Turns out, drinking regular water during a prolonged fast might actually be counterproductive because you're loading your system with deuterium at exactly the wrong time. Chapters:05:30 - When Your Mitochondria Hit The Brakes07:17 - The Hidden Traffic System Around Every Cell13:00 - Why Fat Fueled Diets Change Everything16:21 - The Water That Supercharges Healing24:24 - Clearing The Biggest Block To Recovery33:37 - How Sunlight Turns On Your Energy Dr. Davelaar shares data from 32 years of clinical use showing that people who cycle deuterium depleted water alongside their treatment see their life expectancy increase by three to five times compared to standard care alone.  Listen and learn how this simple shift in the water you drink could change everything about how your body heals. Connect with guest: https://drpetrad.com/Buy Deuterium depleted water here: https://www.drinklitewater.com/Which Fast Is Right for You? - Take the FREE QUIZ:https://www.whichfastisrightforyou.com/Join Dr. Katie for a three-day guided reset to slow down, listen to your body, and practice a more loving relationship with yourself—with daily live calls, expert support, and community alongside you: https://tinyurl.com/y5cm5wtjFollow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
