Fasting Recommendations for Longevity

So in general, what I recommend,

and I'll kind of go through the longer fast,

I think the three day water fast, twice a year, is a great time to

just get rid of senescent cells that are aging you quickly,

or cells that are gonna go rogue and become tumors. Get rid of those.

Yeah, so just to be clear, so everybody hears, and we go on record,

we're not talking about doing this every month. No.

This is something that is used as a targeted tool That's right.

to support the body and longevity.

And it sounds like you're also pulling

together a lot of the research from individuals, like you mentioned,

Dr. Walter Longo, who's been on this podcast before.

So, okay, great. So twice a year.

Twice a year, January,

September, fantastic times to go into. January and September.

Yeah, I choose those because we

typically go off and overindulge in the holidays and we overindulge in the summer.

So depending on what hemisphere you're living in,

that's typically the way I choose those two.

So, but twice a year, you're good with that.

I mean, there would be no other reason to do that other than if you had a

chronic serious disease and you would wanna be coached through when to keep doing

consecutive long fasts.

The 48 hour fast, once a quarter,

if you have a mental health challenge,

if you are depressed and anxious and

you're looking for a variety of tools to help you boost your moods,

then do a 48 hour fast once a quarter. You'll be totally great.

36 hour fast,

that's really there for the person who's just so frustrated and cannot lose weight.

So if you're really struggling with weight loss, throw a once a month,

throw a 36 hour fast at it and see how it unsticks your weight.

Then the 24 hours and below,

I have people vary those in a weekly,

depending on where they are in their cycle, but one 24 hour fast a week can

be really miraculous.

Those are the one meal a day people do it once a week, don't do it every day.

And then most people

are doing either a combination of

something between 12 hours and 17 hours on a regular basis,

except the week before their cycle.
