Sunlight, Stress & Skipping Dinner: Rethinking Intermittent Fasting with Shana Hussin, RDN
Description
In this eye-opening episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa welcomes back Registered Dietitian and metabolic health expert Shana Hussin, RDN, to dive deep into intermittent fasting, adrenal fatigue, and the surprising truth about morning blood sugar spikes. Shana shares how her years of traditional fasting led to cortisol dysregulation, leptin resistance, and flatlined energy—until she discovered the power of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and meal timing for hormonal balance and optimal metabolism.
You'll learn:
☀️ Why sunrise is your best medicine
⏰ Why skipping dinner instead of breakfast may be the key
💡 How light, not just food, sets your metabolic clock
🧠 The connection between stress, blood sugar, and poor sleep
If you're struggling with 3 a.m. wakeups, perimenopause symptoms, or plateaued fasting results, this episode is your blueprint for metabolic recovery and hormonal harmony.
Keywords: intermittent fasting, adrenal fatigue, cortisol, leptin resistance, blood sugar regulation, circadian rhythm, metabolic health, insulin resistance, women's health, sleep disruption, hormone balance, meal timing.
