In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the use of intermittent fasting as a lifestyle intervention for managing and potentially reversing type 2 diabetes. We highlight a recent study comparing the outcomes of a 5:2 meal replacement fasting group to those on metformin or Jardiance, demonstrating superior results in the fasting group for glucose control, weight loss, and reduced side effects. The practical takeaway is emphasizing small, manageable lifestyle changes rather than extreme measures to achieve sustainable health improvements. We encourage listeners to consider integrating intermittent fasting and deliberate meal choices into their lives for long-term wellness benefits.
