1
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>For thousands of years, spiritual seekers have turned to the

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>practice of fasting as a ritual of purification and enlightenment.

3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Ancient healing traditions from around the world understood fasting as

4
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>a profound method of holistic rejuvenation on physical, mental, and

5
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>spiritual levels. Modern research is now confirming what our ancestors knew.

6
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Fasting recalibrates the body in ways that unleash incredible healing potential.

7
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Let us explore the science and philosophy behind this ancient

8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>healing art. Fasting provides deep rest for our digestive organs

9
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 1>while freeing up vast amounts of energy normally required for digestion.

10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Energy becomes available to trigger self healing and tissue regeneration

11
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>throughout the body. As the digestive system rests, the liver

12
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>performs a cleanse, Toxins and old cells get purged from tissues.

13
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Stem cell production ramps up as the body enters into

14
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>a heightened state of repair. These effects emerge because fasting

15
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>shifts the body into a fat burning state known as ketosis.

16
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Our ancestors evolve to thrive in nutritional cycles of feast

17
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and famine. Periodic fasting mimics this ancestral cycle of fasting

18
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and feeding. It activates beneficial genes and growth factors in

19
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>our DNA that gets suppressed under normal modern eating patterns

20
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>of constant food intake. Intermittent fasting serves as an ancient

21
00:01:51.760 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 1>trick to reboot and regenerate the body from within. During fasting,

22
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>several key changes happen. The hormone insulin drops significantly. This

23
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 1>allows fat cells to mobilize stored fatty acids for energy.

24
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Blood levels of growth hormone increase by as much as

25
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>five times. This facilitates fat burning and muscle maintenance. The

26
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>body undergoes ketogenesis, shifting from burning glucose to burning fats

27
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>and fatty acids in the form of ketone bodies. Ketones

28
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>provide up to seventy percent of the brain's energy needs.

29
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>During fasting, cellular repair processes increase, including autophagy, where cells

30
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 1>digest and remove the waste material and proteins needing repair.

31
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>This cleansing process promotes longevity and health. Gene expression favorably changes.

32
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Studies show fasting activates genes responsible for increased resistance to

33
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>stress and disease. Fasting also reduces over expression of genes

34
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>linked to aging and disease. Fasting supports healthy gut microbes

35
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>with no incoming food for bacteria to ferment. Gut flora

36
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>rebalances toward a more optimal community for health by giving

37
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>digestion arrest, Fasting permits our self healing and restorative capacities

38
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>to do their magic, bringing us back into balance the

39
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>practice of fasting has been prescribed in spiritual texts and

40
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>traditions worldwide since ancient times. Greek philosophers like Plato, Socrates, Aristotle,

41
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>and Hippocrates all recommended fasting for health and higher states

42
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 1>of awareness. The famous ancient Egyptian Ebba's Papyrus highlights fasting

43
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>as a method of healing and rejuvenation. Iovadic medicine describes

44
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 1>fasting as kindling the digestive fire and burning away impurities.

45
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Chinese Taoists used fasting to balance the organs and prolonged life.

46
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Indigenous cultures also appreciated fasting intuitively. Native Americans would fast

47
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 1>before hunts, vision quests, and major life events. Inuit traditions

48
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>included fasting during times of shortage. African tribal rituals involved

49
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>fasting for initiation, rites and ceremonies. Australian aborigines would fast

50
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>for days while traveling in the outback nature. It seems

51
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>embedded fasting wisdom into the rituals of native peoples worldwide.

52
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>The Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, jan and Orthodox religions later

53
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 1>incorporated forms of fasting as spiritual purification, but our modern

54
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>lifestyles may have abandoned this ancient wellness wisdom until now. Today,

55
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 1>scientific research is confirming what our ancestors already knew. Fasting

56
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>cleanses and renews us on multiple levels of body, mind,

57
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and soul. Fasting allows detoxification on a deep cellular level

58
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>by providing depleted digestive organs a chance to rest. Toxins

59
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>get released from adipose tissues as fat reserves get burned

60
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 1>for fuel in the absence of new food entering the body.

61
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>As the gut microflora rebalances, the production of beneficial scifhase increases,

62
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 1>reducing inflammation while supporting the immune system with energy freed

63
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>from digesting meals, the liver steps up its natural detoxification processes.

64
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 1>The kidneys filter out more waste products from the blood,

65
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>lowering burdens on these organs. Cellular waste products in tissues

66
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 1>are better cleared thanks to autophagy. Even the skin may

67
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>appear more glowing and radiant as inner purification occurs. Fasting

68
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>gives your body a break to purge accumulated wastes, old cells, damage, proteins, pathogens,

69
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and toxins that can make you age prematurely when allowed

70
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to fester. Think of fasting as pressing the reset button

71
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>for your body's natural systems of waste removal and renewal. Ketosis,

72
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 1>where fat serves as the body's primary fuel source, lies

73
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>at the heart of fasting's cleansing and healing effects. But

74
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>ketosis is much more than just fat loss. It's a

75
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>unique cleansing metabolism with profound health benefits. Unlike glucose, ketones

76
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>produce far less the active oxygen species ROS and oxidative stress.

77
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Ketosis protects against brain aging and neurological disease by enhancing

78
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>mitochondrial function. Ketones are a more efficient fuel than sugar,

79
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>yielding more atp energy per unit. A ketogenic metabolism suppresses

80
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>inflammation and shifts stem cells from adipogenesis to neurogenesis, regenerating

81
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the brain. Cancer cells cannot metabolize ketones due to mitochondrial defects,

82
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>effectively starving tumors. Ketosis cleanses on multiple levels, from clearing

83
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>waste products to eliminating cancer risk to stoking stem cell repair.

