REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals how aligning your intermittent fasting schedule with your circadian rhythm can dramatically improve weight loss and metabolic health. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down the science showing that eating the same meal at 8 AM versus 8 PM results in 30% less glucose processing effectiveness at night, making evening fasting windows less optimal. Discover research proving that women eating 70% of calories before noon lost significantly more weight than late eaters, and how just one hour of "social jet lag" (varying bedtime) increases diabetes risk by 40%. Learn the three main circadian disruptors sabotaging your fasting success: excessive blue light exposure at night, irregular sleep schedules, and late-night eating. The hosts explain why your worst cravings happen after dinner (it's biology, not willpower), how light exposure while sleeping increases BMI and waist circumference, and why shift workers have higher rates of metabolic dysfunction. Get actionable strategies for optimizing your fasting windows, including morning sunlight exposure protocols, blue light protection methods, and why turning off kitchen lights during evening fasts can eliminate food cravings. This episode provides the missing piece for fasters struggling with plateaus, hunger, or inconsistent results - showing how to work with your body's natural 24-hour clock rather than against it. Essential for anyone wanting to maximize their intermittent fasting results by understanding when your body is primed for fat burning versus fat storage throughout the day.

REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals shocking research from the Journal of Nature Metabolism showing why restarting your fasting routine after vacation or weekend indulgences feels impossibly difficult - and it's not your fault. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a groundbreaking study demonstrating that just 5 days of eating an extra 1,100 calories (equivalent to 4 drinks or one extra meal plus dessert) creates lasting brain changes that persist for weeks, making fasting adherence incredibly challenging. Discover how short-term overeating disrupts brain insulin sensitivity, reduces reward sensitivity (making fasting victories feel less motivating), increases punishment sensitivity (amplifying guilt when you break fasts), and impairs memory consolidation so you can't remember your fasting successes. Learn why your brain adapts to caloric overload faster than your body shows weight gain, creating a neurological "lag effect" that sabotages your fasting motivation and willpower. The hosts provide practical fasting recovery strategies, including why you should expect the same recovery time as your time "off track," how to use strategic 24-36 hour fasts to reset brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and restore normal hunger cues, and why you shouldn't immediately return to long extended fasts as "punishment." This episode reframes fasting setbacks as normal biology rather than moral failure, teaching you to anticipate and work with your brain's adaptation rather than fighting against it. Essential listening for anyone struggling with the summer vacation fasting cycle, weekend warrior mentality, or the frustrating pattern of breaking their fasting routine and struggling to get back on track.

REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals game-changing research from a meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials with 1,341 participants that will transform how you approach intermittent fasting. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down the shocking discovery that fasting without calorie counting produces DOUBLE the weight loss compared to fasting while tracking calories - 6.22 pounds versus 3.22 pounds respectively. More importantly, only the non-calorie counting fasting group saw significant improvements in fasting glucose (8-point drop), insulin levels (6.3 point reduction), cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, while the calorie-controlled group showed no consistent metabolic improvements. Learn why obsessing over hitting your daily calorie targets during eating windows actually sabotages your fasting benefits by potentially causing you to overeat, creating exaggerated blood sugar spikes, and interfering with natural hunger and satiety cues. The hosts explain how fasting naturally creates caloric restriction through appetite regulation and circadian biology optimization, making manual calorie counting unnecessary and counterproductive. Discover why the simplification approach - choosing an eating window and sticking to it consistently while prioritizing protein - outperforms complicated tracking methods for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health. This episode provides the scientific validation that fasting works best when you trust the process and let your body's natural mechanisms guide food intake, rather than forcing predetermined calorie targets. Essential listening for anyone frustrated with calorie counting approaches or wondering whether they need to track macros while intermittent fasting. The research conclusively shows: fasting simplifies everything while delivering superior results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

