Dr Mary Barson and Dr Lucy Burns cut through the confusion around fasting, protein, and what really works for women. You'll learn how to balance intermittent fasting with your protein needs, why you shouldn't worry about hitting protein targets on fasting days but must prioritise them on eating days, and discover common fasting mistakes like going "too fast and furious" before your body is ready. The doctors explain how to build up your fasting practice gradually, what to drink during a fast, when fasting might not suit you (including during different phases of your menstrual cycle), and why more fasting isn't always better. If you've been told that women shouldn't fast or you're confused about how to make fasting work with your goals, this episode gives you practical, flexible strategies you can actually use.
