Fasting can be a very effective way to overcome metabolic disorders, autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, prevent some cancers, weight-loss and generally being an excellent practice for overall wellbeing and longevity.
However, fasting is a misunderstood practice and its explosion onto the dietary scene has proven to be extremely harmful. If abused or mismanaged, fasting can lead to temporary and even permanent metabolic issues, muscle loss and eating disorders. In some cases, it can even lead to tissue and organ damage, and even death. If you are getting your fasting protocol from a magazine, a website or an unqualified nutritionist and healthcare provider, then it might be in your best interest to stop, immediately.
Proper fasting needs to be supervised by your primary care physician and a nutrition specialist. It is a collaborative effort where we set out clearly mapped and manageable tasks and attainable goals. It requires discipline to do and even more discipline to stop when it is time to do so, whether expectations have or have not been met. When done properly, however, it is one of the most powerful tools in our healthcare arsenal, which can restore health and vitality, and possibility even extend healthspan and lifespan.
The services provided here will assess whether you might safely benefit from a fasting protocol and then deciding which approach best suits your needs, lifestyle and wellbeing (e.g. intermittent, 5:2, fasting-mimicking, time restrictive, OMAD, water fasts, etc.).
Note: medical supervision is obligatory – no exceptions.
