In this episode, Vanessa reveals why she quit intermittent fasting after nearly a decade — and how she went on to lose 13+ pounds of fat by switching to a completely different approach that's supported by new human research.

You'll learn why many popular fasting "benefits" were based on rodent data that doesn't translate to humans… what the latest clinical trials show about IF, fat loss, and muscle retention… why protein does not inhibit autophagy… and why ketones — not the fasting window — were always the real metabolic driver.

Vanessa also shares her new weekly routine: how many meals per day and how many Protein-Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) to boost ketones and autophagy without sacrificing lean mass. She explains how this shift improved her fat loss, metabolic rate, energy, hunger, and quality of life — and why she's never going back to IF.

If you've ever struggled with intermittent fasting or wondered whether it's actually helping your fat loss, this episode offers a refreshing, empowering, research-backed perspective.
