Episode Summary: Most women think their high morning blood sugar is from what they ate the night before—or not fasting long enough. But after tracking her own numbers with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), I discovered that the real culprits were much deeper.
In this solo episode, I share how I brought her fasting blood sugar back to normal (hello 70s and 80s!), and what truly made the difference. This episode is for any woman who’s tried “everything” and still feels stuck with stubborn glucose spikes.

Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you’re diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive.
In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you’ll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health.
Don’t feed cancer, hack it!
I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too!

He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain.

Sarah Kleiner is a coach in applied quantum biology and a circadian health expert. Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility. She used a combination of lifestyle and therapeutic interventions including healing from low leptin levels, watching the sunrise and being outside as much as possible, blocking artificial light, eating seasonally, and so much more, to accomplish optimal health. It was such a joy to pick Sarah’s brain on leptin resistance- what it is, how to test for it, and the role it plays in weight loss resistance.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

It's time for a midyear update! 2024 has been the most challenging time of my life, and I explain why in this episode.
There has been a huge silver lining revealed to me in the last couple of weeks! I have had cortisol dysregulation for likely decades, and I wasn't sure what else to implement other than stress mitigation and sound nutrition.
Enter cirdadian health strategies that are mostly FREE! I've been able to restore my cortisol pattern within a few months, despite having the biggest load of emotional stress on my back for well over 6 months. I was able to do this with ZERO supplements.
I explain everything I implemented to bring my cortisol and melatonin patterns back into balance in this episode.
My new course, Cortisol Calm, is coming SOON! I can't wait to teach you step by step how to naturally restore your adrenal health with the fundamental and simple healing techniques.

I have discussed on past episodes much about what to break a longer fast with, and even what to include during your fast, but I haven't talked a lot about what to eat BEFORE a fast.

[1:28]- What exactly does it mean to be in a fast?
[3:38]- What happens when we fast, and which fuel types do we burn through?
[7:02] Why intermittent fasting being villianized?
[11:28] What macronutrients to fuel your body with prior to a therapeutic fast, and why a high-carb approach doesn't make sense
[22:25] Using stored energy and fat for fuel by being metabolically flexible
[24:20] Preparing the body to burn stored body fat and protect lean tissue
[28:43] How to eat to mimic fat metabolism
[30:17] Using electrolytes to stay hydrated during a longer fast

Autophagy! The process of recycling cells, viruses, proteins, etc. that the body no longer needs. Unfortunately, autophagy is commonly misunderstood- it is commonly interpreted as an on-off switch that only occurs in 3+ day fasts. In reality, the science tells us both fasting and exercise encourage this recycling process to occur in the body. Autophagy is incredibly beneficial for the body, so come and understand how and why to get your body to recycle waste products at the cellular level!
[3:24]- What is autophagy?
[6:17]- What are the benefits of autophagy?
[14:18]- How is protein broken down in the body? What is it used for?

In this week's episode, I discuss varieties of eating windows, including whether to fast through breakfast or if you should fast through dinner. While there is no one size fits all, there are cues the body gives us including hormonal fluctuations and circadian rhythms to understand when is best for the body to consume energy and when is time to rest and digest. I also share my personal fasting regimen, and how I created an eating window that works best for me. Tune in!
[3:16]- What is the science saying, fast through breakfast or lunch?
[4:44]- How does fasting through breakfast affect hormonal release and energy levels?
[8:37]- Why should individuals with adrenal fatigue, thyroid or cortisol struggles, and PCOS especially fast through dinner?

Semaglutide peptides stimulate the body to produce the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, GLP-1. GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the body with the purpose of releasing insulin as a response to glucose and suppresses food consumption by slowly emptying the stomach. Recently, Semaglutide peptides have received an immense amount of attention due to their promises of weight loss and blood sugar balancing properties. In this episode, I discuss the scientific studies behind GLP-1 agonist medications and my discernment for my students who are considering Ozempic or Wegovy.
[1:19]- What are Semaglutide peptides?
[6:15]- What are the scientific studies saying about the outcomes of Ozempic?
- My specialty program, Low Insulin Academy, teaches you the lifestyle changes necessary to achieve weight loss and reversal of metabolic illness, the same thing Semaglutide peptides try to do, only using a holistic approach!
[9:53]- What do Semaglutide peptides do in the body?
[14:22]- Who are Semaglutide peptides for?
[22:11]- Why are Semaglutide peptides attractive?
[26:27]- The symptoms those who begin GLP-1 agonist medications should expect.
[30:43]- What is hormone half life? How do the natural and synthetic versions of GLP-1 half life compare?
- The waitlist is open for the fall session of LIA LIVE! You can find more info and get on the waitlist here. There are no obligations to enroll if you are on the waitlist. If you are, you will be provided with a discount code when enrollment opens on September 5, 2023.
[40:08]- Why is a healthy lifestyle far more valuable than weight loss medications or GLP-1 peptides?

