I have done up to 72 hour dry fasts, and months at a time of OMAD carnivore/low carb. Ketogenic lifestyle had already transformed my health, but fasting has given me back my energy and vitality, and cured me of depression.
I was on my 3rd day of a water fast with electrolytes when I saw Dr. Shawn Baker's talk with Dr. August Dunning on dry fasting. I was delighted to hear of a way to shorten my fast because I had something going on that I was tired of dealing with. It was inflammation in my neck, and I feel certain it stemmed from a root canal, which I did have it pulled, recently, and wanted to hurry up the process of healing. I immediately ventured into a 7 day dry fast. Yes, it was tough the last 2 days, but I stuck it out. Being an RN, I was able to monitor myself closely. I came out it of extremely slow... melting ice in my mouth, and finally, in a few hours, I started drinking a little at a time. Beef bone broth the next day... advancing to soft boiled eggs and so on. The fast did the job. I don't think I will ever do that again... at least not for 7 days stretch. I'm 68 and on no meds. Being that dehydrated is nothing to play with.
If you are a Nurse, would you be allowing any patients to do dry Fast for 7 days DURING HOT SUMMER when dehydration can cause Stroke and Heart Attacks in seemingly Healthy individuals? Would you allow as a Nurse to do Dry Fast after a Surgery which needs healing afterwards and without consulting your Surgeon who did the Surgery? (Assume your Oral Surgery Doctor or Periodontist or Dentist did allow you personally to specifically do DRY FAST DURING HOT SUMMER DAYS). Have you ever met a Surgeon who would recommend a Dry Fast after surgery for Healing Inflammatory response? If so, what types of Surgery Doctors really recommend DRY FAST after their surgery and where did they get their degrees and what Body part do they perform their surgeries?
Fasting should NOT mean avoiding water. In fact, I do drink water + Celtic / Sea Salt during my Fasting. Is 7 days Fasting necessary??? NO!!!!! 48 hours is enough.

We do intermittent fasting of 18 hours, sometimes OMAD, sometimes 24 hour fasting! I have been a steady 154 lbs for seven years now! Also strength training with dumbbells and kettlebells. Cycling twice a week. My diet focuses on animal protein and very little carbohydrates!
50 years ago I embarked on a 2 week distilled water fast. Day number 6 the psoriasis I had totally covering both my arms from elbow to shoulder completely resolved after 2 years of suffering with it. A dermatologist told me it was autoimmune and I would just have to live with it and use cortisone cream. It has never resurfaced and now I wonder if the fast repaired a mitochondrial malfunction?
At that time I was following Paul Bragg’s protocol and he had been doing it for decades. The developer of Bragg’s apple cider vinegar and Bragg’s liquid aminos. All I know is that at that time it worked 🤷♀️
Hi Mary, have you try baking soda, make a paste and apply to your dry skin area. Also, you make mix antibiotic powder or (scrushing pill), campho phenique and benedryl. apply to psoriasis area. It help.
I don't eat until 1pm then again at ~ 8pm which gives me a 17 hr break I've maintained the same routine for the past 20 years at least, for no other reason other than it suits my lifestyle. It's good to know I'm doing something right! 😊

I've been Keto/Ketovore for several years. Other TH-cam influencers also recommend Fasting. The one that works best for me, a 72 year-old female, about 235 lbs, is an 18 hour fast at least once or twice a week. One influencer said one doesn't really get or feel good effects of Fasting unless one goes at least 18 hours. Since I eat nutrient dense, high Carnivore-type meals, I can easily do 12 hours without batting an eye, and only start getting hungry after 16 hours. I just grit my teeth for the remaining two hours before eating a lean, high protein snack, then an hour later a full meal. I've tried a 12 hour Dry Fast, and I did lose a couple of pounds, but not sure if that was water, muscle, fat or whatever. Will do that only occasionally if feeling too bloated for too long. Totally agree about taking Electrolytes. Had a PE and resultant heart attack 9 years ago, and found out the hard way that I couldn't do more than an 8 hr. Fast without feeling terrible. Felt much better taking Electrolytes and now can go on longer if I take them during an 18+ hour Fast. May also take Black Coffee (with a few drops of Stevia); Green Tea and occasionally a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water, if I really feel the need to put something in my mouth during a Fast, but since acclimated to Fasting, I rarely now use those crutches.
