My 75-year-old mum just did a 3-day water fast.
Not because she was sick, or because she had to.
She had been curious for a long time, but never felt the pull to try — until she heard about my cousin, who suffered from migraines for over 20 years.
Nothing helped.
She had seen doctors, specialists, neurologists… no one could really explain why, or offer lasting relief.
No one ever asked her about food.
It's after a 3-day water fast that her migraines disappeared. Completely.
She discovered that gluten, dairy, and alcohol triggered her migraines. Not just mild symptoms — but 5-day-long episodes.
That’s when my mother, at 75, got curious.
“What if I try this too?”
So she did. A 3-day water fast.
And even though she didn’t suffer from migraines or chronic illness, she came out of the experience feeling lighter, clearer, calmer — more in tune with herself.
And that’s the thing.
Food — or pausing from food — can show us so much. Not just in dramatic ways, but in the gentle, quiet things we’ve learned to live with: fatigue, mood swings, poor sleep, bloating, that feeling of being just a bit off.
Most women after 40 live with these symptoms, thinking it’s just “normal,” part of aging.
But what if it’s not?
We were never taught how food affects our mood, our hormones, our sleep. We were never taught how to listen to the body properly. We weren’t shown that something as simple as resting the digestive system for a day or two could bring so much clarity.
This is the work I love.
Supporting women to reconnect with their body, to feel better — naturally.
There is so much wisdom inside us.
Sometimes we just need a little stillness to hear it.
