In this episode, I explain why I stopped using intermittent fasting as my main approach, even though it helped me for years. We talk about the real benefits of fasting, why it often works better for men, why women need to be more careful with it, and how over fasting can accidentally turn into calorie restriction that disrupts hormones and the menstrual cycle.
I also share why fasting stopped supporting my performance as an athlete, how my training changed when I started eating before workouts, and how to find an eating schedule you can sustain long term.
