14
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Hi, everybody, we are so glad you're here today.

15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to this week's episode of the Fast Feast Repeat,

16
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Intermittent Fasting for Life Podcast.

17
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>How are you doing today, Sherry? I am doing wonderful.

18
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>How are you well? I'm doing fun.

19
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I do want to update the world on what's going

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>on in my life. Okay, and now is as good

21
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 1>a time as any. I went ahead and shared in

22
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the community last week. I'm sure you saw it. Y'all

23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>know i'd shared on this podcast this spring that Chad

24
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>and I were going to live separately but see each

25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>other a lot. Well, we are now getting divorced. Sure

26
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you already know that. So the plan did not work

27
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>out as I had optimistically hoped that it would. So

28
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this is one of those things it's hard to update.

29
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>But Chad just can't disappear, I guess without me mentioning it,

30
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>because he's been mentioned in the podcast episode since I

31
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>started with my very first one.

32
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>So right, right, Well, I know that you have worked

33
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>hard to try to make him happy and also still

34
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>have joy in.

35
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Your life and try not to get emotional. It's hard

36
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 3>to know, I'm so hard to talk about, right, yeah, yeah,

37
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 3>And you know here's the thing.

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Nobody goes into marriage looking to get divorced, right, And

39
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody works their hardest to try to hold

40
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 2>a marriage together. And I have known you since twenty eighteen.

41
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>I know you've been working hard at your marriage since then.

42
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>And fortunately it takes two parties to make a good marriage,

43
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 2>and one person can't.

44
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Do all the work.

45
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's true, and you've been very helpful in the

46
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 1>whole process, and I have really good friends, good family,

47
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>close family, and close friends, and it's been helpful. So anyway,

48
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that's my update. And so yeah, you know, I'm such

49
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>an optimist. I always think things are going to work out.

50
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, you know.

51
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've told you all along. You know when you'll

52
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 2>know when it's time, you know. And the funny thing

53
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>is it wasn't even you that made this decision exactly right.

54
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're still hanging in there. And look, I was like,

55
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>this is going to work. We can get together.

56
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>We can have you know when or not with the

57
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>day to day challenges, you know, we we can have

58
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>fun together, we can enjoy our time together.

59
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 3>But he realized that is not what he wanted. So

60
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 3>I had hard August love you just yeah.

61
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, even when you know in your heart

62
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>it's the best thing for you, it's the healthiest thing

63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>for you. In my case, it was leaving an abusive marriage.

64
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>It's still as hard emotionally to let that go, to

65
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>let go of the life that you thought you were

66
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>going to have, and you do more in that loss,

67
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>even when in your heart you know that it's going

68
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>to be okay, and that's you know, your joy is

69
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>going to expand because of this. It's still hard and

70
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>you still have to hard and you still have to

71
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>greet the loss of what you thought your life was

72
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be. But you know, I think you're doing great.

73
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>You always come out on top, and I think you're

74
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>going to come out on top this time too.

75
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 3>And well, thank you, we love you, oh thank you.

76
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, enough sad news.

77
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's be exactly. I'm like, all right, deep' read you breath.

78
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I never have to announce it again though, right, all.

79
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, So our celebration this week is from Relieved in Pennsylvania.

80
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Relieved wrote, Hello, everyone, I just wanted to share an

81
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>eye of victory regarding an unsupportive spouse. I've been married

82
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>for thirteen years, so I still consider that quote young

83
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in marriage, so just keep that in mind. I'm not

84
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>trying to give marriage advice. I just want to share

85
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 2>my experience and hopefully some encouragement. Okay, well maybe a

86
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>little bit of marriage advice lol. I started fasting in

87
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 2>November of twenty twenty three. I have never needed to

88
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>lose much weight, but I decided that I wanted to

89
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>get rid of my extra ten pounds as well as

90
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>just to improve my overall health. I found IF through

91
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>a friend, and I was all in. I bought Fast

92
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Feast Repeat and the twenty eight day Fast Start book,

93
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and I was excited to get going. One challenge I

94
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't expect was having a husband who was critical of

95
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 2>what I was trying to do. For background, he was

96
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>a bodybuilder when I met him, when he wasn't at work,

97
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 2>he was at the gym. He was almost two hundred

98
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>pounds of pure muscle on his five foot seven frame,

99
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and he was ripped. He got there by working his

100
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>butt off, eating boiled chicken and raw eggs, drinking protein shakes,

101
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 2>and by taking supplements. He now realizes how unhealthy that was.

102
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>He cut out the supplements and the excessive weight lifting.

103
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>He eats a well balanced diet and is very healthy

104
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>at a reasonable muscle weight. Unfortunately, though, he was still

105
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>very much in the mindset of eat less, move more.

106
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that wouldn't have helped me, but doing

107
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>it his way was not sustainable for me, and there

108
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>is nothing wrong with trying IF. But oh, did he

109
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>strongly disagree. This was a very hard time for me.

110
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>We were going through some trials in our marriage and

111
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I was already thinking we would end up divorced. Tack

112
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>this on and it made it worse. We would frequently

113
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>get into full blown arguments about fasting as well as

114
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>other things. Now, keep in mind, he was going through

115
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>his own internal trials and unhappiness, and now he was

116
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>just taking it out on me. Unfortunately that happens in marriage.

117
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>At the time, it feels like a very timely question.

118
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>How very strange that you brought that earlier. Exactly the

119
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>time though, I was not sure if things would get better,

120
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 2>but I did not want to quit if because of him.

121
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 2>In the meantime, I came up with a few ways

122
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 2>to cope short term, and if things didn't get better,

123
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>then maybe he was not the type of man I

124
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be with anymore. When he would ask me

125
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>if I wanted breakfast, I would say, oh, thank you

126
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 2>so much, but my coffee really filled me up. I

127
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>think I'll wait until lunch. I wouldn't do this every time.

128
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 2>I sort of had to feel him out, and many

129
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>days I would break my fast very early just to

130
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>keep the peace. I didn't not fast those days. I

131
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>just had a much longer eating window than I wanted.

132
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>If nothing else, I kept my mindset on my goal

133
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and called it a long eating window. I gave up

134
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 2>on trying to explain if to him he had already

135
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>made up his mind that this was not going to work.

136
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>When we would get into an argument, I would try

137
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 2>and say that I was doing this for me. It's

138
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 2>just something I want to try, and I want to

139
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>make sure I try it long enough to really know

140
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>how it works for me. And in the meantime, I

141
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>just asked that he support me, even though he disagrees.

142
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I would try and sneak in longer fasts when we

143
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>would be busy or he was working. I don't really

144
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 2>encourage lying, and if you have to lie, that's a

145
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>really bad sign. But I was in survival mode. Some

146
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>days I would flat out lie, saying, yep, I already ate,

147
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>and I would say, in my head, my body is

148
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.120
<v Speaker 2>eating right now, it's eating fat stores, so it's really

149
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>just a little white lie. It's unfortunate. But I would

150
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 2>not be able to rely on him for any comfort.

