The Wellness Way - Steubenville

I'm sharing my experience halfway through a 22-day fast, discussing how what seems extreme is actually feeling fantastic. I talk about my improved energy, sleep quality, mental clarity, and gut health, while addressing the emotional challenges of watching food commercials and social invitations. I explain my careful plan for reintroducing food with diverse fiber, the importance of having support like Dr. Flynn, and how this challenge is building my confidence to handle life's difficulties. I also recommend starting with shorter fasts first and encourage viewers to reach out with questions.

I'm sharing my Day 10 update on my 22-day fast, where I've officially broken my personal record of nine days. I'm feeling great with improved clarity and reduced blood pressure, though I admit to feeling a bit bored. I'm monitoring my health closely through weekly blood work and daily blood pressure checks. I want to reach out to anyone struggling with health changes or feeling overwhelmed—I've tried everything in the past and can offer guidance based on my experiences. I emphasize that there are no magic pills or quick fixes, but with proper investigation into what your body needs, we can work together to help you succeed this time.

I'm sharing my day 9 fasting update where I'm experiencing improved clarity, stable blood pressure, and better fat adaptation. I discuss the key differences between how men and women respond to extended fasting—explaining why men benefit from increased testosterone and growth hormone while women may experience cortisol stress and hormone disruptions. I recommend time-restricted eating for women seeking fat loss and emphasize that it's never too late to make health changes, regardless of age. I'm confident about completing my 22-day fast and planning a more intimate video series about this journey.

We discuss day eight of a fasting protocol, sharing how we've made it through the first week with some initial challenges. We talk about the importance of electrolytes and hydration for maintaining physical resilience and mental sharpness. We then review our blood work results in detail, explaining what we're monitoring (CBC, metabolic panel, and lipid panel) and why elevated cholesterol and triglycerides are actually expected during fasting as the body burns fat for energy. We emphasize the importance of tracking your body's response through regular blood work and vital signs when undertaking this kind of health journey.

I'm sharing my experience on day seven of an extended fast. I'm feeling mentally clear with good energy, but noticing reduced physical stamina and early detox symptoms like itchy skin and changes in breath and body odor—all signs that autophagy is working. I explain how fasting helps the body clean up damaged cells and why I'm monitoring my metabolic health through blood work. I'm about a third of the way through, and while it's emotionally challenging, I'm committed to documenting this journey daily to inspire others that it's never too late to take control of your health.

I'm sharing my day six update on my health journey, discussing how I'm feeling better than ever. I talk about how my fluid levels and hydration are now balanced, my blood pressure has improved, and I'm managing my sodium intake properly. I discuss the challenges of making lifestyle changes and why I'm choosing to commit to this difficult path. I also share my personal story about taking responsibility for my health, explain why I'm being transparent about my journey, and encourage others who may be struggling with similar issues to reach out for support and guidance.
