REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals the truth about how bad sleep is secretly sabotaging your weight loss, even when you're doing everything else right. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep. When you don't get enough quality sleep, your body basically fights against you - making it way harder to burn fat and much easier to store it, especially around your belly. You'll discover why people who get 7+ hours of good sleep have a huge advantage when it comes to losing weight, and how even one terrible night of sleep can mess with your body's ability to handle food properly. The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you. But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals. If you've been stuck at a weight loss plateau despite doing intermittent fasting and everything else "right," your sleep might be the missing piece. This episode gives you the exact steps to turn sleep into your secret weight loss weapon. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

    ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 25th, 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! This episode reveals how fasting literally shrinks fat cells by keeping insulin low, with Dr. Scott and Tommy breaking down the science behind why 95% of diets fail but fasting succeeds long-term. Discover how consistent fasting can boost your metabolic rate by 300 calories per day - that's 2,100 extra calories burned weekly without additional exercise. Learn the crucial difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat storage, why fructose from drinks creates dangerous belly fat, and how overfilled fat cells become metabolically active troublemakers that block satiety signals. The hosts share why protein must be your priority during eating windows (aim for 40% of your intake), when to shift your eating window earlier in the day for better insulin sensitivity, and how to avoid the "breakfast blunder" that keeps you hungry all day. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and want a sustainable approach that works with your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms, this episode provides the insulin-focused strategy for lasting results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

    ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 25th, 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! This episode dives deep into why blood sugar spikes can sabotage your fasting success and make it nearly impossible to close your eating window. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain the "glucose management zone" concept - treating every eating window as an opportunity to control blood sugar volatility rather than create metabolic chaos. Learn why that post-meal energy crash leads to late-night cravings that break your fasts, and discover simple strategies like apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, and meal sequencing that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%. If you struggle with hunger between meals, can't seem to close your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts due to cravings, this episode provides the blood sugar management tools to make fasting feel effortless and sustainable. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

I really like this podcast I came to it about half way through my fasting journey. I started at 85kg in April 2024 and currently in August at 68.6kg still a way to go but do not find it hard to do. I am clean fasting and have never really eaten too many hyperprocessed foods. My why has changed from just weight loss to trying to get off my high blood pressure meds. I got my doctor to reduce them last visit and get my bloods done and I have kept monitoring my bp and all is good. The only thing is tge bloods came back and my Cholesterol is high and they want to put me on a statin. No really happy about that and am not going to go on it but how long before I dare get my bloods done again to be sure of it going down. Thank you for your Fab podcast I really love it. So thank you again from the not so sunny West of Ireland.

I’m starting out on my fasting journey, I’ve been going since Christmas. This podcast helps keep me going! Although when I’m hormonal, my appetite is insane making fasting almost impossible. At least the days where I don’t hit my fasting targets I can listen to a podcast and start the next day as new.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
