In this episode, we dig into the science and stories behind intermittent fasting—an eating pattern that’s more about when you eat than what you eat. Drawing insights from Johns Hopkins Medicine, we explore popular approaches like 16/8 time-restricted eating and the 5:2 method, unpacking their potential benefits for your brain, heart, and overall performance.

But it’s not all hype and heroism—we also talk about who shouldn’t jump into fasting trends and why a doctor’s advice is key. Whether you’re a curious beginner or just trying to decode the buzz, this episode gives you food for thought (and when to eat it).