84
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>No wonder our ancestors evolved to uptake this superfuel during

85
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 1>periods of fasting. There are several evidence based intermittent fasting

86
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 1>protocols shown to act activate cleansing ketosis. Sixteen to eight

87
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 1>method fast for sixteen hours per day, eating only during

88
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 1>an eight hour window. This aligns with the natural circadian rhythm,

89
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>allowing digestion to rest overnight. Twenty four hour fasts, fast

90
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 1>from dinner to dinner one to two times per week

91
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>extends the overnight fast more deeply. Alternate day fasting fast

92
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>every other day for twenty four to thirty six hours

93
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>allows the body to enter deep ketosis. Water only fasts

94
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 1>for two to twenty one days or longer requires more preparation,

95
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 1>but provides deep cleansing. Periodic routine fasts, such as fasting

96
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 1>one week per month or one week per season, allows

97
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the body to cleanse regularly. The key is to find

98
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>an intermittent fasting routine that is sustainable long term, not

99
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>just a quick fixed diet our ancest as fasted intuitively.

100
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>We can reclaim this ancestral cycling between fasting and feeding

101
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:17.639
<v Speaker 1>by adopting intermittent fasting as a periodic cleansing. Ritual preparation

102
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 1>is key to having a successful fasting experience. Here are

103
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>some tips. Gradually taper down meals and food intake in

104
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 1>the days before fasting. This eases the transition. Stay well

105
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>hydrated with purified water, herbal tea, and mineral broths. Proper

106
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 1>hydration supports detoxification. Get adequate rest and avoid strenuous exercise

107
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 1>during a fast. Conserve your energy for healing, take time

108
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>off work, and minimize stress if possible. Fasting requires deep

109
00:09:53.960 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>breast supplement if needed with electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. Support

110
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 1>what your nutritional reserves. Break a prolonged fast gradually with

111
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 1>gentle foods. Avoid heavy foods or over eating. Keep a

112
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 1>positive mental attitude through self affirmations and spiritual practices. Intention matters.

113
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Proper preparation and support during a fast can make all

114
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the difference in having a rejuvenating experience when fasting. Understanding

115
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the stages and possible experiences during a fast allows you

116
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to be prepared. Twelve to twenty four hours, the switch

117
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to burning fat and glycogen stores begins. Mild hunger and

118
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>food cravings are common. Two to three days the body

119
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>enters full ketosis. Hunger and cravings usually decrease, possible irritability

120
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and headaches as electrolytes adjust. Three to five days. Heavy

121
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>c phittosis suppresses appetite. Mental clarity improves as toxins clear. Purification.

122
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Symptoms may arise, like skin breakouts or mucoid plaque elimination.

123
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Temporary fatigue or light headedness can occur if detoxing too rapidly.

124
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 1>One to three weeks. Deeper cleansing and renewal profound healing,

125
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but requires more support. Dizziness, arrhythmias, and profound weakness indicates

126
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the fast should be broken. Understanding the stages provides guidance

127
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>on what to expect physically and spiritually during a fast.

128
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Supporting the process with rest, water, and mindfulness leads to revitalization.

129
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Those new to fasting should start with shorter fasts and

130
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>work up gradually. It's equally important to break a fast properly.

131
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Here are some tips. Do not overeat when breaking a fast,

132
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>even if ravenously hungry. Gradually reintroduce portions. Sip water or

133
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>non sugar tea first, then start with gentle foods like fruits, vegetables, yogurt.

134
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Slowly progress from lighter to heavier foods. Avoid heavy animal proteins,

135
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 1>processed foods, or sugar at first. Chew food extremely well

136
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and eat slowly. The shrunken stomach needs time. Fasting has

137
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>long been used for spiritual growth due to shifts in

138
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>awareness that occur as the body detoxifies. Clarity of mind

139
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 1>improves as toxic overloads reduce. With energy less focused on digestion,

140
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>consciousness can turn within, bringing heightened intuition. As cravings fade,

141
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 1>attachments loosen their grip. Freed from in senses become more

142
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 1>attuned to subtle energies, one achieves mastery over the body

143
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>instead of vice versa. Fasting develops will power and the

144
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 1>sense of spirit over flesh. Fasting often mirrors an internal

145
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 1>process of shedding old layers to reveal one's deeper self.

146
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>The pure state that emerges is believed to be more

147
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>receptive to spiritual truths. For this reason, many religions prescribe

148
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>fasting before rituals, rites or holy days. The hunger reminds

149
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 1>devotees of their faith while purifying mind and body to

150
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:45.399

151
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>incorporated fasting for this reason. Silence, solitude, and detachment allow

152
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>inner realms to open up. Toxins accumulate in our bodies

153
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>from food, water, air, medications, alcohol, and environmental exposures. Our

154
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>detoxification systems can become overburdened. Fasting gives these systems a

155
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 1>break so they can catch up on the backlog. The liver, kidneys, skin, lungs,

156
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and colon all increase elimination of wastes that may have

<v Speaker 1>in fat cells get liberated with gut rest inflammation subsides,

160
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and microbial balance improves. Signs you may be detoxifying include headaches, fatigue,

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>muscle aches, skin eruptions, runny nose, coughing, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting,

162
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 1>bad breath, and discolored tongue coating. These symptoms usually pass

163
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 1>in a few days. Staying hydrated, resting in opening elimination

164
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.000
