The Spiritual and Physical Benefits of Fasting w/ Chris James


Listen Later

In this conversation, Chris James shares his insights on nutrition and fasting, challenging common beliefs about dietary needs and the body's capabilities. He recounts his personal experience of fasting for 30 days while working in physically demanding conditions, demonstrating that the body can function effectively even with limited food intake. This discussion highlights the misconceptions surrounding nutrition and the potential for human endurance.


Chris runs the Healthy Alternative community, where he teaches structured fasting programs, lifestyle change, and root-cause approaches to obesity.


His approach emphasizes holistic health, mindset, stress management, emotion, nutrition, and long-term behavior change rather than quick-fix dieting.


Over the years, he has guided thousands through extended fasts, 30-day challenges, and group coaching protocols.
