Show notes

By Farnoosh Brock.

I am Farnoosh Brock, the founder and president of Prolific Living, a company I started in 2011 after a long corporate career at a Fortune 100. I quit my job at Cisco when I realized that my contribution to the world lies in other gifts that I've been able to express through coaching, speaking, writing, and training. Together with my husband, Andy, we left the employee mindset behind and became full-time entrepreneurs and have never once looked back! I'm the author of 4 traditionally published books, 3 blogs, 1 podcast (The Daily Interaction Show), ebooks, and several programs on career advancement, mindset, and self-empowerment. I'm also a crazy avid yogi and a proud Intermittent Faster! On my foray into fasting: I've been extremely gifted with amazing health all my life, and maybe that's why I am obsessed with the idea of health, vitality, longevity, and fitness. I was big into juices & smoothies & healing drinks for years but as I entered my 40s, my body stopped responding to the old 'health tools' and my relationship with food became a love-hate and I felt so confused about how to stay vigilant & feel great. Fasting has truly healed all of that and more. Farnoosh. How to connect with Farnoosh.

Show notes

By Alison Jones

I am 55 years old and I have been overweight or obese since childhood. My first attempt to lose weight was under the care of a hospital dietician. I was 10 years old. My weight really started to be an issue after having my children. I dieted a low calorie plan, lost some, then gained it all back. My highest known weight was 158 kg in 2003. Mostly my weight sat around 127 kg.

I developed type 2 diabetes and lymphedema in both legs At my worst,( in 2003), my left calf measured 93 cm.

By the summer of 2020 I was taking over 100 units of mixed insulin a day and my weight had risen to 142 kg. August 2020 I started Intermittent Fasting at either 16:8 or ,18:6. September 1st I started OMAD. Within days I stopped insulin. My Hba1c has fallen to 5.7 (39) below the diabetes threshold. My lymphedema is greatly improved. I have lost 30kg and numerous dress sizes.

I have a long journey still, but this works!

Episode 60 -Shagen Ganason A beginner to intermittent fasting who lost 11Kg 22 pounds in 5 months. Overcoming a severe trauma. Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

By Shagen Ganason

My name is Shagen and as far as I can remember, I have always been overweight. My BMI normally borders on obese. Over the years, I have tried very hard to lose weight but to little effect. I do cardio at the gym 7 days a week but it didn’t help. I have tried all types of diets, again to no effect. When I was in my 30s, I over 110kg. I am in my 50s now and I need to bring my weight down before I get health complications. A friend of mine suggested that I do IF. I tried it once last year but not eating breakfast did not appeal to me and I gave up. But late last year, when I did a health check my doctor told me that if I didn’t bring my weight down, I am likely to have other health issues. That was a wake up call. So, I tried it again in November last year. I started 16:8 initially for almost 2 months and felt my clothes becoming loose. I then increased my fasting by an hour gradually to 20:4 now. I feel better, have more energy and find that I am now more alert. My goal is to reduce my weight to 70kg so that my BMI shows that I am in the healthy weight range.

Episode 59 Lisa Jasunas - an incredible 60kg (132 pounds) weight loss journey whilst living with PCOS. Apr 04, 2021

Show notes

By Lisa Jasunas.

I am a 34 year old, working mother of two from Buford Georgia USA, living with PCOS; a hormone disorder that is a leading cause to insulin resistance, infertility & weight gain. Struggling with self-esteem, anxiety and depression growing up, food was always a constant. After my first born son unexpectedly passed away in 2010, I continued to fill the void with food. I have always been career driven which led to a fast paced lifestyle, often traveling and for four years I was a single mother to my second born son. Needing convenience, my eating choices did not make weight loss any easier. For the 10 year death anniversary of my son, I devoted the special year to getting my life back & being the best version of myself for my husband and two children. I not only had tanked my metabolism and confused my appetite from years of diet fads, overeating, and a yo-yo life of the gain/loss of the same weight, I had been living in sadness and there was no better time to address it. Little did I know I was going to have to face one of the biggest feats of my life during a pandemic. I was introduced to Intermittent Fasting by Gin Stephens’ Delay, Don’t Deny book in October 2019 by my mom, who had seen me through my unhealthiest years. After hearing that by timing your eating windows you could help correct metabolic issues, I couldn’t wait another day and started my new journey to health on October 13th, 2019. I have spent the past 17 months learning about this way of life and gaining my life back one clean fast at a time. I’m down 132 lbs, 95 lbs since starting IF. Every pound lost has been a pound of weight off my shoulders after eating my way through many emotions that I couldn’t force myself to deal with. Intermittent fasting has been my anchor. My goal is that by sharing my story I can influence just one life; because my life has been saved.

Episode 57 Ava Brodie -finally finds a sustainable way of losing weight with intermittent fasting and discovers many non scale victories ! Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Ava Brodie from the UK is a 63 year old married to the lovely Terry whom she met late in life. She was a very skinny child eating whatever she liked especially sugary food and this continued into her adult life.

