Fasting is something that has hit the headlines in recent years as people have engaged in various forms of it for health reasons.

But fasting is actually something humans have done for thousands of years.

In this episode I explore the scientfically proven benefits of fasting, from blood sugar regulation, its ability to fend of chronic diseases and even how it can extend lifespan.

Plus we highlight the role of fasting, in a world where eating disorders are real and can be very damaging.
