Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Hair Thinning, Plateaus, Caffeine Sensitivity, Digestion Speed, and Keto Breath

Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Hair Thinning, Plateaus, Caffeine Sensitivity, Digestion Speed, and Keto Breath

Episode #152

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:

1. I have just started fasting and am struggling to extend my fasts to 36 hours as I have two small children and we eat dinner together every day. Any tips? [01:57]

2. I do IF five days a week, a 36-hour fast and no fasting on the other two days. I feel fantastic and the weight is coming off, However, my hair has recently started thinning. I’ve heard this could be because fasting is a stressor on the body. I also work out 3-4 times a week and have two jobs, one of which is pretty stressful and high pressure. Is the weekly 36-hour fast just too much for me? [07:40]

3. I’ve progressed into a 3x42 protocol over three months and the NSVs and systemic healing has been miraculous! I’ve not seen a weight or body-fat decrease over the last four weeks after a 25-pound loss in the first few months. Is a plateau this long normal? [12:25]

4. Would you recommend leaning heavily into fat fasting when initially trying to establish a pattern of therapeutic fasting? I am finding it easier to do longer fasts (24 hours+) when I fat fast beforehand, but have some concern that maybe this could have long-term implications. It almost seems like ‘dieting’ which will end once the therapeutic level of fasting ends and then I will have to reestablish another eating pattern? [16:16]

5. I quit coffee a few months ago as it was affecting my sleep and I would also experience extreme sugar cravings 1-2 hours after drinking it. Since stopping coffee, I have noticed similar effects with green and black tea plus I also get the jitters and an increased heart rate. Most recently, I have been getting insomnia after eating dark chocolate. Clearly, I am becoming more sensitive to caffeine! Is this common for fasters? Or maybe it is age related? I’m a 43-year-old woman. [20:50]

6. I have been fasting for almost two years (alternate-day fasting). I notice it takes longer for me to digest meals now vs before I started fasting. Is this normal and does this mean it also takes me longer to get into a fasted state now? [24:59]

7. I need help with keto breath/tongue! I’ve tried drinking more water, mouth wash, tongue scrapers, food-grade hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. No change! I makes me gag so much I just want to eat to make it stop! The only thing I haven’t tried is oil pulling. Help! [28:51]

Fasting Q&A: Pre and Probiotics, CGMs, Hormonal Tests, and Fat Fasting vs Extended Fasting

Fasting Q&A: Pre and Probiotics, CGMs, Hormonal Tests, and Fat Fasting vs Extended Fasting

Episode #57  In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Can we take prebiotics and probiotics during extended fasting? [03:07] 2. I’m going to Europe for a few weeks - Italy and France - and want to buy a CGM machine which I know you can get at most pharmacies. Is there a specific brand or type of machine that you recommend? [05:39] 3. Are there any other tests that can be beneficial for women? I’ve been having a lot of problems with my hormones (specifically a low level of testosterone) and I’m tired of going to doctors who seem to do tests and tell me things are, “OK,” without cross referencing hormone levels or taking other tests into consideration. I’m at the point where I want to become my own “doctor” as far as monitoring my glucose and hormone levels. [15:57]  4. Should you fat fast or do extended fasting before holiday events?

Fasting Q&A: Hysterectomy, Vitamins and Pain Meds, Birth Control Pill, and High Altitude and Fasting

Fasting Q&A: Hysterectomy, Vitamins and Pain Meds, Birth Control Pill, and High Altitude and Fasting

Episode #53  In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Last year I had a hysterectomy, but kept my ovaries. At the time, I was in peri-menopause. How will this impact fasting and should I do anything differently? [02:27] 2. Do vitamins or pain-relief tablets break a fast? [08:44] 3. If female hormones are so important for women and help us maintain weight during reproductive age, what do you think about the impact of birth control pills on metabolism? [13:41]  4. We often travel for an extended amount of time to 4000m. I am not sure if fasting 48-72 hrs would put too much stress on the body since high altitude is a big change for the body anyway?