This episode reveals groundbreaking 2025 research that will revolutionize how you approach OMAD (One Meal A Day) fasting. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a game-changing study showing how your pre-fast meal composition dramatically affects ketosis timing and fat burning efficiency during 24-hour fasts. Discover the shocking difference between starting a fast with a low-carb, high-fat meal versus a high-carb, low-fat meal: the low-carb group reached nutritional ketosis by hour 12, while the high-carb group never achieved ketosis during the entire 24-hour period. Learn how the right pre-fast meal drops insulin by 42% within one hour, increases fat-burning hormone glucagon by 24%, and naturally boosts GLP-1 (the "Ozempic hormone") by 27% and GIP by 34.5% - giving you natural appetite suppression and metabolic enhancement. The hosts explain why this simple meal composition change (60% fat, 30% protein, 10% carbs versus the opposite) can be the difference between plateau frustration and consistent fat loss results. Understand why your dinner OMAD might be sabotaging your progress, how meal timing amplifies these effects, and practical food swaps to optimize your pre-fast nutrition. If you're stuck in the 3-5 pound weight fluctuation cycle despite consistent OMAD fasting, this episode provides the missing piece to unlock sustained ketosis and accelerated fat burning. Essential listening for anyone wanting to maximize their OMAD strategy and achieve consistent, sustainable results without longer fasts or extreme measures. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

This episode reveals how fasting is the most powerful tool for preventing cardiovascular disease and reversing metabolic dysfunction that affects 88% of Americans. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why fasting goes far beyond weight loss to address the root cause of heart disease: insulin resistance and dangerous blood sugar variability. Discover how consistent fasting protocols can dramatically reduce your risk when every 1% increase in A1C levels raises heart problems by 12%, major cardiovascular events by 8%, and heart-related kidney issues by 17%. Learn why diabetics with the highest blood sugar swings face 2.5 times higher heart disease risk - and how fasting flattens these dangerous glucose spikes. The hosts break down how fasting reverses metabolic syndrome (affecting 25% of the population) and helps the 70-80 million undiagnosed pre-diabetics who have normal A1C but dangerously high fasting insulin levels. Understand how fasting prevents the "rust on a bumper" effect of cardiovascular disease that develops slowly over decades. Get specific fasting strategies for reducing glycemic variability, controlling insulin spikes, and using intermittent fasting as cardiovascular protection. This episode reveals why monitoring fasting insulin during your fasting journey is more important than cholesterol panels, and how consistent fasting protocols reverse the inflammatory cascade leading to heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Essential for anyone using fasting to prevent cardiovascular disease and optimize metabolic health for life. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals the truth about how bad sleep is secretly sabotaging your weight loss, even when you're doing everything else right. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep. When you don't get enough quality sleep, your body basically fights against you - making it way harder to burn fat and much easier to store it, especially around your belly. You'll discover why people who get 7+ hours of good sleep have a huge advantage when it comes to losing weight, and how even one terrible night of sleep can mess with your body's ability to handle food properly. The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you. But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals. If you've been stuck at a weight loss plateau despite doing intermittent fasting and everything else "right," your sleep might be the missing piece. This episode gives you the exact steps to turn sleep into your secret weight loss weapon. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

This episode reveals how fasting literally shrinks fat cells by keeping insulin low, with Dr. Scott and Tommy breaking down the science behind why 95% of diets fail but fasting succeeds long-term. Discover how consistent fasting can boost your metabolic rate by 300 calories per day - that's 2,100 extra calories burned weekly without additional exercise. Learn the crucial difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat storage, why fructose from drinks creates dangerous belly fat, and how overfilled fat cells become metabolically active troublemakers that block satiety signals. The hosts share why protein must be your priority during eating windows (aim for 40% of your intake), when to shift your eating window earlier in the day for better insulin sensitivity, and how to avoid the "breakfast blunder" that keeps you hungry all day. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and want a sustainable approach that works with your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms, this episode provides the insulin-focused strategy for lasting results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

This episode dives deep into why blood sugar spikes can sabotage your fasting success and make it nearly impossible to close your eating window. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain the "glucose management zone" concept - treating every eating window as an opportunity to control blood sugar volatility rather than create metabolic chaos. Learn why that post-meal energy crash leads to late-night cravings that break your fasts, and discover simple strategies like apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, and meal sequencing that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%. If you struggle with hunger between meals, can't seem to close your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts due to cravings, this episode provides the blood sugar management tools to make fasting feel effortless and sustainable. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling challenge conventional wisdom about salt intake during fasting, revealing why proper electrolyte balance is crucial for fasting success. They explain how fasting and low-carb diets naturally flush out sodium, leading to symptoms many mistakenly attribute to "keto flu" or fasting difficulties—headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle cramps—which are actually signs of electrolyte depletion. The hosts share surprising research showing that moderate salt intake (4-6g daily) is associated with longer lifespans and lower mortality rates, contrary to traditional medical advice. They offer practical guidance on choosing mineral-rich salt sources like Redmond's Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt versus refined table salt, and provide specific strategies for maintaining proper hydration during fasting. Whether you're struggling with fasting consistency or experiencing energy dips during extended fasts, this episode provides the science-backed solutions to optimize your fasting experience through proper salt intake.

