Optimal Metabolism

There are many different types of fasting… intermittent, alternate day, one meal a day, crescendo fasting, extended fasts, and more! How do you know where to start? Which type is best for you? Not every method fits into every lifestyle, and Shana will help you determine where to start, and whether or not it might be time to switch things up and try something new. Whether you are a new intermittent faster, you have many health issues and are looking to reverse disease, you have been fasting a while but are in a stall or not seeing progress, or are looking to prevent disease and extend longevity, Shana will review the many different types of fasting, so you can decide where to start and which is appropriate for you.

Jim Steineke adapted an intermittent fasting lifestyle 4 months ago after decades of weight fluctuations and sleep disturbances. Since that time he has achieved an optimal weight, improved his overall energy, kicked sweet cravings, and is experiencing his best sleep in decades. Jim's wife Heather was one of Shana's first success stories and podcast interviews. Jim saw Heather achieve success, so he worked to adapt the same type of lifestyle. He has found it to simplify his life and bring sustained health improvements. Listen to his inspirational story! Interested in the Whoop Band Jim refers to using in this episode?

A few weeks ago I released an episode of intermittent fasting FAQ's and it was one of my most downloaded episodes, so I decided to do another round as there are so many questions to be answered! In this episode I answer the following questions: Which IF regimen is best for me? Does is take longer for healing to occur with long-standing obesity and chronic illness? I'm Type 2 Diabetic, why is my fasting sugar in the morning the highest of the day? How does IF and LCHF help digestive issues? Does IF work without cutting carbs? How do I deal with a weight stall? Can you do LCHF without a gallbladder? How can I curtail binging when my window opens? Do I lose protein status/muscle while fasting? Does LCHF help both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics? I hope you learn a lot!

My son Hunter was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2016, and was very ill for almost 3 years. We tried everything to heal him, from supplements, to restrictive diets, to conventional medications, to metal chelation, to infusion treatments, to steroids. We had to seek treatment for him outside of the conventional system to finally find healing. Listen to Hunter's story, which starts with helplessness and hopelessness, and ends in hope, strength, and triumph. The protocol that I used to heal him can be found at www.humanpara.org. Join the Facebook Group Human Para to find support regarding the antibiotic treatment that healed Hunter. We worked with Dr. Thomas Borody's Centre For Digestive Diseases in Australia and will be forever grateful for his research regarding IBD. https://centrefordigestivediseases.com/ The Facebook Group SCD Families is the other group mentioned in this episode that was instrumental in providing support and education regarding children battling Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Our integrative doctor, Dr. Lynn K. Wagner was open minded enough to look at the current research and provide the necessary treatments to heal Hunter. We love her approach to medicine and healing. https://www.lynnkwagner.com/ FOLLOW ME ON: Instagram: @shana.hussin.rdn Facebook: Fast To Heal With Shana Hussin Website: https://www.fasttoheal.info/ ADDITIONAL LINKS: BE ON THE PODCAST by emailing support@fasttoheal.info and sharing your story of how Fast to Heal Services have changed your life!

Grant Belvin has a masters degree in Kinesiology. Throughout the years he has tried many nutritional approaches to find natural healing and an increased quality of life. After struggling to find the benefits from intermittent fasting several years ago, Grant contacted Shana for her recommendations and a detailed protocol, and decided to try IF one more time. He knew there was something he was missing! His success the second time around was obvious! He lost weight, inches off his waist circumference, and simplified his diet. He also found greater energy, better sleep and a lower grocery bill! Grant realized he couldn't snack his way through his eating window, and had to focus on foods that would provide fullness and satiety. He was able to accomplish that with Shana's help.
