Could water fasting be the missing sacred ritual in your healing journey?
Dr. Katie Deming welcomes anthropologist and Hydration Foundation founder Gina Bria, who reveals how water fasting serves as both a powerful healing tool and a sacred ritual.

They explore water's three roles as physical material, cellular fuel, and information carrier. Showing how fasting creates space for deep transformation. You'll hear stories of people who experienced not just physical improvements but spiritual awakenings during their fasts.

Chapters:
03:45 – The Power of Ritual
11:28 – Stripping Away Distractions
15:26 – Identity Through Fasting
20:33 – Fasting Through the Ages
33:51 – Connection to Ancestors

Gina shares her anthropological research on fasting as a vision quest across cultures. Dr. Deming adds clinical insights from guiding patients through water fasts, describing the surprising shifts that happen when someone pauses their busy life to turn inward. 

Many focus solely on physical symptoms while missing emotional and spiritual aspects of wellness. Water fasting can help dissolve fear, connect you with inner wisdom, and reveal gifts you didn't know you had. 

Listen to discover why this ancient practice is resurfacing now and how it might help you connect with both your ancestral wisdom and future self.
