  • Get to the point

    What a complete waste of time. Where’s the promised content? It’s all ads and rambling personal stories.

  • Self entitled ads

    The first 15 minutes of the podcast are all about ads and Melanie putting herself on a pedestal. The second part is shooting the breeze about nothing I care about there may be three minutes. Of true information about intermittent fasting. This podcast bites the dust. It was way better before with Jenn Stevens. I could listen to a podcast with her all day which I do, but this one would be better. Minus these host and add Jenn Stevens.

  • I can't stand Melanie's dry mouth sounds. Eat something! Or at least sip some calorie free water

    Every time I try to listen to this podcast and this has been going on for years, starving herself Melanie has that horrible dry mouth striving for saliva sound that is so disgusting I can't listen to it for more than a second.

  • Best pairing so far!

    I’ve been listening for a couple of years now and I think Barry and Melanie are the best pairing yet! They are both super nice and have a very good rapport. Their banter is often quite amusing and their topics and discussions are enlightening and entertaining. The part where they pick a restaurant and do virtual dining is very entertaining! Best cohost since Gin! Even slightly better, I think - I find myself chuckling often while in my car driving to and from work (which is the majority of my... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#474 - 4:3 Intermittent Fasting, Estrogen Detox, Fasting's Effects on Eating Behaviors and Appetite Hormones, Reducing Binge Eating, Tobacco And Fasting, Weight Loss Plateaus, Sexual Assault Awareness, And More!
Q: What should Bob do about his plateau, and what about tobacco use during fasting?
Acknowledge that plateaus are normal; suggest maintaining high protein, continuing fasting, optimizing recovery and sleep, and considering modest macro adjustments after a month if needed; discuss tobacco: nicotine is a stressor, quitting is ideal, chewing tobacco during fasting is not a clean fast, consider nicotine patches as a controlled alternative while working to quit.
#474 - 4:3 Intermittent Fasting, Estrogen Detox, Fasting's Effects on Eating Behaviors and Appetite Hormones, Reducing Binge Eating, Tobacco And Fasting, Weight Loss Plateaus, Sexual Assault Awareness, And More!
Q: I'm wondering what foods would support the detox of estrogen from my body and which foods I should avoid if that's my goal. Any other hormone optimizing tips you might have to offer?
Explain the three phases of estrogen processing (phase one transformation, phase two conjugation with glutathione support, and phase three elimination), recommend cruciferous vegetables for phase one, allium vegetables for glutathione support, high-fiber foods to reduce reabsorption, maintain adequate protein for methylation, and advise minimizing processed foods, excess alcohol, and endocrine disruptors; also discuss phytoestrogens in soy and flax and suggest choosing whole, organic sources and individual tolerance, plus emphasis on sleep, stress management, and strength training for hormonal balance.
#469 - Fasting To Help Disordered Eating, Craving Dating App, Romantic Partner Eating Habits, Longer Fasting Benefits, Fast Food Choices, Our Favorite Supplements, And More!
Q: What are your thoughts on longer fasting durations?
Longer fasts can provide deeper autophagy and mental clarity, but should be approached with caution and individualized to avoid muscle loss and stress. They are not required for health and should be done under guidance when considered.
#473 - Mimicking Food Choices, Social Eating Influences, Weight Gain After Starting Fasting, Book Translations, Stress And Weight Gain, Premium Wine Secrets, And More!
Q: Sandra asks for Spanish translations of their book and whether automation could translate books via AI, given the language barriers for her family in Mexico.
Melanie explains that translations are controlled by the publisher and notes AI could enable automated translations now, but quality and licensing constraints remain; she expresses openness to exploring multilingual options and acknowledges the value of reaching a broader audience.
#472 - Emotional Eating And Weight Gain, Pickle Cravings, Fasting For Willpower, Muscle Soreness From Fasting, And More!
Q: Does pickle juice break a fast, and why might someone crave pickles while fasting?
Pickle juice is unlikely to break a fast in small amounts; cravings are often due to electrolyte needs (sodium) as fasting shifts sodium balance and taste buds recalibrate, making salty foods more appealing.
