🧠⏳ FASTING IS A BIOLOGICAL RESET. NOT A DIET
Most people think fasting is about weight loss.
That’s surface-level thinking.
Fasting is about hormones, cellular repair, and metabolic control.
When you eat constantly, insulin stays elevated.
When insulin stays elevated, healing cannot happen.
Here’s what your body actually does when you stop eating ⬇️
12 HOURS
Your body finishes digesting. Liver glycogen drops. Blood sugar stabilizes.
This is where the detox cycle truly begins.
14 HOURS
Insulin and blood sugar fall further.
Fat burning finally turns on.
16–18 HOURS
Ketones rise and begin fueling the brain.
BDNF increases, supporting memory, focus, and neuroprotection.
Autophagy begins: damaged cells are identified and recycled.
18–24 HOURS
Inflammation decreases.
Deep cellular cleanup accelerates.
Your body starts prioritizing repair over growth.
24 HOURS
Human Growth Hormone spikes dramatically
(up to 2000% in men, 1300% in women).
This supports fat loss, muscle preservation, and tissue repair.
24–36 HOURS
The gut microbiome shifts.
Old immune cells are broken down.
New intestinal stem cells begin forming.
36–48 HOURS
Autophagy is significantly elevated.
Immune system rejuvenation accelerates.
Your body becomes highly insulin sensitive again.
48–72 HOURS
Autophagy peaks.
Stem cell production increases.
The body enters a deep regenerative state rarely accessed in modern lifestyles.
This is not about extremes.
This is about timing, intention, and understanding biology.
Food is information.
So is fasting.
🌿 Support your fast correctly.
💛 Respect your body’s intelligence.💫
