When Surgery Isn’t Enough: Coach Jill’s Path to True Wellness

When Surgery Isn’t Enough: Coach Jill’s Path to True Wellness

Episode #215

In this episode, Megan chats with Coach Jill McMurrey about her journey from weight-loss surgery to true metabolic healing—and the role fasting played in transforming her health.

Jill shares her experience with gastric band surgery, how it helped her shed pounds initially, but failed to address the deeper metabolic dysfunction beneath the surface. After adopting a ketogenic diet, Jill discovered fasting as a game-changing tool to support her long-term health and weight loss.

Together, Megan and Jill explore:

  • Why weight-loss surgery isn’t a complete solution
  • How fasting can support metabolic recovery post-surgery
  • The mindset shifts and strategies needed for lasting success
  • The launch of The Fasting Method’s Accountability Coaching Program—and how it helps clients stay consistent, motivated, and supported

💡 From client to COO and TFM Accountability Coach, Jill’s story is proof that real change happens when you combine the right tools with meaningful support.

Episode #95 (#26)                                                                                                    SUMMER BREAK Megan, Nadia, and Terri are taking a summer break during August but didn't want to leave you without something to listen to so they have chosen some great episodes to replay.                                                                                              In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Does fasting for fat loss still require a caloric deficit? [01:08] 2. I've had success eating keto (traditional) with IF, and I've had success with a vegan diet (not keto) until I started relying too much on carbs like beans, rice, and potatoes. Do you think a vegan keto diet is a realistic way to eat while incorporating IF? [09:01] 3. I’ve heard a few acronyms that I don’t recognize: PCOS, CGM and IBS (although IBS is more common and not specific to fasting). For those used to fasting and the TFM Community discussions, these are common terms. However, I believe that those not versed would be left wondering about them and possibly looking them up. I know I had to look up PCOS when I first heard it. [13:56]  4. I’m confused about which cooking oils are inflammatory and why. Can you please address this?
