In this episode of the Kate Hamilton Health podcast, I sit down with Ashley Bizzell, a registered dietitian and diabetes care specialist with a deep passion for using lifestyle medicine to reverse chronic disease. We dive into the powerful connection between nutrition, fasting, and sustainable health - and how small, strategic changes can lead to big transformations. Ashley shares her clinical experience and gives us a closer look at the science behind the fasting-mimicking diet, what makes it unique, and how it supports metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation reduction. We also talk about real-world strategies for creating long-term habits, how to balance whole foods and supplements, and why telehealth is changing the game for accessible, ongoing care. If you're curious about reversing conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease through lifestyle shifts, this episode is packed with actionable insight. Disclaimer: I don't personally recommend fasting as a universal approach and share my concerns in this episode. This conversation is meant to inform - not replace personalised medical advice.