151
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't say, may and my head hurts, or I

152
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>feel a little sick to my stomach, because everything was

153
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the fault of intermittent fasting. I would share my ailments

154
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>with a friend instead, and finally I would share with

155
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 2>him when I felt great, and I would let the

156
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>evidence speak for itself. I'm five foot four thirty seven

157
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and I was one hundred and thirty nine when I started.

158
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I was in a healthy weight range when I started,

159
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 2>so when I dropped nine pounds and started looking lean,

160
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 2>he really noticed. It took a good nine to twelve months,

161
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>but I am so happy to report that his willingness

162
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 2>to accept IF has drastically improved, as well as the

163
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>other issues we were having in our marriage. When he

164
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>shows me support in IF, I make sure I take

165
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>a moment to say, Honey, I really appreciate you being

166
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>willing to support.

167
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Me doing this.

168
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I say thank you every time he shows one iota

169
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>of support. Now, instead of him snapping to me, are

170
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you going to eat today? With this day, he says,

171
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm making myself an omelet?

172
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 3>Would you like one?

173
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Or are you fasting? It took a while, but the

174
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>disdain slowly went away, and now it's just an honest question.

175
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I will take him up on it and let

176
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>him make me an omelet, and then, of course I

177
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>rave about how delicious it is. But most of the

178
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>time I say no. Thank you, honey, I'm feeling pretty

179
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>good right now. Thank you so much for asking me.

180
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Find a fasting friend. If your spouse's like mine was,

181
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 2>join the community. If you don't have a fasting friend,

182
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 2>find your support for your bad days. We've been married

183
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 2>for thirteen years now, and this past year I learned that, sadly,

184
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>there are times in your marriage where you will have

185
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to be strong for you with no support from your spouse,

186
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and they may even try to drag you down. But

187
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>like hitting a plateau and if you might just need

188
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>to give it time. If nothing gets better, make some tweaks.

189
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 2>Marriage is a partnership, and I believe that you or

190
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 2>your spouse's help meet. But when it comes to your health,

191
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>you are number one. And if they won't help or

192
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 2>even support you, just keep going on. I wasn't going

193
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>to lose out on the possible help benefits of IF

194
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>because of my husband's grouchiness. Sometimes we walk together, sometimes

195
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>he carries me, sometimes I carry him, and sometimes you

196
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.039
<v Speaker 2>have to carry yourself. But hopefully just for a little bit,

197
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 2>you can do it. Love you all, and really I

198
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>have so many thoughts about this. I do too, I

199
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 2>have so many thoughts about this. I'm going first bad

200
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 2>that her husband has gotten to a point where he's

201
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>accepting of this right. But I also just want to

202
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>say from me and my perspective on I've learned through

203
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>a not so great marriage and then a really good marriage.

204
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying my husband and I are perfect

205
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and that we always understand each other. There are some

206
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 2>days he's grouchy about my fasting. There's days he's grouchy

207
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 2>about me eating healthy. But I think the number one

208
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 2>thing is that you always have to have strong boundaries

209
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and when something is good for you, it doesn't necessarily

210
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>matter whether your spouse or your significant other is on

211
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>board with it, because it's not their body, and it's

212
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 2>not their life. It's your body, it's your life, and

213
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>it's not our job to always make our spouse happy.

214
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>And I don't I mean, I don't feel like you

215
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>should lie. I don't feel like you should hide that

216
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 2>you're fasting. This is a decision you made, and you

217
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>are a person with autonomy. You get to make that

218
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>choice and you get to protect your fast And I mean,

219
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>it's really none of their business how you choose to

220
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>live and eat and when you choose to eat. It's

221
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>just not and I feel really passionately about that. And man,

222
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>I love that she made it work and that she

223
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>figured out what she needed to do. But at the

224
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>same time, this is where boundaries just come in and

225
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 2>you just say, I'm not having this discussion with you.

226
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>This is what I'm choosing to do, and I would

227
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>like your support. If you cannot give me your support,

228
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>please be quiet. Yeah, I mean I feel so sometimes

229
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>in marriage. I don't mean for this to be a

230
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 2>marriage counseling session, but sometimes in marriage we give up pieces.

231
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Of ourselves without realizing that we're doing it, and that

232
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 3>hits home right there. Yeah. Yeah, And then over time

233
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>you start giving up little pieces of yourself and you

234
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 3>stop being true to yourself. And trust me, I did

235
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 3>this and it happened really little bits over time, until

236
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know who I was anymore. And so I

237
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.840
<v Speaker 3>just encourage you to know yourself, be true to yourself.

238
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 3>If you're struggle with boundaries, start working on how to

239
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 3>have healthy boundaries, read some books about it. And when

240
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you make a decision, that's that's your decision. If it's

241
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 3>not affecting anybody else, that's you. It's all you you

242
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 3>get to choose. That's I'm like, go off my soapbox. Now,

243
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 3>I think that's really good advice.

244
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 1>And I would like to broaden this discussion to even

245
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>be like friends and other family members because mom.

246
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 3>To day and the mom you know.

247
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Today in the community, we had somebody who came in

248
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 1>with a challenge that she's got a friend and her

249
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>friend is telling her that fasting is bad for your

250
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>blood sugar and you're gonna I don't even know what

251
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the friend's problem was. And also the friend said, you

252
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>should only lose one pound per month if you're losing weight.

253
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 1>He right, I'm like, well, you know, I do think

254
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>one pound per month. It could be a pace if

255
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't have much to lose, but that's the only

256
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 1>healthy rate of loss. No, no, So I just I

257
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted to point out that we have all sorts of

258
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 1>people in our ear about what we're doing who chime

259
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in with opinions, and we will never please everybody, right,

260
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 1>So we have to do what makes us feel our

261
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>best and what's best for our health, and whether that's

262
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 1>your spouse, your significant other, your friend, your sister. I'm

263
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of saying, look, I would love to

264
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>discuss this with you after you peruse these resources fully

265
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that I have consumed, like, read this book, not just

266
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to tell you in five minutes why it's good.

267
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Read this entire book, fast feast, repeat from cover to cover,

268
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 1>and when you're done reading the entire book, let's talk

269
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>about it. And until then, let's don't talk about it,

270
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>and we'll just agree to disagree. I think being able

271
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to agree to disagree in any relationship is a sign

272
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of a healthy relationship. And you know, not to beat

273
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 1>a dead horse about my own situation, but that was

274
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>one thing we could not do. So if you're unable

275
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to agree to disagree, then it may be time to

276
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>have some counseling. I don't know, but the boundaries I

277
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>think are really important. Yeah, well, and you know that's

278
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the advice I actually gave you. That person's community was,

279
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, give them your copy of the book and

280
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 1>say I would like to read this, and when you

281
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 1>finish reading it, let's have a discussion about it. And

282
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe your friends is but I don't want to say, fine,

283
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 1>you do not have to read it, but then this

284
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>subject is closed. Right, It's not your job to convince

285
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>your friends with words. I've written a book about it.

