Ah the confusing world of Intermittent Fasting. What should you do based on your body and your life? Should men and women fast differently? Is there a difference how you should fast for pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women? How do you know if fasting is right for you? I’m giving you the low down and answering your questions about IF today on Healthy Harmony.
The podcast is chock full of info on fasting and nutrition. The last two weeks we heard from health coach, Laurie Lewis as she discussed fasting. This conversation was more geared for menopausal women. I've had many clients say that IF did not work for them. It leads me to the question of WHY?
So, in this episode, I review the benefits of fasting but also provide insight to the downside of intermittent fasting. There is little research on IF and 80% of that research studies men. I'm giving you some things to consider if you want to adopt fasting as part of your health regimen. In addition, I'm answering these listener's questions...
- Do I have to do the exact same fasting schedule every single day?
- What if I have a breakfast meeting one day?
- What is the best way to break a fast?
- At what hour do you hit autophagy?
- If you are fasting, are you still able to get in the proper nutrition you need each day?
- If I tend to eat “whole 30”, how do I stay full enough in my fasting window?
- Is there a difference in how a pre-menopausal woman should be fasting and how a post-menopausal woman should be fasting?
- Should men and women fast differently?

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
