In this episode, I share my detailed experience of completing a 72-hour water fast.

From overcoming hunger pains to experiencing a deep sense of mental clarity and cellular health benefits through autophagy, I unpack the stages of the fast and provide insights on how a longer-term fast affects the body. I also discuss the importance of proper preparation and breaking the fast, and offer tips for those interested in trying intermittent fasting.
