This episode dives deep into why blood sugar spikes can sabotage your fasting success and make it nearly impossible to close your eating window. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain the "glucose management zone" concept - treating every eating window as an opportunity to control blood sugar volatility rather than create metabolic chaos. Learn why that post-meal energy crash leads to late-night cravings that break your fasts, and discover simple strategies like apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, and meal sequencing that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%. If you struggle with hunger between meals, can't seem to close your eating window, or find yourself breaking fasts due to cravings, this episode provides the blood sugar management tools to make fasting feel effortless and sustainable.
