Summary

This week, Ieading functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole sat down with physician, researcher, and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Jason Fung to talk about one of my favorite subjects: Fasting. We don’t waste any time and dive headfirst into the many health benefits and science of fasting - both physically for gut health, inflammation, and weight loss, and mentally as a self-healing tool. We take a look back and see just how far removed we’ve become from our ancestors' health habits, how that’s translated into our modern day eating patterns and health problems, and how to reestablish our ancient relationship with food. Whatever you want to know about fasting, whether that’s losing weight (or not!), what to eat when not fasting, or the various ways fasting can affect people, this fasting deep dive is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
