Georges St-Pierre achieved remission from ulcerative colitis with fasting. Diagnosed and on heavy medication with little improvement, he started intermittent fasting (16:8) and moved to prolonged water fasts (up to 4 days). Within weeks, his symptoms vanished and he was able to stop the medication completely. Clinical research shows...

What are the different ways of doing Intermittent Fasting? 1. Fixed feeding and fasting windows on daily basis, such as 6 or 8 hours of eating window and 18 or 16 hours of fasting windows, respectively. One is permitted to consume black coffee, green tea, lemon water (without sugar) and water during the fasting window. Do not add milk or sugar to your coffee or tea. 2. Alternate day fasting. One day of normal feeding/eating as desired, followed by fasting the next day and repeating this cycle on a regular basis. On fasting days, up to 500 calories consumption is permitted. 3. 5:2 pattern of intermittent fasting. Eating normally on 5 days, and fasting on two days (every week). You can choose whichever two days of the week you prefer, as long as there is at least one non-fasting day in between them. On fasting days, up to 500 calories intake is permitted. #intermittentfasting #fasting

Dr. Mindy Pelz laid out a practical fasting schedule: - 3-day water fast twice a year (e.g. January & September) to clear senescent cells - 48-hour fast once a quarter for mental health & mood - 36-hour fast once a month if weight loss is stuck 24-hour fast once a week as a baseline - Shorter daily windows (12–17 hours) the rest of the time, adjusted around your cycle Prolonged fasting (48–72 hours) significantly ramps up autophagy and stem cell regeneration. Valter Longo’s research shows periodic 3-day fasts or fasting-mimicking diets can reduce biological age markers. Shorter fasts (24–36h) improve insulin sensitivity and fat loss. Different fasting lengths trigger specific benefits, from cellular cleanup to better mood and metabolism. What fasting schedule have you found works best for you?

The Dangerous Cult of 'Fasting' Influencers. Fasting has its anecdotal benefits, yes. But it is overrated. And water fasting is highly overrated. But this video featuring a Cardiologist is amusingly nonsense. There is no study from Boston (from a "University?" - how vague!) that says 7-days water fasting reduces risk of cancer (what cancer?) by 70%. And there is no proof that fasting kills cancer cells in humans. Here is what fasting does to cancers in humans. Nothing. Fasting is now become a sort of religion-like cult for wellness influencers to rake in views and engagement. From a scientific standpoint, there are no realistically good human studies to prove anything from fasting that benefits cancers. I know, I know, "autophagy" and all that. Autophagy: Autophagy is the natural, conserved degradation of the cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components. Yes, its a legit term and all. But in the context of cancer reduction and fasting in humans, it sounds like "immunity boosting," another wellness fraud term. The effects of fasting on cancer cells are all based on MOUSE studies, and none explicitly translated to humans. See this paper: everything is based on cells and tissues and small animal experiments: "While research on the subject is tantalizing, there’s little clinical evidence involving humans to substantiate the claims. Studies on the potential impacts on cancer treatment from various forms of fasting or calorie restriction, including the possibility that they reduce side effects, have been limited." "Fasting may not be appropriate for malnourished individuals or those with cancer cachexia, which results in a continuing loss of skeletal muscle mass, or for people with chronic diseases. Those with diabetes need to be very careful, because of the risk of hypoglycemia." "Based on our systematic review and meta-analysis, there is currently no evidence supporting the superiority of therapeutic fasting over non-fasting in preventing chemotherapy toxicity." - see here: Even intermittent fasting (IF) is overrated in cancer. "IF may be considered in adults seeking cancer-prevention benefits through means of weight management, butwhether IF itself affects cancer-related metabolic and molecular pathways remains unanswered. See here: Also this: "Fasting for short periods does not have any beneficial effect on the quality of life of cancer patients during treatment. Evidence on fasting regimes reducing side effects and toxicities of chemotherapy is missing." See here: The whole aspect of "fasting reducing cancer incidence" in the real world is just due to weight loss. Obesity is associated with at least 13 types of cancers and reversing obesity reduces risk of cancer - nothing to do with fasting killing off cancers cells in the body. And one can lose weight even without fasting. See here: Everything from prevention of adverse events of cancer, to reduction in side effects from chemotherapy, to slowing cancer growth by reducing glucose levels, to promoting cell regeneration by affecting autophagy is all LAB BASED MOLECULAR LEVEL HYPOTHESIS that has not been proven conclusively in humans. See here: Cancer patients must not starve. They must remain hydrated and they must eat a well balanced diet because cancer condition is highly demanding. And dont water fast for 7 days. Easy for people to make reels on it, but in real life, it may prove disastrous. Water fast does make you lose weight (because of starvation) but it is not at all a healthy way to lose weight. Stop with this fasting and cancer madness already.

