Kirk Ripplinger lost 100+ pounds with intermittent fasting and carb restriction, but after 1 year of maintenance found himself regaining back some of the weight, which was very disheartening. Kirk didn't want to succumb to weigh regain after he worked so hard to become meatbolically healthy and able to maintain his weight loss for so long. He decided to get in touch with his practitioner, and together they figured out a new medication was driving his appetite and making it impossibly difficult to fast. We discuss how Kirk got off-track, steps he took to stop the weight regain, and how he got back on track to become an even healthier version of himself!
