Episode #34

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions:
1. I’d like to fast primarily for therapeutic reasons (mental health and autophagy especially) and aim to do three 42s. My issue is raging ketones! How high is too high when it comes to BK and at what point should I break a fast for this reason? [01:18]
2. What is the best protocol for weight loss? [11:58]
3. I am a TOFI and a pre-diabetic. What fasting can I do to reverse my T2D without losing weight? I noticed when I do extended fasting of 42 hours I lose too much weight. [21:18]
4. The one issue that I’m having the hardest time with is my mood during an extended fast (longer than 24 hours). I feel extremely irritable, agitated, quick tempered, & anxious, which is not how I normally am. I don’t know if it’s my cortisol levels, or what. Is this common? [31:08]
