Today Alex and Biondo and I rap about intermittent fasting, bi-annual detoxing, and why these methods are so important in keeping us healthy, clear, and vibrant.  Intermittent fasting, a tool historically rooted in ancient wisdom traditions, orients us towards biological efficiencies by taking the stress and overload of food off our metaphorical plate.  It allows us to have more time to process food, emotions, and experiences and gives our bodies a slower, cleaner burn. Learn to use your body as a science experiment. Play with intermittent fasting and detoxing to allow yourself a break from eating and see how much clearer, lighter, more productive, energized and nourished you feel.

I rap with Alex Biondo about intermittent fasting:

• Meal spacing and eating to maximize our bodies efficiencies
• Who will benefit from intermittent fasting?
• Fat metabolism and storing excess fat
• Detoxing twice a year to uplevel your physiology

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• How efficiently is your system functioning?
• Why does not eating for 16 hours a day awaken our physiology?
• What is gray fat and why is it good for us?
• Why should we detox our bodies and minds every year?
