About this episode
What should you eat before you fast? The foods you eat impact your satiety and blood sugar levels, making it either much easier to fast (or harder) – depending on what you eat beforehand. Whether you are doing a short intermittent fast, or even something longer (anywhere from 2 to 5 days), there are some key principles that Dr. Jocker advises on to make your fasting experience as positive as possible. Learn about how much proteing you should eat, what fiber is good for you, as well as important information on polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods. Is kombucha a good idea? Tune in to find out! As always, Dr. Jockers does the heavy lifting for us when it comes to research and experience - all we have to do is listen! This episode is for anyone keen on understanding intermittent fasting as well as anyone dealing with inflammation or chronic fatigue and is ready to give fasting a try as a viable solution.
