Episode 70: Feasting & Fasting - Why Your Body Needs Both

In this episode of the Lifestyle School Podcast, Hope Plack breaks down the relationship between feasting, fasting, insulin, and body fat — and why modern eating patterns may be keeping so many people metabolically stuck.

You’ll learn:

• Why constant eating keeps insulin elevated
• How insulin impacts fat storage and fat burning
• Why many people struggle with metabolic flexibility
• The difference between feasting and overeating
• How fasting allows the body to access stored energy
• What happens physiologically during a fast
• The benefits of time restricted eating, intermittent fasting, and therapeutic fasting
• Common myths about fasting and metabolism
• Simple ways to begin fasting safely and sustainably

This episode is designed to help you better understand how your body was designed to use both incoming food and stored energy — and how restoring that balance can improve energy, appetite regulation, and metabolic health.
