What this video covers
A woman messaged me last month describing her exact day to me. She was up at 6:00 and already counting down to when her eating window opened at noon, checking the clock every 20 minutes by midm morning, standing in her kitchen at 11:58, waiting for her phone to hit the hour. She’d been doing 168 fasting for 4 months, completely by the book. And she told me fasting had turned to a second job living in her head.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- Today, I want to answer the question in the title, peptides versus fasting, because I don’t think most people are actually asking this question the right way.
- And this is the problem that GLP1 peptides can step in to solve.
- a completely different system from the one that peptides are targeting and injected peptides work differently again.
- But I will say that if you’re on a GLP-1 peptide, intermittent fasting dayto-day becomes a little bit less necessary because your appetite is lower.
- A study on how people actually eat when on a GLP1 described them as facilitators that help someone regain control over their eating, not standalone solutions.
- Now, if you found this video helpful, if you’re curious about peptides, GLP1s, reatride, I’m going to link a video on the screen now that goes over my full protocol.
