Coaching 'in the trenches' tools and strategies for lasting transformation

Dear Friend,
 
A few years ago, I went to a friend’s birthday party.

It was a warm summer day and we sat on his back patio. A friend of mine was doing intermittent fasting while everyone else snacked on chips, crackers and burgers. 

​
One guy at the party couldn’t believe it. He shook his head in disbelief and asked her: 
“Aren’t You Starving!?”
Her response was priceless.

She simply smiled and said she felt great. She wasn’t ravenous. Or counting down the hours until she could eat. Or ‘toughing it out.’ She was energetic and enjoying the party as much as anyone else (maybe even more so). And while that might seem hard to believe, that’s been my experience with intermittent fasting as well.
My name is Kelan Ern, and as a fitness and nutrition coach over the last 14+ years, I’ve seen countless diets… miracle supplements… and brutal workout programs.

A few of these ‘tools’ have been extremely powerful. Others have worked for certain people. And many have been empty promises leading to disappointment and often embarrassing rebound weight-gain.

​In fact, I’ve come across my fair share of crash diets that were so restrictive they sometimes helped people lose weight initially but then cause them to gain it all back (and more) once they got off them.

Early in my career, it was tricky navigating this terrain and figuring out what really worked. And it didn’t take long to notice there was a… 
Huge Disconnect Between
​Theory and Reality
​Many diets or nutrition approaches sounded ‘logical’ and made sense - but they didn’t create measurable results.

For example, when I was in college for exercise science, I was taught that you keep your metabolism up by eating 6-7 small meals per day. Not three big meals per day.

When I started personal training in 2009, I shared this advice with dozens of private clients and it worked for few. But most people were not successful with it.

And for a long time, I didn’t understand why.
​
It was frustrating because the ‘science’ and nutrition ‘experts’ preached this secret to losing weight. But something was missing. Even today I see fitness professionals share this advice and defend it.  And I can’t help but wonder: 
"How’s That Working For You?"
​It wasn’t until years later that I learned why this small meal approach had huge limitations for weight loss… dropping body fat… digestive health… and energizing your life. And in many cases eating less frequently was much more effective.

That’s why one of the most powerful tools I’ve come back to again… and again is intermittent fasting. It’s one of the most popular yet least understood tools out there.

Some people call it a passing ‘fad diet.’
​Or just a way to cut calories. Or snack less.

However, it does far more.

For me, intermittent fasting has been a natural way of eating that gives me more mental clarity… higher energy levels… and I feel my absolute best doing it. And that’s just a fraction of the benefits that make me believe so strongly in it. 

Truth is, it’s been practiced for thousands of years all the way back to the ancient Greeks. And at the time of writing this there are 1,946 scientific studies on the power of intermittent fasting. In fact, for years researchers have been quietly documenting its impact on the brain… the heart… the gut… metabolism… and much more.

But let me be clear: 
It’s Not a Miracle Cure
It’s not a be-all-end-all solution.

I’ve personally seen this tool help people breakthrough weight-loss plateaus and drop 10…20… even 50+ pounds. But I can’t guarantee that. And frankly, weight-loss is only one reason to wield this powerful tool. There are countless other reasons that support higher energy levels… better metabolism… mental clarity… and much more (as you’ll see shortly).

Frankly, the science behind intermittent fasting is incredible. And for years I’ve only shared this in-depth research with my private coaching clients and occasionally ‘bits and pieces’ in my monthly Mind-Body Breakthroughs newsletter.

But as this approach has grown in popularity, so have the misconceptions around it. Each week new articles and new research pours out on intermittent fasting. Some of which tout it as the next greatest thing, while others say it doesn’t work. Because of that, many people are scratching their heads about what this powerful tool can and cannot do.

​That’s why I’ve decided to put together everything I’ve learned from extensively studying, coaching and practicing intermittent fasting over the last decade – into a powerful program called… 
Intermittent Fasting Dojo

​If I were to give a one-day seminar on intermittent fasting – this would be it. I’ll be sharing all the lessons I’ve learned personally using intermittent fasting… the most common mistakes people make when doing it… and all the incredible discoveries behind how it impacts various systems in the human body.
​
Here’s a sample of what you’ll discover in this crash course: 
  • Exercise less and get better results? One of the fittest, most successful Hollywood actors came out swinging against intermittent fasting until he finally tried it. Then he was amazed that he could spend less time doing cardio… working out in the gym… and get far better results. Page 63.

  • The hunger paradox. Whether it’s late-night cravings… mindlessly snacking while on the road… or nibbling at your desk - hunger can be one of the #1 enemies for weight-loss. Here’s an eye-opening deep dive into what happens. Page 21. 
 
  • The biggest mistakes you can make while fasting. For example, sipping on this low-calorie ‘health drink’ can make you hungrier… mindlessly snack more… and sabotage your fat-burning. Here’s what to do instead. Page 82.
 
  • The difference between cutting calories and intermittent fasting. Critics of intermittent fasting like to say it just makes people eat fewer calories. Or do less late-night snacking. Here’s why it does much more to nourish your body. Page 18.
 
