If you’ve been told that intermittent fasting is the secret to burning fat, balancing hormones, or living longer… you’ve been sold a myth.

 

In this Monday Mile episode, Coach Kevin and Coach Jess break down the truth behind intermittent fasting - what the science actually shows, why it’s not the magic bullet it’s made out to be, and what really matters when it comes to losing weight, building muscle, and feeling great after 50.

 

Here’s what you’ll discover in this quick-hit episode:

  • The two biggest promises of intermittent fasting — and why the research doesn’t back them up.
  • The surprising reason fasting may make it harder to hit your protein goals (and why that matters more than you think).
  • The simple 12:12 approach Kevin and Jess recommend if you’re curious about fasting — without wrecking your results or your sleep.
  • Why what you eat trumps when you eat every single time (especially if you’ve struggled to keep weight off in the past).
  • A metabolic red flag most people overlook: what it means if you never wake up hungry.

 

If you’ve tried fasting before and didn’t get the results you hoped for, or you’re tired of diet trends that overpromise and underdeliver, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually works.

 

🎧 Lace up your sneakers, hit play, and let’s bust some fasting myths together!
