Unscripted Pivots: Inspiring Stories from WTF [Women That Flourish]

In this episode of Unscripted Pivots, we welcome the incredible Laurie Lewis, founder of Fast Forward Wellness. Laurie shares her personal journey of overcoming weight gain, brain fog, and low energy to discover the transformative power of intermittent fasting. We explore how this simple yet effective approach can help anyone—regardless of gender—regain energy, sharpen focus, and feel their best, all without the stress of restrictive diets.

Laurie’s insights are practical, science-backed, and, best of all, relatable. With humor and real-life experiences, we break down the steps to create an eating window that works for you, helping to reset your body’s natural rhythm and boost overall wellness.

Key Takeaways:
  • More Than Weight Loss: Intermittent fasting is about so much more than just shedding pounds—it’s a lifestyle shift that improves energy, mental clarity, and overall health.
  • Start Simple: Laurie shares easy ways to ease into fasting, starting with a 12-hour fasting window, then gradually adjusting to an 8-hour window over time.
  • The Healing Power of Fasting: Learn how intermittent fasting can reduce inflammation, promote fat burning, and even help with conditions like insulin resistance and joint pain.
  • It’s Not About Deprivation: Laurie explains how fasting helps you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger cues without the need for crash diets or deprivation.
  • For Men and Women: While many women turn to fasting for health benefits, Laurie’s approach works just as well for men, with specific tips for both genders.

What is Unscripted Pivots: Inspiring Stories from WTF [Women That Flourish]?

If you’re looking to find connectivity in the female experience, you’ve found the right podcast. Unscripted Pivots (UP) takes a deep dive into how women can masterfully chart their lives only to end up in the most unexpected places. "Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans" and the most unpredictable detours, our “WTF” experiences, can shape us in ways we never dreamed possible. My podcast invites women to redefine “WTF”, calling them “Women That Flourish” moments instead. I’m your host, Danielle Sprouls, aka "The WTF* Lady", and my mission is to bring you weekly interviews with inspiring stories of women empowerment, identity loss, entrepreneurship, leadership, mental health, and more. We’re here to celebrate a woman's adaptability, resilience, and perseverance. No matter our unexpected detours, we can always move UP.
