Join me and find out as I share about my experience there in February 2023 and talk about the process, what I went through, and what I learned.

Sounds like you were an ideal patient! Great story and presentation.

joyce jay here. Thanks for this info, Jennifer. My husband and I are scheduled for True North water fasting starting 16 April 2023. 

In our initial consultation with Dr. Goldhammer, my husband (soon to be 64 y.o.with no need for weightless, but has a diagnosis of MS), was recommended to do 3-5 days water fast. And I, (74 y.o. 166 lbs, no diagnoses, but still feeling low energy and achy a lot of the time) was told up to 14 days of water fasting would be best for me. We changed our diet to plant based well over a year ago. Dr. Goldhammer told us this will make our fasting a lot easier.

I'm nervous, but look forward to this experience. We'll celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary while we're there fasting together. We thought this will be an excellent way to kickoff the next decade of our marriage!

Wow, so comprehensive! <3 Can't wait to watch this. Thank you for documenting your journey!!! I also remember in the later days waking up feeling my heartbeat very strongly. They call it "cardiac awareness." It was a freaky feeling for sure, and it made me especially glad the docs there could make sure all was okay and reassure me that was a common experience!

I'm at TrueNorth now, day 9 water fast. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your heart, experience & thoughts! My goal is a 40-day fast, but it really is a week-to-week assessment since our bodies and healing processes dictate how it goes. I'm so grateful to be here - it is nurturing, a sanctuary ❤. Thank you again!
How are you finding eating this lifestyle a year later?
In harmony,
Carrie...
Seems like I heard you say you're in AZ? I'm in Tucson and SO grateful to be here during these summer months 🥰!

Hi Jennifer👋 I was so excited to hear you were able to fast with hypothyroidism and hashimotos.
Did it help

Feel like I will need to save and postpone until Nov/Dec to increase the time I get off from work... really need this as I have over 40 lbs to loose .. has been 9+ years with no luck ...fingers xd ... this is my last ditch effort
