MAHA Living Ep. 6 - Fasting

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince dive into fasting as a foundational health practice, breaking down the differences between intermittent, extended, wet, and dry fasting while sharing their personal experiences and challenges. The conversation explores how fasting impacts mental clarity, discipline, metabolism, and spiritual growth, with a strong emphasis on why abstaining from food can be just as much about mindset as it is about physical health.

They walk through what happens inside the body during a fast, including shifts in insulin, ketosis, autophagy, and human growth hormone production, while also discussing practical strategies like preparing for a fast, managing hunger, and how to properly break it. The episode also touches on cultural habits around food, the social pressure to eat, and how modern eating patterns may be working against natural human biology.

From juice fasting to bone broth approaches and even extreme protocols, this episode frames fasting as a flexible tool for detoxification, metabolic control, and personal discipline, while encouraging listeners to find an approach that fits their lifestyle and goals.