I remember, a 14-16 fast was totally normal in my chiclhood. We had dinner at 17 and breakfast at 7 on weekends at 9. It is just now that people belive they could not survive without snacking. A healty baby over 4 kg normally eats not more often than 4 hours because he is not hungry. An adult has much more reserv to survive 4 hours without eating!

@@Vatsek You are not going to absorb much cholesterol from any food. Even Ancel Keys knew that dietary cholesterol was not really a problem.

I did a lot of intermittent fasting coupled with HIIT trying to get rid of my visceral fat. I thought my body would be intelligent enough to feed off the fat in my middle rather than go for my muscle. It did the opposite. In just a couple of weeks (I am a lean person), it depleted my muscles to the extent that I had to get specially cushioned footwear and fat, memory foam cushions to sit on, because it felt that i was walking and sitting on my bones. Belly fat reduced, but it was far from exhausted, for my body to pull such a thing on me. I believe my heart muscle also suffered, because I developed AFib. I have been on a low-carb diet for a month now and got back some of my muscle. There is left bundle branch blockage in my heart and I am trying to remedy it as much as possible by doing fasting, low carb and high protein plus fat, before my cardiologist's appointment next week when I will get a verdict about medication (hope to avoid or minimise), and hopefully, no procedure.

People find it difficult to regularly fast/Time Restricted Eating because they are addicted to eating because they driven by their hormones to eat. A diet of carbohydrates/sugar can be addictive. Fasting may not trigger autophagy if the insulin and or cortisol hormone levels are elevated. The other challenge is that autophagy levels are dependent on how healthy the immune system is working. Lack of electrolyte when breaking a fast can put a risk of a heart attack when breaking a fast known as the refeeding syndrome. Meal to reduce CVD is to maximize Omega3 and minimizes Omega6 and carbohydrates. Fasting limit carbs and the production of lipid/triglycerides/fats in the blood. Omega 3 helps remove LDL cholesterol used to patch up arterial blockage and inflammation.
The info given by Dr. Brad Stanfield relating to the supposed ineffectiveness of IF relative to simple caloric restriction was concerned only with weight loss. The results he presented did not talk about or address in any way the other - and frankly, much more important - health factors such as: allowing insulin levels to stabilize, allowing the body simply to 'rest' and clean out (almost always ignored by health pundits these days), promotion of autophagy (and thus associated benefits as outlined in this video regarding cardio health), promotion of stem cell growth and growth hormone increase, promotion of BDNF in the brain....etc., etc. It's almost as if there is a concerted effort by the mainstream medical crowd to 'diss' fasting and intermittent fasting...and any cheap, natural health practice that interferes with the whole pharmaceutical intervention industry. IF and fasting, along with exercise, are, should be, the two fundamental pillars of any health regime. In a better world, these two would be trumpeted from the proverbial rooftops by governmental health ministries around the world. Instead, we see, now that they have gained so much popularity, deliberate attacks upon these pillars of wisdom by mainstream medicine. Quel surprise.

Autophagy; fasting cleaning out your arteries. Mr. Ken made 14 different herbals to help organs and no eat 3 days and drank carot juice and oily oil in between bowel movemets, my blood pressure was great 96/64 and I felt great...
Not sure if you can answer this question, I'm 60, good health, low blood pressure. Started taking baby aspirin but stopped, every time I would get a headache for the whole day , only ibuprofen would clear the headache. Needless to say, I stopped until I can figure it out.
I have fasted off and on for two decades. Every time I fast for more than two days I get hypoglycemic and my blood sugar drops to 30s-40s. I am NOT on any medications, I exercise four or five times weekly (Peloton) and my BMI is always 22-23. Is something wrong? I have looked everywhere for information and all I ever find is to "stop the diabetes medications."
Dr. Brewer, I have been drinking a cocktail of extra virgin olive oil, chia seeds and cayenne pepper powder as recommended by another TH-cam doctor to help clean out arteries. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Wow!! Excellent video!! Would you ever consider employing wellness coaches so your subscribers can call in and get the necessary encouragement to stay on track? I personally think that would be extremely beneficial. On an unrelated matter, I enjoyed seeing the USS Midway during your jog. Just curious, what’s the bandage for on your neck, thanks again for great content. Oh by the way, I’m not surprised at the American Heart Association report, knowing how profitable it is for organizations due to the extremely unhealthy habits of Americans. Just recently learned who actually funds the FDA. I’ve often said, if you want to know the truth, follow the money trail.
