In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling challenge conventional wisdom about salt intake during fasting, revealing why proper electrolyte balance is crucial for fasting success. They explain how fasting and low-carb diets naturally flush out sodium, leading to symptoms many mistakenly attribute to "keto flu" or fasting difficulties—headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle cramps—which are actually signs of electrolyte depletion. The hosts share surprising research showing that moderate salt intake (4-6g daily) is associated with longer lifespans and lower mortality rates, contrary to traditional medical advice. They offer practical guidance on choosing mineral-rich salt sources like Redmond's Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt versus refined table salt, and provide specific strategies for maintaining proper hydration during fasting. Whether you're struggling with fasting consistency or experiencing energy dips during extended fasts, this episode provides the science-backed solutions to optimize your fasting experience through proper salt intake.

In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.

29 April 2025, 5:00 am - 35 minutes 49 secondsEp. 278 - Q&A: Weight Loss Plateaus | Mental Clarity During Fasting | Electrolytes | Coffee Additions | Late Night Eating | Menopause | New Fasting Persona Quiz!
In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle common fasting questions from their listeners. They address the frustration of weight loss plateaus, explaining why blood sugar improvements are more important markers of progress than scale movement, especially during periods of high ketosis when healing happens beneath the surface. The hosts explore the powerful neurological benefits of fasting, including improved mental clarity, focus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor production that supports cognitive function. They provide practical guidance on electrolyte supplementation during fasting, clarify coffee additions (and when a little cream might be acceptable), and explain why shifting eating windows earlier in the day is particularly beneficial, especially for those in menopause who face additional hormonal challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize consistency over perfection and provide actionable strategies for adapting fasting to individual needs and circumstances.

22 April 2025, 5:00 am - 44 minutes 9 secondsEp. 277 - New Research: 4:3 Fasting Schedule Outperforms Daily Calorie Restriction - 12 Month Outcomes | Better Weight Loss & Less Binge Eating | Key Study Results | Improved Body Composition
In this evidence-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze a brand-new clinical trial comparing 4:3 intermittent fasting versus daily caloric restriction over 12 months. The hosts break down the surprising finding that intermittent fasting participants lost significantly more weight (17 pounds vs 11 pounds) while experiencing a dramatic improvement in their relationship with food, shown by a remarkable two-point reduction in binge eating scores compared to almost no change in the calorie restriction group. They explain why fasting showed better long-term adherence (only 19% dropout rate versus 30% in the calorie counting group) despite both approaches creating the same weekly calorie deficit. The episode highlights how the fasting group was nearly 2.5 times more likely to achieve clinically significant 10% weight loss, and offers practical guidance for adapting this research-backed approach to your own fasting schedule. The hosts also discuss how results might be even better with increased protein intake and resistance training—two factors absent from the original study.

In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore how your body's internal clock dramatically impacts fasting effectiveness and metabolic health. The hosts reveal research showing that identical meals eaten at different times of day produce completely different blood sugar responses—with evening meals causing 17% higher glucose spikes and 20% lower insulin effectiveness. They explain why shifting your eating window earlier in the day can significantly improve weight loss, even without changing your food choices. The episode offers practical strategies for aligning your fasting schedule with your circadian biology, including morning and evening light exposure tips, consistent sleep patterns, and meal timing adjustments that make fasting more effective. Whether you're struggling with a weight loss plateau or looking to optimize your fasting routine, this episode provides actionable steps to harness your body's natural rhythms for better results.

In this practical episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how apple cider vinegar can be a powerful optimizer for your fasting lifestyle. They examine research showing that just two tablespoons of ACV daily helped diabetic patients dramatically lower blood sugar, reduce waist circumference, and improve cholesterol markers without changing their diet. The hosts share their contrasting approaches to incorporating ACV into fasting: Scott uses it to suppress hunger pangs and break emotional food connections during fasting windows. In contrast, Tommy uses it to signal the end of eating periods—like "brushing your teeth" for your fasting timer. They explain how ACV improves fasting results by enhancing insulin sensitivity, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting fat metabolism. They offer listeners a simple yet remarkably effective tool to enhance their fasting results with minimal effort and maximum impact.

In this research-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze groundbreaking findings from a network meta-analysis that evaluates the most effective combinations of fasting styles and exercise types for weight loss. The study's surprising conclusion reveals that alternate-day fasting paired with moderate-intensity continuous training significantly outperforms other approaches, scoring an impressive 88% effectiveness for weight loss and 93% for fat mass reduction. The hosts break down why this combination works so well—explaining how it enhances metabolic flexibility, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes sustainable fat oxidation—while debunking common misconceptions about needing high-intensity workouts for optimal results. They provide practical guidance for implementing these evidence-based strategies, emphasizing that consistent moderate exercise (like zone 2 training) combined with strategic longer fasting windows delivers superior outcomes with better long-term adherence than traditional approaches. Whether you're just starting your fasting journey or looking to optimize your current routine, this episode offers clear, actionable insights backed by the latest scientific research.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore research that challenges conventional eating patterns, revealing how shifting calories to earlier in the day can dramatically improve weight loss results. The hosts break down a study showing women who consumed their largest meal at breakfast rather than dinner lost 2.5 times more weight while experiencing significantly better insulin sensitivity, reduced hunger, and improved triglyceride levels. They explain how our bodies process the same calories differently throughout the day due to circadian biology, which explains why evening-heavy eating patterns often lead to frustrating weight loss plateaus despite caloric restriction. This episode offers practical strategies for adapting your fasting schedule to leverage these biological advantages, including alternatives to the popular but less effective dinner-focused OMAD approach, providing listeners with actionable ways to improve their fasting results without increasing hunger or complication.
