to best understand intermittent fasting as it relates to your
life stage are all covered in today's episode.


 


How should women approach fasting when it comes to their

life. Let that someone be you or someone you care about by

“We're really in a metabolic health crisis. And
so, when I talk to women, and in particular about intermittent
fasting, it's with the understanding and the context of there's a
time to fast and there's a time not to fast."
