Is There Any Evidence That Fasting Causes an Eating Disorder?

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Cynthia Thurlow, NP is an author, speaker, nurse, intermittent fasting guru, health coach, and functional nutritionist who has cared for patients for more than twenty years. She has over 10 million views for her second TEDx talk (Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique). Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and nutritional health, and has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, Medium, Entrepreneur, and The Megyn Kelly Show.

In this discussion, Tro, Brian, and Cynthia talk about the way people ate before the era of processed food, moderating versus eliminating certain foods, the impact of weight stigma on how people negatively perceive intermittent fasting, the difference between disordered eating and fasting, the damage that dietary dogma can have and the importance of staying open-minded, the challenge of doing a low-carb diet as a vegetarian, the idea that “comfort is a cage,” and hormone replacement therapy.
