What is Lipedema vs Lymphedema?

What is the impact of diet, specifically low carb and healthy fats?

Why does puberty, pregnancy, and menopause exacerbate lipedema?

How is this condition different from general obesity?

What does lipedema look like typically, or, rather, is there anything typical about it?

Episode #20

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:

1. I've been in menopause for over two and a half years and doing IF for the past year. I have done a couple of extended fasts. I belong to a women's fasting group on Facebook and have read that a couple of women in menopause have started menstruating again and, weirdly enough, that just happened to me. Is this because of IF and have you seen this happen? Please tell me it does not mean I have a chance of getting pregnant! [01:22]

2. I get diarrhea about an hour after eating on OMAD. I have tried to eat a small amount and wait for a half hour, or longer, before eating again. I try to chew thoroughly and slowly, but nothing seems to help. [04:57]

3. Is keto and a higher fat intake (even though its healthy fats) without a gallbladder harder on my pancreas to process fats or should I maybe try a Mediterranean diet and fasting. I have a lot of weight to lose. [09:53]

4. Does fasting do more harm than good for people with Hashimoto's? [17:26]

Episode #19

In today's episode, Megan and Nadia FINALLY interview the co-founder of The Fasting Method Program, Dr. Jason Fung.

Dr. Fung talks about the benefits of health coaching and highlights the connection between diet and emotions. Hear Jason's take on how our habits have changed over the last few decades, influenced by external factors and how this "new environment sets us up to fail" and not that our "will-power" is now weaker. Learn from Dr. Fung how "obesity spreads like a virus" and how community is so much more important than even diet and fasting for success: "Trying to do it yourself is impossible" ..."it takes a village".

Jason, Megan and Nadia talk about the TFM community and the power of peer support vs. the "top-down" medical approach and why the Community members have been so successful in maintaining their healing and weight loss over the years.

Episode #18

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:

1. When you refer to lowering insulin level, is that the same as lowering blood sugar level? If it is not the same, how do we know our insulin level is lowering? [08:36]

2. Do you know if intermittent fasting plays a role in improving endothelial function? More specifically, helping with erectile dysfunction? [16:29]

3. I was just wondering what were your thoughts on working out during a fast? I have read other sources stating that working out after hour 16 (when fat burning is ramping up) would help to burn more fat? [22:32]

4. Would three 42-hour fasts be more effective than ADF with 36-hour fasts? Does it take a while for results if in peri-menopausal? [34:06]
