And that's why I continue to be a humble student of the science of fasting. I am not a doctor, a dietician, or even a nutritionist. What I have is over 25 years of personally living inside the practice of therapeutic fasting, testing it on my own body long before I ever taught it to anyone else, and since then guiding hundreds of people through the same process. Nothing I share here comes from a degree. It comes from direct, lived experience, applied specifically to:
- Weight Loss
- Better Executive Performance: Improved Cognitive Function & Mental Clarity
- Stress Relief: Deep Mental Calm & Focus
My Journey: From Fear to Transformation
There was a time I was overweight. I weighed 74 kg, and I had spent decades trying to lose weight - without success, of course. Then I was blessed by an autoimmune disease: psoriasis - the disease that is said to accompany you all the way to your grave. I actually consider it a blessing because it was this disease that prompted me to think about fasting. But in spite of thinking I took no action. And that was because I was afraid of fasting.
"I want to tell you at the outset that the very idea of going without food terrified me. I assumed my body would fail me, that hunger would become unbearable. So I started small..."
I started with one day, then a few, and slowly, over time, progressed to extended fasts of five, ten, fifteen, and eventually twenty-one days on water and coconut water. Each fast was preceded by real fear, and each one taught me something the last hadn't.
Meanwhile, my psoriasis symptoms disappeared entirely, and the weight came off in a way none of my earlier attempts had managed. More importantly, the weight loss was sustainable: I have maintained my weight for the past 20 odd years without a hitch.
Here let me be honest: I can't promise fasting will do exactly the same for your condition - this is my personal experience, not a clinical guarantee. But it's why I trust this practice so deeply, and why I haven't taken a single prescribed pill since 2009. In addition to that n of 1 experience, there are millions of people who have benefitted from a fasting protocol around the world. They are not studied because pharma companies can't package "fasting" and sell it.
Why I Talk About Fasting Instead of GLP-1
Right now the world is in awe of this miracle drug. You've probably seen the ads for Ozempic or Mounjaro, or someone you know is on one, and you've probably read the side effects of these drugs. Simultaneously you're wondering if there's another way. Luckily, there is one - the same one I stumbled into out of fear and desperation, not confidence.
GLP-1 drugs work for many people, and I'm not here to argue otherwise. I will never bad-mouth them. But for a large number of people, the same result - real, lasting weight loss - is achievable through your own biology, without a lifelong injection. That's the whole reason this site exists.
