Rachel and her husband run AJ’s Yacht Service in southern Florida, and Rachel also works as a corporate registered nurse. The conversation begins with a glimpse into Rachel's health journey, exploring her long history with weight fluctuations, various diets, and her eventual disillusionment with perpetual dieting. She shares how becoming a mother and reflecting on her energy levels inspired her to prioritize wellness and strength over simply chasing a number on the scale.Rachel recounts her initial exposure to intermittent fasting back in 2017, driven by her husband’s interest, but she admits she wasn’t ready for it at the time, remaining skeptical as a health professional. It wasn’t until 2022, when she was researching anti-aging strategies and holistic wellness, that intermittent fasting resurfaced as a method worth considering. By that point, Rachel had already lost a substantial amount of weight, and her primary motivation for intermittent fasting was its potential for health and longevity rather than weight loss alone. She describes how adopting functional fitness and shifting her mindset led to sustainable changes, allowing her to model a healthy, positive lifestyle for her young daughter.Throughout the episode, Rachel reflects on the importance of mindset, discipline, and personal development, emphasizing that intermittent fasting became part of a broader self-care and self-love journey. She is candid about her ups and downs, including periods of weight regain and her experimentation with alternate daily fasting (ADF). Rachel also highlights the freedom she has gained—freedom from food obsession, food guilt, and diet challenges—by listening to her body and embracing a flexible fasting window, typically from mid-afternoon to early evening. She mentions the numerous non-scale benefits she’s noticed, such as improved sleep, better metabolic health, and increased resilience, and how her approach to nutrition is now much more intuitive and enjoyable.As the episode concludes, Rachel encourages newcomers to intermittent fasting not to adopt an extreme approach from the start. She reminds listeners that the process does not have to be perfect or rigid—starting small and focusing on building belief and understanding is key. Rachel’s final advice is to do your research, engage with supportive communities, and don’t feel pressured to conform to others’ expectations or share your new lifestyle before you’re ready; above all, intermittent fasting is a personal journey, offering sustainable health and true freedom for those who stick with it.Get Gin’s books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Tatsiana shares her unique and humorous entry into intermittent fasting—prompted by wanting to match her stated weight on a life insurance application after a festive Fourth of July. She recounts her quick initial weight loss, how a serendipitous YouTube video introduced her to Gin’s book Fast Feast Repeat, and her realization that a “clean fast” made a difference. Tatsiana describes that, although she never struggled significantly with her weight growing up in Belarus, moving to America exposed her to a drastically different food culture and led to weight fluctuations, especially after having children.Tatsiana reminisces about her childhood in Belarus with seasonal, simple foods, and homemade sweets being the norm. She contrasts this experience with her first exposure to America’s abundance of processed foods and shares how returning home helped her effortlessly lose the weight she’d gained during her stay. The conversation naturally moves to food traditions—like gardening and preserving homegrown vegetables at her family's summer house (dacha)—and reflects on how these habits cultivated appreciation for natural, unprocessed foods. Tatsiana finds it amusing that what was once a necessity is now recognized as the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.Her health journey gained depth when she started to focus on what foods make her feel best and support her long-term well-being. Tatsiana opens up about testing various diet strategies like Whole30, experimenting with plant-based cooking inspired by Dr. Fuhrman, and participating in Zoe’s program to learn more about her body. She shares insights from wearing a continuous glucose monitor, revealing how her body handles sugar and fats, and describes small but significant lifestyle upgrades, such as switching to cleaner water and crowding out processed snacks with vegetables. Tatsiana explains that intermittent fasting, once started for weight loss, gradually led her to a sustainable pattern of eating that emphasizes health and nourishment over dieting.To wrap up, Tatsiana offers encouragement to those just starting out: arm yourself with knowledge and do intermittent fasting the right way—she especially recommends reading Fast Feast Repeat for clear guidance. Tatsiana emphasizes that it’s all about making steady progress with small, lasting changes, not perfection or overnight results. Most importantly, she reminds listeners that this is a lifestyle, not a diet to start and stop, and urges everyone to approach fasting and healthier living one baby step at a time.Get Gin’s books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

I do commend Ms Stephen’s for her hard work in inspiring and supporting intermittent fasting, which has worked well for thousands now and for me too so far. However in her material there is an undertone of competition with other intermittent fasting experts, communities and coaching programs which is distracting. Also there is an attitude that her way is the only way to intermittent fast, when it seems that flexibility is key to adhering to fasting and to tailoring fasting to differing needs, lifestyles, and people’s biologies. Other programs, like The Fasting Method have much more scientific backing (studies referenced in The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung) and use behavioral strategies to help inspire adherence. Also Gin almost always takes over her interviews, gushing about her own experience, detracting from the interviewee’s experience. Sorry but it can be hard to listen to at times. But I do usually take away at least one or two tips from each story, so I grit my teeth and listen.

Inspiring stories but unscientific and annoying
