Ep. 269 - Which Fasting Method Works Best? | New Research on Alternate Day vs Daily Fasting | Metabolic Health Benefits | Scientific Evidence for Long-Term Success | Choosing Your Ideal Fasting Protocol

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling look at what science tells us about which type of fasting works best, diving into research that followed almost 10,000 people across 153 different studies. They share some exciting findings - like how alternate day fasting came out on top 82% of the time when measuring things like weight loss and blood sugar improvements. Plus, they unpack why people stick with fasting more often (up to 98% of the time!) compared to regular dieting (only 62-78%). The hosts break down what these numbers mean for everyday people trying to improve their health, and help listeners figure out which fasting approach might work best for their own lifestyle and goals. Whether you're new to fasting or looking to fine-tune your approach, this episode offers clear, science-backed guidance without getting too technical.
