If losing weight feels like a losing battle, this episode is for you. I\u2019m joined by Gin Stephens, a science teacher turned fasting expert, who lost 80 pounds\u2013\u2013and has kept it off for 10 years\u2014with intermittent fasting.\xa0

In this discussion, we're talking about the hardest part of intermittent fasting: getting started. After speaking with thousands of people and discovering why they give up, Gin created a simple approach for establishing the habit, sticking with it, and finally seeing results.

We cover common misconceptions about fasting, why intuitive eating may have failed you, and how achieving metabolic flexibility can change your relationship with food.

Plus, Gin shares her tips for dealing with hunger and cravings, and the magic of giving fasting a try for 28 days.\xa0

If your metabolic health is on your mind, this conversation is going to give you some serious food for thought.
