What Happens If You Don't Eat for 72 Hours? | Complete Fasting Guide

Fasting is one of the most powerful healing practices in human history—it’s free, requires zero equipment, and your body is literally designed for it. But while it sounds simple, there is a wrong way to do it, especially when it comes to the hormonal "engine switch" that happens in the first 24 hours. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happens in your body during a 3-day fast, from clearing out "zombie cells" to the 60% drop in aging markers.
