Intermittent Fasting

What is intermittent fasting? Simply put, intermittent ​fasting, or IF, means having a consistent daily schedule ​of fasting and feeding, with health goals in mind (more ​on that below!). A simple beginner fasting window ​might last 12 hours, and you will often see that written as ​a 12-12 fasting schedule: 12 hours of eating, and 12 hours ​of fasting.

As you want to make more signifcant changes, you may ​choose to widen your fasting window and move towards ​a 16-8 schedule. Our 7-Day Fresh Start is set up to be a ​supported 16 hour fast with an 8 hour eating window.

Longer Fasts

Depending on your goals, some people choose to ​practice longer fasts occassionally-24 hours, 36 hours, or ​even longer. You will want to consult with your doctor if ​you decide to move in this direction.

Benefits of Fasting

• WEIGHT MANAGEMENT:: By limiting your eating window, you will naturally consume ​less calories.
• IMPROVED METABOLISM:: It can boost your metabolic rate, helping you burn more ​calories.
  
• ENHANCED BRAIN FUNCTION: Studies suggest that fasting may improve brain health ​and increase the growth of new neurons.
  
• LONGEVITY: Some research indicates that intermittent fasting could help you live ​longer by promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation.
  
• ADRENAL HEALTH: It can help regulate cortisol levels, which supports adrenal health ​and can reduce stress.
  
• GUT HEALTH: Fasting gives your digestive system a break, which can promote gut ​healing and improve overall digestive health.
  
• HORMONE BALANCE: Fasting can help balance insulin levels, which may improve ​hormone function and sensitivity.
  
• LIVER HEALTH: Fasting promotes autophagy, a process where the body cleans out ​damaged cells, which can improve liver function.
  
• MINDFULNESS: Fasting encourages mindful eating and helps you become more aware ​of hunger cues and eating habits.
  
• REVERSE AGING: Some studies suggest fasting can enhance skin health and reduce ​signs of aging by boosting collagen production and reducing oxidative stress.

Options

But ​what ​about ​my ​workout​...

Rest Week

Because we suggest ​this fast quarterly, it ​may be a good week ​to step back your ​normal workouts and ​focus on gentle ​movement like ​walking and yoga.

Shift the time

If you are struggling ​with working out ​during your fasting ​period, try ​temporarily moving ​your usual workout to ​afternoon or evening, ​when you are better ​fueled.

Try it Out

Working out during ​your fasting period ​can have extra ​benefits, especially if ​you only do fasting ​workouts one week a ​quarter. Try it and ​see how you feel!

“I loved the 7 Day Refresh! ​Perfect kickstart to my ​existing healthy living ​journey. I noticed I was ​waking up earlier with no ​brain fog. Super focused.

The Matcha tea is so ​delicious, unlike any other ​one I’ve tried. My husband ​and I will definitely do this ​seasonally while ​incorporating some of these ​products daily.”

“During the week, we started ​to feel more energetic, even ​during our fasted workouts. ​My husband lost 7 pounds in ​7 days. I lost 3, but I felt ​stronger and better in my ​skin. We will do this ​program monthly.”

-Molly and Mark

“So many things I noticed: I ​woke up every morning with a ​flatter tummy, more ​energized, and I realized I ​don’t have to eat after ​dinner...I felt this really gave ​my body the reset it needed to ​look and feel my best.”
