiated’

‘Lifting weights is the most important thing you can do as you are getting older’