Anywhere from intermittent fasting to extended fasts are essential for strong metabolic health, and how to implement them are all explained here! This is good information for all people, but particularly those who feel like they are not seeing the progress they are seeking.
In this episode we discuss:
[4:26]- I will be releasing three FREE and LIVE masterclasses starting January 3, 2023. You can register for Three Weight Loss Secrets You Need to Implement in 2023 here and also participate in a live Q&A with me!

[10:39]- Crescendo Fasting
- Beginner stage to work up from, for those who are on medications, have multiple health issues, or are new to fasting
- Starting with 14 hours of fasting, and a 10 hour eating window, 2-3 days/ week
[13:24]- Intermittent Fasting
- Also known as time restricted eating, almost anyone can do it
- Eating during a certain window on most days
- Popular protocols include 16:8 or 18:6
[21:34]- OMAD: One Meal a Day
- Usually only eating lunch or dinner
- Can help one loose weight for a couple weeks or so, but eventually weight loss stalls and body adjusts
- Instead of doing this everyday, it can be smart to implement it every couple of days
[25:14]- ADF: Alternate Day Fasting
- Alternating fasting days with feast days
- Works great for those with weight loss stalls, since you are constantly keeping your body guessing
- For anyone who has done fasting for a while and is ready for a new challenge, along with those experiencing weight stalls
[31:15]- 5:2 or 4:3
- Eat normally 2-3 meals 5 days/ week, then fasting for two days in a row, eating less than 500 calories each day
- Works particularly well for those who want to change up their fasting regimen or are experiencing weight stalls
[33:34]- The importance of Feast Days, not Cheat Days!
- Good to practice weekly, or at least once/ month
- Let’s the body know you are getting ample nutrition
[34:57]- Extended Fasts
- A fast beyond 36 hours
- 36-42 hours of fasting 2-3 times a week is considered therapeutic fasting
- Best for those with insulin resistance, have a large amount of weight to loss, or reversing chronic illness

Wow, I want to start by saying I am so thankful for all of you, my listeners! I love doing the podcast, releasing new weekly episodes every week, and knowing I have the opportunity to share nutritional advice and wisdom with you. I say all this because nothing has changed; however, I have decided that I need to take a break from the time consuming work podcasting can be. From scheduling guests to preparing questions for interviews to recording and editing the interviews, there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to create an effective podcast episode, and sometimes the work stretches me thin!
The guests I have been able to interview are beyond my wildest dreams, and hearing your success stories makes me so excited to continue the work I have been doing so passionately. While I will be taking a break for the month of December, we will be doing weekly throwback episodes from the100+ previous episodes I have created, so you are still receiving weekly advice on all things relating to reversing insulin resistance!
I want to take this time to focus on the meaning of Christmas and being with my loved ones during the holiday season. I encourage you to do the same during this very busy and crazy time of the year. It is important to prioritize your health and personal wellness so you serve the people around you well, so I hope you will take time this year to reflect and truly be present!
I am already looking forward to being back in January!! Until then, you can find me active on my socials below!
If you are looking for the same Instagram Insurance I use: https://www.get-notch.com/instagram
And just reemphasizing, my highest level course, Finding Nutritional PEACE, will still reopen in January! You can get on the waitlist to receive a discount code here

This week we’re releasing another hot topic episode all about avoiding binge eating when breaking your fast! In today’s podcast I share three tips on how to exercise portion control by not letting yourself go hungry, breaking your fast with a salad or non-starchy vegetables, and the importance of meal order.
Here is what is covered in this week's episode:
[3:55]- The fall session of my 8 week course Finding Nutritional PEACE all about reversing insulin resistance is already half way done! Although I will not be offering this course in 2022 again, you can get on the waitlist for January 2023 when it opens here. If you are on the waitlist, you will be provided with a discount when enrollment opens.
[5:56]- I released a new FREE protein guide! You can access Your Complete Guide to Meeting Protein Targets here!
[7:48]- Tip #1: Do not let yourself get so hungry!
- Exercising an early fasting window may have an advantage
- People tend to more more insulin sensitive in the morning
- Sleep quality may increase when the body is not digesting food as it begins to rest and recover
[12:11]- Tip #2: Break your fast with a salad!
- Non-starchy vegetables also break the fast well
- High fiber foods reduce the glucose response
- Vinegar before a meal helps to decrease blood sugar even further
[15:14]- Tip #3: Meal order is so important!
- Break your fast with a high fiber food or non-starchy vegetables
- Then, protein and fat
- Finally, end meal with scratches or sugar

