EP292: The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting with Cynthia Thurlow

One of the tools I’ve found most helpful for people during the holiday season is intermittent fasting (IF). IF is a powerful practice that requires you eat during certain windows of time and fast the rest of the time. 

In other words, you don’t have to change what you eat - just when. And its benefits include…

• Fat burning
• Reduced heart disease risk 
• Improved memory 
• Reduced caloric intake 

The best part? It’s free, flexible and simple and you can still reap the benefits even if you don’t eat perfectly. 

(which is why it’s one of my favorite holiday tools!)

To learn all about IF and its beautiful benefits check out this week’s podcast with nurse practitioner and international speaker, Cynthia Thurlow. Here are some of the fascinating takeaways…

• The benefits of intermittent fasting
• Cynthia’s morning routine
• How intermittent fasting affects hormones
• How to reduce your risk of reproductive cancers
• The morning drink that improves IF’s benefits
• The supplements you can take while fasting