Thanks! Yes we have a group of health coaches in our team already, the bandage, I deal with some skin cancers that require some dermatologic procedures from time to time
If your insurance covers it, ‘Verta Health’ is an insulin resistance app/clinic that has health coaching, labs, and a bunch of guides you can read through. Dr Ford’s info is a lot better, I just use Verta because work pays for it and they give me free labs/ glucose and ketones tracker.
I fast 22-23 hours every day. I am never hungry. But I can't fast more than 24 hrs because I can't sleep in a fasted state... I wonder how people do multi-day fasts and manage to sleep 😥
On the second day I toss and turn a lot. I just came off a 2 day plus fast. I felt like a slug today. My heart was fluttering a bit and I had to eat. I ate some boiled cabbage and a few hours later I feel great. Give up a little sleep and feel great later after you get some great results. Personally, I don't fast for more than two days. I don't know why my heart flutters; palpitations I think they call it but don't risk your health trying to get healthy. just do what you can. A 2 day+ fast is much more healing than a one day if your body can handle it. Raw vegetables are also very healing. You could try Camomile tea, it helps. I think.
Nice Video Dr. Brewer ! I tried prolonged fasting for the autophagy benefits... unfortunately I had a Herxheimer Reaction as I have had Mold Exposure and as I started to burn my fat cells, they released mycotoxins causing negative symptoms... any thoughts or recommendations ?
Dr Longo has made a worrying observation that skipping breakfast appears making people more vulnerable (to death). Also, eating earlier will allow your body consuming the food better during the day.
I have a sensation of walking on cushions, on both the soles. There is no swelling on soles, nether pain, , would request if this symptom signals any heart related problems

Hi Frewer ,Thank you so much for the video and for teaching us how to take good care of our heart health Appreciate you very much .
Hello there Jenny, how are you doing?
Great video Doc Ford. You covered it all with some new stuff and confirmations.
Good afternoon
From the UK dr ford.
@@lindapestridge3073 Good afternoon!!
I had a ct scan last week
HEART: Severe atherosclerotic calcification coronary arteries. Calcification aortic
valve leaflets.
PLEURA: Normal. NOT SURE BUT NEED TO NATURALY DECREASE THIS I EAT ONCE A DAY 205 LBS
I just started eating Kerry Gold cheese. So good and no carbs or sugar. Grass fed butter snd cheese is the best!
"carbs"
Reductionist thinking much?
do you really think after watching the section on inflammation that cheese and butter are a good idea?
It tastes delicious. Still trying to figure out the cholesterol in it.
@@mjs28s I don't suggest making a whole meal only dairy, but a bit of dairy is unlikely to be a problem for most people. *All* foods cause some level inflammation. Some of us do just fine with dairy. Some Europeans are possibly even adapted to needing higher amounts of calcium from dairy.
@@Vatsek You are not going to absorb much cholesterol from any food. Even Ancel Keys knew that dietary cholesterol was not really a problem. Your liver is really good at making cholesterol and makes most of what you have flowing through your system. Also don't confuse lipoproteins (eg LDL) with cholesterol.
@@trail.blazer Tell us more, I hate it when they label LDL as bad cholesterol and I was glad to hear Barbara O'niel say that our bodies need LDL to power some parts of the brains.
I guess many people are yet to understand the Cholesterol interplay in the body. When we do then we would understand that the human body as well as every living being is a mass of complicated super working machine created by a superb Master Designer. We are indeed awesomely and greatly made. All praise the Lord God Who made us so wonderfully great!
As Muslims, we do dry fast for one straight month in Ramadan everyday from sunrise until sunset.
You sure? what you eat before sunrise is all greasy food and sugary deserts
@ It depends on personal preferences, some people ruin their fast with junk food in the evening but others enhance their fast with balanced diet.
@@ahmed12op How many of you eat a balanced diet after fast? All your food is loaded with sugars and fats
@ You are right, the majority of people eat junk food as it is everywhere in the world
@@ahmed12ophumans are carnivores. A species specific, species appropriate diet does not include balance for carnivores. Herbivores don’t eat a balanced diet.
