The Science Of Fasting And How To Use It For Your Health with Cynthia Thurlow

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy Earth, Pendulum, and Sunlighten. Fasting is a powerful tool for longevity. Not only does it switch on our anti-aging genes, but it also activates the immune system, repairing damaged DNA and clearing away injured cells. It also promotes metabolic flexibility, mental clarity, and sustainable energy levels. Today, I talk with Cynthia Thurlow about how fasting works, identifying the type of fasting that is best for you, and special considerations for women interested in fasting. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, author of the bestselling book Intermittent Fasting Transformation, a 2x TEDx speaker, with her second talk having more than 14 million views, and the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, a consistent top iTunes podcast in Nutrition. With over 20 years of experience in health and wellness, Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and women’s health and has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, Medium, Entrepreneur, and The Megyn Kelly Show.