  • The truth about fasting for 24… 36…. even 84+ hours. No, I’m not going to tell you to fast for that long (especially starting out). But once you see the science behind this it can forever shift your mindset about your body’s natural reserves and the fat-burning mechanisms that unlock them. Page 22.
 
  • Strange connection between bacterial infections and food consumption. Works the same way as plants in desolate, drought-ridden environments. Shocking study showed more bacterial infection, inflammation and damage to the gut wall when food was consumed this way. Page 38.
 
  • Scientists discover a hidden ‘sewage system’ in the body. Works like a hydraulic system on a dump truck. In fact, this is why it’s been an unsolved mystery for hundreds of years. Technological breakthrough allows scientists to watch this ‘cleanse’ in real-time. Page 33.
 
  • Worried about losing muscle mass? Here’s the reality about intermittent fasting while putting on lean muscle mass. Plus, here’s how to use it to support your goals for toning or bulking up. Page 56.
 
  • Drink this, quiet down your appetite. Here’s one of my secret weapons for suppressing appetite for hours. While not everyone may need it, it can give you a little edge each day. Plus, it helps with a little extra fat-burning. Just make sure you prepare it the right way. Page 81.
 
  • How intermittent fasting stimulates powerful mind-boosting chemicals. In, fact, studies have found that this brain-boosting chemical helps with... 
Learning… Memory… and Even Slows Aging
Besides intermittent fasting, here are five more science-backed ways to release this powerhouse chemical. For example, one study found this type of exercise boosted it 200-300%! And those who did it for 3 months almost quadrupled their levels. See page 31.
  • Does fasting protect the brain? Surprising research into one of the newest systems in the human body. Massage therapists, craniosacral therapists and bodyworkers have claimed this for years but now the science has finally caught up. Page 33.
 
  • What to do if you feel weak, dizzy or light-headed when you don’t eat for long periods of time. When in doubt, check with a medical professional but here’s one of the most common reasons and how to get your body to ‘metabolically switch’ to burning body fat instead. Page 58.
 
  • The easiest way to get started with intermittent fasting. You’ll learn that fasting, like training for a 5k, comes from gradually going a little further each time. Simply go at your own pace and your body will comfortably adapt and you’ll go further than you ever thought possible.  Here’s how on page 62.
 
  • Start intermittent fasting on ‘easy mode.’ If you question your willpower or struggle to go without eating for even a few hours - here’s the easiest method for getting started comfortably and allow your body to adapt your own pace. You’ll be amazed at how easy it can be when you do it this way. Page 73.
 
  • Should you fast in the morning or evening? One study found that people who fasted this way lost an extra 5lbs… lost more belly fat… and more body fat and had greater energy levels. Here’s an important criteria to help you decide. Page 66.
 
  • The 5 health-boosting pillars of intermittent fasting. This model shows how intermittent fasting is a durable, lasting fitness strategy that goes beyond just weight-loss. Most health articles mention #5 but barely scrape the surface on the other four. Page 24.
 
  • Physical hunger vs. psychological hunger. These are very different animals and both are important considerations when it comes to intermittent fasting – and learning to listen to your body. When you figure this out, instead of feeling like hunger is in charge, you will be. Page 71.
 
  • And much, much more to help you with a… ​
Healthier Body, Healthier Mind
​While intermittent fasting is the main thrust of the program, its impact ripples into other critical systems throughout the body so we’ll also be diving into deeper topics such as… 
  • 2 nasty proteins that gunk up the brain. Here’s the devastating accumulation that happens from the build-up of these protein by-products. Research on these show a connection with cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Page 34.

  • Did you know there are (at least) 13 types of cholesterol? It’s true. This muddies the waters of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol. In fact, one lesser known type is an independent risk factor on its own. Here’s how fasting impacts the different types. Page 46.

  • Power through your day with more mental clarity and without afternoon slumps. Yes, it is possible when you set up your meal schedule this way. And you’ll have peace of mind that your body is hard at work burning body fat too. Starting on page 52.

  • Feed a cold, starve a flu? Here’s an interesting new twist on this common advice. In fact, it may change what you reach for the next time you are laid up in bed or under the weather. Page 39.

  • 2 sneaky limiting beliefs that get in the way of greater health and vitality. Both of these are tightly held (even amongst fitness professionals) and limit our understanding of the human body. When you let go of these it can expand your appreciation for food and what your body can do. Page 28.

  • Enlist your ‘inner housekeeper’. Works by ‘sweeping’ this organ about every 90 minutes. Fasting is one way to let this ‘ally’ do its job and help you feel healthy inside and out. Page 40. 

  • Does fasting support gut health? Here’s a short crash course on understanding fasting and this ‘galaxy in your gut’ and what it can and cannot do. This goes way beyond probiotics and prebiotics. Starts on page 36.

  • 2 kick-start strategies for intermittent fasting.  Here are two easy ways to make this powerful strategy work for you and fit into your lifestyle. Page 62.

  • The ‘Alpha Probiotic’ you’ve never heard of. This strange bacteria has an unusual relationship with your gut wall, supports other good bacteria and may hold the key to a whole host of metabolic conditions – including stubborn weight-gain. Page 39.  

