Episode #47  In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. What are your favourite NSV (non-scale victories)v? [06:24] 2. Besides improving my body composition, I'm also very interested in the autophagy aspect of fasting. Especially with the skin, could you guys dive a little into this topic? [18:12] 3. When I fast, I always get bad headaches on the second and third days. I know that one possible cause for the headaches is electrolyte imbalance from fasting. I started taking electrolyte drink mixes, but the headaches do not seem to improve. Am I not taking enough? What other factors, if any, could cause the fasting headaches and what could I do to fix this? [23:35]  4. I am hoping that you can explain inflammation to me and how fasting decreases the amount of inflammation in the body? [29:09]  Have questions you want us to answer?
