A weekly group to help fasting stick
IHE Intermittent Fasting Group, presented by Dr. Jerry Lanier
Dr. Jerry Lanier started this group to work on the hard part: keeping up a behavior you chose for yourself. It is a small group built on education, weekly accountability, and consistency.
The next session will be announced on this page.
Knowing what to do and doing it are two different problems
Most people who try intermittent fasting already understand the idea. What breaks down is the follow-through. The group adds three things habit research keeps pointing to: structure, a commitment said out loud, and people who ask about it every week.
A weekly loop, repeated on purpose
Learn and commit
A short session covers one idea about hunger, habits, or slips, and each person states a specific plan for the week.
Fast
In daily life, on your own schedule, with the approach you chose. There is no single required protocol.
Report and reflect
A few notes on what happened, and a look with the group at what helped and what got in the way, without judgment.
Adjust and repeat
Each person changes the timing, the limit, or the setting, and the loop starts again the next week.
Dr. Jerry Lanier
Dr. Lanier is a practicing physician, and this is his group. He started it after seeing the same pattern again and again: people who wanted to fast already knew how, and what they lacked was a way to keep at it. IHE hosts the group and provides the structure around it. No one is claiming proven outcomes yet.

Intermittent fasting is not for everyone
This group offers general education and support for changing habits. It is not individualized medical advice, and it is not a clinical study. Check with a health professional first if any of these apply to you.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have a diagnosed medical condition, including diabetes or a history of disordered eating.
- You take medication affected by food timing or fasting.
- You are under 18, or you have any other health concern relevant to changing your eating pattern.
