Intermittent Fasting Stories

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Mochi Kaimu from Worcester, VT. Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle.  You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like.  Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.   IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community.  Mochi works for a company called Farmers to You (https://farmerstoyou.com/) that is building a sustainable food network, connecting consumers to farmers. He is also the author of a book called Plans for a Simple Sauna. Mochi shares his experiences with intermittent fasting and holistic living. His turning point came in 2019, after a beach vacation with family. Mochi shares how intermittent fasting led to weight loss while also helping him manage panic attacks and high blood pressure. His story is a testament to the positive impact of dietary mindfulness and a prioritization of natural health practices over conventional pharmaceutical interventions. He shares his experiences with a variety of natural practices such as yogic breathing techniques, regular sauna use, and cold plunging.  Mochi emphasizes the delicate balancing act that is required when discussing dietary habits with your children, advocating for promoting healthy relationships with food and self-image above all else.  Mochi concludes with a final piece of advice for our listeners: Just give intermittent fasting a try! Place your wellbeing at the forefront, let the positive changes extend beyond the scales, and remember to discuss and embody a healthy relationship to food and lifestyle with health at the forefront.
