In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the science of intermittent fasting and how it can be the key to burning fat and balancing blood sugar. He explains why timing your fasting window is more important than restricting calories.

We also touch on why women and men may need different approaches to fasting for optimal results. The strategies shared are practical, simple, and can be tailored to your lifestyle for long-term success.
