This is the true treasure of our site, we are committed to share our deep respect for science, for the researchers, for the ability to ask a question and investigate to find answers. We will gather and make sense of studies that help us progress our understanding of fasting, health, food, technology, psychology and more. We don’t have to guess, and we don’t have to rely of fads to make a change in the way we live our lives. Science is an ally and worth a weekly date night of fascination and wonder.
