Hey, it's episode 298 of the keto diet podcast. Today we're chatting about a whole bunch of things in relation to fasting.

We're covering metabolic flexibility, how fasting works with metabolic flexibility and within a ketogenic diet,

hormone imbalances and intuitive eating, how to bring intuitive eating into your protocol when you know that you have a hormone imbalance

because when we have a hormone imbalance, let's say higher estrogen or higher testosterone, our appetite is going to be different and so it's important to understand this.

Eating disorders and whether or not we should be following a fasting protocol, how to take shame and stress out of our fasting protocols,

how to determine which intermittent fasting protocols to go for, whether or not we should be long-term fasting and when, how we want to increase our metabolic flexibility

and why this is important, metabolism is a huge trigger word for 2021. It's got a lot of backing behind it.

So many people are interested in this metabolic flexibility, so we're going to be covering that a whole bunch.

I had to have no rules with your fasting protocol and if this scares you, if this whole concept seems odd to you,

I hope after today's episode you'll feel really inspired to give this a roll or trying to about hunger and habits and behaviors,

how to differentiate between all of the things and when to know if you're hungry or not, it's a good one.
