When it comes to infallible health, moderation and abstinence make a great pair. When you stop doing something you're constantly doing, you can actually generate positive results no matter what those things are – yes, even your favorite treats! So how do you know if you're implementing fasting properly with just the right amount of time? Listen to Dr. Jockers as he goes through the different fasting strategies and the steps on how to execute each one properly. 

 

"When you're consuming sweets, you're getting huge dopamine stimulation. Sweetness adds beauty to life but you don't want to overdo it."
