In this episode, Wendy Limbertie interviews Fred Rutman about his medical history, including 35 concussions and two pacemakers. They discuss his journey into intermittent fasting and its health benefits, such as reversing type 2 diabetes, improving sleep, reducing inflammation, and weight loss. Topics include the role of artificial sweeteners, sleep's importance, and the misconception that fasting is just a diet. They also recommend 'The Obesity Code' by Dr. Jason Fung and highlight autophagy's benefits during fasting, like improved skin elasticity, emphasizing the need to be your own healthcare advocate.
