Is it safe to exercise while fasting? What if you're a recreational runner? A woman? Or trying to lose weight?

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Kira Sutherland, a naturopath and sports nutritionist with over 25 years of clinical experience and a deep passion for endurance sports. Together, we unravel the science (and myths) behind fasting and athletic performance.

Kira shares practical, evidence-informed insights about:

  • 🕒 The different types of fasting (intermittent, dry, Ramadan, fasted training)
  • 💪 How fasted exercise influences fat adaptation, performance, and recovery
  • ⚠️ Common mistakes athletes make with fasted training
  • 👩‍🦰 Why women respond differently to fasting than men (and what to do about it)
  • 🍽 The truth about post-exercise eating windows and what matters most
  • 🧠 Why the body’s natural rhythms may matter more than your fasting schedule
  • 📆 How often and when runners should fast depending on their goals

Whether you're curious about using fasting for performance, longevity, gut health, or fat loss — this episode will help you understand how to do it safely, effectively, and in sync with your body.