When Ava reached her thirties, her weight started to become an issue. She remembers walking into her first weight watchers group. She spent the next 25 years in and out of slimming clubs. Ava knows she has spent a small fortune trying to control her weight without any success. She would lose the weight with the programs, but, before she knew it, it was back again and a lot more. Luckily, Ava always loved exercising, especially walking and using weights.

In 2016 Ava came across Jason Fung and his book, "The Obesity Code". She was fascinated by the science behind it and then found Gin Stephens "Delay, Don't Deny" and she began fasting. She was really enjoying this way of eating and thought, that in her window, she could eat whatever she wanted, but Ava soon realised that she couldn’t. Ava spent quite a long time trying different fasting protocols. When she wasn’t clean fasting she learned that she really didn't have much success.

Through Gins books Ava came across "The Fasting Highway" by Graeme Currie. Reading his story really resonated with her and she found herself nodding through most of his story. She thought, if this man can get through all of his struggles, lose 60kg ( 132lbs)in 14 months then Ava, was certain that she could finally get a grip on her weight once and for all.

As soon Ava started clean fasting, she felt very different. Previously, she had stuck to an 16.8 or 18.6 protocol and upped it to a 23.1 protocol and the weight started to finally come off.

Ava Brodie has experienced some amazing NSV's, which she said is fantastic. They include; reduced blood pressure medication, lower cholesterol, a mole that was growing disappeared, skin tags are gone, her energy is through the roof, she has stronger nails and hair and I has lost a whopping seven inches off her waist!

Her starting weight was (76kg) 168lbs and she now weighs (57kg) 126lbs. Ava is 5 ft 3 inches tall.

She is a wonderful advocate for The Fasting Highway Facebook group and is an inspiration to many members.

Episode 55 Greg Currie - the first ten months losing an impressive 23kg (50 pounds). We discuss finding great health benefits along the way. Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

By Greg Currie

I have lived my entire life in the rural area of South central Manitoba about 90 minutes south of Winnipeg along the US border.

My wife Tracey and I were High school sweethearts and have been together for 43 years now

Married 38 years and have raised 6 children and have 8 grandchildren

I have always worked in the Agricultural industry and more recently (2013) manage the Municipal recycling and waste program in our area.

Along with Tracey we love to do Videography of which we have made a side line business out of . ( Weddings.Graduations,Special events ,etc etc)

Tracey is a retired Registered Nurse who has gone back to work part time due to staff shortages ( covid and politics)

I was always active growing up playing hockey and baseball and although a little overweight for my height it wasn't until I reached my late 20's I started gaining weight that never seemed to go away. Tried numerous ways of losing between my 40's up to about a year ago with no success. Could always lose but it always came back plus a few pounds.

In May of 2020 at 267 lbs and 5 ft 9 I discovered fasting through Delay Don't Deny and have never been happier about the simplistic and easy approach to so far losing 23Kg- 50 lbs of weight and improving my health. My biggest NSV has been an overall improvement in my mental and physical being.

Episode 54 John Beaver is 6 months into his intermittent fasting journey and has lost a staggering 31 Kg (70 pounds) during lockdown. Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

John Beaver is the father of two sons and a manager for a wholesale electrical supply business in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He has had a lifelong struggle with his weight, topping out at 387 pounds in late 2007 just before having bariatric surgery (VSG) in May 2008. Prior to and after the surgical intervention, John lost over 180 pounds, likely saving his life and shrinking to a low weight of 204 in early 2009 before beginning to slowly (and not so slowly!) regain the weight in spite of the physical realignment of his anatomy.

John’s younger son, now 18, lives with cerebral palsy and has severe disabilities requiring constant care, which drove him to look for ways to improve his own health and longevity as he passed his milestone 50th birthday in 2019. He had regained the weight back to around 136kgs (300 pound) and had begun to suffer frequent terrible migraines.

He attempted keto/low carb with little success, despite having had some success on the plan in earlier years. He found it to be unsustainable as a lifestyle. Intermittent fasting came into his view first in early 2020 from some acquaintances in the weight loss surgery community, and he attempted it with little to no information and found it discouraging and impractical. He happened upon the New York Times bestselling book " Fast, Feast, Repeat" at the local library and started in August 2020 just after his 51st birthday using the “clean fast” method.

He then joined multiple Facebook groups and became a podcast junkie, and hasn’t looked back since. The migraines have virtually disappeared, and he is nearing an “overweight” BMI for the first time in his adult life. He anticipates intermittent fasting to be an ongoing lifestyle for gaining and maintaining a new healthy way of living.

Show notes

Steven is a lawyer by a day and a social entrepreneur by night. Originally from Vancouver, he has had an on-and-off relationship with fasting since 2017 when he was first introduced to Dr. Jason Fung his book the Obesity Code. Since getting married in 2018, his weight has slowly increased month-by-month and accelerated during COVID. When he stepped on the scale in July last year, he was at his highest weight ever and realised that he had to do something drastic to make a change.

This is an engaging chat with Steven who shares some personal battles and his "why" for wanting to be healthier. His passion shines through and we look forward to hearing about the next chapter of his journey.
