WHAT YOU’RE GETTING WRONG ABOUT FASTING
I’m sure you’ve all heard about the benefits of fasting. It’s been around for thousands of years, but has seen a rise in popularity recently when it comes to losing weight, dieting, and performing at an optimal level. As with anything though, a lot can get lost in translation — myths become accepted as facts, and before we know it, people begin doing even the healthiest things in unhealthy ways.
That’s why I wanted to bring together some of the world’s leading fasting experts to help separate fact from fiction on today’s special mashup episode. These are some of the most helpful and insightful conversations I’ve had around the topic of fasting, so I hope you find them as eye-opening as I did.
