10/09/24 • 43 min
In this episode of Unscripted Pivots, we welcome the incredible Laurie Lewis, founder of Fast Forward Wellness. Laurie shares her personal journey of overcoming weight gain, brain fog, and low energy to discover the transformative power of intermittent fasting. We explore how this simple yet effective approach can help anyone—regardless of gender—regain energy, sharpen focus, and feel their best, all without the stress of restrictive diets.
Laurie’s insights are practical, science-backed, and, best of all, relatable. With humor and real-life experiences, we break down the steps to create an eating window that works for you, helping to reset your body’s natural rhythm and boost overall wellness.
Key Takeaways:
- More Than Weight Loss: Intermittent fasting is about so much more than just shedding pounds—it’s a lifestyle shift that improves energy, mental clarity, and overall health.
- Start Simple: Laurie shares easy ways to ease into fasting, starting with a 12-hour fasting window, then gradually adjusting to an 8-hour window over time.
- The Healing Power of Fasting: Learn how intermittent fasting can reduce inflammation, promote fat burning, and even help with conditions like insulin resistance and joint pain.
- It’s Not About Deprivation: Laurie explains how fasting helps you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger cues without the need for crash diets or deprivation.
- For Men and Women: While many women turn to fasting for health benefits, Laurie’s approach works just as well for men, with specific tips for both genders.
