Most people think fasting is just about skipping meals, but it is actually one of the most powerful resets you can give your body and mind.

In this episode of the Mindful Paths Podcast, Hari and Nick share their real experiences with fasting, from water-only and juice fasts to intermittent and 5:2 methods, breaking down what actually happens when you stop eating.

We cover how fasting boosts focus, lowers inflammation, speeds up recovery, and even triggers autophagy, your body’s way of recycling damaged cells. You will hear why Hari turned to fasting to heal a chronic injury, why Nick combines fasting with sauna and exercise, and the surprising benefits they have both seen in energy, appetite, and mental clarity.

This is not just theory, it is the science, the struggles, and the results. If you have been curious about intermittent fasting, extended fasts, or whether fasting is safe for you, this conversation will give you the practical insights you need to start (or level up) your own fasting journey.

Hit play to learn how fasting could transform your health, your mindset, and your daily habits.

Can owning less actually lead to a more fulfilled life?

In this deeply reflective episode of Mindful Paths, Nick Day and Hari Kalymnios dive into the psychology of clutter, the spiritual power of simplicity, and the emotional weight we carry, both physically and mentally. Through personal stories and practical insights, they unpack how minimalism and mindfulness can unlock peace, clarity, and resilience in a world full of distraction.

This is a conversation about more than just “tidying up.”

It’s about learning to let go, of material things, past stories, and the limiting beliefs that clutter our lives. Whether you’re overwhelmed by stuff, chasing meaning, or simply trying to live with more intention, this episode is a wake-up call to redefine what really matters.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, heavy, or disconnected… this might just be the mindset shift you need.
