In this episode of the Mindful Paths Podcast, Hari and Nick share their real experiences with fasting, from water-only and juice fasts to intermittent and 5:2 methods, breaking down what actually happens when you stop eating. We cover how fasting boosts focus, lowers inflammation, speeds up recovery, and even triggers autophagy, your body’s way of recycling damaged cells. You will hear why Hari turned to fasting to heal a chronic injury, why Nick combines fasting with sauna and exercise, and the surprising benefits they have both seen in energy, appetite, and mental clarity. This is not just theory, it is the science, the struggles, and the results. If you have been curious about intermittent fasting, extended fasts, or whether fasting is safe for you, this conversation will give you the practical insights you need to start (or level up) your own fasting journey. Hit play to learn how fasting could transform your health, your mindset, and your daily habits.
