In This Episode:
In this podcast episode, I go through the fat burning power of fasting and what happens at key points of time as you are fasting. What if the secret to sharper focus, more energy, and powerful fat loss wasn’t in what you eat—but in when you don’t eat?
In this episode, I explore the fascinating science behind 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour fasting windows and what actually happens inside your body during each stage.
Why 12 Hours Matters
Most people don’t realize that just 12 hours without food can kickstart detoxification and begin the healing process in the gut.
It’s the foundation of fasting—and the easiest place to start seeing results. A 12 hour fast allows the gut to rest and gives the liver a chance to go through a full detox cycle.
The Next Level: 24 Hours
At the 24-hour mark, fasting triggers stem cell activation and deep cellular repair.
This isn’t just about fat burning—it’s about giving your body a reset that supports long-term health, resilience, and anti-aging.
The Deeper Benefits of 48 Hours
Go further into fasting, and the results are amplified. Dr. Jockers reveals how your body taps into powerful mechanisms like autophagy, mitochondrial renewal, and enhanced brain function. These deeper fasts aren’t for every day, but they can transform your health when done strategically.
