In today’s episode, I discuss the science behind intermittent fasting and fasting-mimicking diets, also known as FMDs.
Do these two techniques achieve the same benefits? Is one better than the other? What does the science say, and what are the practical factors that impact choosing one or the other?
With intermittent fasting becoming more popular among healthcare practitioners, and with the availability of packaged fasting-mimicking diets, it’s time to evaluate these two eating regimens, both from an objective and subjective perspective.
This episode is a break from our interview-style — I’ll take the mic for the whole show. But don’t worry. We’ll be back to our usual interview format in the next episode!