Kirk Ripplinger lost 100+ pounds with intermittent fasting and carb restriction, but after 1 year of maintenance found himself regaining back some of the weight, which was very disheartening.
Kirk didn't want to succumb to weigh regain after he worked so hard to become meatbolically healthy and able to maintain his weight loss for so long. He decided to get in touch with his practitioner, and together they figured out a new medication was driving his appetite and making it impossibly difficult to fast.
We discuss how Kirk got off-track, steps he took to stop the weight regain, and how he got back on track to become an even healthier version of himself!

In this episode, Shana speaks about what she learned as a registered dietician and how she became a hormone healing expert. Shana reveals some unbelievable things that dieticians recommend to their patients, including canola oil! Then, Shana dives into reversing PCOS and how to navigate insulin resistance through lifestyle changes. Tune in as we chat about intermittent fasting, therapeutic fasting levels, and how many carbs you should be eating.
[01:55] Shana Speaks About Her Journey As A Registered Dietician and Hormone Healing Expert
- Shana is a registered dietician, and she has been in the field for over 20 years.
- As a registered dietician, Shana was dealing with her own health issues. She was bloated all the time and had chronic canker sores.
- Shana’s son got very ill out of the blue. He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
- Ultimately, Shana’s son healed after working with a team from Australia.
- Down the road, Shana tried fasting and found that it fixed her bloating and canker sores.
- Eventually, Shana wrote Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Heal-Achieving-Nutritional-Resistance/dp/B0874JXVP7.
[14:30] It’s Unbelievable: Registered Dieticians Are Recommending Canola Oil!
- When Shana went to school to be a registered dietician, she was taught very little about hormones.
- The only time insulin was talked about was when someone had diabetes.
- Unfortunately, the US Dietary Guidelines are what they are, and that’s what registered dieticians need to teach.
- Hospitals still recommend using canola oil in cooking.
- We need to change the messaging around saturated fats.
[23:55] PCOS Stems From Insulin Resistance and Can Be Reversed
- 80% or more of PCOS stems from insulin resistance.
- PCOS is the number one issue of infertility.
- Most women are told PCOS is something they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
- Luckily, PCOS is something that can be reversed through lifestyle interventions.
[27:55] What To Do If You’re Not Losing Weight While Intermittent Fasting
- Intermittent fasting is a highly individual lifestyle.
- If you start fasting, most likely, you will see some type of progress with it.
- Remember, you don’t want to fast when pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Also, don’t try fasting if you have an active eating disorder.
- Eight hours of eating and sixteen hours of fasting are great ways to start.
- Sometimes, you need to extend your fasts to reverse your disease and start seeing results.
[34:00] Therapeutic Fasting Levels Will Result In A Reversal of Insulin Resistance
- Therapeutic fasting levels work for almost everybody who is stuck or not seeing any progress.
- If you’re ready to get off medications, you have to work with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels.
- It can be a matter of weeks or even days when you’re coming off some high insulin levels.
- Therapeutic fasting is 31 to 42-hour fasts a week.
- The therapeutic level of fasting is where almost everyone will see a reversal of insulin resistance.
[39:50] How Many Carbs Should You Eat? Take The Carb Quiz!
- Carbs can be confusing for most people.
- Shana developed a carb quiz: https://www.fasttoheal.info/carbquiz.
- You want to look at your family history and goals before determining how to incorporate carbs into your diet.
- Shana likes everyone below 100 grams of carbs.
- Remember, everyone handles carbs differently. If you’re thin and work out, you can handle more carbs. Also, men have more storage capacity for carbs.
[45:55] Ketones Are Great For Inflammation and The Reason You Should Consider A Meat-Based Approach
- So many people don’t burn ketones.
- Burning ketones can be anti-inflammatory in general.
- Taking away plant foods for a time period will also be beneficial.
- If you have severe issues, following a meat-based diet can help with health problems.
- Many people think if they are iron deficient, they should eat more kale and spinach. Well, you’re only absorbing 6% of what you’re eating. Plus, it could be causing inflammation.
- It’s tough to know what foods you react to when you’re ill.
[55:45] Advice For Women: Should You Fast During Your Period?
- Day one is when you start your period.
- During your period is when you should incorporate longer fasts.
- The week leading up to your period should not include long fasts.
- The first two weeks of your cycle are the best times for longer fasts.
- If you are post-menopausal, you don’t need to worry as much about when you’re fasting.
AND MUCH MORE!

