Monica recounts her initial exposure to fasting through a friend's success story, her struggles with emotional eating stemming from a chaotic childhood, and the impact of her mother's gastric bypass surgery. She discusses her own weight loss journey, including how it felt to get up to her highest weight of 330 pounds at the age of 24, which led her to her own weight loss surgery, then struggles with addiction, and getting sober. Ultimately, Monica rediscovered the principles of intermittent fasting through Dr. Fung's The Obesity Code , leading to a renewed focus on health and wellness. This led her to Gin’s work, and the clean fast. Monica shares her transformative journey with intermittent fasting, detailing her initial struggles, the adaptations she made, and the significant health improvements she experienced. She emphasizes the importance of finding a sustainable approach to nutrition and exercise, and how her family has embraced these changes together. She loves ADF, and it works well for her life. Monica also discusses the empowerment that comes from teaching her children about healthy eating and listening to their bodies, ultimately leading to a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. To end the episode, Monica tells listeners to give yourself permission to make mistakes, and simply don’t stop. Instead, keep going.