286
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>They can read the book, they can go read doctor

287
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Mark Madson's book, they can look at resources that are

288
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>out there from people who are knowledgeable about intermittent fasting.

289
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.039
<v Speaker 1>They don't have to take your word for it, nor

290
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 1>should you feel like you have to defend it yourself

291
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>or know all the answers well.

292
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 2>And a great question to ask is like, I think

293
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of this comes from concern, right, Sometimes when

294
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>people see you losing weight and they hear what you're

295
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>doing and it sounds hard or awful to them, immediately

296
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>going to just bad talk it right because they're seeing

297
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you have success, but they're like, I can't do that,

298
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>and they are feeling like maybe kind of left behind,

299
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe that you're making these great strides and you're losing weight,

300
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>but whatever you're doing sounds alarming to them. And they

301
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 2>immediately was like, oh, that's not good for you, you

302
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.879
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't do that. But it's really because they don't want

303
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to do that that sounds alarming to them. And when

304
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>people really start giving you their opinions on it and

305
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>you start asking them why, it's a lot of I

306
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>don't think or I heard, but they haven't read the

307
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 2>science behind it. They don't understand what happens when you

308
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 2>clean fast and you're you know, metabolically, you.

309
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Know, adapted to use fat for fuel.

310
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>It's like trainer's telling you you have to eat before

311
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 2>you work out or you won't have the energy to

312
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.879
<v Speaker 2>work out. Instead of burning fat, you'll burn up your muscles. Well,

313
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.919
<v Speaker 2>they don't understand and that when you're a fat adapted person,

314
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you have endless fuel sources. Your body has no reason

315
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 2>to go try to break down muscles, which is complicated

316
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>process to give you energy. You have all this energy

317
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>on your body, and so you know, it's just a

318
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of misunderstanding and lack of knowledge. But again, it's

319
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>not your job to educate them.

320
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Right and they may even send you YouTube videos or

321
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Instagram reels or articles with alarming headlines like we've talked

322
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 1>about on this podcast before, where someone is criticizing and

323
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 1>ormitten fasting and saying something about it that is not

324
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 1>what you think to be true, and that can be

325
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 1>hard to deal with as well, you know, when they're

326
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>sending you all this negative stuff. But there are a

327
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of people out there who do not understand the

328
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>clean fast difference. And the research and that things just

329
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 1>keep getting repeated and repeated and repeated that aren't true.

330
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know, if you're feeling better and you're losing

331
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>fat and you're able to build muscle and you're doing well,

332
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>trust that, you know, Cherry. We saw this week someone

333
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>shared a study in the community about fasting and muscle.

334
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

335
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I just saw that like last week, and I started

336
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 2>to read it and got called away. I think I

337
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>was at work and I got hauled away and I

338
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>never went back to read it. But from when I read,

339
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I was like, this is great information. There are people

340
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 2>out there.

341
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Like there are legit people going on legit podcasts who

342
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>are saying women, especially you can't do intermittent fasting and

343
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.079
<v Speaker 1>work out will eat up all your muscle. And this

344
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>study was a study and we're not recommending that you

345
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>do this because it was a fourteen day fast.

346
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you see that I did it. They fasted for

347
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 3>fourteen days.

348
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Now, if your body's going to eat up your muscle,

349
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you would think it would happen by fourteen days.

350
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 3>Well it didn't.

351
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And the article or the study talked about how, oh,

352
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the body has a mechanism in place for preserving your

353
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 1>muscle and using other stored fuel like fat, which we

354
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 1>know to be true.

355
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 3>And that's the clean fast difference. And your body knows

356
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.799
<v Speaker 3>how to flip that metal ball switch. So please do

357
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 3>not fast for fourteen days. We do not want you

358
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 3>to do that. But know that our bodies are amazing.

359
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>We are meant to be metabolically flexible, and so anybody

360
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>who tells you we're not doesn't really quite understand.

361
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I actually just wrote a note to myself.

362
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go get a link for that study

363
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 2>that was shared in the community. I'll drop it in

364
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>show notes for any of you curious about that. Yeah,

365
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 2>so you know, dealing with criticism, that's a big Yeah.

366
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Whether it's your spouse or a friend or someone sending

367
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>you articles, you do not have to engage about it, right,

368
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 2>And I just have one last thing to say. When

369
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you are confident in your decision and you have done

370
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 2>the background education on it, and you know what you're doing,

371
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 2>and you know what's happening in your body, and when

372
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 2>you respond confidently, I understand what you're saying.

373
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.799
<v Speaker 3>I hear you.

374
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But I have done a lot of studying on this,

375
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and I am very content. I am very assured that

376
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 2>this is what's best for me in my long term health,

377
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>and this is what I'm going to do. I encourage

378
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 2>you to learn more about it, and I can give

379
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 2>you some resources when you're ready, when you're a confident,

380
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 2>and you respond confidently, and you let them know you've

381
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>done your background research and that you're educated on this.

382
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Most people are not going to go into a debate

383
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 2>with you, yeah.

384
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Or they're not going to read a book. If you say,

385
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>if you read the book, we can talk about it more.

386
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.599
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to dig into some of these studies with you.

387
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to do that, and if they do,

388
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 1>then you can debate it with them. That would be awesome.

389
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I love debating things of people who are well educated

390
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 1>about it.

391
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Right.

392
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 1>So now we have a question from a listener. This

393
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is from Jeanette from Australia. She said, I have been

394
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>fat adapted for years. I don't struggle with the morning

395
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 1>fast at all.

396
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Usually.

397
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>However, after a recent respiratory illness, with a few days

398
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>on pregnazone and now on I don't know what this

399
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 1>other one is.

400
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 3>Brio oh is that a lift of It's an inhaler okay.

401
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Also steroid, yes, okay, she said, I am ravenous from

402
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>waking till I break my fast. What could be happening?

403
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I am only ten days into the new inhaler and

404
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>struggling to fast. Any ideas why, Yes, we do have

405
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>lots of ideas, and we know what it is, Janette,

406
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent know what it is.

407
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Jerry.

408
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 2>So this there's a lot of inhaled steroid inhalers that

409
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>are used for people with asthma with restrictive airwaid disease COPD.

410
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.680
<v Speaker 3>So you are basically.

