How many hours have you logged in front of a camera in the past year?
Zoom fatigue is a real thing, and the expectation to constantly be available for virtual webcam meetings definitely takes its toll on all of us.
You may be surprised to find out that some of the people who spend the most time on camera, even actors and podcasters, actually don’t enjoy being filmed most of the time.
And joining us on the show today is the wonderful Melanie Avalon, a professional actress, author of “What When Wine” and host of The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast and The Intermittent Fasting Podcast.
This is a fun conversation, and Melanie has a lot of unique perspective—she’s definitely dabbled in the fringes as far as different dietary approaches go. Listen in, we’re chatting about:
- The benefits of intermittent fasting for longevity
- Why The Cookie Diet was a bad idea
- What it’s like to be a morning person versus a night person
- How to color outside the lines when it comes to diet
- What to do about Zoom fatigue
- How to gracefully handle negative feedback and online haters
- And tons more…
Let’s go hang out with Melanie.

Before You Go
Here’s a review for the Wild Challenge mobile app, brand new from us, that came in on the App Store. Brian gives it 5 out of 5 stars and says:
The closest thing to a coach.
This app has me faithfully engaged in my eating like nothing ever has before. Designed around the NYT bestseller The Wild Diet, it lets you pick your priorities and keeps you engaged through the challenges.
It’s complete with shopping lists and recipes. It also helps you track your sleep, water intake and overall condition. And you can sync it to a couple different fitness devices.
Plus the little messages throughout the day really help.
Hey, Brian, thank you so much for this feedback.
We put a lot of effort, especially Alyson, into this new app and getting all these bells and whistles to work.
And one of the things we like as well is that texting back and forth feature and the ability for us to just shoot you a quick message every once in a while. And you can get back in touch with us for immediate feedback without having to go through social media or through emails even.
So we’re really proud of the Wild Challenge app. For those of you who aren’t aware, you can join in from all over the world. We have people

This episode of Fat-Burning Man was brought to you by our family company, Wild Superfoods over at wildsuperfoods.com, and our friends at Eaton Hemp and PaleoValley.
If you haven’t tried a well-formulated, clean CBD tincture or salve yet, it can make a world of difference.
Eaton Hemp’s CBD is one of the very first that’s USDA certified organic, which is especially important when it comes to CBD, since non-organic versions can pack a concentration of heavy metals and pesticides.
Plus their CBD is minimally processed and infused in Eaton Hemp’s own organic hemp seed oil, grown on their farm in upstate New York.
If you’d like to try Eaton Hemp’s organic, full-spectrum CBD for yourself, head on over to EatonHemp.com.
And for a limited time, if you enter the discount code WILD during checkout, you’ll save 20% off storewide.
Eaton Hemp also makes one of my all-time favorite hemp hearts and toasted hemp seeds, so check those out.
You can save on those as well when you use your listener discount.
So, just one more time, it’s EatonHemp.com, and use the coupon code WILD at checkout to get 20% off your order.
Don’t forget to let me know how you like it as well.
And if you’re looking for more clean snacking options, be sure to check out PaleoValley.com.
Almost all of the store-bought meat and jerky options out there are packed with GMOs, soy, corn syrup and possibly worst of all, MSG or monosodium glutamate often disguised under other names like hydrolyzed soy protein, textured protein, yeast extract and dozens of other names.
But with PaleoValley’s 100% grass-fed beef sticks, it’s jerky done right.
The beef is not only grass-fed and grass-finished, but their jerky sticks contain no pesky MSG, they’re also gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO and contain no artificial nitrates or nitrites.
As an added bonus, they’re even naturally-fermented with some gut-friendly probiotics.
And here’s some more good news: since you’re a listener of Fat-Burning Man, right now you can save 15% off your first order from PaleoValley.com by entering coupon code WILD during checkout.
