And she was. In high school, she peaked early and reached the pinnacle of achievements when she won Most Talkative for her high school yearbook. She has lived up to that title with her long storied career in radio and tv broadcasting since shoulder pads were in style (1986). Lisa is a certified health coach, podcast host, a journalist and future TikTok sensation. Her greatest accomplishments? Married to the same man since 1988, mom of three and grandmother to three really cute grandchildren.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:19:39.999383+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lisa-fischer-said-podcast-2008739"},"episode":{"title":"Should You Cycle Keto?

In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast , Lisa sits down with bestselling author Ben Azadi to unpack why staying in ketosis year-round may not be the healthiest strategy. Ben explains metabolic flexibility, how insulin resistance develops, why most Americans are stuck burning sugar instead of fat, and how cycling in and out of ketosis can improve long-term health. They also discuss intermittent fasting, protein needs for women over 40, muscle preservation, GLP-1 medications, autophagy, insulin sensitivity, creatine, and why metabolic health matters more than simply losing weight. Ben shares his practical 5-1-1 Keto Flex protocol , beginner fasting recommendations, and simple strategies anyone can start using to improve hormone health, longevity, and body composition. 👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/ , and follow @lisafischersaid for more.