In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle common fasting questions from their listeners. They address the frustration of weight loss plateaus, explaining why blood sugar improvements are more important markers of progress than scale movement, especially during periods of high ketosis when healing happens beneath the surface. The hosts explore the powerful neurological benefits of fasting, including improved mental clarity, focus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor production that supports cognitive function. They provide practical guidance on electrolyte supplementation during fasting, clarify coffee additions (and when a little cream might be acceptable), and explain why shifting eating windows earlier in the day is particularly beneficial, especially for those in menopause who face additional hormonal challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize consistency over perfection and provide actionable strategies for adapting fasting to individual needs and circumstances.

In this evidence-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze a brand-new clinical trial comparing 4:3 intermittent fasting versus daily caloric restriction over 12 months. The hosts break down the surprising finding that intermittent fasting participants lost significantly more weight (17 pounds vs 11 pounds) while experiencing a dramatic improvement in their relationship with food, shown by a remarkable two-point reduction in binge eating scores compared to almost no change in the calorie restriction group. They explain why fasting showed better long-term adherence (only 19% dropout rate versus 30% in the calorie counting group) despite both approaches creating the same weekly calorie deficit. The episode highlights how the fasting group was nearly 2.5 times more likely to achieve clinically significant 10% weight loss, and offers practical guidance for adapting this research-backed approach to your own fasting schedule. The hosts also discuss how results might be even better with increased protein intake and resistance training—two factors absent from the original study.

In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore how your body's internal clock dramatically impacts fasting effectiveness and metabolic health. The hosts reveal research showing that identical meals eaten at different times of day produce completely different blood sugar responses—with evening meals causing 17% higher glucose spikes and 20% lower insulin effectiveness. They explain why shifting your eating window earlier in the day can significantly improve weight loss, even without changing your food choices. The episode offers practical strategies for aligning your fasting schedule with your circadian biology, including morning and evening light exposure tips, consistent sleep patterns, and meal timing adjustments that make fasting more effective. Whether you're struggling with a weight loss plateau or looking to optimize your fasting routine, this episode provides actionable steps to harness your body's natural rhythms for better results.

In this practical episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how apple cider vinegar can be a powerful optimizer for your fasting lifestyle. They examine research showing that just two tablespoons of ACV daily helped diabetic patients dramatically lower blood sugar, reduce waist circumference, and improve cholesterol markers without changing their diet. The hosts share their contrasting approaches to incorporating ACV into fasting: Scott uses it to suppress hunger pangs and break emotional food connections during fasting windows. In contrast, Tommy uses it to signal the end of eating periods—like "brushing your teeth" for your fasting timer. They explain how ACV improves fasting results by enhancing insulin sensitivity, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting fat metabolism. They offer listeners a simple yet remarkably effective tool to enhance their fasting results with minimal effort and maximum impact.

In this research-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze groundbreaking findings from a network meta-analysis that evaluates the most effective combinations of fasting styles and exercise types for weight loss. The study's surprising conclusion reveals that alternate-day fasting paired with moderate-intensity continuous training significantly outperforms other approaches, scoring an impressive 88% effectiveness for weight loss and 93% for fat mass reduction. The hosts break down why this combination works so well—explaining how it enhances metabolic flexibility, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes sustainable fat oxidation—while debunking common misconceptions about needing high-intensity workouts for optimal results. They provide practical guidance for implementing these evidence-based strategies, emphasizing that consistent moderate exercise (like zone 2 training) combined with strategic longer fasting windows delivers superior outcomes with better long-term adherence than traditional approaches. Whether you're just starting your fasting journey or looking to optimize your current routine, this episode offers clear, actionable insights backed by the latest scientific research.