411
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Putting in your mouth this device and you're inhaling like

412
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a powdered a very fine powdered steroid. And we know

413
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 2>that when you take steroids it contributes to higher blood sugar,

414
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and higher blood sugar relates to higher insulin and all

415
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>this is going to translate to more hunger. So my

416
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>suggestion would be it's a once a day thing. Try

417
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 2>changing the time of day that you use. It should

418
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>be used at the same time of day, either morning

419
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:09.599
<v Speaker 2>or at night, but try switching it and see, like,

420
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.880
<v Speaker 2>if you're currently taking in the morning and you're feeling

421
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>really hungry all day, try taking it at night. See

422
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 2>if that like initial like spike you're getting in your

423
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>blood sugar and your you know, you're hunger and everything.

424
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it happens more while you're sleeping and while you're

425
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 2>in the fasted, stay already burning through what you've eaten

426
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:34.720
<v Speaker 2>that day and see if that helps. If you're taking

427
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:39.559
<v Speaker 2>in the evening, just maybe try taking it as you're

428
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.799
<v Speaker 2>opening your window. Because every drug has a half life,

429
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 2>so you know it comes up at peaks and then.

430
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 3>It starts to decay, to dilute whatever.

431
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 2>You want to call it in your body. So if

432
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>you can get it to where it's at its like

433
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.839
<v Speaker 2>least potent during your last few hours of the fast,

434
00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 2>it might help you.

435
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Steroids are just known with increased hunger in general. For

436
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason someone's taking any any form of steroid, we

437
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 1>just hear that all the time, increased hunger. And they're

438
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.799
<v Speaker 1>also connected to weight gain, So something to keep in

439
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mind there as well. And I noticed that you said

440
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 1>you just had a respiratory illness and so now you're

441
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>using this medication.

442
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if it's it's not going to be something

443
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 3>that you need long term.

444
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you don't, so you know, talk to your doctor

445
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.119
<v Speaker 1>about is this going to be something you need forever

446
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:31.839
<v Speaker 1>or is this just short term?

447
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 3>And then you know you could expect to get back

448
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:35.039
<v Speaker 3>to feeling normal again.

449
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, all right, So our next question is from

450
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Lauri and Nebraska, and Lauria wants to know can I

451
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 2>do intermittent fasting while using a GLP one medication.

452
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you know you can, absolutely. Here's where you need

453
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 3>to be cautious.

454
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess you know when you're using a GLB one medication,

455
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>it's going to affect your appetite, right, And I know

456
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that different people have different levels of the medication or

457
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>different effects on their appetite.

458
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 3>And if you're finding that you're.

459
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Eating like a tiny, tiny, little amount of food while

460
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you're using your GLP one medication, that's not going to

461
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be good for your metabolism long term. So what you

462
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do is eat even less and less

463
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and less, and now you're barely eating at all. So

464
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, my advice would be, if you're using the

465
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 1>GLP one medication for the purpose of weight loss and

466
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to be an intermittent faster, I would talk

467
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to your doctor about discontinuing the medication and focusing on

468
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>natural appetite control from the clean fast and then nourishing

469
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>your body well during your eating window rather than relying

470
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>on the medication, just because you know, if you're using

471
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a GLP one long term for weight loss, you're going

472
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 1>to be ending up with some metabolic consequences down the road.

473
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've talked about these before on the podcast, so.

474
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Right now, if you're using them for diabetes and you've

475
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 2>been taking it long term, it just depends on which

476
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>medication you're using and what your doses. You know, a

477
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of times when people take it long term, and

478
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>especially if it's some of the older ones, they don't

479
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>have as strong as digestive effects and they are still

480
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:24.880
<v Speaker 2>able to eat, you know, relatively normal. It's when you

481
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 2>get into the higher doses that it really starts to affect,

482
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, really affect your ability to eat a lot. So,

483
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just depending on why you're using it. But

484
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>like I think, if you're already on it and you're

485
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to decide can you use if you know, can

486
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 2>you pull if AT up a toolbox and add it

487
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:48.319
<v Speaker 2>to your you know, weight loss health plan, then yes,

488
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I think during the fast start would be a great

489
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 2>time to work with your practitioner to start decreasing your medication.

490
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And I just recently learned that this medication stays in

491
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 2>your system for twenty days. Wow, like ortal elimination is

492
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty days. So even if you decrease your medication, wean

493
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 2>yourself off of it, by the time you're off of it,

494
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 2>you should be fat adapted. And then let if do

495
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.079
<v Speaker 2>the work that the GLP one was doing for.

496
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>It and real food, real food in your window, high

497
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 1>quality food makes such a difference. And you know, I

498
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk about that for a minute, because you know,

499
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I've not been having my best eating during this whole

500
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>challenge of Chad moving away and learning to cook for

501
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>one and not having the energy to really do it

502
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and just relying more on convenience things and not wanting

503
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to make a whole meal from scratch just for me.

504
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, you know, finally, I'm like I've

505
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>had enough of that. But appetite correction comes so yes

506
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>from the clean fast, but also from the food that

507
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 1>you're choosing yesterday, you know, I'm back, and then making

508
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the meal kits for myself figuring out you know, eat

509
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 1>some one day had some of the next day, you know,

510
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 1>having leftovers that sort of thing. But I had such

511
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>a good, high quality window yesterday with food that I

512
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>made a meal that I prepared, and the appetite correction

513
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>is so different than when you're eating something that's more convenient,

514
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.759
<v Speaker 1>more ultra processed. So if you're struggling with appetite correction,

515
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>whether you're on medication or not, food quality makes such

516
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a difference. So I just wanted to put that reminder

517
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 1>out there. And I also appreciate sure that you said,

518
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, why are you on the GLP you want?

519
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Like when I said, are you doing it for weight loss?

520
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:37.359
<v Speaker 1>That's totally different than if you're on a dose for

521
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 1>diabetes management, and you definitely have different dosages and considerations

522
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 1>depending on why you're doing it. But the clean fast

523
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.839
<v Speaker 1>plus high quality food is also amazing for regulating blood

524
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 1>sugar in the long run.

525
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>So right, that's the other thing I was to say,

526
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>even if you're on it for diabetes, once you start fasting,

527
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you may find that your blood sugar is really well

528
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>controlled where you can start decreasing the dose to the

529
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>GLP one and you know you could potentially get off

530
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of it. We have people reverse their diabetes, their type

531
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.119
<v Speaker 2>two diabetes all the time, and they're able to get

532
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.559
<v Speaker 2>off of their medications. So you know, you could use

533
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>if with the goal of I'm going to reverse my

534
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>diabetes and no longer need to use injections to help

535
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 2>control my blood sugar.

536
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

537
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking to Fred Share. You know Fred,

538
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>he was a very early Intermittent Fasting Stories guest and

539
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:31.759
<v Speaker 1>he was a moderator and are delayed on Deny group,

540
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and so I had him on an interview for YouTube,

541
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 1>just catching up, and he reminded me that when he

542
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 1>started intermittent fasting.

543
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:41.319
<v Speaker 3>First of all, this is cardiologist. He suggested it to him.

544
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:43.960
<v Speaker 3>He'd had lots and lots of hard issues. He got

545
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.519
<v Speaker 3>two pacemakers. Yeah, but his.

