Fasting for optimal health and longevity - 2 Types
Intermittent fasting (IF)
Intermittent Fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and fasting. Rather than focusing on what to eat, it regulates when to eat. Common methods include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window), the 5:2 method (eating normally for five days and restricting calorie intake for two), and alternate-day fasting.
Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent Fasting has been shown to be a great way to cleanse the body and enhance longevity. If you decide to utilize this strategy it is imperative the you maintain optimum nutrition or you can undo everything you hoped to accomplish. I list my personal preferences at the bottom of the page.
DRY FASTING
Dry Fasting for Rapid Healing and Radial Life ExtensionThe Phoenix Protocol is a comprehensive analysis and recommended application of therapeutic dry fasting – the first book of its kind to introduce the work of the two Russian doctors who perfected and patented it. August Dunning has taken the science of dry fasting in a direction that no one has ever thought possible. The Phoenix Protocol reveals a logical way to restore youth and dramatically extend lifespan by at least 25 years. It’s the only book that scientifically describes the biological changes during a therapeutic dry fast. Drawing on the scientific literature that supports the premise, the book clearly explains how to heal illness and radically extend lifespan and maybe even more than that!
The Phoenix Protocol uses dry fasting for its predictable metabolic changes that occur during the transition from glycolysis into ketosis to initiate a more aggressive state of autophagy; a deeper state of cellular correction that cannot be achieved by the nightly period of repair during sleep. More importantly the book reveals a capability that has been unrecognized; a way to activate your own stem cells into replication. This book provides a means for a full body rejuvenation that no individual therapy currently available can achieve and has the potential to make your cells and body too young to die from old age. Today stem cell therapy is the buzzword in the anti-aging arena but it requires a costly investment. The Phoenix Protocol offers an alternative plan to activate and proliferate your own endogenous stem cells and it’s a lot cheaper…It’s free!
Note; The Author of this protocol strongly recommends slowly acclimating the stomach with easy foods like Bone Broth, soups and nutrition to avoid complications and maximize benefits. He specifically mentions Youngevity's BTT but Youngevity has come out with two enhanced products which provide an even broader spectrum of support and what I use personally (see below)
The misconception that a person can only survive for 3 days without water has been proven incorrect and the health benefits of being water deprived for 3-5 days is profound. That being said, dry fasting is , in my estimation, more difficult and one should research and understand the risks and benefits before implementing the protocol.

Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
- Weight Loss & Fat Burning – By extending the fasting period, the body shifts from burning glucose to burning stored fat for energy.
- Improved Metabolism – IF can boost metabolism and reduce insulin resistance, helping with blood sugar regulation.
- Cellular Repair & Longevity – Fasting triggers autophagy, a process where the body removes damaged cells, promoting cell renewal and longevity.
- Heart Health – IF may reduce risk factors like high cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health.
- Brain Health – Fasting enhances brain function, promotes neuroprotection, and may lower the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
- Simplified Eating Routine – Fewer meals can lead to better dietary discipline and reduced calorie consumption without strict meal planning.
