Gin Stephens
Gin Stephens is an author and intermittent-fasting advocate whose books focus on fasting, weight management, and lifestyle change. She is best known for Fast. Feast. Repeat. and Delay, Don’t Deny, with Fast. Feast. Repeat. becoming a New York Times and USA Today bestseller and helping grow a global community with hundreds of thousands of members.
Biography & Author's Journey
Gin Stephens came to writing through education rather than through medicine or journalism. She earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1990, a master’s degree in natural sciences in 1997, and a doctorate in gifted and talented education in 2009; she later completed the Institute of Integrative Nutrition’s health coach training program in 2019. Before becoming known as an author in the wellness space, she spent twenty-eight years teaching elementary school and also worked with adult learners. That background helps explain the practical, instructional character of her work: she has consistently positioned herself less as a disciplinarian than as a teacher translating complex ideas into everyday routines.