546
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Cardiologist is the one who said you got to start

547
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 1>intermittent fasting.

548
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 3>And he was also a type two diabetic. And this

549
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 3>is years ago.

550
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess he started in twenty eighteen with intermittent fasting.

551
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>He was off of his insulin in six months. It's

552
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>not fabulous and he has not needed it ever since.

553
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:08.599
<v Speaker 1>He has been off of his insulin for diabetes since

554
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. And so just fasting intermittent fasting, So I

555
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 1>would just encourage everybody. Our bodies are amazing. We can

556
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 1>do this in a way to work with our body

557
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.759
<v Speaker 1>naturally with intermittent fasting plus choosing high quality of foods.

558
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm going to be talking more and

559
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:29.920
<v Speaker 1>more about foods as time goes on. I've got a

560
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>new project that I'm working on because I do know

561
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 1>that food quality remains a struggle for a lot of people.

562
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>So my new project that I'm working on is about,

563
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:42.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, nailing your food choices, whether you're an intermittent

564
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.119
<v Speaker 1>faster or not, because I think it's time for us

565
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to really you know, the awareness is out there. We

566
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.319
<v Speaker 1>know about ultra processed foods, we know about what works

567
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>off for our body. I reminded myself of it over

568
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the summer when I was we're not always going to

569
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:57.279
<v Speaker 1>be perfect, even me, but food is such a powerful

570
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>lever to pull absolutely yep. So now I have time

571
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for our segment called What's Your Why. Most of us

572
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 1>have weight loss in mind when we start intermittent fasting,

573
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a great reason to begin, but there is

574
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 1>so much more to what intermittent fasting could do for

575
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 1>us beyond weight loss. I genuinely believe that when your

576
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>why is deeper than weight loss alone, you're more likely

577
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 1>to find long term success and view intermittent fasting as

578
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 1>a lifestyle like getting off of all of your insulin

579
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.279
<v Speaker 1>in six months?

580
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Right, amazing?

581
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all right, So this week we have a wife

582
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>from Teresa. Teresa wrote, when I started intermittent fasting, my

583
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>why was weight loss and better health. I was completely

584
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.559
<v Speaker 2>trapped in a body that I couldn't move around in

585
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>without difficulty, and a mind that was afraid of everything.

586
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I was on the edge of the cliff of an

587
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.960
<v Speaker 2>increasing number of health issues. After three years of fasting,

588
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I've realized that my why has evolved so much.

589
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Now.

590
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.200
<v Speaker 2>My why is to be able to live life to

591
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the absolute fullest without fear, without over analyzing every single scenario.

592
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Will I fit in that chair, that seat, that ride.

593
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Will I be able to walk that far? Will I

594
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.640
<v Speaker 2>be able to get up the stairs, up the hill,

595
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.640
<v Speaker 2>off the floor? Well I have a medical episode if

596
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I over exert myself, and.

597
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 3>On and on and on.

598
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.039
<v Speaker 2>My why is that I can live a vibrant and

599
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>colorful life, full of joy and full of love, including

600
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>unconditional love for myself and my miraculous body. I want

601
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.519
<v Speaker 2>my life to be an absolute yes. I can do

602
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:29.640
<v Speaker 2>every single thing that I desire. I have more energy,

603
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>more confidence, and more inner strength than at any other

604
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.640
<v Speaker 2>time in my adult life. I just turned fifty seven,

605
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and God willing, I hope I have many more years ahead.

606
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to live the rest of my life feeling

607
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>strong and ready for the next adventure. That really makes

608
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:46.160
<v Speaker 2>me think. You guys have heard me talk about my

609
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 2>mom has started and how great she's doing. I was

610
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>back home about a year ago, it was about thirteen

611
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>months ago, and I took my dad. My dad and

612
00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 2>I went to a baseball game. You can't say and

613
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>see the key any Royals, And before I went, was like, Hey,

614
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to catch a Royals game.

615
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to go?

616
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you a mom want to go? And my dad said, oh,

617
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I would love to go, But I don't think your

618
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 2>mom can do it. I don't think she can walk

619
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 2>from the parking lot into the stadium. I don't think

620
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 2>she can walk up to you know, the seats. That's

621
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 2>too much walking. I don't think she can do that.

622
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to go, that's fine, I'll stay home. Well,

623
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>then my mom found out why. I was talking to

624
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.279
<v Speaker 2>my dad and she said, no, you guys go, but

625
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 2>we had to leave her at home, and that made.

626
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Me really sad.

627
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, my son just moved to Arizona, right outside of Surprise,

628
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.759
<v Speaker 2>where Mackinsey Rails do spring training, and he lives a

629
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.640
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes from their training facility and stadium, and

630
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:42.680
<v Speaker 2>he sent me some pictures of it, and I sent

631
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 2>it to my parents and my mom said, I think

632
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 2>we need to take a spring break trip to Arizona

633
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 2>so that we can go to spring training and.

634
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Watch the games. That is a drastic change.

635
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow. I mean she's going from walking like three minutes

636
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 2>a day to forty minutes a day and she's only

637
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.279
<v Speaker 2>been fasting since May. So if you think you can't

638
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:09.799
<v Speaker 2>do it, yes you can. Just like start fasting, start small.

639
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>If you can only walk to the ind of your driveway,

640
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:13.960
<v Speaker 2>walk to the end of your driveway, you will be

641
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:18.440
<v Speaker 2>so surprised at how quickly your endurance changes, your inflammation

642
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>dials down, and you have the energy and the want

643
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to move your body more. It's just outstanding. I can't

644
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:28.839
<v Speaker 2>even I'm so happy for her, I.

645
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Know that, and that is something to just be very

646
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.559
<v Speaker 3>proud of knowing that you've been able to help your mom. Yeah.

647
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, So we have a question, and this is

648
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 2>from Natalie and new Brunswick. She said, high ladies, I

649
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.480
<v Speaker 2>have what I think is a fairly unique situation. The

650
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 2>background to my fasting history is that I started really

651
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 2>committing to intermint fasting after having my second daughter, and

652
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 2>reading Fast Feast Repeat listening to the podcast has helped

653
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 2>clarify and motivate me. I have lost approximately twenty five

654
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>pounds and I am back to my high school weight,

655
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.759
<v Speaker 2>which is an amazing feeling.

656
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I am six feet.

657
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Tall with a very classic Swedish heavier build, and I

658
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.039
<v Speaker 2>currently weigh one hundred and ninety five pounds. I've always

659
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 2>had a focus on clean, whole food and low carb eating,

660
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but definitely ate too much during my last pregnancy. My

661
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>first question and fairly defeating situation I am in is

662
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.599
<v Speaker 2>that since losing weight and or doing intermitt and fasting,

663
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I have developed gallbladder sludge. I finally went to my

664
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 2>doctor as the instant bloating, nausea and pain in my

665
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 2>back was getting worse after any meal and debilitating after

666
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a twenty hour fast and affecting my quality of life.

