You'll learn what intermittent fasting actually means and why it has gained so much attention recently. Dr. Snipes shares intriguing insights into how our bodies have evolved to function efficiently in a fasted state, akin to those resilient cavemen who thrived when food was scarce.
Intermittent fasting isn't just about skipping meals; it's a lifestyle that can potentially enhance your body's resistance to stress, injury, and disease. Dr. Snipes explains the two main types of intermittent fasting: time-restricted feeding and alternate day fasting. With a sprinkle of humour, she discusses the challenges and benefits of each method, emphasising how fasting impacts your body's glucose and ketone levels, leading to improved brain health and cognitive performance.

Dr. Snipes candidly addresses the potential downsides, especially for those with specific health conditions like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. The episode wraps up with a reminder that any changes to diet should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
