Episode #141: In this episode, Terri dives into two barriers that can prevent you from reaching your weight-loss or health goals. She talks about how she sees both fear of failure and fear of success either hold people back from really digging into the fasting and eating healthy journey or suddenly derailing, despite getting closer to their goals.

	14 May 2024	Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Hair Thinning, Plateaus, Caffeine Sensitivity, Digestion Speed, and Keto Breath	00:31:18
Episode #152 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I have just started fasting and am struggling to extend my fasts to 36 hours as I have two small children and we eat dinner together every day. Any tips? [01:57] 2. I do IF five days a week, a 36-hour fast and no fasting on the other two days. I feel fantastic and the weight is coming off, However, my hair has recently started thinning. I’ve heard this could be because fasting is a stressor on the body. I also work out 3-4 times a week and have two jobs, one of which is pretty stressful and high pressure. Is the weekly 36-hour fast just too much for me? [07:40] 3. I’ve progressed into a 3x42 protocol over three months and the NSVs and systemic healing has been miraculous! I’ve not seen a weight or body-fat decrease over the last four weeks after a 25-pound loss in the first few months. Is a plateau this long normal? [12:25] 4. Would you recommend leaning heavily into fat fasting when initially trying to establish a pattern of therapeutic fasting? I am finding it easier to do longer fasts (24 hours+) when I fat fast beforehand, but have some concern that maybe this could have long-term implications. It almost seems like ‘dieting’ which will end once the therapeutic level of fasting ends and then I will have to reestablish another eating pattern? [16:16] 5. I quit coffee a few months ago as it was affecting my sleep and I would also experience extreme sugar cravings 1-2 hours after drinking it. Since stopping coffee, I have noticed similar effects with green and black tea plus I also get the jitters and an increased heart rate. Most recently, I have been getting insomnia after eating dark chocolate. Clearly, I am becoming more sensitive to caffeine! Is this common for fasters? Or maybe it is age related? I’m a 43-year-old woman. [20:50] 6. I have been fasting for almost two years (alternate-day fasting). I notice it takes longer for me to digest meals now vs before I started fasting. Is this normal and does this mean it also takes me longer to get into a fasted state now? [24:59] 7. I need help with keto breath/tongue! I’ve tried drinking more water, mouth wash, tongue scrapers, food-grade hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. No change! I makes me gag so much I just want to eat to make it stop! The only thing I haven’t tried is oil pulling. Help!

	19 Mar 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Ketones, Fat Adaptation, Carb Loading Before Surgery, Survival Genes, Dairy, and More	00:25:58
Episode #144 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I’ve known for a long time how neuroprotective ketones are for the brain, but, wow, what ketones do for the heart is amazing, especially the failing heart. Could you elaborate, Dr. Fung? [02:15] Do you need to be in ketosis to burn fat and does being in at least a low level of nutritional ketosis help you go into autophagy sooner? [04:39] Why does it take such a long time to become fat adapted? [07:20] I’ve heard that fasting “turns on” survival genes. Can you tell us a little more about this? [09:25] What are your thoughts about the new recommendation to carb load before surgery to “calm” someone? [11:12] Is there any correlation between fasting and pulse rate? [12:58] I have a diabetic friend who is participating in a study on duodenal mucosa resurfacing (DMR) as a treatment for T2D. Does Dr. Fung have any take on this pretty new procedure or explanation of how and why it works? [13:17] If a person wants the benefit of therapeutic fasting (like autophagy) but they do not have adequate body fat for longer fasts (for example, a TOFI person with a fatty liver, or somebody at 30% body fat who needs a lot of autophagy for an autoimmune condition), How should they eat on eating days to be able to maintain a therapeutic fasting schedule like an alternate-day fasting protocol? [16:33] What are the signs of a histamine intolerance and can it get worse over time? Does fasting help? [17:53] If autophagy is mostly switched on by the presence of mTor, could a person (in principle) eat a zero protein diet and eat exclusively fat but still ramp up autophagy enough for some protein recycling to aid loose skin reduction, macular problems, skin tags, etc.? [18:45] How do you get rid of visceral fat? [20:22] How long does the effect of dairy on insulin last? [21:45] Why is it easier for women to do longer fasts after they’ve had a small amount of tubers during the last meal before their fast? [24:41] Please note that you need to be a member of the TFM Community to submit questions to the Q&A webinars with Dr. Fung but you can submit questions to our regular Q&A episodes here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs Learn More About Our Community: https://www.thefastingmethod.com Join our FREE Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TFMNetwork Watch Us On YouTube: https://bit.ly/TFMYouTube Follow Us on Instagram: @fastingmethod This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional care by a doctor or other qualified medical professional.

	18 Jan 2022	Fasting Q&A: Coffee Creamers, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding, Mental Health, and Sweeteners	00:29:27
Episode #10 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Is unsweetened almond/coconut creamer in coffee enough to break a fast or interfere with fat-burning mode during a 36 to 42 hour fast? Or does it depend on the amount used? [00:58] 2. Hi guys! I’m so happy about your new podcast I’m a big fan of your program! I was wondering if you have more information about fasting for nursing moms or even pregnancy. Is it safe? Would it effect milk production? [03:46] 3. What are the benefits seen with fasting and mental health? I feel mentally well when I’m fasting compared to eating frequently and poorly. What science can I tell myself regarding this topic? [07:19] 4. What do you think about chewing xylitol gum to improve fasting breath? Does xylitol trigger insulin? Please rank honey, maple syrup and xylitol for use during my 10-6 eating window days.

