Spoiler: it’s probably not the miracle method you’ve been promised, but that doesn’t mean it has no place.We’ll look at the nuance, cut through the noise, and give you the clarity you need to decide if fasting fits your life.✨ Curious about how to build a sustainable nutrition routine that actually works for your body and lifestyle?
