Shannon Gardner and Cherie Krohn

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to two sisters: Shannon Gardner and Cherie Krohn. These sisters do everything together, including fasting.

Are you looking for intermittent fasting support in a cozy community that celebrates the clean fast? Join us on the Delay, Don’t Deny Social Network! Instead of relying on the big social network most of us have been on for years, we now have a community that is completely separate and just for us, with a variety of groups you can join for the support and community you need.

You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she’ll answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group, and both Gin and the other group members will walk virtually beside you each day of your FAST Start.

Members of the DDD Social Network have access to all episodes of Intermittent Fasting Stories streaming within the DDDSN platform, ad-free! That’s just one reason to join.

Visit dddsocialnetwork.com to join our membership community. An annual membership is $59.95. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for $9.99 a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.

IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at dddsocialnetwork.com.

Shannon and Cherie help run their family's surf shop, Inner Light. They started dieting together, beginning in high school, and tried countless plans over the years.

In May of 2019, Cherie decided to pray and fast once a week for a relative. A month later, she had lost weight, and knew there was something to fasting. She shared this with Shannon, and after some research, she found the IF Stories podcast. They both began IF in June of 2019. Two years later, Shannon has lost 60 pounds, going from 220 pounds to 150 pounds. Cherie has lost 30 pounds, going from 170 pounds to 130 pounds.

Cherie's knee pain and aches have disappeared. Shannon's plantar fasciitis and headaches are completely gone, and they both have a great deal of energy.

The advice they'd give to new IFers: Cherie says, "Consistency is key. Fast every day. Use an app. It gets easy." Shannon says,"Keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate it. One day, one fast at a time."
