Fasting Experience:
I am wrapping up a 96 hour fast today. I did this to experience a deeper level of healing and sobriety.
Not gonna lie it was fucking hard. I wasn’t that hungry but I experienced detox symptoms AND a healing crisis that caused extreme fatigue, brain fog, body pain, swelling, nausea, and dizziness.
I was able to experience and confront some deeper layers of addictive behaviors and thoughts because food wasn’t an option to avoid, distract, or numb out.
The deeper healing is needed to remove toxins from years and years of drinking, accumulated stress, trauma, and to hopefully improve the long hauler symptoms I have been experiencing for over a year.
I continued to do daily breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement (slight stretching and shaking).
I drank Mermaid Tears (aka snake juice) religiously throughout. I was feeling so sick on the night of day 2 and day 3 that I drank some bone broth and that helped a lot. Since I didn’t reduce my caffeine intake before the fast 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️, I drank one cup of Smart Coffee a day. I didn’t want a migraine on top of the other symptoms so I chose the lesser of the evils
Day 4. Today I don’t feel well. My body hurts all over and feels super heavy. I’ve done enough cleansing and my body has definitely been in autophagy. Next fast will be easier.
Moving forward, I’m going carnivore (with an occasional salad or mango) to provide my body with the most nutrient dense foods. Fasting will be a part of my life now but not sure if a 96 hr fast will happen anytime soon 😂.
OMAD works for me most days and that alone will help with metabolic and immune health and autophagy.
So let the adventure into a deeper healing and sobriety state continue!

Fasting feels terrible! Some people say they feel alert and energized. I, like you, feel foggy and dizzy.
On the plus side, it gives you one heck of a strong immune system. I've read that the autophagy eliminates pre-cancerous cells too. So the health benefits are worth the misery.
Oh yeah, and you can easily lose 2 lbs per day.

Thanks y’all for your support!! Mermaid Tears is my variation of Snake Juice by Cole Robinson. And well I like mermaids & it sounds better 😂. I also call it Magical Unicorn Piss when I’m tired of it lol. It’s a homemade electrolyte replacement to prevent dehydration, cramps, low sodium from plain water, hunger, and the feelings of “keto flu”. It was a lifesaver-gross-but a lifesaver. Here’s the recipe:
2L Water
1 tsp Potassium 2560 mg (I use No Salt salt substitute)
1/2 tsp Redmond’s Real Salt 840 mg
1 tsp Baking Soda 1080 mg (I leave this out)
1/2 tsp Magnesium 200 mg (Calm Mag or Epsom Salt)
It’s waaaay more effective than than sports drinks and it’s recommended to use this during a fast AND if you’re on a low carb/Leto/canto diet to prevent electrolyte depletion. You can drink as much as you want but I recommende just drinking when you’re thirsty or hungry. No need to over due it.
