Fast and Fabulous – Details, episodes & analysis

Meet Shana Hussin...Wife, Mom of 3, Registered Dietician Nutritionist, Author of the Amazon best seller, Fast to Heal and Host of the Fast to Heal Podcast.  Shana is a Weight Loss Resistance Specialist & focuses on insulin & leptin resistance as well as high cortisol and circadian dysfunctions as factors of weight issues.  

Shana worked as a dietitian and nutrition therapist for 15 years in the conventional medical field prior to her young son falling ill with a severe and chronic digestive disorder in 2016. Upon diagnosis, she was told by several doctors nutrition had no bearing on his illness, and he would need lifelong medications to manage his debilitating symptoms.​ She began searching for the root cause of many chronic disease states.

Confused and frustrated, Shana left work in conventional medicine. Through relentless research and trial and error, she healed her son with the help from Australian doctors and an unconventional antibiotic therapy. She had to look beyond the "standard of care" and question what she was being told. As a mother, she knew what was at the root cause of her son's illness, and innately knew that if the interference was removed, he could heal.

Throughout the process, Shana gained extensive knowledge in holistic health and natural healing approaches, including the hormonal key to burning fat rather than storing it. She discovered that if obesity and diseases stemming from insulin resistance can be traced to a cause which is nutritional, then they can be reversed with nutrition therapy!

Meet Star McEuen from Arizona!  Star is a 41yo mom of SIX and now grandmother, wife, Fasting Coach, Influencer, Author and downright badass.  Most Star's life was focused on her weight- she always wanted to be “skinny and/or fit”.  She had tried every “diet” out there to lose weight, did all the at home workouts, went to the gym, became a personal trainer herself, hired a nutritionist...and they all lead to the same place, failure, disappoint and defeat. She turned 35 years old and no matter what she did to lose weight before, nothing was working this time and the weight just pilled on. Star's last recorded weight was in May of 2019 at 210lbs. She was at the darkest point in her life - depressed and deteriorating health, tired and felt out of options. 

Then in August of 2019, she found intermittent fasting (IF) through her high school best friend who had been sharing about her IF journey on social media.  She read Delay, Don't Deny by Gin Stephens and started with a clean fast aiming for a 19 hour fast and 5 hour eating window practicing an OMAD (One Meal A Day) lifestyle. By February 2020 she had reached her first goal weight of 140lbs. In April of 2020 she started implementing one "meal-less" day a week and by August of 2020 (one year of IF) she had lost a total of 81lbs and has maintained that loss every since!

IF has taught Star to be mindful of everything that goes into her body and to eat for nutrition and purpose, it has taught her to think nutrients NOT calories. She is no longer a prisoner to food, food is not the enemy -  too much circulating insulin is the problem. IF helps us regulate All our hormones and helps us learn how to trust ourselves around food again.

IF truly is THE health plan with a side effect of weight loss -  everyone should be an intermittent faster whether they have weight to lose or just for the health benefits alone!

Jalene Ellis Weigand is a 53-year year old wife, preschool teacher, nanny, life coach, owner of a small  natural body product company and a mom of many rescued animals. To keep herself in shape over the years, she tried all the fad diets and popular exercise programs. After so many years of  drastic calorie restrictions and adrenal fatigue from exercises, she found herself no longer able to maintain a healthy body. After experiencing the hardships of 2020, and then going through menopause...she found herself living in a body she didn’t even recognizes anymore. She was in complete denial of the amount of weight she had gained by hiding in stretchy yoga pants and the forgiving fabric of maxi skirt. 

After seeing some pictures of herself posted on social media, she could no longer hide and decided it was time for her to find her way back to health. She hadn’t stepped on a scale in years and decided it was time to take a look. She was surprised to see a 35 pound gain since the last time she had weighed, which felt like a lot on her 5’3 size body. It definitely was time to find some answers she decided.

After getting no answers from her primary physician, she did a deep dive into the holistic and integrative health care system. She found a team of women who were able to find the root cause of her weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and low energy. She was working with a local obgyn who had a podcast on women’s health, this podcast had a guest, Laurie Lewis, who is an intermittent fasting leader.  That day Jalene started her intermittent fasting journey. She found Gin Stephens, Dr. Jason Fung, and Graeme Currie.  She successfully has lost all of her menopausal weight gain, reduced her inflammation, and is now wearing the same size of clothes she wore in her 20’s. Clean intermittent fasting is Jalene’s forever lifestyle as she’s approaching her two year fasting anniversary and wants to share her story in hopes of helping other women who feel at a loss after menopause.
