In this episode of the Holistic Health Bites podcast, best selling author Gin Stephens discusses the benefits and best practices of intermittent fasting. She emphasizes that intermittent fasting goes beyond weight loss and can improve blood sugar, inflammation, cardiovascular health, and brain health. Gin recommends fasting clean, avoiding anything that spikes insulin, and giving your body at least four weeks to adapt before assessing progress. She also advises against overly restricting calories and overfasting, listening to your body's signals instead. During eating windows, she suggests focusing on nourishing, satiating meals and avoiding ultra-processed foods.
