What you'll learn from this episode:
How intermittent fasting can help you maintain a caloric deficit by shrinking the window of time in which you are consuming calories, and why you should always break your fast with lean protein.
Eat with the sun—why eating with your circadian rhythms appears to be the most effective method of time-restricted eating.
Which stressors help reduce inflammation, bring mental clarity, induce autophagy, and make you stronger—also, the importance of not overstressing your body, and how your body adapts to a stressor, so you need to switch it up from time to time.
How adding MCT oil to your diet can provide the benefit of ketones without actually having to eat a keto diet!
Thomas’ cyclical approach to diet—why he feels best when he cycles in and out of keto, in and out of fasting, and also alternates when his feeding window is.
And so much more!
