Thanks for your encouragement, Gin! Getting the word out feels like a slow process but it's so worth it.

Couldn’t agree more Leslie. The food industry is ruining our health and then we have to pay for medicine to mask the actual causes of the problem, our food! After doing lots and lots of research and testing intermittent fasting I know for sure that Fasting works, it’s free and has given me back my Freedom. I read Gin Stephens books and heard your story on Gin’s podcast - so many relatable things you mentioned, one of the most poignant is how if our parents had known what to do they would have done it and they would still be here. I thank you for writing your articles, I just wish more people knew the truth about our food, fasting and people like Jason Fung who has proven with his clinics that changing what you eat and fasting can cure type2 diabetes. Keep up the crusade there’s lots of us who agree with you.

I'm also happy to report that my wife and I, both in our sixties, take ONE daily medicine between us. I can't imagine where we would be without the knowledge of carbs vs. fats/proteins, seed oils, fasting and feasting rightly. Very grateful for the information shared regularly on this site.

One medication between the two of you is fantastic!

An in-law’s sister just lost a lot of weight and revealed she’s been taking Ozempic. It happened quickly and now she’s considering cosmetic surgery for her face. These drugs may work temporary miracles but they don’t teach you what and when to eat. I eat one or two meals a day but I had to learn what my body needs to function - meat, eggs, water...not a Cliff Bar, not cold processed cereal or a bagel. These drugs are disastrous and we will see them mentioned on TV attorney adverts in a few years.

The first article I read of yours changed my fasting trajectory. Thank you! I love your content. It was the article about longer therapeutic fasts (42 hours). I had tried ADF but was only doing 34-36 max. 42 is my sweet spot right now. I feel great and fasting is actually a little easier... plus the scale is moving!

Julie, that is so exciting to hear. Getting those extra 6 or 8 hours in can really be what the body needs. I'm so glad that it's working for you. Keep me updated on your progress!

Spot on Leslie! Thank you for spreading the information that is so empowering for women. We have been taken advantage of far too long from the greedy diet, food and healthcare industries.
