I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for the past seven years and it’s been one of the biggest game changers for me. I’m joined by nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert Cynthia Thurlow, and we get into how this method helps you maintain your energy, indulge in fewer cravings, and lower your blood glucose levels. Cynthia shares what inspired her to write her book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation, and how she found calmness in the chaos of her life in order to hit her deadline. We touch on intuitive eating, how the menstrual cycle comes into play with intermittent fasting, and where Cynthia recommends people start if they’re curious about trying this method out.IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:Letting go of perfectionism What Cynthia learned in the book writing process How intermittent fasting can boost your mental and physical health Creating sustainable lifestyle changes How I’ve become less rigid and more intuitive with my food choices Acknowledging that certain foods no longer serve you The first steps to take to determine if intermittent fasting is a good fit for you RESOURCESThanks to Better Help for supporting Earn Your Happy.
