Here is a humble yet grounded approach to eating something we don't really need... or maybe even want. We can swallow our pride instead and embrace the openness, healing and rejuvenation that fasting can offer.

Judging others can unknowingly create a self-limiting cycle. If we are trying to lose weight and move toward health we are moving toward freedom and away from limits. Let go of judgements for others and you open space for more compassion for yourself. Further building the positive energy to move forward.

There are all kinds of ways to force weight loss, but there are only a few ways to do it naturally and gracefully. Fasting space is one of the most powerful, and the way I teach it, the most thoughtful.

Fasting is open space to allow body fat to fulfill its natural purpose and power our system in the absence of food. This is how we use it, and release it. Fasting space sets an incredible natural foundation for every other practice of health. Choosing healthy foods, eliminating processed foods, moving our body in healthy ways and leaning into our mental health and wellbeing.

You are in the right place. Glad to have you here!

Fasting is a path toward metabolic health and healing but its roots go deeper. It reaches down into the core of our humanity. Health should be a unifying force. Health is not political. Our shared humanity is not political.

War is the antithesis of health and the lowest point of human existence. Already many on all sides of this conflict have been killed. Families shattered, lives destroyed, children killed and terrified.

Fasting is my response to this. Fasting for peace. Fasting in solidarity with those who are suffering. Fasting for the hope that all people of the world would lean into love at this moment in ordered to bring an end to the cycles of violence destroying our societies.

I welcome you to join me in this practice today.

Habits are the type of thing that can fade into the background. A key process in a weight loss journey is bringing awareness to our habits. Understanding how habits form also shows us how they can be changed. This is helpful for a fasting path or any wellness practice.

One of the greatest barriers to weight loss success is perfectionism. For example, we can set arbitrary rules in our mind and then get into cycles of judgement when we don't meet these rules or self-made expectations. It can keep us from taking any action at all out of fear of failure. This can be paralyzing.

Let's move beyond this destructive thought process and replace it with a vision of grace and sustainable progress.

The real willpower hack is needing less of it! The reality is the environments we inhabit shape the health choices we make every day. Whether we find our strength in the quiet solitude of nature or the vibrant energy of a city, we are learning how to design our surroundings to make fasting, nutrient-dense eating, and intentional movement the path of least resistance.

It’s time to stop fighting against our spaces and start building an environment where reaching our weight loss goals feels natural and sustainable. Let’s empower ourselves by creating the space we need to truly thrive.

Join me for a discussion of a vision of a fasting-based health system... right from the pages of one of the preeminent medical journals in America!

As a society we have not appreciated the profound nature of fasting. This article grounds us in the biological reality of fasting and inspires with a vision of bringing the healing potential into the mainstream of the system.

The potential is great. The realization of even a fraction of the potential will take much thoughtful, deliberate, compassionate and courageous effort.

Even if a grand vision like this is not realized in the short term, we can do our part and take the best care of our own selves that we can. Then radiate that health out to the best of our ability.
