You'll hear about different fasting schedules, like the popular 16/8 or more prolonged fasts that last up to five days, and learn essential tips like incorporating high-protein meals and nutrient density for optimal results.
Nathalie also touches on cutting-edge topics like the use of peptides and bioregulators to amplify fasting benefits.
