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... fasting can significantly reduce gut inflammation and induce remission in some ulcerative colitis patients by lowering inflammatory markers and promoting autophagy. Hearing one of the greatest fighters of all time talk openly about using fasting as a serious tool is eye-opening. When standard treatments fall short, simple, evidence-based approaches like fasting (always under medical guidance) can sometimes offer real hope. Have you ever tried fasting for health reasons?show more

Jesus talked to heal, you fast and pray. It resets your body.

It's autophagy. I did my first 5 day water fast a few months ago and it was amazing. Will be doing it twice a year.

Your body has a self-cleaning mechanism. It breaks down damaged proteins. Clears dysfunctional cells. Regenerates your immune system. Reverses chronic disease. It’s called autophagy. And it is almost completely suppressed every time you eat. Here’s what happens to your body every 12 hours during a 72-hour fast — and why it may be the most powerful medical intervention available to you. Free to read. Link in profile.

Most people with crohns/colitis fast whether they won't to or not. There is no one size fits all solution. He's in remission. His problems may come back or may not.

I've been in remission from Ulcerative Colitis for almost 20 years. Zero flare-ups since cutting sugar and processed food out of my diet. Never tried fasting. Whatever UC is, it's treatable. Before that I went to legions of M.D's, not ONE mentioned diet. NOT ONE!

@drawandstrike Intermittent fasting and a keto diet are standard protocol for anyone who wants to put UC into remission. It works.

yes. but my heart cant take it more thn 24 hrs. starts to beat like crazy. if you have a healthy heart, do it for at least 48hrs

I achieved remission for my UC switching to a Keto Diet and Alkaline water for 2 years - strictly followed - now I have added complex carbs feeling great

Additional information will help here because what GSP is referring to is one of 2 ways to heal yourself AND these words were taken out of the Bible. Most versions anyways. The Asher Wilson Ethiopian Bible has this missing phrase of caring ones solve Matthew 17:21. Look it up for yourself. Prayer and fasting people. Prayer and fasting.

@drawandstrike Fasting is good. But maybe it’s just a break from the poison they feed us? I don’t know, call me crazy

I do "intermittent fasting," every day. Usually, I average around 20 hours daily. It was recommended to me by my brother, who is also a huge "Jason Fung" fan. Best health decision I've EVER made, in my life (I'm 60 years old).

This is sage advice. It is counter intuitive to “starve the body” actually heals it…..but it does. 48 hours water diet is good. 72 hours is better. “This is not medical advice. Contact your doctor before any diets or alternative treatments.” 🤪

Respect to GSP for sharing this. Absolute legend. Fasting is one of the most powerful tools for gut health that most people still sleep on. The inflammation drop and autophagy benefits are real.

Yes. I’ve been doing it for years now and the benefits have been an absolute revelation. Currently on a 100-hour Fast - which will be my longest.

so you want it done under the guidance of the people that failed them??? how about learning that other than acute trauma care and necessary surgeries, the medical system is a major net negative, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, injuring millions more ANNUALLY.

Long term calorie restriction with keto style clean diet is transformative over the long term. Did a 5 day sardine and egg fast, never felt better. I consumed 2 of each a day in one meal (fish cake). You get all the benefits of fasting without the starvation

Add turmeric to your diet in a good dose and that’ll do it for sure

88 hour water fast was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done 8 pounds lost and I was so energetic and full of clarity

I can’t stop looking at the guy rubing his gut in the top left corner.

Fasting is a wonderful experience and a great break for your body. I'm on day 18 of a 30-day.

He's one of the great human beings. A role model for all.

@CatNihon Every person I’ve known that had Colitis were 💯 cured with a carnivore diet. He just removed seed oils or carbs enough for his body to start healing. Millions of us have already figured it out years ago. If he were to eat 80/20 beef and water for a month he’d have 0 Colitis.

He should research carnivore diet, @realzerocarb .Has lots of interviews with people reporting similar results from carnivore protocol.

The extended fast - stem cell production, system reboot.💪

I’ve been doing IF for 8y now

I do intermittent fasting everyday (nothing between 6pm and 9:30 am). Hubby does water fast a few times per year. And he will do a carnivore diet a few times too.

UC is mainly caused by stress. It probably went away on its own once he retired.

sample size of one with no controlled variables. GSP also changed his diet, stress levels, training load, and sleep patterns simultaneously. attributing the remission to fasting specifically is impossible without isolating the variable. ulcerative colitis has a documented spontaneous remission rate of 10 to 20% regardless of intervention. some patients go into remission on medication, some off it, some on dietary changes, some with no changes at all. prolonged water fasting can also trigger dangerous electrolyte imbalances and gallstone formation. an elite athlete with a medical team monitoring bloodwork daily is not a replicable protocol for someone trying this alone.

I’m going to start !

Qing Dai....:)

Yes. I’ve done intermittent fasting and water fasting. My longest water fast was 10 days. I do 4 day water fasts 1-2 x’s a month. It’s been life changing for me and has been a regular part of my life for a few years now.

The book of Matthew said you can heal the body with fasting and prayer. Caveat is it was in older bibles in Aramaic. The passage was removed from all current bibles. 🤔

Matthew 17:21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

I've water fasted for 25 days it didn't really improve my health. Long term intermittent fasting with a locked in diet is what will cure a lot of inflammatory disease. Water fasting is best for resetting food addictions and unhealthy eating habits IMO.
