Fasting Metabolic Health is an educational publication. It is not a medical practice, and its content is not individualized medical advice.

Information on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for advice from a physician or other qualified health professional who knows your medical history.

Fasting, ketogenic diets, major dietary changes, exercise programs, supplements, and changes in body weight or blood glucose can affect health conditions and medications. Some people should not fast or follow a ketogenic diet without direct medical supervision. This can include people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, people with a history of eating disorders, children and adolescents, and people taking medications that can cause low blood sugar, dehydration, blood-pressure changes, or other complications.

Always discuss significant dietary or fasting changes with an appropriate healthcare professional, particularly if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication. Never delay seeking professional care because of something you read on this website.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
