Description

I’m here with Cynthia Thurlow, who is the CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project. She’s also a nurse practitioner and a globally recognized expert when it comes to intermittent fasting and nutritional health. In fact, she has a TED talk on intermittent fasting that has been watched over 8 million times!
We go really, really specific on the differences between fasting for men and women, how to fast without stressing out your body, and some really important reasons to stop snacking. If you fast or practice time-restricted eating (or are considering it), this is the episode for you!
