- Her books offer insights into staying fit and healthy for a lifetime...especially pertinent for authors, writers and creatives.
- Gin's Transition from Teacher to IF (Intermittent Fasting) Expert:

- Personal weight struggle until her late 40s, leading to IF as a sustainable solution.
- Lost over 80 pounds since 2014 and has maintained weight, even through menopause.

- IF is not about what to eat, but when to eat.
- It taps into fat stores for energy, improving metabolic flexibility.
- Gin suggests starting with an eight-hour eating window, like 12 pm to 8 pm.
- Benefits of IF for Creatives:
- Fasting leads to ketone production, providing mental clarity and enhanced focus.
- Autophagy during fasting contributes to cellular cleanup and overall health.
- Writers and creatives can benefit from prolonged focus and energy from IF practices.

- Gin authored her latest book while fasting, leveraging mental clarity from ketosis.
- "Cleanish" promotes mostly clean eating and living, stemming from her son's reactions to food additives.
- Clean Fasting Goals:
- Aim to keep insulin levels low to encourage fat burning.
- Avoid anything sweet-tasting during fasting to prevent insulin spikes.
- Stick to plain water, black coffee, and plain tea to maintain autophagy.
- Gin's Impact and Community:
- Hundreds of thousands have been influenced by her books and millions by her podcasts.
- Encourages others to share their stories, create content, and engage in the IF lifestyle.
