Episode notes
Senior Mobility Restored By Fasting
- Sheri's 75-year-old mother started fasting and within 12 weeks regained mobility and reduced knee pain.
- She reached ~5,600 steps in a day and stopped receiving fall-risk alerts on her step app.
Check Drinks For Hidden Fast Breakers
- Inspect all beverages to ensure they are truly clean fasts: plain black coffee, plain black or green tea only.
- Avoid matcha, flavored or herbal teas, and any drinks with hidden additives that may break a fast.
Expect Weight Masking During Strength Gains
- When adding heavy lifting, expect temporary scale increases from muscle inflammation and retention.
- Use body composition measures, not only the scale, to track fat loss and muscle gain.
