Fasting For Life

• Ep. 288 - Fasting for Heart Health | How IF Prevents Cardiovascular Disease by Reducing Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar Spikes | 88% Metabolically Unfit Can Reverse Heart Disease Risk with Fasting | New Fasting Persona Quiz!

  This episode reveals how fasting is the most powerful tool for preventing cardiovascular disease and reversing metabolic dysfunction that affects 88% of Americans. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why fasting goes far beyond weight loss to address the root cause of heart disease: insulin resistance and dangerous blood sugar variability. Discover how consistent fasting protocols can dramatically reduce your risk when every 1% increase in A1C levels raises heart problems by 12%, major cardiovascular events by 8%, and heart-related kidney issues by 17%. Learn why diabetics with the highest blood sugar swings face 2.5 times higher heart disease risk - and how fasting flattens these dangerous glucose spikes. The hosts break down how fasting reverses metabolic syndrome (affecting 25% of the population) and helps the 70-80 million undiagnosed pre-diabetics who have normal A1C but dangerously high fasting insulin levels. Understand how fasting prevents the "rust on a bumper" effect of cardiovascular disease that develops slowly over decades. Get specific fasting strategies for reducing glycemic variability, controlling insulin spikes, and using intermittent fasting as cardiovascular protection. This episode reveals why monitoring fasting insulin during your fasting journey is more important than cholesterol panels, and how consistent fasting protocols reverse the inflammatory cascade leading to heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Essential for anyone using fasting to prevent cardiovascular disease and optimize metabolic health for life. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep. When you don't get enough quality sleep, your body basically fights against you - making it way harder to burn fat and much easier to store it, especially around your belly. You'll discover why people who get 7+ hours of good sleep have a huge advantage when it comes to losing weight, and how even one terrible night of sleep can mess with your body's ability to handle food properly. The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you. But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals.

  ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 25th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use 'fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals how fasting literally shrinks fat cells by keeping insulin low, with Dr. Scott and Tommy breaking down the science behind why 95% of diets fail but fasting succeeds long-term. Discover how consistent fasting can boost your metabolic rate by 300 calories per day - that's 2,100 extra calories burned weekly without additional exercise. Learn the crucial difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat storage, why fructose from drinks creates dangerous belly fat, and how overfilled fat cells become metabolically active troublemakers that block satiety signals. The hosts share why protein must be your priority during eating windows (aim for 40% of your intake), when to shift your eating window earlier in the day for better insulin sensitivity, and how to avoid the "breakfast blunder" that keeps you hungry all day. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and want a sustainable approach that works with your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms, this episode provides the insulin-focused strategy for lasting results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

Dr. Scott and Tommy explain the "glucose management zone" concept - treating every eating window as an opportunity to control blood sugar volatility rather than create metabolic chaos. Learn why that post-meal energy crash leads to late-night cravings that break your fasts, and discover simple strategies like apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, and meal sequencing that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%. If you struggle with hunger between meals, can't seem to close your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts due to cravings, this episode provides the blood sugar management tools to make fasting feel effortless and sustainable. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

• Ep. 284 - Why Fasting Gets Harder at Night | Morning Eating Windows Reduce Hunger | Meal Timing for Fasting Success | Breaking Late Night Eating While Fasting | Front-Load Calories to Control Cravings | New Fasting Persona Quiz!

  This episode reveals groundbreaking research from the Journal of Cell Metabolism showing that when you eat matters as much as what you eat for hunger control and fasting success. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a study demonstrating that consuming 45% of daily calories at breakfast versus dinner dramatically reduces hunger and appetite without changing metabolism or weight loss. Learn why your physiology works against you when eating large evening meals, making it harder to close your eating window and stick to fasts. If you struggle with late-night cravings, can't seem to end your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts in the evening, this episode provides the meal timing strategy to align your eating with your body's natural circadian rhythm for easier, more sustainable fasting. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.
