CORRECT FASTING: For fertile women, gut health + cellular detoxification. With fasting authority Dr. Daniel Pompa.

Dr. Pompa, doctor of chiropractic, and author of Beyond Fasting, is one of the most well-known authorities on cellular detoxification + fasting. He has his own incredible healing story: for over three years he was suffering from debilitating anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, panic attacks, mood swings, irrational anger, ringing in his ears and more. Fasting was one of the techniques he used to heal himself.

As fasting has become more "buzzy," there has been more and more bad and/or incomplete fasting information + protocols. I have had my own struggles with intermittent fasting in the past, which is why for the last few years I have completely avoided it.

Today Dr. Pompa + I discuss:

  • Weekly, monthly + seasonal fasting
  • How I tanked my hormones with Intermittent fasting
  • What I should have done
  • What most women do wrong in fasting
  • Cellular benefits of fasting
  • Who shouldn't be fasting
  • Fasting's role in healing the gut
  • The importance of diet variation
  • Common mistakes + myths of fasting
