[#102] My Honest Diet Experience Trying: Intermittent Fasting

In this episode of Rebel Wellness, we're taking on intermittent fasting (IF)—what it is, how it works, and whether it might work for you. I share my personal experience testing the popular 16:8 method, uncovering its benefits and drawbacks, especially for women. We’ll explore how intermittent fasting can stabilize blood sugar, its impact on hormones, and why it might not be ideal for everyone, particularly those with active lifestyles or a history of disordered eating.

You’ll also learn about different fasting styles, like the "crescendo method," and how to determine if fasting aligns with your unique health needs. Plus, I’ll break down common misconceptions about IF, like whether it slows your metabolism or is just another fad diet.

Tune in for practical insights, balanced advice, and a better understanding of how intermittent fasting fits into the broader picture of holistic wellness. As always, this is not medical advice—consult your health professional to find what’s best for you!
