The Forgotten Power of Fasting: A Revolution in Women's Health

Imagine a world where women aren't constantly counting calories or obsessing over meal timing, yet still achieve vibrant health. This isn't fantasy-it's the ancient practice of intermittent fasting, reimagined for modern women. While celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry have embraced this approach, the real power lies in its ability to address root causes of conditions plaguing millions of women: type 2 diabetes, hormonal imbalances, and PCOS. Megan Ramos discovered fasting's transformative power firsthand after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and PCOS at just 27-despite following conventional dietary advice. Her personal healing journey led her to partner with Dr. Jason Fung to create a clinical program that has helped over 20,000 women reclaim their health. Their work reveals a profound truth: sometimes the most powerful medicine isn't what we add to our lives, but what we temporarily remove. What makes fasting different from dieting? Think of your body as having both a refrigerator (recently consumed food) and a freezer (stored body fat). Fasting simply means using what's in your "freezer" before constantly restocking your "refrigerator"-allowing your body to access its natural energy reserves rather than constantly processing new fuel.
