Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Sleep Issues, 10-Day Fasts, OMAD, Constipation, and Hydration Issues
Episode #147
In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:
1. Do you have any tips for getting better sleep while fasting? (Rose from Edinburgh) [01:57]
2. Is it possible to do a 10-day water fast without medical supervision? How long can one fast
without needing medical supervision? (Maria from Toronto) [07:11]
3. When fasting for 36-72 hours, the Quick Guides say to eat lunch and dinner the following day.
Is this a requirement or a suggestion as I find it easier to eat OMAD at dinnertime after work.
(Mable from Montreal) [08:53]
4. My question is about fasting and constipation. How do I deal with it when skipping breakfast?
(Lucilei from The Netherlands) [11:50]
5. I am doing 36-42 hour therapeutic fasting three times a week to reverse T2D. Once I have done that, what should my maintenance routine be? (Don from British Columbia) [15:44]
6. How do I balance staying adequately hydrated and not having to visit the washroom every
one-two hours? I find it difficult to leave home as I constantly have to find the nearest washroom, but the worst is having to get up 3-4 times during the night and having interrupted sleep because of it. (Jane from Toronto) [18:09]

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Ketones, Fat Adaptation, Carb Loading Before Surgery, Survival Genes, Dairy, and More
Episode #144
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:
I’ve known for a long time how neuroprotective ketones are for the brain, but, wow, what ketones do for the heart is amazing, especially the failing heart. Could you elaborate, Dr. Fung? [02:15] Do you need to be in ketosis to burn fat and does being in at least a low level of nutritional ketosis help you go into autophagy sooner? [04:39] Why does it take such a long time to become fat adapted? [07:20] I’ve heard that fasting “turns on” survival genes. Can you tell us a little more about this? [09:25] What are your thoughts about the new recommendation to carb load before surgery to “calm” someone? [11:12] Is there any correlation between fasting and pulse rate? [12:58] I have a diabetic friend who is participating in a study on duodenal mucosa resurfacing (DMR) as a treatment for T2D. Does Dr. Fung have any take on this pretty new procedure or explanation of how and why it works? [13:17] If a person wants the benefit of therapeutic fasting (like autophagy) but they do not have adequate body fat for longer fasts (for example, a TOFI person with a fatty liver, or somebody at 30% body fat who needs a lot of autophagy for an autoimmune condition), How should they eat on eating days to be able to maintain a therapeutic fasting schedule like an alternate-day fasting protocol? [16:33] What are the signs of a histamine intolerance and can it get worse over time? Does fasting help? [17:53] If autophagy is mostly switched on by the presence of mTor, could a person (in principle) eat a zero protein diet and eat exclusively fat but still ramp up autophagy enough for some protein recycling to aid loose skin reduction, macular problems, skin tags, etc.? [18:45] How do you get rid of visceral fat? [20:22] How long does the effect of dairy on insulin last? [21:45] Why is it easier for women to do longer fasts after they’ve had a small amount of tubers during the last meal before their fast? [24:41] Please note that you need to be a member of the TFM Community to submit questions to the Q&A webinars with Dr. Fung but you can submit questions to our regular Q&A episodes here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs

Customer Reviews
Great pod
One negative that I’ll start with is that Terry’s microphone is too good. Her voice is so crisp, you can hear everything that her mouth does. It’s very distracting for a person like me. I cannot listen to her pods. It’s a me thing.
I’ve found that this is the only podcast on fasting and everything around it that I can listen too on a consistent basis. Even when discussions are on women’s issues, I fine benefit from it. None of it ever gets old.
Keep it going team. Great work. And I hope my criticism of Terry’s microphone lands softly.
Thank you.
Episode 6 - Megan Ramos - Amazing
Such a personal story. Megans history and journey to The Fasting Method is real, and touching. Hearing her talk about her mother’s illness is baffling. Thank you for your honesty.
Get rid of Nadia and Terri
Nadia and Terri are painful to listen to. They have major grifter energy and talk constantly without saying anything. I only like the episodes with Megan.
