Hi, everyone. This is a really great episode. I'm excited to share it with you. There was so much to tell you about fasting that actually I just split it up into two parts. This was a fun episode to record, and at times, it got personal. I'd actually been fasting for three days before filming coincidentally, and I was powering through it. But it really was a lot of information. And you'll see. You'll hear a lot of new things. But I had to ask Marissa to go get me some nuts, so I could really keep going. I also show some of my own real-time biometric data, such as blood glucose levels. And I also tackled the big questions for you about fasting. Like, will you lose muscle if you fast, and how to stop that?
