Hi, Dr. Mindy here, and on this video, we're going to talk about
why you shouldn't drive fast. So if you're new to my channel,
welcome, we're going right in and an expert fast. So make sure
that you hit the notification bell, hit the subscribe button,
so you can get all the new videos I put out. There is a
whole bunch of videos here for you, if you want to master
fasting, this is a little more dry fasting is a little more
advanced, fast, but still really cool to put into your variation.
So and hopefully, if you're new, you will find everything you
want to learn about fasting on my channel, I am a woman on a
mission to get a million people here fasting, this is our way
out of chronic disease. Fasting is the fastest path back to
better metabolic health. And I hope you find that here, as you
go through these videos. And you guys that share this. Appreciate
you, we are in this together. And I'm so grateful for all your
kind comments. And I'm so grateful for those of you that
share it up. So this week, we've been doing a dry fast, this is
fast training week, hopefully you're getting your free box of
the element, you can win a free box of element minerals. In the
companion guide is all the information, they sponsor our
free or fast training weeks. So know that this is a resource for
you. Pretty cool that they give a whole box away. Pretty excited
to share that that abundance with you all.
On this video though, we're going to talk about something
that I don't normally talk about, which is when you
shouldn't fast. But with dry fasting, I think it's really
important that we're safe, because you're taking, it's
always important to be safe, but you're taking food, and you're
taking water out of the equation. So there are four
scenarios that I just don't feel like this is an appropriate
fast. And again, I just want to remind you, dry fasting is no
food, no water 12 to 24 hours. So the first reason that you
shouldn't dry fast is if you would like to try to dry fast
over 24 hours. If you want to do a three day dry fast, I say no,
I don't know any other way to say that. But no.
So I know you can go find some other people here on YouTube
that will say yes, I say no, the dry fasting under 24 hours.
Awesome. Over 24 hours. Not awesome. Okay, second scenario.
If you have kidney problems, you know, fasting in general can be
stressful on the kidneys. But when you start to take water out
of the equation, you're putting more strain on those kidneys.
Now, in general, when we throw some dry fasting in here in
there, a little hormetic stress on the kidneys on healthy
kidneys can be good for kidney repair, your kidneys are having
to detoxify you all the time. So I like dry fasting in the mix of
everything. But I'm just gonna say if you have any kidney
condition, dry fasting is not your fast. Okay, number three,
if you are brand new to fasting, and you're like, Whoa, okay, I
was just going to intermittent fast. But now you got me
convinced on dry fasting? No, let's not start with dry
fasting. This is an advanced fast. So I really think you want
to play with the six other fasts that I teach here on this
channel, you want to definitely have your 15 hour, your 17, 24
hour, you want to have that down. Before you go into a dry
fast, this is more of an advanced fast. Also, if you're
struggling with fasting, and you're like, I can
barely do 17 Don't throw a dry fast in that is definitely not
the best option. So once you but a lot of you guys and I look at
your comments, you're doing really great with fasting, and
you need more variation. And this is a great one to throw in.
But if that's not you, if you're struggling, no dry
fasting. Okay. And then the last one is if you're on medications.
So I know I'm going to get this question. And it's going to be
well, I want all the benefits you talked about with dry
fasting. But I have to take my thyroid medication at noon every
day or I have to take my blood pressure at noon every day. If
you cannot take that medication earlier in the day when you are
before the sun gets up. Remember the rules of this week have been
you can have a cup of coffee, you can have water in the
morning before the sun comes up. Or you can't do that medication.
At the end of the day. When you eat your meal and you break your
fast if it has to be done in the middle of the day, then dry
fasting isn't your gig. That's not your that's not going to be
your jam. Okay, so mind the medication we always want to be
safe. So I really have all the facts I teach. This is the one
that worries me the most to teach on a public platform
because I don't want you to abuse the concept We know that
dry fasting is amazing for fat burning, we know that it's
amazing for brain health and skin health. I love it for these
three things. But I also want you to be safe and I want you to
dabble in it. I mean, this is really we know that Ramadan
fasting, this circadian dry fasting has been incredible for
centuries. So if you do it right, you can really benefit
from it. But those are the four conditions that I would say
absolutely no dry fasting. And if you want to learn how to vary
your fasts, come join me in the November fat burning reset, we
are starting a new one up, just put November fat burner reset.
This is a 15-day experience, where I guide you through all
different variations of fat or fat a fast so that you can lose
