224: Mike Mutzel on Intermittent Fasting, Meal Timing, and How Mindset Affects Your Health

Today I'm chatting with Mike Mutzel from HighIntensityHealth.com and host of High Intensity Health Podcast. Mike Mutzel, MS has an undergraduate degree in Biology from Western Washington University, a Masters Degree in Human Clinical Nutrition from University of Bridgeport, and is the author of Belly Fat Effect. He makes videos and podcasts to help everyday people around the world learn how to stay lean and metabolically healthy. 

In this episode, Mike shares more about how he became interested in fasting, how you can think your way into illness, and the importance of mindset when it comes to health. He also discusses the benefits of fasting, why he prefers time restricted feeding, why meal timing matters, the different types of fasts you can do, and who shouldn't fast. We talk about intermittent fasting for women in their reproductive years, how fasting affects the microbiome, what breaks a fast, optimizing your circadian rhythm, and much more.
