How To Do Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss & Better Health

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and ButcherBox.
  Fasting is a great way to optimize your health, and it’s
more approachable than you might think. It is a free tool that
activates all the systems in your body to protect you, heal you,
and help you live longer. Fasting can help to reduce inflammation,
brain fog, and insulin resistance. It can also increase energy and
bone density and activate autophagy, which is the process of
cleaning out damaged cells.   In this episode of my new
Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast
host, Dhru Purohit, about the many benefits of fasting. We also
talk about the different types of fasting so you can determine if
one is right for you. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial
entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His
