In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Stefanie Joy Daniels from North London.

Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that—and now, it’s time for us to get Cleanish! In September we moved the Delay, Don’t Deny Social Network to a new and improved platform and the community has really taken off. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we have a true community feel, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your IF lifestyle.

Stephanie is currently working towards becoming an IF coach, with an emphasis on women after menopause. 

For many years, Stephanie struggled with binge eating, and felt obsessed with food. Her path to intermittent fasting began when she had a double mastectomy and her ovaries removed in 2017. This sent Stephanie into medical menopause, which was very difficult for her. She gained weight, went into depression, and felt lost.  

Then in 2019, Stephanie heard about intermittent fasting through a TED Talk given by Cynthia Thurlow.  

The pandemic hit in March of 2020, and this also began Stephanie’s IF journey. She gradually moved to a 16:8 protocol, and feels her best this way.  

Stephanie has lost 13 pounds, but focuses more on how her clothes fit. “I’m the happiest in my body that I’ve ever been!”

Stephanie decided to go back to school to become a certified IF coach to help other women experiencing menopause. She teaches how IF can help with that major transition. 

Her advice to the new IFer: “Start slow and steady. Listen to your body. Read everything you can on IF, and the science behind it.”
