The Truth About Fasting, Water Fasting & Autophagy with Loren Lockman

This week on the Colman Power Organic Fitness Podcast, I’m joined by Loren Lockman all the way from the USA for a fascinating conversation about fasting, water fasting, autophagy, nutrition and the body's ability to heal. Loren has spent decades working with fasting and has worked with more than 16,000 clients from 156 countries. We get into what actually happens when you stop eating, what autophagy is, why Loren believes it really starts to become significant beyond the 16–18 hour mark, how the body moves from glucose to glycogen and then towards fat and ketones, and why he believes longer fasting can create some remarkable results. We also talk about breaking a fast, whole foods versus juices, protein, fruit, coconut water, our evolutionary history and why Loren believes humans are tropical animals regardless of where we live. It’s a fascinating and definitely thought-provoking conversation, with some views that I know will challenge the conventional way of thinking about health and nutrition. Loren also shares some incredible stories from his clients and explains why he believes fasting is incredibly powerful — but also why it has to be done properly. A unique one this week. Enjoy!