667
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I fully expected my ultrashround to show gallstones, but there

668
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>was nothing. My blood work did show a sharp increase

669
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>in two of my liver enzymes, which I think convinced

670
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>my doctor. I reluctantly told them that I did intermittent fasting,

671
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and he told me that it is not healthy and

672
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:56.759
<v Speaker 2>you can guess the regular advice he gave me. That's okay,

673
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.440
<v Speaker 2>doctors are human and only know what they know. But

674
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I am so sad at the thought of giving up

675
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.279
<v Speaker 2>intermittent fasting because it has changed my life. It has

676
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 2>helped to start heal my food noise and has helped

677
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 2>me to lose weight.

678
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 3>I never thought I could. Have you ever heard of this?

679
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 2>My second question is I was always very proud of

680
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 2>how low my A and C was and anywhere from

681
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 2>five point zero to five point two. With my success

682
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.519
<v Speaker 2>in intermint fasting, I let myself indulge more during my

683
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:26.800
<v Speaker 2>eating window, such as sweets, ice cream, homemade treats, now,

684
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:29.239
<v Speaker 2>my A and C has jumped up to five point nine.

685
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 2>I think I know the answer, But is my A

686
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 2>and C higher because of what I'm eating? It seems

687
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 2>funny because I've lost weight, but my labs have declined, all.

688
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, So I'm going to answer the second part first, Natalie,

689
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 1>And yes, if you had been eating in a different

690
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>way and now you've added sweets, ice cream and treats

691
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:52.559
<v Speaker 1>and your A and C has gone up, that is

692
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a sign that it is not working for you as well.

693
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 1>So food quality does matter, and ae C really does

694
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>show what hower bodies reacting to what we're eating. So

695
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems like to me that what you're eating is

696
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 1>not working as well for your body. So let's talk

697
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:09.239
<v Speaker 1>about gallbladder issues. And I want to remind everybody we

698
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 1>are not doctors. We're not giving you medical advice, and

699
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.440
<v Speaker 1>we never want to tell you to disregard your doctor's advice.

700
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.039
<v Speaker 1>But I can share this information with you, and I'm

701
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just going to read something directly from a search. It

702
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>says weight loss can increase the risk by altering bile

703
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>composition and reducing gall bladder contractions, leading to symptoms like

704
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 1>upper right abnominal pain, nausea, and indigestion. The increased cholesterol

705
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 1>from fat mobilization, along with decreased gallbladder stimulation from your

706
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 1>reduced CLOrk intake, can promote gall stoneformation or gallbladder dysfunction.

707
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.519
<v Speaker 1>And I have bad news about what they recommend, and

708
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.599
<v Speaker 1>that is eating less fat.

709
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you're having.

710
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Trouble with your gallbladder, weight loss is a big reason

711
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this can happen. And you know that's regardless of what

712
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.800
<v Speaker 1>style of weight loss you're doing. By the way, we

713
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 1>know this from just in general, when we lose weight,

714
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:09.199
<v Speaker 1>we have a tendency not you know everybody, but weight

715
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.760
<v Speaker 1>loss is a risk factor for gallbladder issues. And also

716
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.559
<v Speaker 1>being overweight is a risk factor for gallbladder issues, as

717
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is also being over forty and being a woman, And

718
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.800
<v Speaker 1>there are lots and lots of things that lead to

719
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>gallbladder issues. And so I guess the best advice would

720
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.840
<v Speaker 1>be never gain weight and never need to lose weight.

721
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.559
<v Speaker 1>But because we're human, I've certainly needed to lose weight.

722
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I've certainly gained weight, I've certainly lost weight, and so

723
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.039
<v Speaker 1>you know that advice, of course, is a bit tongue

724
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.599
<v Speaker 1>in cheap, because we can't go back and not have

725
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that happen. So you may find that you need to

726
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:49.800
<v Speaker 1>focus on lower fat intake, but also not so much

727
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 1>sugar retreats. And you might think, well, how in the

728
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 1>world can those two things go together. Well, Lean proteins, vegetables,

729
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 1>real food, high fiber, those are all things that can

730
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:03.119
<v Speaker 1>really really help. And you know, definitely talk to your

731
00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 1>doctor about this. But I don't want you to think

732
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:10.519
<v Speaker 1>that you can't do intermittent fasting because you've had gallbladder issues.

733
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 3>And I would like to.

734
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Encourage anyone to listen to a recent YouTube that I

735
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>did catching up with a different guest, Mary lou Reese,

736
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 1>her study of one. She has been doing intermittent fasting

737
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.519
<v Speaker 1>for years and again this YouTube is a catch up

738
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 1>on my YouTube channel, and she told the story in

739
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 1>her catch up interview with me that she used to

740
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 1>have terrible gallbladder problems but when she started intermittent fasting,

741
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it all went away. And so you know, your own

742
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>study of one does definitely matter. And it's very clear

743
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that you have had these problems due to your weight loss.

744
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But as you get to the point where you're maintaining

745
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:48.760
<v Speaker 1>instead of continuing to lose weight, you're finding a maintenance

746
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 1>intermittent fasting protocol, working on your food choices, food quality

747
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, you may find that the gallbladder symptoms

748
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 1>settle down. Now you've got gallbleer or issues, sharing you've

749
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:03.920
<v Speaker 1>had them from way before, so you talk about it

750
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:04.559
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more.

751
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I had my moot right. I've never had

752
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 3>anything with my gallbladder.

753
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So I had my daughter when I was eighteen, and

754
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I had trouble all through my pregnancy with chest pain

755
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and nausea, pain between my shoulder blades, and it was

756
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:24.960
<v Speaker 2>always worse after eating, like usually a fatty meal, like

757
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:29.280
<v Speaker 2>if I had taco salad or went to olive Garden

758
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:29.880
<v Speaker 2>or something.

759
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I would have these episodes.

760
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't realize. I was not in healthcare at eighteen,

761
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize what was going on. They kept studying me

762
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to see if I had blood clots in my lungs.

763
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:41.039
<v Speaker 3>I did not.

764
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker 2>But then when my daughter was three weeks old, I

765
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 2>had a really bad attack. Went to the er, and

766
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 2>as soon as they found out I'd had a baby,

767
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 2>they said, oh, it's your gallbladder. They didn't even image

768
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 2>it back in nineteen ninety two, they just took me

769
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 2>in and took my gallbladder out, and the doctor who

770
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 2>did it said my gallbladder was so rotten he could

771
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 2>all m'st not get it.

772
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 3>At yet.

