A little stoic philosophy to support your health journey. I'm going to share a powerful quote from Marcus Aurelius and some further reflections on how our perceptions shape our experience and progress.

We often thing of rules and constraints as limiting. And we don't like limits! But sometimes limits are the greatest ally in making progress. Think of bumper bowling, super guides that really increase the chance of success, especially when starting out.

To me, fasting is like that. Guidelines that keep eating in a functional place.

I recently read "inside the box" by David Epstein. It challenges the idea of always "thinking outside the box." It's full of examples where placing limits is actually what drives the most progress.

"Food for thought"

Come grab a coffee or tea and hang out in fasting space. In this session I chat about so many videos on youtube that are contradictory within themselves or between other videos on a channel. So many times fasting is presented as one thing. People say "do this, not that."

Really I want people to see that fasting is a spectrum and different amounts of it can be right for different people at different times. Very flexible! Not rigid! Intuitive!

If you are a cynic, you read the title as a melancholy reflection on a burnt-out culture. But dial in with me live and I'll read the life in it. "NOTHING" ... is PROFOUND.

The space of fasting is profound. Although nothing, it has the power to dissolve many things. Blood sugar, body fat, stress, confusion. It costs nothing. Asks nothing other than doing the work of doing nothing.

Sincerely,
-Phil Zimmermann, MD

There is a school of thought that says a fasting weight loss path is too stressful. Why would anyone ever do it? People cite scientific studies that show cortisol impacts and suggest that even reinforces that view.

What do you think? For me I find fasting to be the opposite of stressful. It is freedom from having to constantly consume. Freedom from the fear that if I miss even one little meal that something bad is going to happen in my body. It is strength and confidence.

What is stressful to me is trying to lose weight while always having to eat more all the time. That is a stress-inducing paradigm beyond measure.

But that is my view. Come share your's and feel free to disagree! :)

Cravings can hit and it can feel like they come out of nowhere. But they arise from specific places and we are going to dive into them today so that we can unpack, reframe and reprogram them with help from some great thinking from "Atomic Habits."

Wouldn't it be nice if every day was sunny and the breeze was at our back? For better or worse our health path is often filled with "rainy days" just when we think the sun should be shining.

It's fall in Wisconsin and it's raining today. I got the camera out to the lake and stood in the rain. Bringing us some footage of the rainy lake and some wet leaves. The reality of what some may call a "dreary" space can still have it's own beauty if we look for it.

Grab a coffee or tea. Settle in to the gentle sound of a rainy space and lets center our mind on overcoming any obstacle we face.

Today I'm going to share some thoughts about a video with a doctor who says "Stop doing 16:8" and address some of the confusion it causes.

Link to that is here:https://www.youtube.com/live/qQbrb9LGJOU?pp=0gcJCR0AztywvtLAhttps://youtu.be/qQbrb9LGJOU

Honestly, I really like the video and encourage people to watch it. Would love to have a conversation with Thomas DeLauer and/or Dr. Schoeff about it, in the event some internet magic brings it to them.

I am going to suggest this framing is missing some nuance, but I love the broader point of the video that increasing fasting intensity can strongly impact visceral fat. I'm all for it. But saying 16:8 is meaningless is missing nuance.

Most things we do, one way or another, are ultimately efforts to find happiness. Sometimes we make the objective so big that it seems we may never accomplish it and happiness will remain elusive. In short, we can really overthink it.

Think smaller. Happiness is often not some grand accomplishment. It can be as small as a simple cup of coffee in the morning. Let's share one and have a chat!

Fall is a great season to lean into a weight loss path. Change is in the air and on the wind. Often times the first step to change is, ironically, acceptance. Let's dive in.

We should challenge ourselves to rewrite patterns that lead down and unhealthy path and replace them with patterns that lead to excellence. Or perhaps "a little better than average" could be good enough?

One step at a time!

Fasting Space is the opposite of distraction. It is a space for cultivating awareness. A place to center the thinking on the things that truly matter. For weight loss, for health... for the things we value most.
