In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle real listener challenges that many fasters face on their journey. They address breaking through the stubborn 24-hour fasting barrier with strategic meal timing adjustments that make extending fasts feel natural rather than forced. The hosts provide practical solutions for managing salt sensitivity and gout while maintaining adequate protein intake, offering specific product recommendations and alternative mineral strategies. They celebrate a listener's incredible success with 72-hour weekly fasts while exploring why some people thrive with longer fasts and others don't. The episode wraps up with compassionate guidance on overcoming fasting fatigue and mental resistance, emphasizing the importance of returning to what was working previously rather than forcing stricter protocols that feel unmotivating.
