The Changing World Order | Finding health in unsettling times 06.11.2026 43mI recently read a history/economics book "The Changing World Order" by Ray Dalio.

Fasting Inside the Box 28.10.2026 34mWe often thing of rules and constraints as limiting. And we don't like limits! But sometimes limits are the greatest ally in making progress. Think of bumper bowling, super guides that really increase the chance of success, especially when starting out. To me, fasting is like that. Guidelines that keep eating in a functional place. I recently read "inside the box" by David Epstein. It challenges the idea of always "thinking outside the box." It's full of examples where placing limits is actually what drives the most progress. "Food for thought"Sincerely,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

Who finds fasting content confusing? 27.10.2026 42mCome grab a coffee or tea and hang out in fasting space. In this session I chat about so many videos on youtube that are contradictory within themselves or between other videos on a channel. So many times fasting is presented as one thing. People say "do this, not that." Really I want people to see that fasting is a spectrum and different amounts of it can be right for different people at different times. Very flexible! Not rigid! Intuitive!

Nothing is Profound 23.10.2026 49mIf you are a cynic, you read the title as a melancholy reflection on a burnt-out culture. But dial in with me live and I'll read the life in it. "NOTHING" ... is PROFOUND. The space of fasting is profound. Although nothing, it has the power to dissolve many things. Blood sugar, body fat, stress, confusion. It costs nothing. Asks nothing other than doing the work of doing nothing.

They Say Fasting is Too Stressful 22.10.2026 58mThere is a school of thought that says a fasting weight loss path is too stressful. Why would anyone ever do it? People cite scientific studies that show cortisol impacts and suggest that even reinforces that view.What do you think? For me I find fasting to be the opposite of stressful. It is freedom from having to constantly consume. Freedom from the fear that if I miss even one little meal that something bad is going to happen in my body. It is strength and confidence. What is stressful to me is trying to lose weight while always having to eat more all the time. That is a stress-inducing paradigm beyond measure. But that is my view. Come share your's and feel free to disagree! :) Sincerely,-Phil Zimmermann, MDUnravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally:https://www.drzmethod.comFasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!:https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streamsReferenced in this discussion:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9940638/pdf/fnut-10-1078508.pdfhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8419605/pdf/enm-2021-405.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF7O2Rr-Fkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i7gI1dY2aU+++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.

See the Opportunity in the Obstacle 16.10.2026 52mWouldn't it be nice if every day was sunny and the breeze was at our back? For better or worse our health path is often filled with "rainy days" just when we think the sun should be shining. It's fall in Wisconsin and it's raining today. I got the camera out to the lake and stood in the rain. Bringing us some footage of the rainy lake and some wet leaves. The reality of what some may call a "dreary" space can still have it's own beauty if we look for it. Grab a coffee or tea. Settle in to the gentle sound of a rainy space and lets center our mind on overcoming any obstacle we face.

Doc Says "Stop 16:8 Now" (Thomas DeLauer Show) 15.10.2026 54mToday I'm going to share some thoughts about a video with a doctor who says "Stop doing 16:8" and address some of the confusion it causes.Link to that is here: https://youtu.be/qQbrb9LGJOUHonestly, I really like the video and encourage people to watch it. Would love to have a conversation with Thomas DeLauer and/or Dr. Schoeff about it, in the event some internet magic brings it to them. I am going to suggest this framing is missing some nuance, but I love the broader point of the video that increasing fasting intensity can strongly impact visceral fat. I'm all for it. But saying 16:8 is meaningless is missing nuance.

Overthinking Happiness | Think Smaller 12.10.2026 16mMost things we do, one way or another, are ultimately efforts to find happiness. Sometimes we make the objective so big that it seems we may never accomplish it and happiness will remain elusive. In short, we can really overthink it. Think smaller.
