In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze recent research from the Journal of Nature Communications revealing how intermittent fasting combined with protein pacing transforms gut health and metabolism in ways traditional calorie counting can't match. The hosts break down the surprising findings showing how fasting plus protein pacing creates a more diverse gut microbiome, increases fat-burning metabolites, and improves metabolic flexibility while reducing inflammation. They explore why fasting participants naturally increased their protein intake beyond recommendations and experienced greater reductions in visceral fat while maintaining muscle mass. This episode offers practical guidance on finding a sustainable macronutrient balance without extreme restrictions, making it easier to stick with healthy eating patterns long-term while enjoying better results than traditional dieting approaches.
