The Fasting Focused Lifestyle

*Emotional episode warning* This week's episode was challenging for me to record and edit, so I apologize for the delay in posting this episode. Many of us struggle with experiencing grief on a very regular basis. Some of us know someone, or maybe its ourselves, who allows themselves to be so consumed by constant raw grief that it consumes them and their choices, especially when it comes to health...

This week I was able to connect with my fellow fasting friend, Regina and she's had some already phenomenal results with this lifestyle with improving her overall health AND weight, and I am excited for you to hear her story! Books referenced in episode:  The Longevity Paradox by Dr. Steven Gundry The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker Topic of processed food on the body: A Calorie is NOT a Calorie:...

This week we discuss how my passion and zest for everything about this lifestyle certainly was something that wasn't totally present at the beginning of my journey. It's been an incredible evolution that I have loved experiencing along the way. Looking for fasting support on your journey? I can help!  Consults, Blog, & Official Handbook now available!

Despite what others have told me and putting me on a pedestal in the fasting community, and despite my massive (over) 200-pound weight loss, I do not see myself as anyone special. My success on my journey is something ANYONE can achieve for themselves, and this week's episode goes into further detail on why I feel that is. Looking for fasting support on your journey?

Do you struggle with emotional eating? I did too.

Never in my entire 2 year weight loss journey, or my current maintenance lifestyle, have I EVER counted calories. I have also never obsessed over, demonized, restricted, measured, or limited myself to certain foods in this lifestyle. This is a reality for many others like myself, and you can have it too.

Motivation seems to come up and is asked about almost as much as I've been asked how to fast. This week I talk "motivation," why I understand its challenges, and how, I feel, you can truly stay motivated your whole journey and the rest of your life. __________ Looking for fasting support on your journey?

Yes, you read that right, I do not own a microwave. You may also be wondering how the heck that relates to anything fasting? This weeks episode challenges you to think about your need for quick fixes, solutions, and shortcuts... just like using a microwave to heat your dinner. Looking for fasting support on your journey?

This week's episode will challenge you, again, to look within yourself to evaluate where your headspace is at on your journey. Breaking away from social norms with weight loss attempts can be challenging when all we are ever told is to seek externally when wanting to fix our weight. Fasting, as a lifestyle tool, challenges and rebukes all those norms and can help you to realize you have more power...

This week's episode is a celebration (for myself) of reaching now 5 years of fasting, every single day, in some form! I recorded this episode on Aug. 9th, 2023, my official 5-year anniversary of fasting. While I have achieved shedding (not losing, because I don't want to find them) 203.8lbs with this lifestyle, the biggest and most meaningful takeaway isn't my incredible lack of loose skin, it's m...

This week's episode is a wonderful testimonial from my long-time friend, and sorority sister (my great-grand little), Aubrey.

Can you believe that we have made it to  50 episodes? I am honored, excited, and feeling a bit reflective, so this week is going to have lots of gratitude, reflection, and an odd smattering of inspiration from a poorly edited Photoshop image of myself.  >>If you need assistance or support on your fasting journey, I am here and I can help.

Greetings listener, I want to thank you for your patience as I have taken a little break away from regular posting of episodes. I do appreciate all the continued support as I resume and continue to advocate for the proactive change I wish to see in the world. You may also notice that these episodes are now ad-supported. I have made this decision to utilize ads to support the back-office fees and e...

This week's episode was really challenging for me (and unintentionally delayed) to work on and put together. Reflecting on and revisiting the hardships of the past can be difficult, but working through those hard experiences can be some of the most victorious moments of our lives. >>If you need assistance or support on your fasting journey, I am here and I can help.

Yes, I said it! Hunger IS a learned behavior, and this week's episode (albeit delayed, sorry), discusses how despite cultural norms and expectations, we have LEARNED to expect that we have to eat all day, and how this doesn't easily align with our intended weight loss goals. I cover why fasting, I feel, is superior to the typical counting calories method of weight loss. >>If you need assistance or...

Are you grateful, and do you practice gratitude on your fasting journey?  If you haven't realized yet, practicing frequent moments of gratitude is ESSENTIAL on your fasting journey, and this week's episode will discuss how you can bring your awareness to your present mind, throughout every day of your fasting journey. Practicing gratitude will absolutely, positively impact your mind and body with...

Fasting is the GOAT of all weight loss methods, and I am here to tell you why! While this method of weight loss continues to pick up more popularity, I am here to tell you why I feel this is superior to any other method and why I feel, it is truly the last method of weight loss you will ever need to attempt. >>If you need assistance or support on your journey, I am here and I can help.

This week we have not one, but TWO special guests, my kids!  I felt it was essential, for the many other parents out there, like myself, who have struggled with their health and weight, to hear how the implementation of a fasting lifestyle not only improves your body weight but has a beautiful rippling effect on the children in their lives.  My kids have experienced first-hand the evolution of the...

This week's episode is another exciting testimonial from my fasting friend, Robert (Bobby) Jones Jr! His story is amazing and truly a motivating experience to hear.