	29 Mar 2022	Fasting Q&A: Post-Menopausal Bleeding, Loose Stools After Breaking Fasts, No Gallbladder and Keto, Hashimoto’s and Fasting	00:25:57
Episode #20 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I’ve been in menopause for over two and a half years and doing IF for the past year. I have done a couple of extended fasts. I belong to a women’s fasting group on Facebook and have read that a couple of women in menopause have started menstruating again and, weirdly enough, that just happened to me. Is this because of IF and have you seen this happen? Please tell me it does not mean I have a chance of getting pregnant! [01:22] 2. I get diarrhea about an hour after eating on OMAD. I have tried to eat a small amount and wait for a half hour, or longer, before eating again. I try to chew thoroughly and slowly, but nothing seems to help. [04:57] 3. Is keto and a higher fat intake (even though its healthy fats) without a gallbladder harder on my pancreas to process fats or should I maybe try a Mediterranean diet and fasting. I have a lot of weight to lose. [09:53] 4. Does fasting do more harm than good for people with Hashimoto's? [17:26] Have questions you want us to answer?

	08 Oct 2024	Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: PMS, PCOS, Vitamin D, Dark Chocolate, ADHD, and More	00:28:24
Episode #173 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions: Why is it that, when I am consistent with fasting and diet, my PMS and period symptoms (cramps, headaches, and backache) are lessened? Is it to do with insulin? (Jenna from Michigan) [01:30] I keep hearing mixed answers about fasting for PCOS. Some say it’s really beneficial and then others tell me to eat 5-6 small meals a day and not to fast or have coffee on an empty stomach because of the cortisol response. Can you clarify please? I feel better when I fast. I’m still only fasting 14-18 hours per day and trying to stick to TRE but I’m afraid I’m making it worse with my cortisol response. Help! (Amy from South Dakota) [02:45] I’ve been trying to heal my PCOS with ADF for about six weeks now. I have started spotting occasionally and sometimes have shorter periods. Could this mean that my body is healing and trying to self-regulate and get my cycle back to normal? (Sarah from Maryland) [08:12] I take vitamin D daily because my levels were low a few years ago. They have since returned to normal. Since vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, do I have to eat something with it on my fasting days or can I take it without and still get the benefit? (Beth from Nova Scotia) [09:47] Should you eat dark chocolate every day? I read a study that says, “The research findings suggest that eating 48g of 70% dark chocolate each day may help lower fasting glucose levels and reduce insulin resistance.” I’ve also heard that dark chocolate reduces LDL cholesterol. Do you agree with this? (Michelle from British Columbia) [12:17] I need some mindset help! I am 53 and spent most of my 40s gaining weight. I spent hours and hours every day unhappily thinking about my weight. My doctor told me about TFM and, after four months of TRE and 24,42, 48-hour fasting, I reached my goal weight. I was looking forward to the mind freedom but it’s been nine months now and I am still consumed by thoughts about weight and fasting. I eat whole foods, little sugar and processed foods, and fast 24-48 hours three times a week with TRE the rest of the time. I just want the mental freedom that so many people talk about. Help! [14:46] I’m a 40-year-old female and have lost 53 pounds following different protocols but mostly intervals of OMADs 3-4 times a week and 2MADS for nearly two years. Recently, I’ve also added one 42-hour fast a week. I’ve noticed that I’m just not hungry. I end up eating based on the planned windows which are scheduled around workouts and a busy schedule. Should I wait for hunger and so extend my fasts further? I feel more like I want to eat than need to eat. (Michal from Israel) [18:25] I keep hearing that fasting is different for men and women and that women can actually gain weight if we fast at the wrong times. I am a 48-year-old woman. Is this accurate? [20:33] Do you have any tips for fasting when you have ADHD, specifically, the lack of dopamine and how food can be a source of dopamine. What other ways can we get dopamine, especially in the immediate and easy way eating provides?

	05 Nov 2021	Introducing The Fasting Method Podcast	00:29:13
In today's episode, we share our journey from illness to being able to help the people we work with lose weight and reverse the chronic and "incurable" type 2 diabetes. Truth be told, we started this podcast because there is so much misinformation out there about intermittent fasting. Today our team at The Fasting Method has worked with over 16,000 adults worldwide helping them achieve sustainable weight loss and improve blood glucose levels through various fasting strategies and real, whole-food nutrition principles. We believe we have a responsibility to bust these fasting myths and set the record straight. And we're not just practioners of fasting; it's saved our lives. We've struggled with obesity, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and fatty liver disease. We were able to take the lessons we learned throughout our own journeys and apply them, first to our clincial practice and then to our online community, and now we want to bring them to you in this podcast.

Episode #187 In this week's episode, Terri is joined by Coach Bethany to discuss best practices they have gleaned from their clients and Community-member success stories: Consistently showing up for Community and coaching meetings, even when struggling. [02:38] Avoiding the habit of finishing others' leftover food, wasting food, or consuming gifted food, and, rather, recognising it as ‘not your food’. [05:20] Tracking food intake for a couple of weeks to increase awareness of unconscious eating habits. [07:57] Defining clear, measurable metrics of success, such as clothing fit or body measurements, rather than relying solely on the scale. [10:33] Setting both interpersonal boundaries (with others) and intrapersonal boundaries (with oneself) to support fasting goals. [13:17] Accepting and embracing the ‘in-between’ phase, where progress is being made but final goals have not yet been reached. [15:40] Scheduling fasts in advance and planning around social events to maintain consistency. [19:08] Comparing consistency in fasting to other areas in your life. [24:14] Immersing yourself in the topic of fasting to stay motivated and inspired.

