Description

This is a clip from the Before Skool Podcast with Jordan River, the Creator of the Spirit Science Youtube channel. Full conversation can be heard here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwBG_EXueFI A 40-day fast, often for spiritual reasons like seeking deeper faith, involves abstaining from food (usually water-only) for an extended period, a practice found in many faiths, notably Christianity (Jesus' fast in the wilderness). While potentially offering physical benefits like fat loss and cellular repair (autophagy), it's an extreme practice that requires medical supervision due to risks like electrolyte imbalance and requires very careful refeeding to avoid refeeding syndrome. It's a significant commitment, often involving prayer, scripture, and sometimes alternative fasts (like sugar or social media) for those with eating disorders.

Carbs would be the last thing i would eat after a fast. bone broth is better.

Wowzers and amazement. Fasting has been calling to me so strong lately. And when he was trying to recall his divinely downloaded fasting start date, my own mind said "Let us begin a fast on Feb 11" and then (super)naturally he said Feb 11. Love being in sync with good folks

Your body needs fibre running through it constantly so that it can deposit excess hormones and toxins into, to get it out of the body. Stop fibre and you end up circulating toxins and hormones, not a good idea.

Try to interview Aaron Day. He did a 40 day fast last year with a purpose. He is a liberty advocate too.
