Corinne shares her transformative journey with intermittent fasting, detailing her struggles with childhood trauma, anorexia, and the impact of family dynamics on her eating habits. She discusses her path to healing through therapy, the significant weight loss she achieved, and the non-scale victories that have improved her health. Corrine emphasizes the importance of emotional healing and self-acceptance, encouraging others to embrace flexibility in their fasting journey.

Takeaways:

• Corrine started intermittent fasting on July 18th, 2024.

• She was borderline type two diabetic before starting her journey but now has a normal A1C.

• Childhood chaos and control issues led to her early struggles with anorexia.

• Family influence played a significant role in her eating habits.

• Stepping away from legalism in food choices has been crucial for her.

• Dealing with loss and grief has shaped her journey.

• Therapy has been a vital part of her healing process.

• Intermittent fasting has provided her with freedom and mental clarity.

• She lost 60 pounds and improved her health significantly.

At the end of the episode, Corinne encourages listeners to start with the clean fast, and also to not overlook the issues that brought you to overeating in the first place.
