Benefits of Fasting (And How to Do It)

[@juliadavid3637]

I skip my evening meal and eat a protein and essential fat breakfast. I eat sooo healthy and learned much of it from you and Jordan. Also, my dear mother taught me how to eat well. I'll be 67 on the 10th, I'm 5'4" 122lbs and zero need for meds. Thank you Dr. Axe

"Fasting & prayer breaks strongholds" Thank you & Amen❤

I went to a hotel at a lake once to pray and fast (and read the bible) for a whole 2 days (3 was too hard at the time) and I had a breakthrough that I didn't even pray about. It was regarding an addiction I had (not drugs or alcohol) but it was life changing. And it was a healthy bone broth fast modeled after Dr. Axe's videos. I hope this encourages someone out there to do the same.

This blessed me tremendously. I clicked on this looking for something else and got the direction of what I really needed to do. Simple and pure and it spoke volumes. Thanks Dr. Axe

This is my first video that I’ve seen from Dr Axe. Thanks for this video and also including the spiritual part of fasting and scriptural references. I’m also a Christian and feel the need to unite my fasting to my Christian faith. This video helps me to be aware of this. I’ve been fasting on and off for the past 3 years and really enjoy it. Mostly I do OMAD fasting and eat a hole food plant based diet about 95% of every week. I’ve really seen tremendous achievements in lowering blood pressure and LDL and chorlesterol and blood sugar as well as weight maintenance. What I love about fasting and WFPB eating is the decrease in inflammation especially in the mid section or belly section of the body. This video is encouraging me to unite my fasting with my prayer life especially with financial challenges for my family in our business pursuits. Thanks Dr Axe! I’ll check out your other videos too.

Fasting has helped me so much. Respect and gratitude to fasting.

BEST OF YOUR VIDEOS EVER!! I NEEDED THIS TODAY😭 THANK YOU 🙏 ❤

[@run4cmt]

I am a triathlete, and I work out fasted most days. I did not do this when I first started fasting. I have been doing 16:8 or 18: 6 most days for over 4 years. It was probably after a year that I started doing most of my workouts fasted. I fast for health.

[@225rip]

Well said Dr Axe, preachers can’t preach on this without offending half of the church. Thank you for being bold and saying what needs to be said in today’s world.

[@katz64]

Thank you Dr. Axe! Fasting is intimidating to me. I want to do some fasting in the new year for spiritual growth. This episode was really helpful.

[@velmaedwards1031]

Thank you Dr.Josh Axe for this valuable information. I will share this helpful information on my Health Talk Group. Again, thanks for sharing this information

[@marvinwalker6045]

An Answered Prayer, Great Content

[@dit1092]

This is information I needed to fully understand fasting. I am passing this on as I do so many of you videos. I have several health concerns, mainly blocked artery in leg. I need to walk more and fasting with prayer and the Word is key. Blessings

[@nancyshina6492]

Amen thank you

[@damarismitchell7355]

Thank You Dr Josh!! Great 👍 Podcast ❤

[@MariaMazariegos-e1p]

I was fasting for about a year, but it was a stressful time with a health issues a dear friend of mine had, so, I felt didn't have benefit from that, but with this new information, thanks Dr. Axe, I m willing to try twice a week, because I need to lower my LDL cholesterol level. So, many thanks for this important video.

[@katherinecoles191]

Your presentation was excellent. Thank you! I wonder if you've seen "The Science of Fasting" a film by Sylvie Gilman and Thierry De Lestrade. It has amazing historical information. If you haven't seen it, I think you and your wife would find it fascinating. Thanks you!

[@nnnnnnnnnataliem]

This works great for my husband pretty regularly, but other than eliminating what I'm allergic to, my body doesn't seem to be ok with fasting ❤

[@yeoweehuathuat8926]

Moderate will be ok

[@GrandRiverNICK]

just did my longest, 6 day water only/absolute fast and I enjoy 1 day a week fast on average. 2 sleep cycles and 1 full day gets me close to 48 hrs. per week, 😊works for my body. Dr. Axe, I'm curious what happens at different hour intervals... in general. Any other day/time milestones have you learned about? Thanks for mentioning the 48 hour milestone

[@hafeezsoomro5144]

Can we drink water during fasting?

[@deanofdisplacement]

Is this A.I. Josh?

[@craja190]

Please imclude the details of the Doctor's medical background. I like to listen to him

[@nataliaprieto6723]

Dr. Jason Fung 😉

[@shivsnorman]

​@@nataliaprieto6723Dr Fung is amazing!

[@everdienvaneerten6077]

Thank you for a balanced view. I am concerned a out fasting because I am now too thin. I went on to a FODMAP diet on the recommendation of my doctor. Now I am too thin. What can I do to put weight on? I have plenty of energy most days but I want just a bit of fat over my body.

QUESTION: does fasting ruien womans hormones? Do we have to fast differently than men?

[@hioka9315]

No there is no difference only if you are not in post and pre pregnancy phase !!

[@JuleD107]

Dr. Mindy Pelz has some great information about fasting for women! We definitely have to fast differently than men. For example she doesn’t recommend fasting in the days leading up to menstruation in order to let progesterone levels rise.

[@laceyrushworth9823]

@@JuleD107 okay and the rest of the time I can fast however I want?

[@intentionallymade]

Definitely follow Dr Mindy Pelz. There are certain times when to fast and how long based off what she’s researched and done with her women patients. We have completely different makeup and most testing has been done on men. No fasting week before cycle begins. She also discusses ketobiotic diet while fastinf phases and feasting during progesterone phase. Her book is worth getting.
