Welcome to Fit Body Happy Joints. My name is Dr Shannon. I'm a physical therapist, fitness,

fitness, and owner of Evela Fitness. Today we are talking about metabolic health. My guest, Cynthia

Thurlow, is a wealth of knowledge on this topic. We dive into

insulin resistance, how to be more metabolically flexible and what that means. We

talk about fasting and what's really interesting is I loved her take on fasting.

She is a proponent of fasting but she talks about like when to fast, when not to fast.

We talk about fasting around your cycle, fasting if you are non-cycling or if you're

parimenopausal, post-menopausal. And so much more. We talk a lot about insulin resistance,

how to become more insulin sensitive. I just thought this episode was

super dense and interesting. She is a wealth of knowledge. So a little bit about
