In this episode, I head to the seaside to join my mother on a week-long fasting retreat. I cover some of the purported benefits of fasting and compare that with my own experience, recorded during the retreat. For sure, I can report significant weight loss of 6kg. But was it mostly water, muscle or fat loss?

Fasting is also associated with a series of physiological and psychological benefits, e.g., reported increases in clarity, mood, and even energy. Did that pan out? What worked and what didn't, and was it worth it?
