287: Struggling with fasting? Try THIS

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Jan 23, 2024

If you’ve tuned into my podcast before, you know that I’m a HUGE advocate for intermittent fasting.

That’s because our bodies are optimized for a shorter eating span, a far cry from the constant 24-hour buffet we have access to nowadays.

So, in this episode, I lay out the blueprint for successful fasting, guiding you on the path to shedding weight and giving your metabolism a much-needed boost.

I dive into the simplicity and effectiveness of the 8:16 fasting method, also emphasizing the importance of what you consume during your fast, not just the duration.

But that’s not all – I unwrap the incredible benefits of this fasting schedule, with tips that will help YOU turn it into a lifestyle you’ll enjoy!

Caution is key, though – there are fasting pitfalls lurking around that could ruin your health goals.

On this episode you’ll learn:
