This episode is featuring Melanie Avalon! We talk all about different aspects of biohacking and being passionate about understanding the science behind optimizing our metabolic health with intermittent fasting, the magic behind low carb and low fat with high protein being constant, making the switch between the two, balancing activating AmpK and mTOR with fasting and high protein, changing out minds on our approaches based on new science, and SO much more! 

Melanie is a SAG-AFTRA actress living in Los Angeles and Atlanta, author "What When Wine Diet: Lose Weight and Feel Great with Paleo-Style Meals, Intermittent Fasting, and Wine," co-host of the top iTunes podcast, The Intermittent Fasting Podcast (IFpodcast.com), and blogger at MelanieAvalon.com. She is represented by Celeste Fine at Sterling Lord Literistic.

Melanie holds a certification in Holistic Nutrition from the AFPA (American Fitness Professionals & Associates), and is qualified as a wine specialist by the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust.) For more from Melanie, check out her blog (MelanieAvalon.com), and youtube channel (youtube.com/c/melanieavalon), where she discusses her thoughts on Paleo, intermittent fasting, wine, holistic health, and the science of diet.

In college, Melanie tried numerous fad diets and calorie counting to lose weight. After discovering the low carb world, she realized there was a science to body fat regulation. (Oh hey!) The subsequent years of self experimentation and research lead to her adoption of intermittent fasting (IF) and paleo protocols. What started as mere weight loss techniques, ultimately became lifestyle changes for health and happiness!

Melanie now follows a paleo, intermittent fasting lifestyle, with a nightly glass of wine! She credits her dietary discoveries for maintaining a camera-ready body in Hollywood, with no restriction whatsoever! Her dream is to encourage healthy weight loss techniques which support vibrant health and vitality!

Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.
