Quick Show Notes – Recast: Megan Ramos on the Benefits of Intermittent Fasting (Metabolic Health Week)

Key Takeaways

• Megan Ramos, director of the Intensive Dietary Management Program, always had a complex relationship with food. Having been diagnosed with fatty liver and polycystic ovarian syndrome in her adolescence, she struggled to manage her health despite attempts at weight loss.
• One day, her friend, Dr. Jason Fung, recommended intermittent fasting, and her diet was never the same.
• There are many ways to fast, says Megan. It’s best to start slow, fast by skipping a   single meal a day, and then gradually increase your fasting intervals.
• Ultimately, the way you fast depends on your body type, your goals and your overall   health.
• Fasting has dramatic benefits supported by robust scientific literature, she says. She   has seen dramatic reversals of chronic conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and   hypothyroidism.
• Urged by their success, Megan Ramos and her partner, Dr. Fung, began to offer online,   subscription-based courses on intermittent fasting. They offered everything from   guides  to one-on-one health coaching, and it has been incredibly successful.
