I’m Michael Gonzales, an airline pilot and lifelong health and wellness enthusiast. Years ago, during a layover, a fellow pilot introduced me to intermittent fasting — and it completely changed my life. That conversation became the spark for creating The Ping Diet, my simple, sustainable approach to fasting that helps busy people get real results without overcomplicating the process.

As the founder of OPA Nutrition, I’ve made it my mission to design science-backed supplements that make fasting easier, fight cravings, and boost energy. This blog is where I share my knowledge, tips, and tools to help you succeed — whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your fasting to the next level.

My goal is to simplify health so it fits into real life — no gimmicks, no extreme restrictions, just proven strategies and the right tools to help you feel your best every day. Whether you’re here for guidance, motivation, or new ideas, you’re in the right place.
