She shares her early struggles with disordered eating, dieting yo-yo cycles, and the eventual discovery of fasting as a sustainable lifestyle. She discusses her early experiences with food, the impact of societal pressures on body image, and how intermittent fasting transformed her relationship with food and health over the years. She reflects on her experiences during the pandemic, how her body has changed over time, and the strategies she has adopted to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She emphasizes the importance of understanding hunger cues and the mental load associated with traditional dieting, ultimately finding freedom in fasting. In this conversation, Korynn shares that her five-year journey with intermittent fasting has come with the challenges of binge eating due to emotional triggers, and the importance of having the mindset "consistency over perfection". Korynn emphasizes the significance of mindset shifts and the lessons learned throughout her journey, ultimately highlighting that health is a continuous process that requires daily commitment. She ends the episode by encouraging listeners to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Get Gin’s books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html . Good news!
