About this Podcast:

Intermittent fasting changed my body — and my life. Welcome to The Pause and Fast Podcast, where we talk about intermittent fasting, wellness, mindset, self-care, movement, and the real-life journey of becoming healthier without the extremes. New episodes every week, with a mix of inspiring guests and solo conversations. Sometimes we talk fasting. Sometimes we talk about the things that help us feel better, think differently, and create a healthier relationship with ourselves. I’m always looking for great conversations and people with a story, perspective, or experience worth sharing. If you’d like to be a guest, have a topic you’d love to hear discussed, or just want to connect, reach out! Honest conversations. Practical takeaways. No drama. Just a little more pause.
