Not me. The reason is because this episode was originally put together for the benefit

relating many of the questions submitted by some of you following either me or Zero on

social media. Zero was created by Mutual Front of ours and prior

guests of the Found My Fit in his podcast, Kevin Rose, and offers a simple solution for

or longer fasts. If you previously checked out Zero, they've since