  • You roll out of bed and turn off the alarm. You step into the bathroom and look in the mirror. Believe it or not, here’s what this little morning ritual says about your health beliefs. Page 29.

  • Doctors take their own ‘medicine’ right? Not when it comes to losing weight. An incredible study discovered what doctors actually do when they want to lose weight. And what they commonly recommend to their patients. Page 49.

  • The garden in your gut. This is one of the best ways to grasp the dynamic between your gut, hunger and nourishing different colonies of bacteria. Page 36.

  • Eat less calories than you burn to lose weight, right? Wrong. Here’s why fasting blows this theory out of the water. One landmark study found this ‘eating window’ caused people to lose more weight and body-fat – even though they ate the exact same foods! Page 57.

  • The truth about your body’s ‘recycling system’. Scientific studies have found a ‘shut-down’ in this crucial system is linked to inflammation, altered brain function, creeping weight-gain and low energy. Here’s how bouts of fasting alters its performance. Page 26.

  • ‘Flying by the seat of your pants’ energy. These are those days where you have an enormous rush of energy to put out fires… take care of projects you’ve been putting off… and anything else that’s in your way. Here’s how this high-energy ‘surge’ plays into fasting. Page 21.

  • Neurology professor shares his fasting protocol for supporting heart health. Over the years his cholesterol kept creeping up until finally his doctor sat him down. Instead of trying a traditional western medicine, he decided to give fasting a try. Not only was he blown away by his lab results but he discovered a newfound energy for doing the things he loves. Page 41.

  • Did you know most people eat 16 hours per day? It’s true. Here’s how to comfortably move closer to eating in a way that maximizes fat-burning, energy levels and leaves you more clearheaded. Page 73.

  • 849-word power lesson on mastery. Here’s how two of the highest performers in sports and business have used this to help them climb way beyond their peers. Use it to find your footing in this program and any other educational program you go through. Page 11.

  • You are sitting at your desk when your stomach starts to growl. It’s been an hour or so since lunch. You open your drawer and pull out some crackers. This will calm your cravings, right? Not so fast. Here’s what’s really happening when you bite into those salty crackers. Page 40. 

  • Big appetite? Frequent hunger that used to derail your progress can be transformed into something more subtle that passes quickly and supports you toward greater health and vitality. Not only can this make meals even more satisfying - but mild hunger can become something you no longer fear. Page 71.

  • And much more intermittent fasting and health-boosting wisdom for taking your health and fitness to the next level. 
Before you get started, I have to warn you:
This is not for everyone:
#1: If you are looking for a quick fix or results without taking any action – this is not for you.

I’m going to build a compelling case for why intermittent fasting might be one of the most important (and transformative) practices… and everything I’ve picked up using it for myself and my private coaching clients – but it’s up to you to jump in and put this material into practice.

#2: If you’re looking for a textbook-sized book on intermittent fasting, this is not it.

This is not a tome. This 102-page program is designed to bring you up to speed, expand your mindset on health and help you hit the ground running to bigger and bigger fitness goals. This program is called Intermittent Fasting Dojo for a reason. It’s going to help you gain the skills of intermittent fasting. Not bog you down with theoretical knowledge and complicated science.

But… if you are ready to learn, take action and see for yourself what intermittent fasting can do for you - then get ready for an exciting ride. Get ready to expand your vision for what you can accomplish and how this tool can help you immensely along your fitness journey.
Here's The Offer:

(although in the future that’s easily what it will go for).

If you order today you can get this program for only:

​P.S. When you grab a copy of Intermittent Fasting Dojo today, you’ll also receive a FREE Bonus Report: The Science of Upgrading Your Sweets, Desserts and Delectables

One of the most common questions from private coaching clients is How do you make healthy, delicious recipes that still help you move closer towards your goals? Today there’s an abundance of ‘healthy options’ to make your favorite desserts and treats without sugar. But they are not all created equal. Some are arguably worse than sugar. Some the verdict is still out on. And some are far superior (and even sweeter) than sugar – yet don’t wreak havoc on your waistline and metabolism.

In this 12-page report (June 2022 Mind-Body Breakthroughs), I go in-depth on the most popular sweeteners, my favorite natural sweeteners, healthy dessert choices and much more. Armed with this knowledge you don’t have to cut out your favorite sweets, you can upgrade them instead. That way you can still enjoy them (and how they make you feel). 

It’s yours free when you order Intermittent Fasting Dojo today.

P.P.S When you order today, you'll also receive an additional Bonus Report: How to Do 620 Pushups in a Single Workout

While Intermittent Fasting Dojo is a master class in intermittent fasting and doesn’t go deep on exercise, I decided to provide some support material to help you on the exercise side of fitness as well.

That’s why I’ve included one of the most valuable back-issues of Mind-Body Breakthroughs where I break down one of the most powerful methodologies for consistently building greater strength, endurance and stamina in your workouts. This strategy has been mastered by the best power lifters and elite athletes for decades. Even if you have no interest in lifting heavy or getting better at push-ups – you can use this strategy to take your fitness to higher and higher levels.
