As we begin thinking about our New Year’s resolutions it’s a topic that may be on many people’s minds and so we’re happy to give it some extra attention. In this conversation we delve into the remarkable story of Angus Barbary, who fasted for 382 days, losing 276 pounds. We explore the physiological mechanisms behind extended fasting, the role of ketosis, and the importance of electrolytes. The discussion also critiques recent studies on intermittent fasting and emphasizes the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this conversation, Dr. Steven G and Andy discuss the nuances of fasting, time-restricted eating, and the importance of energy balance in weight management.
