When I was in my 20s, I was burning the candle at both ends. I regularly jumped out of bed at 4:30 AM to hit the gym on my way to the office.

I had a group of casual friends that gathered in the early morning so those hours at the gym were also my social time. The facility had all the amenities. After working out, I had a mini spa day before dressing for work.

☀️ It was delightful!

It worked during those early years when I was single and had total control over my schedule.

Most days I ate a big lunch and skipped dinner … since I wasn’t too hungry and had to go to bed early.

Things started to go south when I began dating and then living with a man who would become husband #1. We often ate a rich restaurant meal at a time that was too late to maintain my demanding morning routine.🍽️

And that led to missing my morning workouts …

… which led to more stress …

… which led to a toxic build-up…

And an extra 10+ pounds.

In those days, I didn’t think of my approach to eating as fasting … or even digestive rest.

But that’s what it was!

It allowed me to maintain a very stressful life from 4:30 AM to 8:30 PM without too many ill effects.

When my fasting routine was disrupted, so was the proverbial apple cart. Symptoms were popping up and I was in a real-world Whac-a-Mole game.

Not fun! 👎

So, when I tell you that fasting is the key to maintaining your long-term health, I speak from decades of experience.

I’ve used it many times over the years … when my life has gotten a bit “out of control.”

It’s an easy way to restore balance. ⚖️

There’s lots of scientific evidence available now. We know what fasting is doing … and why.

But fasting is just another metabolism-wrecking diet if it isn’t done right.

That’s why I put together all of the tips and strategies I have assembled over the past 40 years into my Fast Well Challenge.

It’s a 10-day challenge that focuses on what I call Fast Well Week. ⏳

When you learn how to use fasting, it becomes an easy way to reboot your body and jump-start healing …

… in whatever way your body is calling for.

I’m running the challenge publicly for the first time from November 3 to the 12th.

There are lots of ways to fast. So don’t think you have to be ready to starve yourself for a week.

Starving yourself will do more harm than good.

Join me even if you’re only ready to dip your toe in the water.

It will never be easier … or less expensive to join me for the Fast Well Challenge. You can learn more about it and sign up here.