Olivia Roberge is a third year naturopathic medical student and certified Primal Health Coach who specializes in improving women’s metabolic health for better energy, fewer cravings, and effortless control of their weight and relationship with food. Her passion for this field was ignited with her own health journey, transitioning from struggling to stay awake following conventional nutritional advice, to feeling energized and focused by switching focus to real food and metabolic hormones.
In this episode we discuss Liv's own journey from constant weight gain and low energy levels to appetite regulation and stable energy by adjusting her diet to low-carb real food, which changed her thoughts around food.
We also tap into Liv's experiment with diabetic food protocols and the ensuing results on her continuous glucose monitor.

In 2016 my son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The next 3 years were hellish in trying to get it under control, find the root cause, and keep his life as normal as possible.
In episode 24, I shared with you all the treatments, diets, and protocols we tried and failed. We ended up seeking treatment outside the United States, and Hunter found healing and remission using a antibiotic therapy designed by Australian doctors.
In this episode I update you on his progress, regression, and where he is now. It is his story that ultimately brought me to where I am today.

Show Notes from the Keto Kamp podcast with Ben Azadi:
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Shana Hussin. She grew up in Wisconsin, and earned her dietetics degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1999. While very active throughout her entire lifetime, she struggled with weight gain in college, despite following conventional nutrition recommendations and exercising extensively. It took many years to figure out why she was so much bigger then, but the truth revealed itself when Shana discovered hormonal connections between weight gain, and eventually growing sick and fat.
Shana has worked in the medical nutrition therapy field for 20 years. Like most dietitians, she recommended strategies to her clients for much of her career that failed them long-term, with little sustainable weight loss. This proved to be frustrating to both practitioner and client.
Armed with new knowledge, an open mind, and simple healing concepts, she developed a 5- Step lifestyle improvement program for her clients, resulting in immediate and sustained success. Determined to share correct and effective concepts with as many as she could reach, she started writing.
Shana now serves those wanting to learn her teachings with books, digital products, workshops, group coaching, Facebook support groups, the Fast To Heal Stories podcast, and her popular Finding Nutritional PEACE Online program. To learn more about or to sign up for any of her programs, visit fasttoheal.info.
Shana and her husband have 3 awesome children and live in Kaukauna, WI. When she is able, she loves reading, running, traveling, sitting in the sunshine, walking with friends, and cheering her children on in whatever they are pursuing.
In this episode, Shana opens the show by talking about her son’s ulcerative colitis diagnosis. After months of symptoms, the doctors told Shana to prepare to remove her son’s colon. Luckily, Shana sought help outside of the conventional medical system and healed her son without removing his organs. Then, Shana speaks about when she questioned her traditional training as a dietician. After getting sick, Shana started to heal herself by dialing back carbs, increasing healthy fats, and eating more protein.
Tune in as we chat all about her new book, Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

Some influencers claim women shouldn't fast, or that it is not safe. If this were true, wouldn't we have died out as a species? There are a few things to consider hormonally when women start a fasting or time-restricted eating protocol.
In this podcast I discuss:
- Whether or not women can fast safely
- Considerations for women when fasting
- When to add longer fasts when still menstruating
- When to cycle in higher levels of carbohydrates
- Thyroid and adrenal considerations

Fruit and vegetable intake can be a bit confusing on a low-carb diet! Although I teach therapeutic carb restriction to reverse obesity and lifestyle disease, having a concrete level of fruit and vegetable intake to focus on can be helpful.
In this podcast I discuss:
- Which vegetables to focus on
- How to cycle in higher carb veggies on occasion
- Fruit recommendations
- Detriments of too much fructose

In this episode I discuss:
- Why we should think about lowering carbs to burn body fat
- Which level of carbohydrate is appropriate for you

This isn't really a black or white kind of answer, but I'll do my best!
There are many factors that come into play, and I discuss several. Men do tend to lose weight more quickly in the beginning, but it levels out and over the long haul, women will catch up. Here are other factors to think about:
- Bringing insulin levels down first and foremost
- Women's hormonal fluctuations
- Past "diet" or calorie deficit centered programs and how much weight you have to lose
- Overall nutrition plan and approach

Sugar cravings are very real!
How do you get back on track following a period of higher carb eating, longer eating windows, or falling off track?
In this episode I discuss many strategies to killing sugar cravings and getting back on track:
- Bringing insulin levels down
- Decreasing carbs over time
- Extending fasting times
- Consider a fat fast, which will help decrease insulin, promote fat burning, and help you get back on track!

