Kickstarting Your Fitness Journey

Want to know how fasting can boost your health, change how you think about food, and reset your body? In this episode of Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast, Mark Bell, Nsima Inyang, and guest Joseph Everett dive deep into the health benefits of fasting and share why it’s more than just skipping meals.

Learn how fasting lowers IGF-1 levels, improves brain health, and even changes hunger patterns over time. They break down the connection between fasting, physical endurance, and how your food choices impact digestion, inflammation, and long-term energy. Plus, hear thoughts on the carnivore diet, lab-grown meat, and biohacking methods that could redefine your fitness goals.
