Fasting Insights
Fasting can be a double-edged sword; while it offers potential health benefits, overdoing it can lead to hormonal imbalances and muscle loss, especially in older adults. Striking the right balance is crucial to avoid the catabolic effects that can result from prolonged fasting. Additionally, for those with specific health conditions, like hypothyroidism, alternative methods to stimulate autophagy without compromising metabolism may be necessary.In this clip

How much time can a woman do intermittent fasting before it becomes detrimental in the episodes Cellular Healing | Mercury Poisoning, Mold Toxicity, and the Silent Killers with Dr. Daniel Pompa and Fasting and Endocrine Health?
I'm struggling with all the conflicting information about fasting right now. I've heard several podcasts talk about women in middle age not doing fasted workouts in the morning or fasting until later in the day. I had lost 35 lbs a few years ago with afternoon eating windows of around 4-5 hours, but this past 6 months, I gained 20 lbs over the holidays and just can't get it off. I know I have a lot of hormonal issues right now, so what worked before isn't working now. I'm planning to try opening my eating windows earlier in the day with protein and ending them by early afternoon, aiming to stretch the eating time to 6-8 hours to get more protein in. I'm hoping this will help. I'm afraid I might eat too much with a longer window, but adding more protein should help. I also try to get most of my protein from food, but it's hard, and I will probably need to add some protein or collagen powder to my meals to hit my goals on a lot of days. Is this approach reasonable?
