Fasting for Healing – What Happens When You Stop Eating

Fasting isn’t starving — it’s strategic surrender. When you stop feeding the body, it starts feeding on what shouldn’t be there: toxins, inflammation, and imbalance.

Here’s What Fasting Actually Does:

• Triggers Autophagy: Your cells clean house, recycling damaged parts
• Reduces Inflammation: Less sugar = less fire in the body
• Rebalances Hormones: Especially insulin, cortisol, and growth hormone
• Sharpens Mental Clarity: Your brain works better in a fasted state

Holistic Tips for Safe Fasting:

• Start with intermittent fasting: 16:8 is a great entry point
• Drink water, herbal teas, or mineral-rich broths
• Include prayer or breathwork to make fasting a spiritual act, not just physical

Fasting isn’t punishment — it’s permission. Let your body do what it was built to do.
