How a 3 Day Water Fast Prepared Me for 3 Evacuations in 36 Hours

This video was recorded live on Thursday January 9th during the Pacific Palisades and LA fires in January 2025.

As I share this video, I want to acknowledge the immense devastation caused by the recent LA fires. While I am deeply impacted by what I’ve experienced, I recognize that many others in the Palisades and surrounding areas have been hit even harder- losing their homes, belongings, and loved ones.

This video is not about seeking sympathy for me; it’s a raw and vulnerable moment as I process the trauma from this event. I’m currently experiencing the aftermath of the fires, including PTSD, but my focus here is on the community and how we can come together to support those who have been most affected.

We are actively working to provide support through trusted nonprofits to aid those in need which I’ll link below.

Please, let’s keep this space focused on helping and healing, and refrain from political discussions. This is about coming together to make a positive impact in light of this tragedy for LA.
Thank you for your understanding and for your willingness to support those who need it most.

Dr Mindy, I was one of the people who shared with Hay House to release this message publicly. This talk moved me in ways I can’t explain. It is your TedTalk and your manifesto. It’s your masterpiece. I am so glad you are still here with us and so very heartbroken for you and everyone impacted by this horrible tragedy. For you to show up for us in the face of this challenge is beyond amazing. With love from CT. ❤

They don’t teach you how to eat when you’re diagnosed with cancer. I was told to eat whatever I could stomach when undergoing chemo. That was 2018. The cancer returned on the other side in 2023 and I had a second mastectomy but still no diet advice. I’m so grateful that I found this channel and Dr Mindy. Have now done 2 3day water fasts and 1 5day water fast. I’m definitely on the right path now but still not sure if I got onto it in time. I’m passing this on to as many of my friends and family as I can. Thanks Dr Mindy. I’m praying for you and everyone who’s affected by these fires 🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is one of the most inspiring talks I’ve ever heard in my 64 years. You are truly amazing! After completing this 3-day fast, I feel profoundly transformed. While I’ve fasted before, this experience has solidified fasting as a core part of my wellness plan moving forward.

I choose to not do the water fast as planned. We'd a snowstorm coming our way (living in Sweden) and I felt the need to stay strong being alone and responsible for my safety and my house. But I watched your videos and OMG they've changed my life. I lost my father a year ago and had then had more then 10 years of taking care of my elderly parents. First my mother dying from LBD and then my father getting Alzheimers. I've been so deep down in my black hole I didn't know how to get back to a normal life again. Something happened while watching and listening to you. I was snapped out of my misery and I can not really explain how. I'm back among the living. I'll start doing water fasts tomorrow to keep my brain and mind healthy. I want to thank you for showing up and being real in one of your worst times. It brought me healing even without fasting. ♥️🙏

It’s ironic that this video popped up today. I am 3 days into a water fast and everyone thinks I’m crazy for not eating. I have done a few fast in the past but obviously it’s not easy, physically or emotionally when you have no support. This video was very inspiring for me.

I'm 63 hours into a 3 day water fast and your talk was so inspiring! Thank you for all you do and I'm so grateful that you got out safe and went left!

[LIFEinTHIShouse]

We are SO grateful you took care of yourself and your safety! You are a gift to all of us, Mindy! Glad you are here BEING YOU!

[TannyTanChannel]

Dr. Mindy I'm for sorry for the loss of your home but glad that you're safe and still here with us. Thank you for all of your amazing work. I'm very appreciate. I did 3 days water fast and felt so amazing. Thank you

We changed our food habits for our health and healed our bodies and now we realize how important an example we are setting for our grandkids 💕 we are praying for you and Southern CA 🙏

[danielleleyshon-mo]

Every single word you just spoke was so impactful, I literally felt each word throughout my core...choking back tears. You are such a light of hope in so many people's lives and embracing this knowledge you've given us can help us
face the scary stuff going on around us in this crazy beautiful world.

Us getting healthy, is putting the air mask on yourself 1st so you can then help others and we can show others a better way through example and living proof.

Thank you for all you do, im so sorry for the horror going on around L.A, im glad you are safe and im sure you are overwhelmed but your kind soul is shining through even brighter during this madness.

❤💔🙏
