Intermittent Fasting: Is It Really Worth The Hype?! (w/ Shana)

I am finally ready to tackle all of your burning Q's surrounding intermittent fasting (IF)! Many of our listeners ask: "Is intermittent fasting the ultimate solution for achieving optimal health?" "Can this pattern of eating truly support my metabolism and help me loose weight?" "Will intermittent fasting screw up my hormones and energy?" Let's separate fact from fiction and explore what the science has to say. In this episode, I will be joined by Shana, a renowned nutrition expert, also known as "the nutrition tea" on Insta who is here to help me break it down for you so you can be better informed and see if its the best or worst approach for you. LISTEN UP! 

The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body. Join Valerie Agyeman, Women’s Health Dietitian as she breaks through topics surrounding periods, women’s nutrition, body awareness, and self-care. 

About Shana Spence 

Shana is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in New York. She is an "all foods fit" dietitian. Life is already complicated, why restrict yourself unnecessarily? She creates a platform for open discussion on nutrition and wellness topics that are anti diet, Health at Every Size, non weight centric related, considering all the information circulating around these days. Was she always interested in nutrition? No. Not so long ago, she worked in the fashion industry and hated it. (The joke is: she got a B.S in Fashion Merchandising...get it?) She finally decided to make a change, go back to school and became involved in food policy and public health, where she currently works. In addition to this, she owns her business, The Nutrition Tea which provides consulting and counseling work. Speaking engagements include Peloton, NEDA, Eating Recovery Center, The Rose Retreats, FoodFluence 2022, and Eat Well Global. She can be seen in media such as NPR, Shape Magazine, GQ, SELF Magazine, Women's Health Magazine, Outside Magazine, ABC Good Morning America, and Healthline.
