⁠http://bit.ly/4nTILPt Every major religion prescribes it, hunter
gatherers lived it, even your pets do it naturally…so why are
modern humans the only species that's forgotten how to fast? After
22 years of analyzing mortality data in the insurance industry,
I've discovered the answer lies in understanding your unique
biology and metabolic flexibility, not forcing your body into
extreme protocols that work against its natural design. In this
episode, I'm sharing the science-based framework I use to help
people determine if fasting aligns with their current health
status, goals, and hormonal patterns. Ready to hit the cellular
