Waist Away: The Intermittent Fasting Podcast

Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s must-listen episode, Chantel sits down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, expert in cellular healing and author of Beyond Fasting. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Pompa unpacks the science behind intermittent fasting, extended fasts, and why our bodies are genetically programmed to fast. He explains how fasting triggers autophagy, renews cells, resets hormones, and helps detox harmful toxins stored at the cellular level. Chantel and Dr. Pompa also dive into cellular detoxification, senescent cells, the impact of inflammation on hormone receptors, and why most “cleanses” don’t go deep enough. Whether you're just starting your fasting journey or want to level up your detox game, this episode is packed with real, actionable health strategies.