773
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:09.760
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, it's gallbladder disease can come about just from hormones,

774
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.079
<v Speaker 2>from unbalanced hormones, like they know, estrogen dominance can cause

775
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>gallbladder disease, and having just had a baby is something

776
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that triggers gallbatter disease. But you know, if you try

777
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.239
<v Speaker 2>not to eat high fat meals, When you eat a

778
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker 2>high fat meal, your body has to really push out bile.

779
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And if your gallbladder's not working great and it can't

780
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 2>push out in a bial for that high fat meal

781
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.519
<v Speaker 2>to help digest that high fat meal that you ate,

782
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 2>it's when you start getting the spasms in your gall butter.

783
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:45.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's where like focusing on fiber low sugar is

784
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>another thing they say, don't eat a lot of sugary foods,

785
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.960
<v Speaker 2>just you know, really like a Mediterranean diet, low fat diet,

786
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 2>high fiber, lean proteins, lower processed sugars and processed carbs.

787
00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 3>You're going to help you.

788
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 2>And unfortunate if they've truly given you, you know, a

789
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 2>diagnosis of you know, billiary dyskinesia. Really the only cure

790
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:13.559
<v Speaker 2>for it if you cannot modify your issue with diet

791
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 2>is usually to have your gallbladder removed, but definitely tried

792
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 2>diet first for sure. Diet helps balance your hormones too,

793
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:23.440
<v Speaker 2>which will help well.

794
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>That Matt explains what women over forty as we're going

795
00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.679
<v Speaker 1>through in the perimenopausal transition.

796
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Things just our bodies change. Mm hmm, yep, all right.

797
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>We have a question from Sue in Essex. She says,

798
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I am enjoying fasting and find it easy to fit

799
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>into my lifestyle. I started fasting in April and I

800
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.679
<v Speaker 1>initially lost about five to seven kilograms and I'm now

801
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in the mid range of healthy on smart BMI hooray.

802
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Celebrating with Sue, she said, I'm about five foot seven

803
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and I weigh around seventy five kilograms. I'm nearly fifty

804
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 1>three in perimenopausal taking HRT. I'm also taking liquid levothyroxine.

805
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Did I say that right? Cherry, Okay?

806
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And my question is about this. I need to take

807
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it on an empty stomach and without coffee, but the

808
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:10.840
<v Speaker 1>oral solution contains citric acid and glycerol, which I think

809
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:13.280
<v Speaker 1>breaks my fast. I try to do a five hour

810
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.800
<v Speaker 1>window two to seven, but I take the med when

811
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I wake up in the morning, and I take my

812
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:19.480
<v Speaker 1>HRT before bed with magnesium.

813
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any advice. I drink one or two

814
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.360
<v Speaker 3>cups of coffee every morning and was wondering if I

815
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.199
<v Speaker 3>should take the thyroxine before I break my fast instead,

816
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.320
<v Speaker 3>but not sure if it will be less effective after coffee.

817
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I did take the tablet form before I started fasting

818
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:36.000
<v Speaker 3>earlier this year, but I ended up having a rash,

819
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 3>so they put me on the oral solution. I have

820
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.280
<v Speaker 3>subclinical hypothyroidism, and I wonder if this has also caused

821
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.440
<v Speaker 3>the plateau. I'm not too worried about this, but would

822
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.760
<v Speaker 3>like to shift a little more. I also have joint

823
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 3>pain from arthritis and hip dysplasia, so I regularly do

824
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.559
<v Speaker 3>drink training and I have a good diet. I'm vegetarian,

825
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:56.960
<v Speaker 3>mostly plants and unprocessed.

826
00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your advice. I love listening to you

827
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:03.480
<v Speaker 1>both and your positive energy. We love bringing you positive energy.

828
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Well. I have some thoughts on that. I did some

829
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 3>research actually on this because I wasn't as familiar with

830
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:10.360
<v Speaker 3>the oral live with thyroxine.

831
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:14.400
<v Speaker 2>The liquid yeah, the liquid, yeah, liquid. Sorry, They're all oral,

832
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:18.639
<v Speaker 2>so when you take a pill, it takes time for

833
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it to dissolve and for your body to uptake that medication,

834
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:28.519
<v Speaker 2>and so you know, there's pretty tight parameters on when

835
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:32.599
<v Speaker 2>you can have anything to eat or drink fatty after

836
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.480
<v Speaker 2>taking it. But what they're finding is that the oral

837
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:41.599
<v Speaker 2>is absorbed much more quickly, so it can be taken

838
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:46.000
<v Speaker 2>closer to high fat meals without the absorption being affected.

839
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 2>So the amount of time that you have to like

840
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:54.960
<v Speaker 2>fast after taking it before eating is lessened. They say

841
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:58.519
<v Speaker 2>you should wait thirty to sixty minutes after taking it

842
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:02.920
<v Speaker 2>before eating. Now, something that I looked into was like

843
00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:05.679
<v Speaker 2>if a person was to work night shift and they

844
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:07.840
<v Speaker 2>were to wake up every afternoon at three pm, the

845
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.360
<v Speaker 2>recommendation would be for them to take it upon waking.

846
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:13.000
<v Speaker 2>They tell people to take upon waking because most people

847
00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:17.440
<v Speaker 2>start eating after they wake up. So my suggestion to

848
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:21.639
<v Speaker 2>you would be to just wait and take it before

849
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.159
<v Speaker 2>you open your window, So allow like sixty minutes before

850
00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:27.800
<v Speaker 2>you eat food and just take it.

851
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:28.119
<v Speaker 3>Then.

852
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it may make you hungry during that last hour,

853
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:36.000
<v Speaker 2>but then you're not having as much disruption to your fast,

854
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think it'll help you. The one caveat is

855
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 2>when adjusting the timing of your thyroid medicine, whether you're

856
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.679
<v Speaker 2>a person who's moving it from morning to bedtime or

857
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 2>whatever they do say after about six to eight weeks

858
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.559
<v Speaker 2>to go ahead and have your labs redrawn, just to

859
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:57.719
<v Speaker 2>make sure that the time of day is not affecting

860
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.079
<v Speaker 2>how your body absorbs it, and that you're still.

861
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.440
<v Speaker 3>At a dose that works for you. Yep. I love

862
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:07.119
<v Speaker 3>that you know all these things. All right. Well, if

863
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know them, I do some research.