Dr. BREWER ,Following your guidance and 2 others switching a bit going mostly carnivore i have gone down a bit over 200.
Norma daily 18 / 6 fast.
Probably 85 % carb decrease. I do supplement key vitamins. Im 70 . Gone from 3- 4 x to XL now.
B1 reversing I. Large heart high dos and for heart problems
Thank you so much which my partner would listen to you ❤so difficult for him to understand about insulin and you are so good at explaining 👌👍🙏💚
I've done 5 day fasting mimicking every year since I read about it Dr Longo's book. I found it much easier than water fasing.
Thank you for your efforts.
This is why I love your channel so much! Thank you for the real information. So much noise out there today. Even though I’m on a high carb plant based diet my fasting insulin is really low and so is my A1 c. I do time restricted eating and have not worked into a fast because at 64 and 105lb not much wiggle room. What are your thoughts on a green juice fast?
Thank you so much Dr. Brewer.
I am following your channel from Brazil and learning a lot with you!
Thk you Dr Brewer for this important information!
Hello there Linda, how are you doing?
thank you for the very well presented topic!
Excelente vídeo informativo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️🐶♥️♥️♥️
Thanks. Totally support and agree.
I did a lot of intermittent fasting coupled with HIIT trying to get rid of my visceral fat. I thought my body would be intelligent enough to feed off the fat in my middle rather than go for my muscle. It did the opposite. In just a couple of weeks (I am a lean person), it depleted my muscles to the extent that I had to get specially cushioned footwear and fat, memory foam cushions to sit on, because it felt that i was walking and sitting on my bones. Belly fat reduced, but it was far from exhausted, for my body to pull such a thing on me. I believe my heart muscle also suffered, because I developed AFib. I have been on a low-carb diet for a month now and got back some of my muscle. There is left bundle branch blockage in my heart and I am trying to remedy it as much as possible by doing fasting, low carb and high protein plus fat, before my cardiologist's appointment next week when I will get a verdict about medication (hope to avoid or minimise), and hopefully, no procedure.
54 waist to 41 by eggs , grass fed ground beef , some pork and chicken . Last step is now getting off Monster energy drinks i enjoyed was most difficult
Pure Sugar!. 😮
Great content ❤ absolutely 💯. I used to be vegan for many years and I was doing keto and intermittent fasting same day . All the above are tools to use as you have pointed out correctly but people don’t really listen. 😄 anyway, keep up the fantastic work. Ciao from down under..
Thank you for this valuable information doctor. Watching from the Philippines
Thank you
Fasting ....great convo ..Tq
Fasting has saved my life at least once. Thanks for the good medicine doc. New to your channel
Thank you very much
Thank you Doc ✌️🍀🍀
People find it difficult to regularly fast/Time Restricted Eating because they are addicted to eating because they driven by their hormones to eat. A diet of carbohydrates/sugar can be addictive. Fasting may not trigger autophagy if the insulin and or cortisol hormone levels are elevated. The other challenge is that autophagy levels are dependent on how healthy the immune system is working. Lack of electrolyte when breaking a fast can put a risk of a heart attack when breaking a fast known as the refeeding syndrome. Meal to reduce CVD is to maximize Omega3 and minimizes Omega6 and carbohydrates. Fasting limit carbs and the production of lipid/triglycerides/fats in the blood. Omega 3 helps remove LDL cholesterol used to patch up arterial blockage and inflammation.

How is "clean arteries" measured? Plaque reversal using Cardio angiogram? Plaque stabilization, Is it measured using calcium score? Thanks!
The info given by Dr. Brad Stanfield relating to the supposed ineffectiveness of IF relative to simple caloric restriction was concerned only with weight loss. The results he presented did not talk about or address in any way the other - and frankly, much more important - health factors such as: allowing insulin levels to stabilize, allowing the body simply to 'rest' and clean out (almost always ignored by health pundits these days), promotion of autophagy (and thus associated benefits as outlined in this video regarding cardio health), promotion of stem cell growth and growth hormone increase, promotion of BDNF in the brain....etc., etc. It's almost as if there is a concerted effort by the mainstream medical crowd to 'diss' fasting and intermittent fasting...and any cheap, natural health practice that interferes with the whole pharmaceutical intervention industry. IF and fasting, along with exercise, are, should be, the two fundamental pillars of any health regime. In a better world, these two would be trumpeted from the proverbial rooftops by governmental health ministries around the world. Instead, we see, now that they have gained so much popularity, deliberate attacks upon these pillars of wisdom by mainstream medicine. Quel surprise.
