Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine on Earth.

It triggers your body to "eat up" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally a doctor within.

Here's how to fast correctly (according to science): Image

Most people think fasting is just about weight loss or giving your digestive system a break.

But the "magic" occurs at the cellular level through autophagy.

This is where your body literally begins to eat itself.

Let me explain:
Autophagy = the cell’s self-cleaning process

When you fast for an extended period, your cells begin to break down and recycle damaged proteins, faulty mitochondria, and even potentially cancerous cells in their early stages.

It’s like your body finally gets a chance to clear out the built-up waste that contributes to inflammation and illness.Image
What does science say about fasting?

A 2014 USC study showed 72-hour fasts triggered stem cell-based regeneration of white blood cells, essentially rebooting the immune system.

It's widely known that fasting works for so many health conditions.

But why? Because... Image
It addresses a root cause often overlooked by modern medicine:

The accumulation of cellular waste, damaged proteins, and weakened mitochondria fuels chronic inflammation.

By clearing out this internal clutter, your body creates the conditions for natural healing to take place.
Now that you understand the science behind it, here’s how to successfully complete a 72-hour fast:
•-Suffering with low testosterone

-Low libido

-Less energy levels

-low muscle mass

-No morning wood

Before You Start: Prepare Your Body (2-3 Days Before)

Begin intermittent fasting (16:8 method) at least 3 days before your extended fast.

Eat during an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours.

This gradually shifts your metabolism to fat-burning mode.
In the days leading up to your fast, gradually reduce carbohydrates and increase healthy fats.

This helps transition your body into a state of ketosis before the fast officially begins, making the process smoother and more effective.

Focus on nutrient-rich fats like avocados, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil.Image
Hours 0-24: The Challenge Phase

The first 24 hours are challenging but manageable.

Your body is shifting to fat burning, causing hunger, irritability, and energy shifts. This is normal and temporary.

Your hunger hormone ghrelin begins to stabilize after the first day.
Hours 24–48: The Transition Phase

Around the 36-hour point, many people notice a surge in mental clarity and energy. That’s because your brain is now running on ketones—a cleaner, more efficient fuel source.

Growth hormone levels can spike by up to 300%, helping preserve muscle mass while accelerating fat burning.

This is when fat loss really starts to take off.Image
Hours 48-72: The Healing Phase

The final 24 hours are where the most profound healing occurs.

Chronic joint pain can disappear as well as other positive changes during this phase.

Brain fog lifts as inflammation recedes.
What Can You Consume During a 72-Hour Fast?

To support your fast without breaking it, stick to the following:

Pure water – still or sparkling
Black coffee – no cream, sugar, or sweeteners
Plain tea – herbal or traditional, without additives
Electrolytes – sodium, potassium, and magnesium as outlined earlier to maintain balance and prevent fatigue

These keep you hydrated, support energy levels, and help your body stay in a fasted state.
The most important part: how to break a fast?

• Start with bone broth
• Wait 1 hour, then have 1-2 scrambled eggs/avocado
• Wait another hour before eating a small meal with protein and healthy fats
• Avoid all carbs, sugar, and processed foods for at least 24 hours after Image
Let’s be honest—going 72 hours without food isn’t easy.

The first time is the toughest. The second time is still a challenge, but much more manageable. By the third, you’ll be surprised at how natural it feels.

Your body adapts quickly. Each fast becomes easier—and the benefits start to compound with every round.

Inflammation is behind nearly every chronic disease—
From stubborn belly fat to heart attacks.

But no one talks about how to actually fix it.

Here are 10 underrated anti-inflammatory cheat codes your doctor won't mention: 🧵 Image
1. Grounding

Walk barefoot on grass for 10 mins.

The Earth’s free electrons neutralize free radicals—reducing oxidative stress & chronic inflammation.

It’s not spiritual fluff. It’s physics.
2. Get into nature

Forest air reduces stress hormones like cortisol.

Trees release phytoncides—compounds that calm your nervous system and lower inflammation markers (CRP, IL-6).

Nature literally heals.

Colon Cleansing Is the Most Underrated Detox of Your Life

Your gut can store up to 10 pounds of toxic waste.
And when it clogs, it poisons everything—your liver, skin, brain, and energy.

Here’s exactly how to cleanse your colon (the right way): 🧵 Image
1. What It Is

Most people are walking around with 5–10 pounds of toxic waste in their colon.

This backup silently wrecks your skin, drains your energy, and overloads your liver.

A proper colon cleanse is the reset your gut—and body—needs.
2. Why It Matters

Your colon is like your body's “tailpipe.”

It removes the most toxic substances daily.

But when it’s clogged, your liver has to work overtime…
and those toxins? They start recirculating through your bloodstream.

The biggest scam in the health industry:

Ozempic.

Here are the horrors of Ozempic they hid from you (and what to do instead):

1. Thyroid cancer Image
What is Ozempic, really?

It is NOT some magical fat-burning pill.

It makes you less hungry and slows your digestion.

You naturally want to eat less. That’s it.

No miracles.
What nearly everyone misses about Ozempic:

The weight loss isn't all fat.

Clinical trials show that up to 40% of the weight you lose is your muscle and bone.

A disaster for your appearance and health. Image
