The Future of Fasting and Life After Facebook | Gin Stephens

Author: Marty Kendall November 4, 2021 Duration: 1:13:57

Gin Stephens, author of Delay Don't Deny and Fast Feast Repeat, has been a powerhouse in the booming intermittent fasting movement!

It’s also Gin’s support and promotion that has helped Data-Driven Fasting explode the way it has!  I am very grateful to her!

It all started when she had Lori Leeke on her Intermittent Fasting Stories Podcast.  After Lori’s encouragement, I made an appearance on her podcast later on Melanie Avalon’s Biohacking Podcast.  They also said some very kind things about Big Fat Keto Lies on their Intermittent Fasting Podcast.  And the rest is now history.

It was great to have her on to chat about her research for her new book, Clean(ish) and the importance of WHAT to eat (nutrient density) as well as WHEN to eat (intermittent fasting).

We also covered the perils of extended fasting, what she's had to unlearn and what it's like to leave Facebook after nurturing several groups to more than half a million members!
