It’s Thursday and that means another action-packed episode of the realest talk on the internet–Real Talk with Jimmy Moore and Dr. Will Cole. Dr. Cole is taking a few weeks off so today Jimmy is joined by Dr. Cecily Anne to talk about fasting and pregnancy. “We can all agree that we should avoid alcohol and drugs while pregnant, but because sugar and refined carbohydrates are so common, it’s difficult to talk about the negative effects of this food.” - Dr. Cecily Anne “I have a theory; fasting fits nicely with just about every diet plan.” - Jimmy Moore   Dr. Cecily Anne Clark-Ganheart, MD, FACOG is a maternal-fetal and obesity medicine physician and speaker, located in the Kansas City Area.  She became interested in obesity medicine after her struggles with weight loss.  Like many of you, Dr. Cecily Anne would experience temporary weight loss, only to regain much of what she lost. At the time of the birth of her second son, she reached her highest adult weight of 264 pounds.  That was in 2014. After that time, she had multiple attempts at weight loss.  Dr. Cecily Anne reached a weight of 202 pounds through an employer-sponsored weight loss program at the time. However, the weight began to return, though she followed the plan. In 2017, Dr. Cecily Anne came across a book recommendation, entitled, The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung.  It discussed intermittent fasting and presented obesity as a disease, rather than a lack of will power.  The next book I read was Deep Nutrition by Dr. Cate Schanahan, which talked about a more ancestral approach to eating involving whole, real foods. Listen in today as Jimmy is joined by Dr. Cecily Anne as they talk all about the topic of fasting, especially as it intersects with pregnancy and how weight loss factors in. This is a REAL TALK you definitely don’t want to miss!