	30 Jan 2024	Hot Topic: Therapeutic Fasting vs Fasting Sometimes	00:40:20
Episode #137 In this episode Nadia and Terri dive deep into why so many of us struggle to make progress and therefore stay stuck in the uncomfortable space of starting/stopping, or how many of us push ourselves so hard that we can't sustain consistently to see the lasting results. Tune in to find out how our brain can sometimes trip us up when it comes to motivation because of its love for novelty, and why so many people start the New Year with good intentions but struggle to maintain that momentum for long enough to see lasting results. How do we change our mindset to overcome these issues? Terri shares some great analogies to help adjust our mindset and behaviour and take confident steps towards the success we have been looking for, and Nadia reinforces the importance of taking a step-by-step approach towards therapeutic fasting that starts with, of course, TRE (time-restricted eating).

	12 Dec 2023	Fasting Q&A: Food Quality, Plant-Based Diets, and Fiber	00:21:38
Episode #127 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. What are your thoughts on food quality? Should I try and eat grass-fed meats and organic vegetables? How important is it to switch to this top-quality food alongside fasting? [02:21] 2. Is bacon a processed meat? Is having non grass-fed bacon ok because, here in India, we can’t get grass-fed bacon? [05:41] 3. Do you have any tips for fasting on a vegetarian diet? My partner is a vegetarian and I am interested in cutting out meat also, but I am not sure about the nutritional value of meat substitutes like tofu and other plant-based proteins. [07:28] 4. I would love to hear more about fasting with a plant-based diet. I don't avoid fruit or below-ground veggies. I eat nuts and seeds, but no dairy. I have cut out most highly processed foods and I am doing TRE, usually a 16-18 hour fast. There is so much conflicting information about diet! [09:57] 5. I follow a high-fat, low-carb diet on my eating days. I seem to struggle to keep my carbs low while trying to get in my daily fiber. I try to eat as much high-fiber food as possible (like avocados, chia seeds, and vegetables) at each meal. How do you add fiber to your diet while staying low-carb? Should I consider fiber supplements? [13:59] 6. Being that fiber helps to slow the digestion of sugars and fats (therefore decreasing blood glucose spikes), would you recommend taking a daily fiber supplement? What about when fasting? Does it technically break a fast even though the body is not digesting it?

	23 Apr 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Broccolini, Metformin, Exercise and Weight Loss, and More	00:33:05
Episode #149 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I’ve heard you’ve written an amazing book called, “The Cancer Code.” I haven’t read it yet, but wanted to hear your thoughts on broccolini being an anti-cancer food. I understand it contains Sulforaphane, Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), Glucosinolates, Vitamin C, and fiber. Should I concentrate on cruciferous vegetables, like broccolini, or just work on getting a balanced diet? What are your thoughts? [02:14] I have a little confusion about the difference between taking metformin and injecting insulin. From what I've read in your books it's that insulin is going to make type 2 diabetes worse in the long run. I already know that that’s not the answer to reverse type two diabetes and I’m not taking either one. Like insulin, will metformin also be detrimental to treat T2D or is there a difference between one and the other - and why, please? [05:27] What do they mean by 'immunoreactive insulin'? [12:06] Does the liver respond negatively to the ingestion of supplements? In other words, do the supplements cause any changes in my insulin? [14:52] I started TRE (beginning Jan this year) at about 135 pounds and am now doing 24-hour fasts with OMAD and 2MAD. I have completed a 42-hour fast and will probably try another one this week. I am eating whole foods. Avocados are my miracle!!! I do not snack between meals. My body is still releasing weight with what I am doing now and I feel I have another 5 pounds to go. How will I know when to stop shedding the weight? [18:13] Can you clarify the role of physical activity and exercise in weight loss? In The Obesity Code, you shared that a number of rigorous clinical trials demonstrate that exercise contributes minimally, if at all, to weight loss. However, zone 2 exercise is promoted for its'fat burnin' benefits. I plan to continue exercising for its health-promoting benefits but I would really like to hear your take on the extent to which it can assist with weight loss, and what exercise types you recommend for weight loss. [21:56] On non-fasting days, what is Dr. Fung’s chosen style of eating?

Episode #53 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Last year I had a hysterectomy, but kept my ovaries. At the time, I was in peri-menopause. How will this impact fasting and should I do anything differently? [02:27] 2. Do vitamins or pain-relief tablets break a fast? [08:44] 3. If female hormones are so important for women and help us maintain weight during reproductive age, what do you think about the impact of birth control pills on metabolism? [13:41] 4. We often travel for an extended amount of time to 4000m. I am not sure if fasting 48-72 hrs would put too much stress on the body since high altitude is a big change for the body anyway?

	03 May 2022	Fasting Q&A: Maintenance, Metformin, Optimizing Fasting Days, Weight Gain While Fasting	00:29:01
Episode #25 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I have been fasting on and off for years and had moments of great weight-loss success, but it seems like as soon as I stop I put the weight back on, regardless of how well I'm eating. Am I just fated to have to continue fasting forever to keep my weight down? [00:40] 2. My doctor wants me to start taking metformin, but I would like to incorporate fasting to bring down my A1C which is currently 7.1%. What are the benefits (if any) of using metformin for someone who is just starting on their fasting journey? Can you even take metformin on fasting days? [06:24] 3. Every fast is different. Why is that? I have been experiencing euphoria and loads of energy while fasting, and fasting has been wonderful. I have also been down, tired, and with no energy while fasting. I'm thinking that the answer could have something to do with water and electrolytes. What can I do to optimize the fast and feel euphoric more often? [16:10] 4. Have you ever had someone gain weight while fasting? Are there common mistakes that people make if this is the case?

