⚡ Is fasting really a magic solution for weight loss? Some people argue it’s just a good way of cutting calories, while others say its benefits go far beyond that. But what does the science say? From fat loss, to appetite regulation and gut health improvements, I explore the good (and the bad) of fasting for health. 

💬 In this special solo episode of the podcast, I also discuss the growing concern of microplastics. These tiny particles are everywhere, including our bodies - and they could be harmful to our health. So I talk through solutions on how to minimise your exposure. And I also tackle visceral fat - why it’s harmful and how to get rid of it.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ Why fasting can help metabolic health but isn’t a magic bullet

➡︎ How fasting affects gut health, bloating, and your appetite hormones

➡︎ Why microplastics trigger inflammation and oxidative stress

➡︎  Foods and habits that help your body flush out microplastics

➡︎ The most effective habits to eliminate dangerous visceral fat
