• Ep. 280 - Salt & Fasting: The Electrolyte Truth | Why Fasting Requires More Salt | Debunking Low-Sodium Myths | Best Salt Sources | Hydration Tips for Successful Fasting | Join Our Next Fasting Challenge!

  ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS May 7th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use 'fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! 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.

• Ep. 279 - How Fasting Rewires Your Fat Cells | Optimizing Hormonal Balance | Leptin & Adiponectin Reset | Building Sustainable Habits | Beyond the Scale | Join the Fasting Challenge

  ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS May 7th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use 'fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠ Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! 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.

• Ep. 278 - Q&A: Weight Loss Plateaus | Mental Clarity During Fasting | Electrolytes | Coffee Additions | Late Night Eating | Menopause | New Fasting Persona Quiz!

  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.
