Fasting is not just about weight loss or restricting food. It’s a powerful tool to activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Depending on when and how long you fast, it can trigger incredible benefits like:

-Boosting your immune system

-Fueling your brain

-Burning stubborn fat (yes, even belly fat!)

-Removing potentially harmful cells

-Repairing damaged cells

-Increasing stress resistance

And that’s just the beginning!

In today’s world—with rising healthcare costs, environmental challenges, and a food industry that prioritizes profits over health—it’s more important than ever to take charge of our well-being. And there’s no better way to do that than by harnessing your body’s natural healing abilities.

But how can you incorporate fasting during the holidays? That’s a question many people have asked me recently, so let’s tackle it together.

What Fasting Looks Like
When I talk about fasting, it doesn’t mean going without food for days on end. Instead, fasting is about creating a lifestyle with intentional eating windows. For example, you might have a daily schedule where you finish eating at 7 p.m. and break your fast 13-15 hours later, between 8-10 a.m.

Why is this effective? During your fasting window, your body enters a "rest and repair" state. By slightly lengthening this window, you activate incredible healing benefits like reduced inflammation, increased human growth hormone (HGH) production, fat burning, boosted ketones, and more energy and focus.

A Practical Example
Let’s say you finish eating Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

On Wednesday morning, you break your fast between 8-10 a.m.
When you do break your fast, what you eat matters. A balanced combination of probiotic, prebiotic, polyphenol, and protein-rich foods is key.

Here’s a great option to try:

Plain Greek yogurt

Pumpkin, h**p, or chia seeds

Fresh berries

A sprinkle of cinnamon

Navigating the Holidays with Fasting
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, so flexibility is essential. Here are a few tips:

If you have a holiday brunch, plan your eating window around it by finishing your meals earlier the day before.

If you have multiple events in a day, skip fasting and focus on balance. You can do a longer fast the following day to reset.

Remember that fasting boosts your immune system—a bonus during cold and flu season!

Most importantly, enjoy the holidays. Celebrate with loved ones, savor the special moments, and know that fasting is a tool you can use to support your health, not something that limits your joy.

When you learn to fast—and eat—like a girl, you’re not just honoring your body; you’re empowering yourself to thrive.

I’d love to hear how you plan to incorporate fasting into your holidays. Hit reply and let me know!

Here’s to feeling amazing this season and beyond,

Fasting used to seem impossible to me. I couldn't imagine missing a meal, especially as the concept of several small meals a day had been taught as being best for my health.

But as I've learned more about fasting, understanding how it not only allows the digestive system time to rest and reset, it also triggers some powerful healing mechanisms, including releasing ketones to fuel the brain and body, and autophagy, which is the body's way of getting rid of rogue cells, repair cells, and helps prevent diseases.

Over the last year, as I've deep dived (dove?) into this, I've slowly increased my fasting window and shortened my eating window. I schedule my fasts based on the time of the month so I can support my hormone cycles.

Seeing the benefits increasing month-by-month inspires me to keep going and keep finding my right-balance for fasting and eating.

What questions do you have around fasting? Are you curious about trying it for yourself?

[Time-sensitive - Starting in an hour!!]

Today I’ll be taking a small group on a journey to meet their Future Selves.

Have you done this before? Have you met with your Future You?

It’s pretty powerful, meeting with the version of you who is from a few years in the future... This version of you has had some pretty amazing adventures, successes and has figured out quite a bit.

And your Future You LOVES to serve as your own personal guide, guru and cheerleader.

When you can take some time and sit with your Future You, get a sense of who they are (magnetic, grounded, confident), understand how they think (everything is possible), how they prioritize what’s truly important (living life more fully, doing what you’re here to do), and how they are so incredibly brave and aren’t afraid to ‘fail’ forward… real magic starts happening.

And when you can use this Future You understanding and wisdom to create a plan for your coming months, it’s like you leapfrog over obstacles, and collapse time, creating a plan and strategy that prioritizes your values and your heart’s desires.

If you’ve done work with me in the past, you know this will be a good mix of ‘woo’ - shifting energy and vibration - and practical strategy as you lay down a plan for what Future You advises you to focus on next.

We’ll be doing this together, one step at a time.

Hope to see you there!
