Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Fasting With a Low BMI, Healing PCOS, Night Shifts, and More.

Episode #199

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

  1. I’ve heard Dr Fung mention that he doesn’t recommend fasting for people with a BMI under 20. My BMI is under 20. I’ve recently lowered my A1C from 6.2 to 5.5 but would like to lower it further or at least maintain it. Would IF or OMAD be OK to do? (Beth from North Carolina) [01:40]
  2. I have been doing some therapeutic fasting to address my PCOS and hopefully get my period back. Do you have any recommendations for a preconception plan for fasting and nutrition? Is there anything else I should be doing before TTC? How will I know when my body is healthy enough? [10:12]
  3. Can you wreck your thyroid by fasting too much? Or is this not true and you can heal it with fasting? Mine was subclinical hypo but returned to normal when I stopped fasting, without meds. I am back to ADF now because I love fasting so much! (Miggy from The Netherlands) [20:46]
  4. I’ve been on a night shift schedule at the hospital for the last 30 years working 7pm to 7am. I’d love to know the ins and outs of how to stay as healthy as possible on nights and the best way to fast with that schedule. (Suzy from South Carolina) [26:37]
