Fasting.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a powerful tool in the quest for improved health, weight management, and enhanced longevity. Rooted in science and championed by leading health experts such as Peter Attia and Shawn Baker, IF offers a flexible approach to eating that can be tailored to meet individual needs and goals.

​

Research indicates that IF, especially when combined with resistance training, can help maintain lean body mass (LBM) while promoting fat loss, making it a particularly appealing option for those looking to improve body composition without sacrificing muscle. This is crucial for individuals with a lean physique and a good body fat percentage who might be concerned about muscle loss with prolonged fasting periods.

 

Conversely, for those carrying excess weight, longer fasting windows can accelerate fat loss, tapping into stored fat reserves while sparing muscle, provided that nutritional needs are met and physical activity, particularly resistance exercises, is maintained.

​

Incorporating the wisdom of pioneers in the field, like Peter Attia, known for his deep dives into metabolic health, and Shawn Baker, a proponent of the carnivore diet and its synergy with fasting practices, our approach to fasting is not one-size-fits-all. It is a nuanced, science-backed strategy aimed at optimizing health, enhancing longevity, and achieving sustainable weight management.

​

By embracing intermittent fasting, informed by cutting-edge research and the experiences of leading experts, individuals can navigate their health journey with confidence, achieving their goals in a way that supports both metabolic health and muscle preservation.
