Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique | Cynthia Thurlow | TEDxGreenville
Intermittent fasting is a revolutionary approach to weight loss, increased energy, and overall well-being. Cynthia Thurlow, a certified nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert, presented this transformational technique during her TEDxGreenville talk.
Thurlow has dedicated her professional career to helping people achieve optimal health through personalized nutrition and wellness plans. She has studied the benefits of intermittent fasting and has seen its transformative results in her clients.
Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but rather a pattern of eating that involves cycles of fasting and feasting. Thurlow explains that the body is designed to go through periods of fasting and feasting, and that intermittent fasting helps improve metabolic flexibility, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce inflammation.
Thurlow also points out that intermittent fasting doesn’t require calorie counting or eliminating any specific foods; instead, it focuses on when to eat rather than what to eat. She suggests starting with a 12 hour fast and gradually increasing the fasting window to up to 16 hours.
Thurlow emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and finding what works best for you. She also highlights that it takes time for the body to adjust to intermittent fasting, and that while it may be difficult at first, it becomes easier with practice.
