Refund and Event Policies

The benefits of intermittent fasting are well documented in modern science.  They include improved memory, blood pressure and resting heart rates, loss of fat, better insulin resistance and improved endurance. The most popular use of intermittent fasting is the 16/8 model where you eat all calories within an 8 hour window per day and then fast the rest of the day.
