0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I'm Katie from WellnessMama.com and I am back with Dr. Phyllis
0:07.3	Pobie to talk about fasting why it is not for everyone, why it can be a little tougher on our
0:13.7	bodies if we are women over 30 alternatives to do instead and how genetics come into play.
0:19.5	If you missed our first episode together, I loved that one
0:21.8	as well, where she really talks about genetics, DNA, and weight loss, and all of the variables that
0:26.9	come into play there. But in this one, we talk about fasting and how it can impact our body,
0:32.3	especially related to specific genes we may have, why our response to it can change with age, how we can lose muscle
0:40.7	with age already, and how fasting can speed this up if we do it incorrectly. And alternatively,
0:46.0	ways we can support and heal our metabolism, even if we have overly dieted for years, we talk about
0:51.4	micronutrients and micronutrients and how to signal safety to the body,

1:28.6	themselves on a deeper level and how then weight loss seemingly is just a wonderful side effect
1:34.1	of supporting their body in a more beautiful way. In this one, I'm really excited to tackle the topic
1:39.6	of fasting because this, I think borders a little bit into the realm of controversial. There's a lot of
1:44.5	conflicting opinions about this. And I feel like your voice is really relevant and important to
1:48.6	the conversation because you're giving the perspective of the genetic side, also from your work
1:53.5	with so many women and seeing this play out in clinical practice. So I know this is a broad topic,