Today's guest is Darryl Bosshardt of Redmond's Real Salt, and he helps me bust through the myths and misconceptions surrounding salt and sodium.
Where did the sodium guidelines come from?
How do we know if we are getting too much or too little salt in our diets?
How can we find a natural and trusted form of salt?
Should we be salting our foods?
How can we make our own electrolyte drinks?
What about iodine? How do I get enough if I am not taking in iodized salt?
Darryl answers all these questions, plus more!

Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you’re diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive. In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you’ll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health. Don’t feed cancer, hack it! I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too! You can find and work with Martha at https://www.marthatettenborn.com/ Martha's book can be found on Amazon, or at her website.

Miranda Hugghins had reached 321# by the time she graduated high school. Although many of her family members also struggled with obesity and chronic health issues, she knew something needed to change, and it was up to her to change it.
Miranda did a lot of research and implemented the keto lifestyle in 2019, and intermittent fasting shortly after that.
Before Miranda started the keto and IF lifestyle, she suffered from PCOS, pre-diabetes, and obesity. Within 1 week of starting the keto lifestyle, she had her menstrual cycle, and has since reversed her PCOS and pre-diabetes. Take that chronic illness!
Miranda has lost and maintained a 90# weight loss for 2.5 years. She dutifully keeps her carbs low, eats real foods, intermittent fasts almost every day, and adds extended fasts when right for her.
You don't need to suffer from illnesses that run in your family, and you certainly have the choice to live well. Don't miss Miranda's inspirational story!

Cheri Bantilan is a registered dietitian for Nutrisense, and an expert in using continuous glucose monitoring as a tool to see trends in blood glucose, including food response, stress, sleep, and exercise.
This device can be life-changing!
Cheri and I discuss the following:
What is a CGM and what it is used for?
How can a CGM measure metabolic health? Does it tell us more than the scale?
What are the ranges to look for and how can you tell if you react favorably or unfavorably to a certain food?
Can we draw connections between CGM readings, insulin, and weight stalls?
How should we experiment with a CGM?
Can those without diabetes wear a CGM?
How does exercise relate to the readings we see?
How can hormonal changes relating to sleep and stress affect glucose values on the CGM?
How can we obtain a CGM from Nutrisense?

Do you believe you can be healthy at every size?
In this episode of Fast To Heal Stories, I explore the concept of health at every size (HAES). The HAES movement is based on the following principles.
- Accept your size.
- Trust yourself.
- Adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
- Find joy in moving your body.
- Eat when hungry and stop when full.
I give my thoughts on each of these principles, and whether or not I believe the HAES movement can be more detrimental than beneficial.

Jim Steineke adapted an intermittent fasting lifestyle 4 months ago after decades of weight fluctuations and sleep disturbances. Since that time he has achieved an optimal weight, improved his overall energy, kicked sweet cravings, and is experiencing his best sleep in decades.
Jim’s wife Heather was one of Shana’s first success stories and podcast interviews. Jim saw Heather achieve success, so he worked to adapt the same type of lifestyle. He has found it to simplify his life and bring sustained health improvements.
Listen to his inspirational story!

Does is take longer for healing to occur with long-standing obesity and chronic illness?

How does IF and LCHF help digestive issues?
Does IF work without cutting carbs?
How do I deal with a weight stall?
Can you do LCHF without a gallbladder?
How can I curtail binging when my window opens?
Do I lose protein status/muscle while fasting?
Does LCHF help both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics?