Sexual intercourse during the day of Ramaḍān vitiates fasting, and requires Qadā' (repayment) and Kaffārah (expiation) of 60 consecutive days of fasting. Forcing oneself to vomit vitiates fasting. Only repayment of the missed is required. Apostasy vitiates fasting. If the apostate returns to Islam within the same day or period, the fasting should be repaid.

4. Fasting. Seyfried is a big advocate for both intermittent fasting & longer-term fasting. Fasting reduces blood glucose & enhances ketone production... Which cancer cells cannot efficiently use. This helps inhibit their growth & promotes autophagy (the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells).

The Science of Fasting - 2012 Documentary There is a reason so many religions and cultures across the world advocate for fasting to resolve health issues, and think every human being on earth should fast intermittently to help repair and detoxify themselves in this incredibly toxic world where we are being inundated from every vector. Obviously fasting can be detrimental if done excessively and the nutrition is inadequate in between fasting stints, but overall if done right, it's so obviously a great tool for our health that we should all take advantage of. It can by intermittent fasting with 18/6 or 16/8 schedules, it can be 1-2 days a month, it can be 1 week every 6 months, or whatever works best for your individual situation and health goals, but we should all be doing a little bit of fasting every now and again. Considering a large portion of the US is brutally addicted to food and severely overweight and unhealthy with countless diseases and ailments, we should be investing in fasting clinics such as the one shown in this documentary to help them break the addiction and get healthy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr has discussed detox clinics for drug abuse, and hope he can consider the same for obesity and chronic disease with fasting clinics. Many people are not disciplined and strong enough to not eat at home for a few days because of all the temptation, but if they had a place to stay with rules and restrictions, they could learn that discipline and then do it on their own. For anyone that thinks it's dangerous to fast for a long period of time, you should lookup the story of the scottish man back in 1965 who was over 450lbs and fasted for a year straight. If you have body fat on you, you can fast until it's gone, as long as you have water to drink.

Dana White did an 86-hour water fast, and he says it changed how he sees his body. He went in after learning about Boston studies on prolonged water fasting. According to him, after 72+ hours your body starts shedding dead cells, generating new ones, and fighting inflammation and disease. He came out shredded with insane mental clarity and described hitting a zen-like euphoric state. Research shows that autophagy (cellular cleanup) significantly ramps up between 48-72 hours of fasting. Studies, including recent multi-day water fast trials, have found widespread shifts in thousands of proteins affecting metabolism, inflammation, immune function, and even brain-supporting structures. In a world of constant eating and processed food, strategic extended fasting is one of the most powerful (and free) ways to trigger deep biological repair mechanisms our bodies evolved with. Have you ever tried a multi-day fast, or does 72 hours sound insane to you?

A functional medicine physician shares his clinical experience with autoimmune conditions: many cases of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto’s, and ulcerative colitis appear linked to intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”). Undigested food proteins—especially from dairy, gluten-containing grains, and refined sugars—can enter the bloodstream and trigger immune reactions that mistakenly target the body’s own tissues. Standard treatment often relies on immunosuppressive medications like prednisone or biologics, which can reduce symptoms quickly but carry significant long-term risks. In his practice, when patients strictly remove common dietary triggers and support gut healing—sometimes using supervised water-only fasting as one tool—many report dramatic improvements: reduced pain, normalized lab markers, and in some cases the ability to discontinue medications under medical supervision. He notes that patients who experience symptom flares after dietary slips tend to maintain long-term adherence because the contrast is so clear. Watch the attached 2:33 clip to hear his real-world patient outcomes straight from the source. Who else has seen symptoms completely shift just by cleaning up their plate?

Dana White’s jet lag hack is wild. He fasts the entire long flight (he already does intermittent fasting) and drinks hydrogen water the whole way. He’s done it to Australia, Abu Dhabi, and New York, and says he gets zero jet lag. He’s so into it he just bought a bigger hydrogen water machine. Fasting during travel helps reset circadian rhythms by aligning meal timing with the destination’s local time, reducing jet lag symptoms. Molecular hydrogen (in hydrogen-rich water) acts as a selective antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by high-altitude flight conditions, which may further aid recovery and energy levels. Jet lag ruins travel. If this combination really works, it’s a simple, low-cost hack for frequent flyers. Have you tried fasting on long flights before?
