About FreeFasting

Evidence-based information on intermittent fasting as a lifestyle practice

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

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.

Practical Implementation

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