Welcome everyone to today's episode of the Lindsay Elmore show.

For some people, the idea of fasting by eating only one or two meals a day sounds like an extreme

and overly restricted dieting tactic.

But many of us feel like we are already victims of our daily eating schedule, three meals a day, plus snacks, eat every few hours, we're told by experts.

This fixed eating schedule of breakfast, lunch, and dinner has become the norm when it is, fact artificially constructed and it's a schedule

that doesn't reflect our body's natural and most optimal eating schedule. In fact, eating three

meals a day can cause metabolic inflexibility, which can easily lead to inflammation,

weight gain, fatigue, and chronic health problems. For millions of years, our bodies

have actually functioned best when we had periods of fasting. In today's episode, I will be interviewing

bestselling author and functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole. He brings a fresh and new

approach to fasting that will give us the ability to take control of our hunger

and make intermittent fasting intuitive.

Instead of feeling restrictive, you'll get in touch with your instinctive eating patterns

and become healthier and more mindful about how to eat and when to eat. When your

body is out of balance, it can be very difficult to discern these signals. And instead,

what we need to learn is how to build vibrant wellness. In his new book, Intuitive Fasting, you will find a pathway to

metabolic flexibility. And once you've reached metabolic flexibility, you learn how you can

intuitively trust your body to function at its optimal capacity, whether you've

eaten six minutes ago or six hours ago. Let's get to the show. Welcome to the Lindsay
