Hello, I'm Dr. Scott Watier.

And I'm Tommy Welling, and you're listening to the fasting for life podcast.

This podcast is about using fasting as a tool to regain your health,

achieve ultimate wellness, and live the life you truly deserve.

Each episode is a short conversation on a single topic with immediate actionable steps.

We cover everything from fat loss and health and wellness to the science of lifestyle design.

We started fasting for life because of how fasting has transformed our lives and we hope to share the tools that we have learned along the way. Hey everyone, welcome to the fasting for life podcast. My is Dr Scott Wadier and I'm here as always

I'm a good friend and colleague Tommy Welling happy almost new year to you sir how are you

I'm doing well. Yeah happy almost new Year to you too. How are you?