	21 Nov 2023	Fasting Q&A: Feeling Cold, Night Sweats, Gestational Diabetes, and Eating During Pregnancy	00:28:12
Episode #121 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I used to do 16-8 IF and have now started doing ADF. How can I avoid malnutrition doing this new pattern? [01:45] 2. I am planning on doing 24-hour fasts three days a week for fat loss. For this schedule, you typically recommend (on eating days) to still fast 16 hours and only eat two meals. But, on my eating days, would it be better to not fast at all and eat three meals to keep up my metabolism? If not, how do I maintain my metabolism during this process? [08:08] 3. I am doing three 42-hour fasts a week. On my fasting days, every time I reach 24 hours into my fast, I start feeling cold. What is the process behind that reaction? I’ve also found that since I started fasting eight weeks ago, my perimenopause symptoms have increased, namely I experience more and more severe night sweats. Is this just a coincidence or could fasting be increasing these symptoms. [14:06] 4. I started my fasting journey after listening to your podcast, which I love. I'm now up to 24 hours three times a week and looking forward to doing longer ones soon! My question for you is about gestational diabetes. I’ve had it with both of my kids and was told that eating healthy has nothing to do with getting it. I’m curious what you think about this. I’m determined to get healthy through fasting to prevent T2D in the future and am hoping to prevent gestational diabetes as well as pre eclampsia (I had hypertension with my first and pre eclampsia with my second!) Is there a way to prepare my body to prevent either of these with my next pregnancy. [20:41] 5. Do pregnant women have to eat more than three good meals a day? I get full so quickly and I’m not sure I can eat more than three meals a day. I normally ate two meals a day when I fasted before pregnancy.

	07 Jun 2022	Fasting Q&A: Night Shifts, Coffee and Cream, Fat Fasting, and Markers of Insulin Resistance	00:33:11
Episode #30 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I am a nurse, and I work night shift (7pm-7am). I usually follow a 20/4 IF eating schedule on my days off, but I’m struggling to figure out how to fast on my night shift schedule when I work 2-3 nights in a row. Do you have any suggestions for fasting and a night shift schedule? [01:06] 2. Does coffee with heavy whipping cream break a fast? [08:38] 3. What and how do you eat when doing a "fat fast”? Do you still recommend following TRE? [15:51] 4. Most doctors will order fasting glucose and insulin, cortisol, and A1C to check for insulin resistance.

	24 Sep 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Gallstones and Fasting, High Ketones, Persistent High Blood Sugar, and More	00:38:45
Episode #171 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: 1. Imagine that I dress the carbs that I eat by adding acid and fat so that my BG spike is minimized. What happens to all the fat that I added? Don’t the carbs send the signal for insulin to go up and, consequently, for all the fat I added go directly into body fat? If so, should I minimize the amount of fat that I dress carbs with and mostly just eat them with acid, like vinegar or lemon juice? [01:55] 2. What eating strategy would you suggest for an insulin-resistant or pre-diabetic person? In other words, do they need to low carb to get out of the pre-diabetic range? [08:32] 3. I am struggling with getting my blood sugars down to a normal range and am stalled in my weight loss. I have lost 150 lbs and gotten off insulin and other oral meds. I feel like my way of eating is on point 95% of the time and I am fasting 24-48 hours or longer 2-3 times a week. On my last extended fast, my blood sugar didn’t come down until day 3 and then started going up every day. By day 5, my blood sugar was 189. I broke my fast with whole, low-carb foods and my blood sugar came down to the 140s where it likes to live these days. I'm wondering why, so far into my journey, things would start going wonky. I do have a lot of personal and family stress happening right now. Could that be generating enough cortisol to be negating my diet and fasting or are there other explanations that could be contributing? [16:44] 4. Do you have any evidence (empirical or otherwise) on fasting, autophagy, and reduced carbohydrate intake for people with ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease)? [20:23] 5. Can patients with gallstones fast? Does it increase the risk of gallstones? [24:57] 6. I know seed oils are not recommended but what do you think about cold pressed niger seed oil? Avocado oil is not readily available in my country, and I cannot use butter or animal fat everyday as there are a minimum of 180 religious fasts a year. These fasts prohibit dairy products and meat, so we are basically vegans during these fasts. [30:36] 7. Why do some people (who have never missed a meal in their life and suddenly start a multi-day fast) get very high ketones and have to break their fast?

	31 Dec 2024	Hot Topic: Fasting Foundations or Framework	00:31:39
Episode #185 In this week's episode, Terri is joined by Coach Bethany to talk about the importance of establishing and returning to your fasting foundations or the framework structure you have put into place. They emphasize that having strong foundations or a solid framework is integral to navigating life (stressful times, vacations, holidays, etc.) and your fasting lifestyle (fasting and eating healthy foods). Terri and Bethany use the analogy of building a house to illustrate this concept - starting with laying a solid foundation. [03:08] Then building a strong frame - TRE (time-restricted eating) [06:07] Go back to the fundamentals - focus on the basics first, such as making healthy food choices and establishing consistent eating and fasting patterns, before attempting more advanced fasting regimens. [08:15] Don’t try to "make up" for periods of going off track by drastically increasing fasting or using fasting in a punitive way as this can be counterproductive. Instead, go back to the fundamentals and rebuild the foundation. [11:18] Don’t try to out-fast a poor diet. [18:38] Balance and patience is important in developing a sustainable fasting and eating routine, rather than quick fixes or extreme measures. [22:32] Don’t compare your journey to other peoples’ experiences. Trust the process and take your time.