Exercise!!! Best autophagy
Please discuss clogged VEINsS and anything else that cause stroke, heart attack, PE too
Fasting reduces the plaque in the veis, The body consumes it for energy when fasting. Thus unclogging veins.
Veins don't clog
Only arteries have plaque
@@johnd4348what the h3ll the video just explained
Watch the video
Eat Fennel
I sure like to see how many Drs. Are talking about this. I’m 77 and started out with Dr. Atkins and I think that’s why I still run ride a unicycle and continue to research and improve myself. Thanks
You do realize that Dr. Atkins had heart disease right?
@@angelaparker4259dr Atkins had cardiomyopathy caused from a virus not food.
@@angelaparker4259 Dr Atkins had cardiomyopathy caused from a virus.Heart disease can be caused from several things.
@@angelaparker4259I thought dr brewer had problems as well.
have had recent temporary loss of vision in one eye approx 1 month ago, they suspect a mini stroke and put me on 80mg atorvastatin and 1 tab clopidrogel and a mini aspirin, I am a superfit 65 yr male , apart from these drugs making me feel ill . Have chopped the statin in half and sometimes i do without it if i feel ill. Wondered if you are allowed to comment ? Thanks for the vids and God Bless.
Very important vidio especially electrolytes balances. Excellent sharing great vidios. God bless.
Do your research on statins...horrible meds 😢
@@paulasnaturalthanks for confirming my suspicions, have modified diet ( nearly vegan ) and taken plant sterols , feeling good with no further episode.
@@paulasnatural thanks for confirming my suspicions, have stopped them and have just modified my diet ( nearly vegan ) and am taking soya lecithin, had no probs so far .
@@1959AD do your research on carnivore diet....at least research why the cholesterol lies and why it's good for you...low carb ,high fat, moderate protein is the best diet...IMHO ...DR CHAFFEE, DR LUSTUG, DR BRIGHT ,DR BARRY..all should help..God bless
Would fasting Friday to Monday every week end, 4 times a month be beneficial to removing plaque from the arteries. How would you know if its removing plaque.
Hi Dr. Ford Brewer, I watched your video on Aspirin and I would really like to hear your opinion on whether it can be used if there is a sartan group blood pressure medicine in use, such as Telmisartan, or Valsartan, etc.? you are doing a great job by sharing life-saving instructions on TH-cam, greetings from Finland.
Prevention trumps everything 🎉❤
Dr Ford Brewer. Dr Jesus Vega. In Tha House!!!!! Andre
I am going to try fasting for a few hours per day, Then you very much
Fasting and Nattokinase to reduce the plaque
Fast and pray.
Amen. One of the pillars of Islam is a mandatory month of fasting.
Sunup to sundown. Not even water. We concur with Dr
Prayer is optional. Please do not confuse science with superstition.
@@EricAdamsonMI. Superstition?
Jesus is Way, the Life and the Thruth ❤
He tells us to fast
@@rvsamsung77Amen!
What is superstitious is you not accepting your maker
I endorse this message
Great info, Doc! My problem is I'm severely underweight (5'8" 109 pounds) and can't afford to lose any more weight.
Add muscle mass.
fat not desirable.
Vigorous strength training and no cardio, might help.
Thank you Dr Brewer
I’m new to your channel. Can you have more discussion about fasting for under weight people.
How do I balance between the two🤷🏻
Thanks for pointing that out will do cover more on that
Thank you!
Any data regarding what would be more effective, especially regarding autophagy, fasting one day a week or a longer fast, say 3 days once a month
Yes, there is still limited data, but so far most show fasting is a positive practice

Autophagy; fasting cleaning out your arteries. Mr. Ken made 14 different herbals to help organs and no eat 3 days and drank carot juice and oily oil in between bowel movemets, my blood pressure was great 96/64 and I felt great...
The purpose of the Hart Association is to sell junk food.
