Flexible Fasting:
A 3-Week, Practitioner-Led Reset for Your Gut, Energy and Metabolism
A clinically grounded introduction to intermittent fasting — a powerful tool for digestive rest, healthier insulin levels and better metabolic flexibility. Three levels, your pace, no pushing.
★ Starts Monday 11th May ★ 3 weeks, self-paced ★ Live Q&A call included ★ 7-day money-back guarantee
YOU'RE NOT WRONG TO BE CONFUSED
Fasting advice is everywhere. Most of it sounds like punishment.
Open any podcast, Instagram feed or health blog right now and intermittent fasting is everywhere. One expert tells you 20 hours or nothing. Another says breakfast is sacred. Someone’s cousin is doing a 5-day dry fast and “never felt better.”
No wonder most people either freeze — or jump in at a level that’s far too much for where their body is at.
If you’ve tried fasting before and it ended with raging hunger, low energy, a gut flare or a general sense of “this is not for me” — the problem wasn’t you. It was the protocol.
And if you’ve been told fasting might support your gut, your insulin or your energy but you’re nervous it’ll backfire — that caution is fair. Most fasting information online isn’t written with sensitive bodies in mind.
There’s a gentler, more flexible way to do this. And it works.
From the desk of Nutritionist, Lisa Snowdon
The Shift
Fasting isn't about restriction. It's about giving your body a break.
Flexible Fasting is a 3-week, self-paced program built around one simple idea: when you give your digestive system structured periods of rest, your body gets to do the work it can't do while it's constantly processing food.
Shorter, consistent fasting windows — 12 to 16 hours for most people — are where the real gut and metabolic benefits show up. No extremes. No grinding through hunger. No rigid rules.
Digestive Rest
Your gut stops working for hours at a time. For anyone with IBS, SIBO, bloating or sluggish digestion, this is where the first wins often show up.
Healthier Insulin Response
When you stop grazing, your insulin gets a chance to come down properly between meals. Evidence suggests this may help with steady energy, fewer cravings, and long-term metabolic health.
A Cellular Spring Clean
Fasting switches on a process called autophagy — your body's way of clearing out old, damaged cells and recycling what's useful. Think of it as your cells cleaning house.
Metabolic Flexibility
Your body remembers how to switch between using food and stored fuel. For most people, that means more stable energy, fewer afternoon crashes, and a steadier mood.
None of this requires extreme windows. The longest fast I support in this program is 36 hours — and only at the advanced level. Everything else works with windows you can build into a normal life.
Informed by the clinical work of Dr Datis Kharrazian, Dr Mindy Pelz and Ben Azadi — and grounded in what I've seen with my clients over 16 years in practice.
That said — this isn't for everyone. Here's who it's built for.
Who It's For
Is Flexible Fasting right for you?
This program isn't for everyone — and it's not designed to be. Here's how to know if it's a fit for where you're at right now.
✓ This is for you if…
- You're curious about intermittent fasting but don't know where to start
- You've tried fasting before and found it too rigid, too extreme, or just not right for your body
- You're an existing gut health client looking for the next step after your gut repair work
- You're an existing metabolism client wanting to take energy and metabolic flexibility further
- You want to give your digestive system structured rest without overhauling your whole life
- You want clinically grounded guidance, not generic internet advice
- You're ready for a self-paced program with built-in support (Live Q&A call in the first 2 weeks)
This may not be the right fit if…
- You're pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive — book a 1:1 instead so we can keep your nutrition focused on supporting your body through this stage
- You have a current or past eating disorder — fasting can trigger old patterns, and 1:1 support is a safer place to start
- You're managing type 1 diabetes or taking insulin or blood sugar medication — you need direct GP and practitioner guidance, not a self-paced program
- You're in an acutely stressed or unwell phase — recovery from illness, major life event, or surgery deserves a different approach
- You're under 18
- You're looking for a fast weight-loss hack — that's not what this is
If any of the items on the right apply to you, please don’t enrol — book a 1:1 with me instead and we’ll find the right path for you.
Sound like a fit? Doors are open.
THE 3 LEVELS
Three levels. Your pace. No pushing.
Flexible Fasting is built around three levels so you can start exactly where your body is at — and move up only when (and if) you’re ready. Most people see meaningful results at Level 1. A few choose to go further.
Level 1 - Beginner
12:12 fasting window
The easy start. A 12-hour overnight fast with a 12-hour eating window — often simply finishing dinner by 7pm and waiting until 7am to eat again.
Gentle and sustainable for almost anyone, including sensitive guts. This is where the first signs of digestive rest, steadier energy and better sleep often show up.
Level 2 - Intermediate
14:10 or 16:8 window
For those who’ve done 12:12 comfortably and are ready to extend the overnight fast a little further. Often this looks like finishing dinner at 7pm and having breakfast around 9 or 11am.
Evidence suggests this is where many of the metabolic and insulin benefits begin to deepen. Still very workable around family, work and real life.
Level 3 - Advanced
16:8 or 18:6 window
For those with established intermittent fasting experience who want to explore longer windows — up to a maximum of 36 hours, used occasionally and mindfully, not daily.
Not “better” than Level 1 — just where some bodies naturally want to go after laying the foundation. Always optional, never required.
Not sure which level is yours?
Start at Level 1. Always. You can move up whenever you’re ready — or stay at Level 1 the whole three weeks and still see real benefits. There’s no prize for fasting longer.
The point isn’t how long you fast. It’s how consistently and how kindly you fast.
The longest fast supported in this program is 36 hours, at Level 3 only. If you’re on medication, managing a chronic condition, or unsure whether fasting is safe for you, please check with your GP or book a 1:1 with me before starting.

Meet Your Practitioner
Who am I to be telling you all this?
My name is Lisa Snowdon and I’m a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner specialising in IBS support, SIBO treatment, digestive health and sustainable weight loss.
Over the last 16 years I’ve worked with hundreds of clients — and in the last few years, more and more of them have arrived at our sessions asking the same question:
“Should I be doing intermittent fasting? And if so, how?”
Here’s what I’ve learnt…
The people who get the best results from fasting aren’t the ones going hardest. They’re the ones who start gently, listen to their body, and build fasting into their life in a way that’s actually sustainable.
That’s exactly how Flexible Fasting is designed — informed by the clinical work of practitioners like Dr Datis Kharrazian, Dr Mindy Pelz and Ben Azadi, and grounded in what I’ve seen work (and not work) with real clients over 16 years in practice.
No extremes. No punishment. Just a clear, clinically grounded path to using fasting as a gentle reset tool for your gut, your energy, and your metabolism.

What clients say about working with Lisa
Verified Google reviews from clients in my IBS, SIBO and metabolism programs.
Flexible Fasting is brand new — these reviews reflect my broader work with clients over the last 16 years.
★★★★★
Working with Lisa was the best decision I made this year. Before working with Lisa I had no energy and was really struggling health wise. I was sceptical that changing my diet would change my energy levels but I was willing to try anything.
I couldn’t believe how quickly my energy and mood improved. After 3 months working together I am like a new woman.
“I HAVE ENERGY again — and as a bonus I also lost 6.5kg!”
I recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to feel healthy, improve their energy & well-being and learn how to make great food choices.