Episode #57 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Can we take prebiotics and probiotics during extended fasting? [03:07] 2. I’m going to Europe for a few weeks - Italy and France - and want to buy a CGM machine which I know you can get at most pharmacies. Is there a specific brand or type of machine that you recommend? [05:39] 3. Are there any other tests that can be beneficial for women? I’ve been having a lot of problems with my hormones (specifically a low level of testosterone) and I’m tired of going to doctors who seem to do tests and tell me things are, “OK,” without cross referencing hormone levels or taking other tests into consideration. I’m at the point where I want to become my own “doctor” as far as monitoring my glucose and hormone levels. [15:57] 4. Should you fat fast or do extended fasting before holiday events?

Dr. Fung talks about the benefits of health coaching and highlights the connection between diet and emotions.

Learn from Dr. Fung how "obesity spreads like a virus" and how community is so much more important than even diet and fasting for success: "Trying to do it yourself is impossible" ..."it takes a village". Jason, Megan and Nadia talk about the TFM community and the power of peer support vs. the "top-down" medical approach and why the Community members have been so successful in maintaining their healing and weight loss over the years.

Episode #23 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. You say not to nurse coffee that contains cream. Is it OK to nurse a cup of black coffee or hot tea (without caffeine in it) during your fast? [02:20] 2. During the week before menstruation should I not fast at all? I would love a guide that gives a general idea of what types of fasting are recommended related to where a woman is in her cycle, keeping hormones in mind? [10:47] 3. I decided to do time-restricted eating for life and it's working for me, but I don't understand why it's working for me? [20:03] 4. Is resistance training in a fasted state, specifically longer fasts of 72 hours, a waste of time when there’s no intake of protein before and after sessions to trigger muscle protein synthesis?

	17 Dec 2024	Hot Topic: Thoughts From The Fasting Analogy Queen	00:27:25
Episode #183 In this week's episode, you will hear a solo episode by Terri, the Analogy Queen. Because her brain works in analogies, she wanted to share some recent images she has been using in her work with fasting clients and the TFM Community, and encourage listeners to apply these concepts to their own fasting and healthy-eating journeys. The key analogies include: • Time-restricted eating (TRE) is like a rectangle, while fasting is like a square - TRE is the foundation, and fasting builds upon it. [02:30] • Fasting is like riding a horse - the hardest part is getting started, but if you keep going it gets easier. [06:26] • Driving with sudden acceleration and braking is like an inconsistent fasting/eating pattern - it's better to gradually adjust your pace. [11:24] • Overfeeding dogs with scraps is like constantly snacking or "free-feeding" - it's better to have set meal times. [13:45] • Fasting aids or training wheels are tools to help build your fasting skills, but you should eventually be able to fast without them or only use them when you need to.

I would like to start fasting. Where should I start? [09:41] 3. Are you still wanting people to get 90 grams of protein on their eating days? If so, do you use supplements? [15:03] 4. I’m a post-menopausal woman who has been doing a 20-hour fast with a 4-hour window. It has been a great way to maintain, but I haven’t lost any weight for over 2 years. I still need to lose 5-10 lbs.

	28 Feb 2023	Fasting Q&A: Fruit Teas, Treats After Meals, Fasting During Menopause, Self-Sabotage, and Post-Menopausal Bleeding	00:40:40
Episode #68 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Terri and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. If fruit tea is "herbal", such as mango-passionfruit herbal tea, will it break a fast? Will the sweet flavors alone spike insulin and break a fast? [02:38] 2. I am working on improving my food choices. To be fair, I make healthy choices when I go to the grocery store and when I make food. The problem is that I have a habit of having a “treat” or reward after a meal or whenever I am struggling or when I want to celebrate something. I think these are keeping me from making progress. [07:38] 3. During the holidays, I have gained 13lbs back. I have been trying to get back to IF and it’s been very difficult. I think I am now menopausal as I haven’t had a period or spotting for almost one year. I’m wondering if that’s playing a role here? [13:04] 4. I am getting close to my goal weight. What I don’t understand is why as I get close, I seem to self-sabotage. Why would I do this? It is so frustrating that I am the only thing getting in my way. What should I do? [21:19] 5. I am 51 and have been in menopause for 2 and a half years now. I recently started fasting and I got my period last month. Is this from fasting? Can fasting reverse menopause?

	28 Mar 2023	Fasting Q&A: Children and Snacking, Food Intolerances Since Fasting, Meals to Break a Fast, Hair Loss, and More.	00:35:32
Episode #72 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I obviously don't allow my children (11 and 13) to fast. They are hungry quite often though. Should I be guiding them to not eat snacks and to just eat larger meals so as to build a strong foundation of not snacking for their future metabolic health or should I listen to their hunger cues, considering that they are growing, and give them snacks on demand? Healthy snacks of course! What will set them up for future success health-wise? [02:17] 2. I have been into extended fasting for over a year now and have noticed I suddenly have all of these food intolerances that I didn’t have before, or haven't had since I was a little girl. As a child, I was lactose intolerant, but as I got older, I was able to tolerate most dairy. Since I've started extended fasting, I can’t tolerate any dairy at all without extreme flatulence and digestive consequences in the bathroom later. I’ve also noticed increased sensitivity to eggs, amongst other things. Has extended fasting caused these intolerances? [08:32] 3. What are the best foods to break a fast with? Is it best to break with a regular meal or something soft and easy to digest? I’ve heard eggs aren’t a good choice but it seems like eggs would be easy on an empty tummy? [12:22] 4. How many eating days should you have between fasting? I like the 60/40 rule but a lot of people are saying you have to eat half as long as you fasted. Is that from another source besides The Fasting Method because 60/40 is definitely not half and people are pretty adamant in the Facebook group that you have to eat half as long as you fasted. [18:27] 5. I’ve been doing OMAD for the last 4 months and my hair is falling out, a lot. Also, my periods are now very long and heavy, and my anxiety is through the roof. What happening and what can I do to fix it? [22:09] 6. What do you think about taking beef liver supplements to obtain electrolytes? You recommend taking electrolytes as needed, but how would our ancestors have obtained salt and magnesium?

