I had big plans for my 60th birthday. A full hysterectomy wasn’t one of them. But due to an unexpected diagnosis, I ended up having one anyway.
The good news? Thanks to some key habits, it was easier than I dreamed possible.
In this episode, I’m sharing everything I did to prepare my body and mind for surgery and healing, so I could accept this health challenge, minimize muscle loss during recovery, and come back strong.

How to Start Intermittent Fasting with Gin Stephens
If losing weight feels like a losing battle, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Gin Stephens, a science teacher turned fasting expert, who lost 80 pounds––and has kept it off for 10 years—with intermittent fasting.
In this discussion, we're talking about the hardest part of intermittent fasting: getting started. After speaking with thousands of people and discovering why they give up, Gin created a simple approach for establishing the habit, sticking with it, and finally seeing results. We cover common misconceptions about fasting, why intuitive eating may have failed you, and how achieving metabolic flexibility can change your relationship with food.
Plus, Gin shares her tips for dealing with hunger and cravings, and the magic of giving fasting a try for 28 days.
If your metabolic health is on your mind, this conversation is going to give you some serious food for thought.
