In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:

1. Can we take prebiotics and probiotics during extended fasting? [03:07]

2. I\\u2019m going to Europe for a few weeks - Italy and France - and want to buy a CGM machine which I know you can get at most pharmacies. Is there a specific brand or type of machine that you recommend? [05:39]

3. Are there any other tests that can be beneficial for women? I\\u2019ve been having a lot of problems with my hormones (specifically a low level of testosterone) and I\\u2019m tired of going to doctors who seem to do tests and tell me things are, \\u201cOK,\\u201d without cross referencing hormone levels or taking other tests into consideration. I\\u2019m at the point where I want to become my own \\u201cdoctor\\u201d as far as monitoring my glucose and hormone levels. [15:57]\\xa0

4. Should you fat fast or do extended fasting before holiday events? [23:15]\\xa0