	13 Feb 2024	Fasting Q&A: Weight Loss and Excess Skin, Taking Medication, 16/8 Eating Windows, and More	00:30:52
Episode #139 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. Which fasting protocol is best for getting rid of excess skin while you also get rid of excess weight? [01:58] 2. My GP has told me to take medication three times a day. How do I incorporate intermittent fasting into my lifestyle when I have to take meds three times a day? [09:26] 3. I’ve been fasting for two years. I lost 20 pounds the first year but gained 10 back in the second. I try to do 42-hour fasts but end up breaking it around the 20-hour mark. My blood glucose numbers are up and my weight isn’t coming down. I am a 45-year-old female. I am ready to give up. Please help. [13:50] 4. I was recently diagnosed with vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS). My gynaecologist says that it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder affecting the skin of the vulva. It is a horrifying condition that can cause changes to the architecture of the vulva, intense itching, tearing of the skin, etc. I’ve never known anyone to have this condition, but my gynaecologist says that she has a lot of patients with LS. Have any of your clients seen improvement in their LS? Is there a particular fasting protocol that you would recommend. I’m just devastated by this diagnosis. [21:43] 5. I understand that snacking (even with healthy foods) is a bad idea because it keeps your insulin levels up so how many meals would you suggest is the most effective during a typical 8-hour window in a 16/8 IF regime? Or maybe a better way to look at it is how many hours should I leave between meals to allow insulin to go back down?

	24 Dec 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Tinnitus, Distilled Water, Spices, Fat Consumption, and More	00:28:22
Episode #184 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Can fasting help with tinnitus and sleep apnea? [09:24] Is distilled water okay to drink? [17:41] Convenience is sort of necessary for active, working people, but getting food from restaurants is not always a good option. What kinds of foods/restaurants are best for simple, no or low-prep foods for someone who does not want to cook or finds cooking to be problematic because of portion-sizes and clean-up? [21:29] Can I use spices like green cardamom pods, cloves, and fennel seeds during fasting days to combat bad breath? My coach said it’s OK to green cardamom pods but I wanted to know if it can be extended to other spices? Are there any I should specifically avoid? [20:55] Could you please talk about how we should change our dietary fat consumption as we progress through the fat-loss journey on LCHF, specifically from the angle of supporting healthy endocrine function. If we define the different stages of fat loss in terms of how much adipose is needed to lose (more than 50lbs, more than 20lbs, less than 20lbs), would dietary fat requirement increase as we progress through these stages, as we would need more dietary fat to support endocrine function? [22:30] I am in perimenopause and have just started HRT. My MD is very supportive of my desire to use fasting as part of my goal to lose fat, lower A1C (I am pre-diabetic) and apoB. She recommended I have full labs in six months to make sure my body has adjusted to HRT and we’ve had enough time to adjust dosage if needed. Does six months seem like an appropriate time frame to wait, and how regularly after that should we repeat these labs?

	25 Mar 2025	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Loose Skin, Fasting with Thyroid Issues, Fat Bombs vs Fat Fasting, Fasting with Osteoporosis, and More	00:33:22
Episode #197 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Is the transition from peri-menopause to post-menopause without using HRT easier if you are eating holistically and lowering insulin? [01:52] I’ve just joined the TFM Community and feel like my learning curve is vertical! Should I learn the science behind it all first and then start with TRE, moving onto some 24s before joining a coaching group, and then dive into therapeutic fasting, or would it be better to join a coaching group from the start? [04:47] I read that it is difficult to avoid loose skin using autophagy when you have gained and lost weight repeatedly. Is this true? [08:18] Are there any special tricks or accommodations that I need to include in my fasting schedule when I have thyroid issues? [11:04] I've read your blog post about who should avoid fat bombs, but how does that apply to a fat fast? How many grams of fat should we be eating per meal, per day on a fat fast? [14:27] Last summer, my DEXA scans went from osteopenia to osteoporosis. Since then, I’ve been weight training two to three times a week. What is the best way to fit my workouts in around my fasting schedules? [20:46] Which fasting protocols would you recommend for the last 5% of a weight-loss goal?