864
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, all right, Before we get to the tweak of

865
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the week, I just want to talk to you inn

866
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:16.079
<v Speaker 2>about what I'm doing and what I'm loving doing, and

867
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:20.679
<v Speaker 2>that is helping intermittten fasters like you who are either

868
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe in a plateau or you're just really struggling with

869
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>mindset or nutrition. How to eat, how to best eat,

870
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:33.559
<v Speaker 2>how to achieve satiety in your window. These are all

871
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.920
<v Speaker 2>things I've been helping people with and every time I

872
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.519
<v Speaker 2>meet with a faster number one, it's so inspiring to

873
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:44.800
<v Speaker 2>me how much people want to find success with inter

874
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:52.039
<v Speaker 2>fasting and how they are almost afraid to trust their

875
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:56.440
<v Speaker 2>own intuition, is what I'm finding. Like, people often know

876
00:44:56.960 --> 00:45:00.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe what's holding them back, or sometimes they don't like

877
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.719
<v Speaker 2>sometimes people don't understand why when they open their window,

878
00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:06.320
<v Speaker 2>they just can't stop eating. But usually within a few

879
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.639
<v Speaker 2>minutes I can figure it out. And so if you're

880
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:11.920
<v Speaker 2>a person and you're struggling and you're struggling to find

881
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the tide in your window, or if you're in a

882
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.199
<v Speaker 2>plateau and you're not seeing weight loss, or you're hungry

883
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:20.320
<v Speaker 2>during your fast all the time, contact me. I would

884
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.840
<v Speaker 2>love to sit and talk with you. I offer thirty

885
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>forty five minutes and sixty minute sessions. I also have

886
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:30.519
<v Speaker 2>a monthly program where we talk weekly and you can

887
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:34.320
<v Speaker 2>text me daily and I am loving doing it so much,

888
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and I have had so much fun meeting y'all and

889
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 2>working with you, and I love to see the changes.

890
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:44.119
<v Speaker 2>People are emailing me back and saying, oh my gosh,

891
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you know I was stuck. I haven't lost weight in

892
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:48.920
<v Speaker 2>four months, and in this last week I lost one

893
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:53.079
<v Speaker 2>point five pounds. And so sometimes just having a person

894
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to bounce some ideas off of can be so helpful,

895
00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:59.159
<v Speaker 2>and we can work through whatever you're struggling with and

896
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.480
<v Speaker 2>get you back to where you're losing weight, feeling good,

897
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the faster easy, and you're achieving appetite correction in your window.

898
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.079
<v Speaker 2>So if that sounds like something you need, reach out

899
00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:11.119
<v Speaker 2>to me at Sherry at fast Feast Repeat dot com.

900
00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker 3>And again my name is s h e R I.

901
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Very simple, five letters s h r I at Fast

902
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Feast Repeat dot com. I love that so much.

903
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, this makes me think back to being

904
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a school teacher and that we all need different support

905
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:27.679
<v Speaker 1>for things.

906
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's the kid in the classroom, you just

907
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:33.079
<v Speaker 3>hand them something. They do it right, They just need

908
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the book. They're good.

909
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Some people need, you know, more of like the community approach,

910
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.679
<v Speaker 1>but some people need one on one. You know, we

911
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:41.800
<v Speaker 1>would send our kids out for some one oh one

912
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:45.880
<v Speaker 1>on one with the interventionist who was skilled. And that's

913
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:48.760
<v Speaker 1>what you're providing. People need different levels of support and

914
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I love that you've got this added tool for people.

915
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I've been thinking.

916
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:55.519
<v Speaker 2>About doing it for a long time, but I had

917
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:57.639
<v Speaker 2>a really busy summer and I was like, Okay, I've

918
00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:59.960
<v Speaker 2>got to get through the summer before I can log

919
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:01.239
<v Speaker 2>into doing this for people.

920
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.280
<v Speaker 3>I've been so happy. I love it. I look forward

921
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.239
<v Speaker 3>to every day that I sit down and talk with people.

922
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 3>Love it. So now it's time for our tweak of

923
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:10.960
<v Speaker 3>the week. You know I always say tweak it till

924
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:11.519
<v Speaker 3>it's easy.

925
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:13.599
<v Speaker 1>But the tweak that works for me might not be

926
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the one that works for you, And that's why it's

927
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:19.199
<v Speaker 1>super helpful to hear how other intermitten fasters are making

928
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:23.400
<v Speaker 1>intermittent fasting work for them. This is from Gizelle from Ohio.

929
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.599
<v Speaker 1>She said, I have been doing intermittent fasting for two years.

930
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.679
<v Speaker 1>My weight loss is slow, but my health benefits outshine

931
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the rate of loss. Not to mention the peace of

932
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.920
<v Speaker 1>mind around food. Many days I would beat myself up

933
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.800
<v Speaker 1>when the scale is up or not moving, or when

934
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not happy with my food choices, or life gets

935
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>in the way of whatever good plan I had for

936
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the day.

937
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I decided to set three daily goals.

938
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:52.199
<v Speaker 1>One fast number two walk ten thousand steps, Number three

939
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 1>eat fruit and veg cheese. At the end of the day,

940
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I check those goals off my list and feel good.

941
00:47:57.920 --> 00:47:59.679
<v Speaker 1>The next morning, at the scale is not my friend,

942
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.199
<v Speaker 1>remind myself that I met my goals, I write down

943
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the number, and I move on. So my tweak is

944
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to set daily goals, with fasting being one of them,

945
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and a couple of others that benefit you and are

946
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:13.280
<v Speaker 1>easy to accomplish. Check them off your list. Every night

947
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.159
<v Speaker 1>and recommend in the morning. This takes the focus on

948
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:19.679
<v Speaker 1>what is going right and helps you celebrate what you

949
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:23.079
<v Speaker 1>accomplished in your day. And Gazelle, I actually do that.

950
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.159
<v Speaker 1>My goal every day is I have physical activity in there,

951
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's on my calendar, Like I put things in

952
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:31.199
<v Speaker 1>my calendar that I have to do, like.

953
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:34.639
<v Speaker 3>On Tuesday, record two episodes for Sherry and whatever is

954
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:37.800
<v Speaker 3>going on that day. But physical activity is the one

955
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:39.519
<v Speaker 3>I have. And you know I could do it could

956
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:42.880
<v Speaker 3>be anything for me, and I just make sure I

957
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:44.639
<v Speaker 3>do something every day. So I love that.

958
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:48.599
<v Speaker 2>I love that too, all right, So we are going

959
00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:51.639
<v Speaker 2>to leave you with an inspiration now quote or it's

960
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 2>actually just a motivational message from Michelle. She said, during

961
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:59.079
<v Speaker 2>my walk today, I saw a neighbor out gardening and

962
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:02.320
<v Speaker 2>it got me thinking about seeds and our fasting journeys.

963
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Fasting is basically gardening, but without the dirt and with

964
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.440
<v Speaker 2>some hunger pains. We plant seeds every time we start

965
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.440
<v Speaker 2>a fast, throw seeds when we share our winds or blips,

966
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:18.880
<v Speaker 2>some sprout, some compost. We nurture seeds by sticking to

967
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.400
<v Speaker 2>our routine without losing our minds, and finally we eat

968
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:26.480
<v Speaker 2>seeds when all that patience pays off in energy, focus

969
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and maybe even bragging rights at lunch. And let's not

970
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.960
<v Speaker 2>forget the weeds, those pesky cravings we have to pluck

971
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.559
<v Speaker 2>along the way. Happy gardening peeps love that.

972
