Welcome back to another riveting episode of "Uncensored Journey," where your hosts Cyndee and Gabriela continue to explore alternative healing modalities and personal growth pathways. In this episode, we delve deep into the transformative power of fasting with our special guest, Liliana Pinzen. With over two decades of experience in marketing, Liliana is not just a successful entrepreneur but also a passionate advocate for holistic wellness. Today, she shares how her personal and family health challenges led her to embrace fasting, not just as a health practice but as a mission to confront America's health crisis.
Liliana is the visionary behind the innovative "Fasting and Thriving in Florida" initiative, which seeks to harness the body’s innate potential for self-healing and vitality through structured fasting programs. Our discussion opens up about the Buckinger method, a pioneering fasting technique that Liliana has adapted for her retreats. This method is distinct in its integration of prolonged fasting periods with activities like yoga and nature walks, promoting a balanced and holistic approach to wellness.
Throughout our conversation, Liliana illuminates the science behind fasting, including the fascinating process of autophagy — the body's natural mechanism of cleaning out damaged cells, which can initiate as early as 18 hours into a fast. Significant benefits, she notes, begin to manifest after 72 hours, aligning perfectly with the retreat schedules designed to optimize this process.
We also take a closer look at how Liliana customizes the fasting experience in her retreats, offering juice and broth options to sustain participants through more active periods without negating the fasting benefits. This tailored approach makes her programs accessible not only to those new to fasting but also to individuals like athletes, who must balance rigorous physical demands with their nutritional practices.
The episode is not just about fasting; it's an in-depth dialogue on personal health philosophies and adapting fasting practices into various lifestyles, especially for those who, like our co-host Cindy, juggle intense physical training with fasting regimes.
