Why Fasting & Eating Clean Might Be Backfiring for You | Iman Hasan
About this episode
This episode discusses why traditional health advice may not work for everyone, particularly women, and explores the underlying issues affecting health and wellness.
What if the reason you still feel off… isn’t because you’re not trying hard enough, but because the advice you’re following was never designed for your body? In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Iman Hasan to unpack one of the most frustrating experiences so many women face: doing everything “right” when it comes to health - eating clean, trying fasting, investing in supplements and still not feeling better. This conversation challenges the idea that more discipline or stricter habits are the answer. Instead, it explores what’s actually happening beneath the surface, from chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to why your body might not be absorbing the nutrients you’re giving it. If you’ve ever felt like your body isn’t responding the way it “should”… this episode will help you understand why and what to focus on instead. What We Cover: * Why fasting doesn’t work the same for every woman and when it can actually make things worse * The hidden impact of stress and being in a constant fight-or-flight state * Why your body might not be absorbing nutrients (even if you’re eating well) * The truth about “healthy eating” and why food quality isn’t what…