	22 Oct 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Sauerkraut, Stress and Body Set-Point, Enemas, Replenishing Glycogen After Exercise, Protein Requirements, and More	00:37:07
Episode #175 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Is sauerkraut OK for fat fasting or olives only? [03:10] What happens to the body weight set point when we are under stress? [04:11] I recently listened to a podcast from a few years ago where you and Dr. Peter Attia discussed insulin resistance. You said you had evolved your thinking about it and that it was not like a lock and key that didn't fit, but, instead, more like an overflow situation. You described it as a suitcase (the cell) already filled to the point of overflowing with shirts (the glucose), and it just couldn't hold any more, you just couldn't stuff anymore in. You also said that it is hyperinsulinemia that drives metabolic syndrome, not insulin resistance. Is that your current view? [12:13] Does an enema stimulate insulin? For example, a coffee enema with kefir, whey, or other added probiotics. [16:00] When we exercise, our bodies will pump out blood glucose to help with the energy needed. For an insulin resistant person doing hard, aerobic exercise (such as HIIT or run/walk), does the raised blood glucose need insulin to process it? [17:31] When a person is doing regular exercise routines, do they need to replenish glycogen stores after a workout or does the body do this on its own? [19:22] I read an article recently about SGLT inhibitors which said they can stimulate autophagy. Is this true? [24:33] Protein requirements are so confusing. If a person has a lot of weight to lose and they have a lot of excess skin (which is protein you want the body to use to minimize all that loose skin when you are done losing weight), how do they know how much protein to eat? Would they need less protein the more weight they had to lose? Does eating less protein force the body to use the loose skin? Does eating too much or too little protein have consequences? [27:40] I have read some things that say 8 ounces of animal products per week is enough and more than that has negative effects (insulin resistance, elevated bad cholesterol, and other things), and so getting more protein from legumes, nuts, and seeds is a good idea. Also, the type of animal products makes a difference; it is not just the processing, but whether it is organic, pasture-raised, regenerative, etc. I think that it can be easy to interpret that, since saturated fat isn't as bad as we thought, we might eat more animal products or not-so-healthy animal products, and, while it might lower insulin and promote weight loss in the short term, there can be other long-term effects that are not so healthy. Can you comment?

	24 Oct 2023	Fasting Q&A: Heartburn, Cramps, Bad Breath, Rosacea, and Body Odor	00:34:34
Episode #113 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I get heartburn in the afternoon/evening when I am doing an extended fast (24-48hr). Any suggestions on what might help? [02:06] 2. I’ve always had a lot of charley horse type of leg cramps and abdominal muscle cramps. usually these happen more when I’m doing a low-carb diet. However, when I’m fasting these muscle cramps happen far more frequently. The cramps seem to improve and not be as frequent if I am well hydrated but they get worse if I drink a lot of coffee and also of I drink wine on my eating days. Should I be adding more salt perhaps? [07:50] 3. I get restless legs (and arms) most nights when I am trying to get to sleep. Someone suggested taking magnesium. Might this help? [10:40] 4. I get really bad breath when I am fasting. I’m now a bit paranoid about kissing my partner. Help! [21:23] 5. I have rosacea that is managed by diet (not eating certain things) and careful skin care. When I hit 24-26 hours into my fasts, my rosacea goes crazy! My face is red hot, and my skin is bumpy - it’s as bad as if I had eaten hot peppers. It usually lasts 2-3 hours and then goes away. My esthetician says maybe it was an allergy to the green tea I drink in the evenings, but I switched out teas and even cut it out and it still happened. Fasting is the only consistent thing that causes this flare up and it can’t be a coincidence. Any idea why this happens? [28:01] 6. I have terrible body order coming from my armpits when I fast. I've had to buy special odor-eliminating laundry detergent to get rid of the smell from my clothes. Do you think its just part of fasting and losing weight? I've heard of fat holding estrogen. Is it releasing that IVF estrogen finally (approx 5 years previous) or is it just a perimenopausal changing hormones thing? I don't think the latter because it began when I started ADF again and I don't smell on eating days.

	04 Mar 2025	Hot Topic: The Perils of Perfectionism	00:24:49
Episode #194 In this week's episode, Terri and Coach Heather talk about how so often people struggle to achieve their health and weight-loss goals because they maintain an underlying expectation of perfectionism. They share how perfectionism may present in the fasting and nutritional efforts you are engaging and encourage more realistic expectations. Summary Timestamps: Being a beginner means accepting that progress will be messy and imperfect, and that's okay. (02:53) Don’t rush through fasting and lifestyle changes, setting unrealistic expectations and timelines. (04:19) The challenge of not reaching goals is more a problem of not finishing than not starting. (08:21) The problem with streaks (13:32) Two strategies to combat perfectionism. (15:59) Embracing the fact that change takes time and being willing to be ‘messy’ along the way is important for long-term success, and celebrating small wins and progress, rather than focusing on perfection, is key to building sustainable habits.

	27 Aug 2024	Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Stomach Rumbles, ‘Anchoring’ Weight, Stress and Insulin, Body Set Weight, and More.	00:34:57
Episode #167 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: If the stomach rumbles about an hour after having a black coffee, does this mean that the coffee raised insulin? [01:43] Is insulin released only when the food is in the mouth? It feels like when a big, heavy meal is in the stomach for hours I could still add a supplement or snack to it and it wouldn’t make a difference, but would there be an additional insulin release? [02:54] I have read that it is recommended to ‘anchor’ your weight after a 10% reduction in BF%. Can you say a bit more about this? I presume you would ‘anchor' by scaling back on fasting, and adjusting frequency and intensity in response to any changes in BF% so as to keep it stable. But what happens if you go all the way in one go? Do you need to ‘anchor' for longer at the lower BF% in order for it to become your new set weight or does the research say it’s not possible to reset it that low if you didn’t pause along the way? [03:35] Is it true that a longer fast (or intense exercise) can stress your body, causing insulin to go up, and, therefore, might even be counterproductive? [14:08] One of the biggest effects of blood glucose and insulin spikes is the damage to small blood vessels. These spikes damage the organs that predominantly rely on small vasculature like kidneys, eyes, nerves in fingers and toes, leading to complications like diabetic kidney failure, macular degeneration, and neuropathy. Hyperinsulinemia is really a microvascular disease. Could you please share how you explain this process to non-medical folks? I fail to explain to my family members in layperson terms exactly what it is about the spikes of BG and insulin that damages the small blood vessels. [16:24] In The Obesity Code, you wrote about a study where they overfed people to get them to gain weight. The study showed that they had a hard time putting weight on because their bodies knew to burn it off. So my question is, if our bodies experience this effect as per the study, what signs would there be (such as raised temperature and/or heart rate) to get our body to burn the extra calories consumed?

