In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down fasting as the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory tool available, walking through a detailed hour-by-hour timeline of what happens inside your body, from the first 12-hour gut and liver reset all the way out to the deep cellular healing of a 3-to-5-day fast.
You will learn exactly what your body is doing at each checkpoint of a fast, from the metabolic switch into fat burning at 14 hours, through the onset of autophagy and BDNF-driven mental clarity, to the dramatic rise in human growth hormone at 24 hours, the gut microbiome shift at 36 hours, and the full immune system rejuvenation that unfolds between 48 and 72 hours. Dr. Jockers also lays out a practical, step-by-step way to build up to longer fasts safely.
