Tiffany is a project manager for cancer research educational programming specific to cancer immunotherapy. Tiffany shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which she began in January 2023. She was motivated by a desire to feel better in her body without the constant need for intense exercise. Tiffany discusses her lifelong struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, diagnosed at age seven, and how traditional medications with severe side effects led her to explore more holistic approaches. Through fasting, she has experienced significant improvements in her health, including reduced inflammation and fatigue, and a newfound sense of comfort in her own skin.
Tiffany emphasizes the importance of real, whole foods and the impact of diet on overall well-being. She recounts her experiences growing up in a community that valued food as medicine and how this shaped her approach to health. Tiffany also highlights the emotional aspects of eating and how fasting has helped her establish healthier boundaries with food. She shares her active lifestyle, including hiking and daily exercise, and the benefits of metabolic flexibility gained through fasting.
Takeaways:
• Clean fasting can significantly improve energy levels.
• Transformative health changes can happen at any age.
• Personal struggles with health can lead to profound insights.
• The journey to better health often starts with small changes.
• Feeling amazing is possible after years of struggle.
The episode concludes with Tiffany's advice for those new to intermittent fasting: be patient, focus on health beyond weight loss, and embrace the journey of self-discovery and wellness.
