Join astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink and professor of nutrition Dr. Jim Painter as they discuss the science and spiritual insights behind fasting.
Fasting is more than a strategy for weight loss—it also offers several health benefits that go beyond the scale. When practiced wisely, fasting can improve insulin sensitivity, support better blood sugar control, and encourage the body to burn fat more efficiently. It also rests the digestive system, potentially reducing inflammation and promoting gut health. Some studies suggest that fasting triggers cellular repair processes like autophagy, which help clear out damaged cells and support longevity. Many people report improved mental clarity and energy while fasting, making it a practice that supports both physical and cognitive well-being.
