Everyone always wants results as fast as possible. But you have to remember that your body has undergone significant wear and tear for a very long time. Reversing this damage through fasting is relatively fast, but you need to be realistic. It is not a pill you pop and feel better. It’s a gradual grind with continuous improvements. These improvements are all-around fixes. Your blood, your organs, your metabolic pathways, your mitochondria. Imagine your body as an onion with many layers. You want to get to the core, but you have to slowly peel away the layers to get there. Each fast peels away at it, but don’t expect one or two fasts to get it done. For example. When you are sick or have underlying problems, you can expect flare-ups during the refeeds. Especially when you quit in the middle of a crisis. Aiming for a 5-day dry fast basically guarantees you initiate and complete an acidotic crisis in a safe window. An acidotic crisis is when your body enters such a highly acidic state due to ketosis that it needs to activate new homeostasis mechanisms to balance itself out. It is theorized that you need to get through this activation to get the full stem cell regenerative powers offered by a dry fast. If you want to aim for the second one you’ll need to get to 7-9 days completed. The secondary one incorporates a mechanism tied to dehydration, acidity, and cortisol. This is a bit of a deeper dive and we could also talk about the link to fasting with heart rate variability and cortisol levels, as seen in my past HRV data tracking here, but i’ll leave that for you to dig into. This speeds up healing, but you can usually get there with multiple 5-day ones instead. As you detox and heal, the pathogens as well as your own body can panic. Toxins can be varied. There can be bacterial endotoxins, heavy metals, other toxins inside fat cells, and more. When they are released into the body, the burden is placed on your organs. If you have a leaky gut the detox can be even worse. Lucky for you dry fasting repairs leaky gut. Common symptoms are Bloating, Gas, Headaches, Diarrhea, Joint Pain, and Nausea. Because of this, you might feel like your health is regressing, but if you’re dry fasting correctly, you will continuously be strengthening your body and it starts to quickly stack up. This is also why it’s recommended to first do a 3-day water fast before you even attempt dry fasting, followed by a 36-hour dry fast, and then a 3-day dry fast. This is the quickest that you should approach it. I’ve seen way too many people go too fast and suffer horrible side effects, there is such a thing as detox overload and it's often seen as an extremely elevated heart rate or extreme side effects. I want to add that even though some people go too fast and end up suffering more than they need to, they almost always eventually stabilize and improve their baseline in the end, so even overdoing it is not the end of the world, so don’t panic. There are a lot of intricacies that go into it, like knowing that women experience a higher release of ghrelin during fasts. If you are relatively healthy and looking for simple anti-aging and weight loss you can make great strides by focusing on performing 3-5 day dry fasts and you won’t have to worry about the deeper stages.
