Why Women Need to Fast Differently Than Men
Intermittent fasting—restricting your eating into a set block of time each day—has risen in popularity thanks to celebrities like Andrew Huberman and Mark Wahlberg. They claim that this practice improves weight loss, blood sugar markers, and brain health—just to name a few of the impressive longevity-boosting benefits. There’s just one thing: many proponents of intermittent fasting are men. But intermittent fasting works differently depending on your sex, according to Cynthia Thurlow, N.P. Dialing into male-centered advice might not lead to the results you’re looking for. On this episode of the Hone In with Saad Alam podcast, Thurlow explains why intuitive fasting—a type of time-restricted eating that's individually tailored to your goals, stress, hormones, and sleep—is optimal for women. She also explains how different hormonal states, like menopause and menstruation, can impact the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, exercise, and diet. But what and when NOT to eat is only half the fun. Thurlow also shares what she adds to her grocery list to optimize her hormone health. WE DISCUSS: Why longer fasting produces greater benefits The link between intermittent fasting and longevity How intermittent fasting impacts your hormones Why women and men should try different fasting protocols How time-restricted eating may offset the negative effects of modern day lifestyles IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: The 12-hour magic mark for maximum IF benefits How to use fasting to activate autophagy How to pick the best fasting window for your lifestyle The best IF protocol for women Easy ways to incorporate time-restricted eating, without a big commitment Check out the full episode and more at: : https://honehealth.com/edge/podcast/ Listen to the episodes on: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/76Hg5OU5oOu7S9Ze6WPSlw APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hone-in/id1707026738 Watch clips from Hone In episodes on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoOQaVPbgKQ Get exclusive weekly tips from show guests in our newsletter:: https://hone-health.ck.page/hone-in Follow us at: HONE HEALTH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hone.health/?hl=en SAAD ALAM INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/msaadalam/?hl=en Learn More: https://honehealth.com/

The TRUTH about how sleep impacts your HRV (and why it matters)
As the vice president of performance science and principal scientist at Whoop, Kristen Holmes, PhD aims to move the needle big-time on health markers that matter. Her average day involves researching the effect of sleep, circadian recovery, and load behaviors on physical, mental, and emotional resilience to help Whoop members change the trajectory of their health. In this episode of Hone In, podcast host and Hone Health CEO Saad Alam sat down with Holmes for the inside scoop on the exact changes that make the biggest impact on how you show up and perform every day. They talk about the link between sleep quality and heart rate variability (HRV)—a key biomarker linked to how hard you can push during a workout (or workday) and how fast you’ll recover. Plus, what to drink (and not to drink) to boost your HRV. Holmes also outlines how to control natural and artificial light to maximize your sleep-wake cycle. And how to know when to hold back and push in your workouts based on your HRV and stress levels. Listen to the full episode for a sneak peek into how to tweak your habits to boost HRV quickly, and ultimately live a longer, higher-quality life. We Discuss: How fitness performance is linked to HRV Exactly what time to stop looking at artificial light for better sleep Biomarkers that may indicate stress and how to improve them How circadian rhythm plays a role in boosting recovery Holme’s three non-negotiables for high-quality sleep In This Episode You’ll Learn: How your physiological behaviors are linked to your psychology Why this one bad habit might be reducing your performance When (and when not to eat) to optimize your circadian rhythm The one recovery strategy you’re probably missing Why you should always get a few hours of sleep before midnight Check out the full episode and more at: : https://honehealth.com/edge/podcast/ Listen to the episodes on: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/76Hg5OU5oOu7S9Ze6WPSlw APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hone-in/id1707026738 Watch clips from Hone In episodes on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoOQaVPbgKQ Get exclusive weekly tips from show guests in our newsletter:: https://hone-health.ck.page/hone-in Follow us at: HONE HEALTH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hone.health/?hl=en SAAD ALAM INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/msaadalam/?hl=en Learn More: https://honehealth.com/

Proven Ways to Improve Gut Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre
There’s nothing sexy about the gut. At least, that’s what internist and functional medicine specialist Vincent Pedre, M.D., thought when he was in medical school. But once he discovered how gut health impacts almost every system of the body, he dedicated his entire career to it. On the Hone In with Saad Alam podcast, Pedre reveals why regional differences in the gut microbiome—due to diet, toxin exposure, and medicine use—could contribute to Blue Zone-level longevity. He zooms in on one Tanzanian hunter-gatherer tribe, the Hadza, who live practically untouched by debilitating illnesses like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Pedre also dives into the details of how long it really takes to heal your gut. (Did you know that unfurled, your gut microbiome is the size of a tennis court?). Plus, exactly what lifestyle factors could make or break chronic gut inflammation—impacting your risk of chronic disease. We Discuss: Regional differences in gut microbiome Why leaky gut could increase your chronic disease risk The link between gut and hormone health How long it takes to heal an inflamed or leaky gut Why one Tanzanian tribe is virtually untouched by diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and dementia In This Episode You’ll Learn: Stress management strategies that could improve your gut health How antibiotics and pesticides can impact your microbiome What lifestyle factors could be causing leaky gut The “Weed, Seed, and Feed” method of curing gut inflammation Which gut inflammation-causing foods to avoid Check out the full episode and more at: : https://honehealth.com/edge/podcast/ Listen to the episodes on: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/76Hg5OU5oOu7S9Ze6WPSlw APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hone-in/id1707026738 Watch clips from Hone In episodes on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoOQaVPbgKQ Get exclusive weekly tips from show guests in our newsletter:: https://hone-health.ck.page/hone-in Follow us at: HONE HEALTH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hone.health/?hl=en SAAD ALAM INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/msaadalam/?hl=en Learn More: https://honehealth.com/
