Today’s episode of Nutrition Rounds is all about FASTING! And whole food plant based nutrition of course. We discuss with Dr. Michael Klaper the benefits of intermittent fasting, short term and extended water only fasting, and the importance of whole food plant based nutrition outside of fasting. We answered all of your questions about intermittent fasting, water fasting and their health benefits. Remember - this is not individualized medical advice. This is a generalized discussion on health and nutrition. Discuss potential changes in your lifestyle and nutrition with your healthcare provider. About Michael A.
