Paula is a recently retired occupational therapist, and currently works as a naturopath and a health coach. She is also the author of a book called Nature’s Child. Paula first heard about intermittent fasting from a friend on a girls’ trip in July of 2022. While Paula only had about 15 pounds to lose, she had been unable to lose those pounds no matter what she tried along the way, so she was immediately intrigued with the concept of intermittent fasting.Early in her journey, she found Gin’s books and learned about the clean fast. She said the clean fast was an immediate game changer, and she was able to fast with ease, settling into her current protocol of a daily 3-5 hour window, with an occasional meal-less day followed by an up day. That approach led to Paula losing the 15 pounds she wanted to lose and has allowed her to settle into a goal lifestyle that feels sustainable.Paula has always been interested in food and nutrition, and has seen the impact that foods have on the kids she worked with as an occupational therapist. That led her to go back to school to become a naturopath so she could better guide parents through the challenges of finding what their kids need to heal, and it was also the inspiration for her book, Nature’s Child.Paula shares her non-scale victories since starting intermittent fasting, which include reduced hip pain, softer skin, and better overall energy levels.Ending the episode, Paula offers valuable advice for anyone looking to start intermittent fasting. She emphasizes the importance of taking initial measurements, adhering to a clean fasting protocol, and viewing the entire process as a holistic health journey rather than just a weight loss plan. Paula encourages listeners to listen to their bodies and adjust their fasting and dietary strategies accordingly, ensuring that they are mindful of both physical health and overall well-being.Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including her latest bestseller 28-Day Fast Start Day-By-Day, the Ultimate Guide to Starting (or Restarting) Your Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle so it Sticks, New York Times Bestseller, Fast.
