James Laughlin does a 17-hour daily fast. An expert says it counts as biohacking but warns against overdoing it, notes that ketones suppress appetite, and flags that women need special care. The advice: alternate fasting days and listen to your body.
I intermittent fast every day usually around 17 hour window of fasting and then 7 is my eating window. Is that part of biohacking? Is fasting a part of being a biohacker?
100% now fasting with care is really important so a lot of people get addicted to fasting and we start producing a lot of ketones. Ketones will make us feel not hungry and this is really important especially for women. There's a certain cycles that you're going through that you want to weave in and out of intermittent fasting even for men. So I've actually did this for about a year straight where I was just intermittent fasting. I was malnutrient so when I got a blood test you know I didn't get enough food in those or enzymes in that eating window in that eating window so what I start doing is weaving in and out about two to three days on, you know, one or two days off just whatever feels right. It's really important to listen to your body.
