In 2019 Bills tells us he was enjoying the best year of health in his life. After climbing a mountain, he suffered a major health scare on the descent down from the summit and was rushed to a local hospital. After a series of tests that didn’t give him many answers, Bill then found that he had some intolerances to certain foods which he explains in detail.  Based on his initial research and learning, Bill found his way to intermittent fasting he then asked some friends that he knew that did IF, for some more information. Three friends referred him to Gin Stephens and her book “Delay Don't Deny”.  He got the audiobook and listened to it, and then immediately also then read Gins other book “Fast Feast Repeat”. He then committed to clean fasting after initially not clean fasting form the start and found it was instantly better. He explains he was then hooked on intermittent fasting.
