In this powerful episode of The Scalpel’s Edge, Dr. Tim Sayed, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and holistic wellness expert, dives deep into the intersection of science, spirituality, and self-discipline. Using his own experience with Ramadan fasting as a lens, Dr. Sayed unpacks the compelling health benefits of intermittent fasting — from fat loss and improved metabolic markers to enhanced emotional well-being and even athletic performance.
But this isn't just another episode on dieting. It’s a masterclass in how ancient spiritual practices align with cutting-edge medical science. With research-backed insights on glucose regulation, inflammation, gut health, and the mind-body connection, you’ll walk away not only inspired but equipped to rethink your relationship with food, health, and willpower. Whether you're fasting for faith or fitness, this episode may just change how you eat — and how you live.