	21 Jun 2022	Fasting Q&A: Chia Seeds, ADF for Weight Loss, Gut Flora, and Stress Hormones	00:39:51
Episode #32 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I know you have mentioned chia seeds (in water) as a way to gently break your fast, but can I use chia seeds as a training wheel during a fast because they give a feeling of fullness? [07:25] 2. I do 18:6 daily and a 48 each week. It took much effort to get my gut health stabilised. I have completed a couple of 5-day fasts in the past, but now I am worried about what a 5-day fast does to the good guys in my gut. With no fibre coming in, how do they survive? I don’t want to compromise my good gut flora, but I’d like the benefits of autophagy and stem cell generation. [13:44] 3. I’ve been ADF’ing for 6 weeks. I typically fast 36hrs, only consuming plain water, salt, and 2-3 cups of black coffee. I am 46 and have had seven pregnancies. I have hardly lost any weight, only a couple pounds. What am I doing wrong? On my eating days, I eat 3 meals over 12hrs, lower carb but not keto, and add 2 Ts cream to my coffee those mornings. I mostly do not snack. I find it very hard to fast 42hrs. Would three 42-hr fasts be more effective than ADF with 36hr fasts? Does it take a while for results when peri-menopausal? [18:42] 4. As someone “recovering” from PTSD, I have been taught skills and tricks to reduce cortisol and adrenaline. From a recent podcast I learnt that fasting increases these and I am now concerned that it may create effects counter to what I am trying to achieve to reduce PTSD symptoms. Have you had patients with a similar concern? Is there perhaps a difference in duration, or other helpful hormones released at the same time, to differentiate it from the perpetually elevated stress hormones after PTSD?

	19 Sep 2023	Fasting Q&A: Eating and Fasting Patterns for Kids, Fasting After Weight-Loss Surgery, Bloating, and More	00:44:38
Episode #103 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I have two preschool aged children and I really want to set them up for life with a healthy relationship with food. Obviously, I don’t think we should fast children but I have noticed that their lives revolve around their mealtimes and snacks. Is TRE something that would benefit them? At what age should we implement this? [03:21] 2. I have 12 and 16-year-old girls. There are so many body image influences out there. I am concerned if they see me doing extended fast that they will not understand why I am doing it or that they might develop an eating disorder. [13:16] 3. My daughter is 13 years old, tall, slender and active/a multi-sport athlete with no weight-related concerns. She started her period about 6 months ago and luckily it’s been pretty regular and she’s managing it very well. The only hormonal issue I’m noticing so far is that she’s struggling pretty badly with acne on her face and upper back. I just want her to be happy and healthy and to fuel her body appropriately, especially during all these hormonal changes her body is going through. [22:42] 4. My wife says she can't fast with me because she had weight loss surgery (about two years ago). She would like to do low carb/keto-ish/fasting with me but says she can't eat enough in a meal to last her 5 or 6 hours. Is there a protocol for fasting with a smaller stomach or it is not recommended? [30:07] 5. When I fast for 36 hours (which up to now has been my longest fasting period) I gain five pounds during the day when I start eating again. I feel bloated and very unwell. I suspect it is water retention as it goes away on the next day. Is this normal? [35:20] 6. My question relates to a previous episode where Nadia mentioned that the smell of food can cause an insulin response. As someone who has insulin resistance and happens to be a professional chef, that news was alarming! Is this actually the case, or did I hear that wrong?

Episode #18 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. When you refer to lowering insulin level, is that the same as lowering blood sugar level?

	10 May 2022	Fasting Q&A: Calorie Deficit, Vegan Keto, Acronyms, Cooking Oils	00:28:34
Episode #26 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Does fasting for fat loss still require a caloric deficit? [01:08] 2. I've had success eating keto (traditional) with IF, and I've had success with a vegan diet (not keto) until I started relying too much on carbs like beans, rice, and potatoes. Do you think a vegan keto diet is a realistic way to eat while incorporating IF? [09:01] 3. I’ve heard a few acronyms that I don’t recognize: PCOS, CGM and IBS (although IBS is more common and not specific to fasting). For those used to fasting and the TFM Community discussions, these are common terms. However, I believe that those not versed would be left wondering about them and possibly looking them up. I know I had to look up PCOS when I first heard it. [13:56] 4. I’m confused about which cooking oils are inflammatory and why. Can you please address this?

	04 Oct 2022	Fasting Q&A: Non-Scale Victories, Autophagy, Headaches, and Inflammation	00:38:32
Episode #47 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. What are your favourite NSV (non-scale victories)v? [06:24] 2. Besides improving my body composition, I'm also very interested in the autophagy aspect of fasting. Especially with the skin, could you guys dive a little into this topic? [18:12] 3. When I fast, I always get bad headaches on the second and third days. I know that one possible cause for the headaches is electrolyte imbalance from fasting. I started taking electrolyte drink mixes, but the headaches do not seem to improve. Am I not taking enough? What other factors, if any, could cause the fasting headaches and what could I do to fix this? [23:35] 4. I am hoping that you can explain inflammation to me and how fasting decreases the amount of inflammation in the body? [29:09] Have questions you want us to answer?
