Use Fasting To REVERSE YOUR AGE & Prevent Disease! (Fasting For Survival) | Mark Hyman

Fasting is a great way to optimize your health, and it’s more approachable than you might think. It is a free tool that activates all the systems in your body to protect you, heal you, and help you live longer. Fasting can help to reduce inflammation, brain fog, and insulin resistance. It can also increase energy and bone density and activate autophagy, which is the process of cleaning out damaged cells.

In this episode of my new Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the many benefits of fasting. We also talk about the different types of fasting so you can determine if one is right for you.

Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30+ million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.

I'm currently on day 65 of a 100 day juice fast. I'm a avid faster, who has lost over 120lbs, healed my heart disease, fatty liver disease, arthritis and hormone imbalance. I had a stroke at 31yrs old, and was told I would need to take medication for the rest of my life. I take no pharmaceutical drugs, only herbs. Fasting has literally saved my life.

I’ve been practicing 36-48 hours fasting on weekends for the last 8 months.My blood work this week amazed me ..
Cholesterol dropped from 139 to 114 with the first 4 fasting, now it’s 88. Triglycerides dropped from 95 to 43 .
But what amazed the doctor the most was my ALT : 8 months ago the doctor asked if I drink often because my liver was showing some damage, since I don’t drink he diagnosed me with non alcoholic fatty liver, ALT was 31 and dropped to 17 .!!!!
All that with no medication, only water fasting

Don’t forget to show gratitude while you’re fasting 🙏🙏 don’t just do it for the weight !!

[missednoahsarc]

I love fasting! It's not about not eating. It's about letting your body operate while your digestive system isn't.

I learned more from this guy and improved my health than from listening to my doctors.

[akferren]

I’m 52 but I’m really 35.. fast about 20 hrs every day for years and I feel awesome

[tomekasmith]

Fasting has changed my life completely! I had a ton of inflammation and now inflammation is reduced tremendously!!

[mikeblack]

So I have adopted biblical fasting so what that means is I prey while fasting and I just thank God for everything I have or if I have a problem or a health issue I prey while fasting that is a way to deny yourself to God and put him first and he will answer your prayers so what I do for example is maybe my dinner is at 7 then done eating by 8 so from 8 pm with no snacks untill noon next day so there is 16 hrs so then at noon I will have a lil lunch then fast again untill dinner at 7 pm so that is a total of 22 hrs fasting and preying and once you get into this type of habit just watch how your body heals itself and just watch how God will work in your life and heal you from things you are suffering from, God bless all who reads and adopts this Amen

I was told I would be in a wheelchair if I stop taking medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis! I stopped! Changed my diet and intermittent fasting has changed my life…not just diet emotional stress…. No cravings for sugar! Yay!

At age 60 I looked 70. Age spots on my face and body, 50 pounds overweight, sick with high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, gout, joint pain… Now at age 65 after 3 years of low carb/Keto with intermittent fasting and fasting days, I look 50-55 years old. I lost 50 pounds and am down to a 32” waist, at 6’0” and I am now at 180 pounds. She lost 35 lbs. We totally cleared out our fridge and pantry, getting rid of all processed foods and oils. We use only coconut, avocado, olive and MCT oils, collagen powder, some supplements, like cod liver oil, and a variety of D, K, E, B- Complex… No more bread, pasta, or high starch vegetables. We buy whole natural foods and enjoy cooking healthy and wholesome meals. I do the cooking. We feel good and exercise regularly, and our sexuality has skyrocketed.

Fasting truly works and no more junk food . I have reversed type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, no more high blood pressure or cholesterol, lost weight and felt great, all achieved in 14months. Then yesterday was diagnosed with lung cancer 😢 wish I'd known about all this a long time ago ❤

As I type this from my home in England / UK it is Wednesday January 10th 2024 and I have ate no food at all so far this year. The last meal I ate was on New Years Eve 11 days ago. I have consumed nothing but lots of water and black coffee. I feel absolutely great, I feel extremely fit and healthy. My weight was 185 pounds on New Years Eve and today when I weighed myself it is 172 pounds.

For the last 4 years I have ate only one meal per day and only proper food, no processed rubbish for me thank you.

[lcsask]

I started prolonged fasting 4 yrs ago, every year I would go a few weeks with water only. I made it to 24 days fast a couple months ago. The feeling of not eating is amazing!

[wildgeeseod]

I was diagnosed at type 2 diabetes a few months ago. I pretty much did everything being recommended in this video and after 2 and a half months; no longer diabetic (not even pre-diabetic), BMI down 20%, lowest cholesterol I’ve had in decades, severe blood pressure has dropped to normal. 50 years old and feel better than I have in a long time.

[AdamRiccinto]

Completing day 6 of fasting. I don't have a specific number of days as a goal. I've never been this emotionally and spiritually fit. Working to listen to my body and the Holy Spirit as to when to break my fast. Been practicing OMAD and lo-carb/carnivore way of eating for a long time.
