259. Is Fasting Healthy or Just Another Diet Trend?

“Diet culture loves to exaggerate grains of truth and turn them into something extremely blown out of proportion.”

Fasting is everywhere right now, but what does the research actually say? In this episode, I break down the claims, benefits, and red flags surrounding fasting, including why short-term results don’t always tell the whole story. We’ll also explore how fasting can impact your relationship with food, why it may function as another form of dieting, and the important difference between restrictive fasting protocols and meal spacing that may support certain health needs.

What You'll Learn:

What the current research does (and doesn’t) tell us about fasting
Why short-term health improvements don’t always translate into long-term results
How fasting can affect food noise, binge eating risk, and your relationship with food
Why many forms of fasting function as another form of calorie restriction
When meal spacing may support gut health and how it differs from popular fasting trends
Why the best approach to nutrition depends on your unique needs, health history, and relationship with food
