In this follow-up episode, I go deeper into my personal fasting experience. After our first conversation, I opened up about my struggles with weight loss and navigating perimenopause. Laurie challenged me to revisit fasting, and in this episode, I share what happened in the three weeks since our initial chat and the results I experienced. Laurie also guides us through her approach to coaching clients through fasting, using my three-week experience as a case study. We'll reintroduce you to Laurie Lewis and explore how fasting can transform your health journey.