My son Hunter was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2016, and was very ill for almost 3 years. We tried everything to heal him, from supplements, to restrictive diets, to conventional medications, to metal chelation, to infusion treatments, to steroids.
We had to seek treatment for him outside of the conventional system to finally find healing.
Listen to Hunter's story, which starts with helplessness and hopelessness, and ends in hope, strength, and triumph.
The protocol that I used to heal him can be found at www.humanpara.org.
Join the Facebook Group Human Para to find support regarding the antibiotic treatment that healed Hunter. We worked with Dr. Thomas Borody's Centre For Digestive Diseases in Australia and will be forever grateful for his research regarding IBD.
https://centrefordigestivediseases.com/
The Facebook Group SCD Families is the other group mentioned in this episode that was instrumental in providing support and education regarding children battling Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Our integrative doctor, Dr. Lynn K. Wagner was open minded enough to look at the current research and provide the necessary treatments to heal Hunter. We love her approach to medicine and healing.

Grant Belvin has a masters degree in Kinesiology. Throughout the years he has tried many nutritional approaches to find natural healing and an increased quality of life.
After struggling to find the benefits from intermittent fasting several years ago, Grant contacted Shana for her recommendations and a detailed protocol, and decided to try IF one more time. He knew there was something he was missing!
His success the second time around was obvious! He lost weight, inches off his waist circumference, and simplified his diet. He also found greater energy, better sleep and a lower grocery bill! Grant realized he couldn’t snack his way through his eating window, and had to focus on foods that would provide fullness and satiety. He was able to accomplish that with Shana’s help.
To learn more about Grant and how he helps men find their best health, visit www.projectcapable.com. You can also find Grant’s Facebook page at Project Capable, and follow him on Instagram @projectcapable.

In this episode of Fast To Heal Stories, Shana talks with Joy Paffenroth. Joy teaches music full-time in Shana’s community at their high school, and is in front of audiences often. She is also the musical director, in addition to being a mom to 2 daughters.
Joy was experiencing a slow, but steady weight gain, and wasn’t feeling her best. She had worked with a personal trainer, which was helpful, but was not seeing the success she wanted. A serious car accident several years ago, coupled with the stresses of Covid was enough to make Joy realize the weight gain would continue unless something changed. In June of 2020, she read Fast To Heal, adopted the concepts, and never looked back.
In this episode, learn how Joy quickly turned her pattern of weight gain into weight loss. She talks about changing her family dynamic for her daughters and those to come. Joy talks about her intermittent fasting approach to maintain her health and weight, what has worked, what she is still working on, her biggest stressors, and what recommendations she has for others starting this lifestyle.

In this episode of Fast To Heal Stories, Shana talks with Jeni Marciniak. Jeni is a mother of 2, and a grandmother of 1, in addition to working full time and taking amazing photos when time allows.
Although Jeni did not deal with weight or health issues until her early 40’s, possible perimenopause hit her hard and fast. Within a matter of a few months, Jeni was dealing with insomnia, irregular cycles, bloating, weight gain, acne, and pain on the left side of her body. At first, she chalked it up to aging and hormonal fluctuations that were just “part of life in the 40’s”. After 1 personalized session with Shana, Jeni implemented intermittent fasting, and her life changed within a week!
In this episode, learn how Jeni quickly overcame all the health issues that had taken hold of her. She started sleeping better within 2 days, saw her chronic pain disappear within a week, got rid of her bloating, and went down a clothing size. Jeni talks about her intermittent fasting approach to maintain her health and weight, what has worked, what she is still working on, her biggest stressors, and what recommendations she has for others starting this lifestyle.

In this episode of Fast To Heal Stories, Shana talks with Melissa Hussin, Shana’s sister-in-law, and mother of 6.
Melissa has struggled with obesity since childhood, and has tried everything for weight loss over the past 3 decades, including Weight Watchers multiple times, exercise programs, calorie reduction, and various fad diets. She even had bariatric surgery about 15 years ago. She was able to lose a large amount of weight at that time, but gained most of it back. Melissa was feeling hopeless in the area of weight loss, especially with finding anything leading to sustainable weight loss.
When Shana talked to her about intermittent fasting in the Fall of 2019, she was apprehensive, but knew she had to achieve a healthier weight for herself and family. Melissa has suffered from hypothyroid since childhood, which can make weight loss even more difficult. She was not always consistent with her medication, adding to her health problems.
After the first week of intermittent fasting, Melissa was hooked. She has now lost 45 pounds in 9 months, and is still making progress. She is a lot more active, and several family members are joining in on her journey. Her father, who has had 9 heart attacks, felt better after the first week of intermittent fasting. Melissa’s daughter is also seeing the benefits and feeling better about herself, and her sister is also implementing the IF lifestyle!
Melissa talks about her approach to weight loss, what has worked, what she is still working on, how she deals with stress, and what recommendations she has for others starting this lifestyle.
