Fasting, Cortisol and Seed Cycling

This week we’re answering your questions, starting with fasting and whether time-restricted eating really supports metabolic health and gut health. We dig into what the research actually shows about early versus late eating windows, the impact on circadian rhythms, and whether fasting has any proven benefits for the gut microbiome.

We’re also breaking down bioresonance testing and why mainstream science doesn’t support it, before tackling the flood of advice online about cortisol. What really is cortisol, what happens when levels are too high or too low, and which tips are genuinely helpful for managing stress hormones?

Plus, we look at seed cycling for hormone health, exploring the theory behind it, the nutrients involved, and whether there is any evidence to support the practice.
