Weight Loss (Fasting)

Fasting has become popular enough to be recommended for nearly everything. It does have real therapeutic uses, though it is not for everyone, and that distinction matters.

What it can offer

Giving the digestive system a true rest can improve insulin sensitivity and support cellular repair. For some people it also gently interrupts a constant-snacking pattern that has been driving blood sugar up and down all day.

When I am more cautious

• Diabetes, or medication that lowers blood sugar
• A history of disordered eating
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Adrenal fatigue, or already feeling depleted
• Being underweight or recovering from illness

Doing it well

If fasting suits you, we build up gradually rather than beginning with anything long. We choose the approach together, plan what you eat either side, and watch how you respond — particularly if you take medication.

What matters more

Fasting is one tool, not a plan. What you eat the rest of the time, how you sleep, and how your hormones behave will shape your results far more.

Not sure whether fasting is right for you? That is exactly the question to bring to a consultation.
