The Fast Life wasn't something I planned to teach. But it became the point of conversation daily — with clients, with women in my community, with people watching the shift happen in me and wanting to understand it for themselves. So I decided to help everyone I can, in the most effective way possible.
My fasting practice grew out of decades of dieting and calorie counting — and a point where I simply refused to keep doing it that way. I want no part of diet culture or its constructs, so if you're here for a quick-win weight loss fix or the latest fad, this isn't the place. What I offer instead is what actually worked: six years of researching, experimenting, reading the science, listening to my body, and having hundreds of honest conversations with women who were ready for something real.
This is a lifestyle. Built slowly, lived fully, and grounded in what your body actually needs — not what the diet industry wants to sell you.
The Fast Life
A Shift Life Extension
People kept asking me what I was doing. Not just about the weight. About the energy. The clarity. The calm. This page is the long answer.
As someone who is vehemently ‘anti diet culture’ - being a Fasting Coach was not in the plan - but my clients were curious, then engaged and then insisted I created a full programme to share with them.
It grew out of my own practice. After six years of fasting, after 25 years of dieting, I learnt the difference between the two. Through experimenting, reading the science, listening to my body, and having hundreds of conversations with people who were watching the shift happen in me and wanting to understand it for themselves.
It started showing up in my personal life, then my professional life and then my coaching sessions. Women weren’t just asking about mindset or career or relationships — they were asking about how I had so much energy, I ate, how I moved through my day, how I managed energy across the demands of everything I carry. The fasting question came up so often that it became its own conversation. And then its own framework. And then its own guide.
The Fast Life — Shift into Fasting is the result of that. But before we get to the ebook, let me tell you what I actually know.
What Six Years of Fasting Taught Me
It’s not about restriction. It’s about reset.
The way fasting is sold — particularly to women — is almost entirely wrong. It’s framed as deprivation, discipline, willpower - another diet. A way to shrink. That is not what fasting is, and it is not why it works. Fasting is a biological reset. A way of giving your body the conditions it needs to repair, regulate, and renew itself. When you understand it that way, everything changes.
Women’s bodies require a different approach.
The majority of fasting research has been conducted on men. The protocols that dominate the conversation — 16:8, OMAD, extended fasting — were largely built around male physiology. Women’s hormonal cycles, particularly around ovulation and the luteal phase, require a more nuanced approach. I learned this the hard way. And then I learned how to work with it rather than against it.
The science is extraordinary.
Dr Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for his work on autophagy — the process by which your body breaks down and recycles damaged cells. Fasting is one of the most powerful triggers for autophagy we know of. Dr Pradip Jamnadas’s clinical research on insulin resistance and metabolic health gave me the framework to understand what was actually happening in my body. This is not wellness trend. This is biology. Dr Mindy Pelz’s work on cycle-syncing fasting protocols changed how I eat across the month.
The spiritual dimension is real.
Fasting has been a spiritual practice across cultures, religions and traditions for thousands of years — not because it was fashionable, but because it works on a level that goes beyond the physical. Clarity of mind. Heightened awareness. A different relationship with hunger, craving, and need. I came to fasting through health. I stayed because of what it opened up in me beyond that.

Want to Go Deeper?
The ebook is where many women start. But fasting — like all of the work within Shift Life — lands differently when it’s coached. If you want to take what you read and apply it specifically to your body, your cycle, your lifestyle, and your goals, that’s what the Shift Life coaching programme is built for.
The health pillar of M.A.R.C.H explores all of this — fasting, nervous system regulation, breathwork, movement, and the daily practices that make everything else possible.
