About FreeFasting.com | Our Mission & Team

Our Mission

FreeFasting.com was created with a simple but powerful mission: to provide accessible, evidence-based information on intermittent fasting as a lifestyle practice, free from hyperbole, medical claims, or commercial bias.

We believe that intermittent fasting can be a transformative approach to eating that enhances wellbeing for many people. However, we also recognize that the quality of information available online is often compromised by sensationalism, oversimplification, or commercial interests.

Our goal is to fill this gap by offering comprehensive, nuanced resources that acknowledge both the benefits and challenges of fasting practices, present a balanced view of the current scientific understanding, and emphasize practical implementation strategies that can be sustained long-term.

Above all, we're committed to helping individuals make informed decisions about their own health practices through education rather than prescription.

Our Core Values

Evidence-Based Approach

We prioritize information grounded in scientific research, clearly distinguishing between established findings, emerging research, and anecdotal experiences. When the evidence is inconclusive, we say so.

Balanced Perspective

We present both benefits and limitations of fasting approaches, acknowledging that different methods work for different individuals and that no single approach is universally optimal.

Accessibility

We believe quality information should be freely available to all, regardless of financial resources. Our content is designed to be accessible across different education levels, cultural backgrounds, and technical abilities.

Practical Implementation

Theory alone isn't enough. We focus on providing actionable strategies for sustainable lifestyle integration, recognizing the challenges of real-world implementation.

Individual Respect

We respect that each person's health journey is unique. We provide information to empower personal choice rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions.

Transparency

We're transparent about the limitations of current knowledge, our content development process, and the distinction between scientific findings and personal experiences.
