Is that dry fasting speeds up skin repair so there's two things we know
about this study, one is that it slows down premature aging of the skin and if you have any kind
of wound that you need to heal dry fasting has proven to be really helpful for repairing wounds

this one but I trust you are going to follow some good guidelines here now there are five
reasons you would want to dry fast I'll talk about what dry fasting is here in a moment
and then I want to finish this video up with it is fast training week and if you're new to my channel
at once a month five day period once a month we fast together we practice news fast and this one
is dry fasting so I will give you the rules to fast training week at the end of the video so
here's what dry fasting is it's exactly what it sounds like it is no food and no water so you guys
that are like what about my coffee that has water in it so no food no water for an and here's the
other things I want you to know about dry fasting and I will say this on every video this week
the research has shown that dry fasting from 12 to 24 hours for the healthy person is safe
over 24 hours I do not advocate or stand for over 24 hours so a lot of you guys ask us questions can
I dry fast more than 24 and the answer is no we do not recommend that and if you have a serious
medical condition I don't want you jumping into this dry fast even the short dry fast without
the support of your medical doctor. So here's what dry fasting is no food no water talked about
that what why would we do that and here's what's really cool and why I wanted to pick drive fasting
for fast training week is we have incredible research done on people who practice Ramadan and
those of you that practice Ramadan you know what I'm talking about but from sun up to sun
down no food no water it's a religious practice that has been done safely for years and years now
from a fasting perspective what's really cool is that we have a lot of research on dry fasting and
much of it that I'm going to bring you is actually dry fasting that way over a 30 day period
so I will make sure that I emphasize some of these results you're going to hear me talk about
have to be done over a 30-day period so here are the five reasons that you would want to dry fast
the first is you can burn more fat now there's an incredible study that was done on over 240 people
showing that after 20 days of this circadian dry fasting done through Ramadan
that every single person in the study every single one of them lost weight on the video after this
I'm going to break that study down for those of the of you that are interested
but for some of you that are approaching fasting building yourself a fasting lifestyle dry fasting
could be something really interesting to throw in so that you can lose more weight and burn more fat
okay second thing that we see in research is that dry fasting resets your immune system now this
one was done on only on 10 people for five days I do not advocate a five-day drive fast I will
link the study down there for those of you that want to see it but here's what
they found is that short-term dry fasting will improve antioxidants it's anti-ischemic so it'll
improve blood flow it's immune-stimulating if it helps with swelling and inflammation and these
were all done on again 10 people over five day period of dry fasting I'll leave that study below
number three the third reason you would want to dry fast is it reduces inflammation now this one
was done again on Ramadan fasting it was done on 50 healthy adults and what they found by the third
week of the Ramadan style dry fasting that the cytokine inflammation was at its lowest so
this is great what do we know about cytokines what have we been hearing about cytokines and cytokine
storms so really interesting that cytokine has been that word that's emerged in 2020 and 2021
and it goes way beyond catching a virus there are cytokine storms going on in your body that
are creating inflammation a chronic inflammatory response that's leading to things like joint pain
and you know general problems sleeping brain fog and what we see here
are 50 healthy adults that during Ramadan on the three weeks of this circadian dry fasting
what we're noticing is that cytokine storms come down that's pretty cool I'll link that study as
well number four and I have a whole video coming to you guys on number four because I'm fascinated
on this one is that dry fasting speeds up skin repair so there's two things we know
about this study one is that it slows down premature aging of skin and if you have any kind
of wound that you need to heal dry fasting has proven to be really helpful for repairing wounds
so this is pretty cool and that's why i'm going to do a whole separate video on it
but whoever would think about dry fasting for skin repair we tend to think skin is needing
hydration but there's a reason why so I will bring that to you and then the last one and probably my
personal favorite with dry fasting is the amount of bdnf you're gonna get when you dry fast
bdnf is like fertilizer for your brain so what we're finding is that dry fasting will improve
brain clarity it will help repair injured neurons it's a great tool for powering your brain up
so five really interesting ways we can use dry fasting and cycle it in what we're gonna do for
fast training week that I think will be really exciting you guys let me know what you think
is that our goal for everybody is to go 12 hours without food or water and I'm going to give you
two options on how you can do this you can mimic Ramadan style fasting where you get up before
the sun rises if you want your coffee if you want water you could have it but you're gonna
have it before the sun gets up now when the sun rises you're going to go 12 hours from the time
that you drank that water you drank your cup of coffee and you're going to after 12 hours
you can break your fast and have a ketobiotic meal what's ketobiotic we've talked about this
it is 50 grams of protein 50 grams of net carbs and then over 60 of your food coming from fat
but it has to be after 12 hours of dry fasting so that is option number one now option number
two is you could skip that morning water and coffee and just go anywhere from 12 to 24 hours
of dry fasting so that would mean your bedtime as well so you would go to sleep wake up no
food no water make sure you've gone at least 12 hours without which for a lot of you guys should
be pretty easy you may even stretch it more to 24 hours and then when you break your fast you
break it with ketobiotic so I hope you understand this again two options as always be really safe
and then know that we have the companion guide so if you want the companion guide just put companion
guide in the notes and I will send you a link so that you can get all the rules of this fast
training week in that companion guide but that's dry fasting really cool over the next five days
I'm gonna bring you a lot of cool research on it I think it's a great variation to work into your
fasting lifestyle I don't think we should do it for long periods of time but I think it's a
really helpful one for those five things I just talked about so if you've dry fasted with great
success put it in the comments so everybody can learn from it and as always I hope that helps.
