Most people think fasting is just about skipping breakfast. But what if 72 hours without food could actually reverse aging?

In this video, Dave Asprey breaks down what really happens when you fast for 3 days—and why short fasts don’t reach the deep repair zone your body is built for. You’ll learn:

The 3 critical stages your body passes through during fasting

How autophagy turns on and begins cellular repair

What mistakes destroy your progress (like bad refeeding or skipping electrolytes)

How to properly prepare, fast, and recover safely

Why fasting can make your mitochondria stronger, your mind sharper, and your cells younger
