There’s so much confusion around fasting—what it is, who it’s for, and how to do it safely. In this episode of The Woman of Wellness Podcast, I’m joined by fasting coach and educator Nicki Thompson to help clear the noise and bring clarity to the conversation.
Together, we explore what fasting can (and should) look like for real women—not as a crash diet or punishment, but as a thoughtful, empowering tool that honors your body and your mind.
If you’ve ever been curious about fasting but unsure where to start—or you’ve been burned by restrictive approaches in the past—this episode will give you a fresh, supportive perspective.
