Laurie shares her personal journey of overcoming weight gain, brain fog, and low energy to discover the transformative power of intermittent fasting. We explore how this simple yet effective approach can help anyone—regardless of gender—regain energy, sharpen focus, and feel their best, all without the stress of restrictive diets.
