Arbitrarily Limiting Fasting Duration to 40 Days for Safety

The fasting duration at True North Health is limited to 40 days based on the experience of a practitioner who found that longer fasts can lead to electrolyte balance challenges and sleep deprivation. By capping the fasting period, they have maintained a high level of safety with 25,000 people completing the program. This limitation is arbitrary yet effective in minimizing complications and ensuring patient safety.
