Summary

Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s powerful episode, Chantel sits down with functional medicine expert Maggie Berghoff to unpack the truth about intermittent fasting, adrenal fatigue, and the real root of fatigue and brain fog. Maggie shares when fasting can be transformative for energy and aging—and when it's time to pause and nourish instead. They dive into how chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, and your unique metabolic profile can impact your energy levels and thyroid health. Plus, Maggie reveals the top tests she uses to uncover hidden imbalances, including NutriVal panels and food intolerance testing. You’ll learn about the role of ATP in your body’s energy production, how your mitochondria function under stress, and why a one-size-fits-all fasting window doesn’t work for everyone. This episode is packed with actionable tips on healing from the inside out, especially if you’re dealing with burnout, autoimmunity, or chronic fatigue. Whether you’re deep into your fasting journey or just getting started, Maggie’s insights will help you create a sustainable, personalized wellness plan. 📚 Learn more about Maggie: https://www.maggieberghoff.com/📘 Grab Chantel’s books: https://chantelrayway.com🎉 Join our Facebook Group for giveaways: Intermittent Fasting and OMAD📩 Have a question?