It's heart
Prolon now has a low glycemic version of its FMD called LNutra.
Not sure if you can answer this question, I'm 60, good health, low blood pressure. Started taking baby aspirin but stopped, every time I would get a headache for the whole day , only ibuprofen would clear the headache. Needless to say, I stopped until I can figure it out.
What do you think of egg fasting or bone broth fasting ?
Really good
Did you mention
Muscle loss during fasting
I have fasted off and on for two decades. Every time I fast for more than two days I get hypoglycemic and my blood sugar drops to 30s-40s. I am NOT on any medications, I exercise four or five times weekly (Peloton) and my BMI is always 22-23. Is something wrong? I have looked everywhere for information and all I ever find is to "stop the diabetes medications."
Hello there, how are you doing?
Dr. Brewer, I have been drinking a cocktail of extra virgin olive oil, chia seeds and cayenne pepper powder as recommended by another TH-cam doctor to help clean out arteries. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Didn't label outermost
Intima, media and outer muscle wall
Wow!! Excellent video!! Would you ever consider employing wellness coaches so your subscribers can call in and get the necessary encouragement to stay on track? I personally think that would be extremely beneficial. On an unrelated matter, I enjoyed seeing the USS Midway during your jog. Just curious, what’s the bandage for on your neck, thanks again for great content. Oh by the way, I’m not surprised at the American Heart Association report, knowing how profitable it is for organizations due to the extremely unhealthy habits of Americans. Just recently learned who actually funds the FDA. I’ve often said, if you want to know the truth, follow the money trail.
Thanks! Yes we have a group of health coaches in our team already, the bandage, I deal with some skin cancers that require some dermatologic procedures from time to time
Thankyou for this video! I too am dealing with skin cancer. Prayers for you🙏
If your insurance covers it, ‘Verta Health’ is an insulin resistance app/clinic that has health coaching, labs, and a bunch of guides you can read through. Dr Ford’s info is a lot better, I just use Verta because work pays for it and they give me free labs/ glucose and ketones tracker.
I fast 22-23 hours every day. I am never hungry. But I can't fast more than 24 hrs because I can't sleep in a fasted state... I wonder how people do multi-day fasts and manage to sleep 😥
Right there with you. Wide awake with an empty belly. Repeat, WIDE awake.
Same here, im never hungry! I eat for nutrients not hunger
Are you doing keto or carnivore?
Same here. Sleeping while being hungry... impossible.
On the second day I toss and turn a lot. I just came off a 2 day plus fast. I felt like a slug today. My heart was fluttering a bit and I had to eat. I ate some boiled cabbage and a few hours later I feel great. Give up a little sleep and feel great later after you get some great results. Personally, I don't fast for more than two days. I don't know why my heart flutters; palpitations I think they call it but don't risk your health trying to get healthy. just do what you can. A 2 day+ fast is much more healing than a one day if your body can handle it. Raw vegetables are also very healing. You could try Camomile tea, it helps. I think.
I’ve never thought of a BMI of 20 being “very thin”
Cleansing is also good
Nice Video Dr. Brewer ! I tried prolonged fasting for the autophagy benefits... unfortunately I had a Herxheimer Reaction as I have had Mold Exposure and as I started to burn my fat cells, they released mycotoxins causing negative symptoms... any thoughts or recommendations ?
I’ve been fasting since I was a kid and average of 16 hours a day. I’m 38 I’ve always skipped breakfast except in a few instances.
Children shouldn't skip breakfast.
@@josephjroy6593 why?
@@dontfit6380 because they are growing.... It's common sense.
Dr Longo has made a worrying observation that skipping breakfast appears making people more vulnerable (to death). Also, eating earlier will allow your body consuming the food better during the day.
@@tiitulitii 😂 he’s a vegan.
Do you advise taking an electrolytes if FH is a concern?
Wat about eating avocado
How should I do that with every second day of riding my racebike? Where do I get the power from while fasting? Thank‘s for the very good explanation!👍
Don’t do it - until you are very fat-adapted. That will take 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you do it.
I have a sensation of walking on cushions, on both the soles. There is no swelling on soles, nether pain, , would request if this symptom signals any heart related problems
Caa as n you if you have low blood pressure?
Dr Ford have you ever go for Calcium score? I wonder what is your score if you did.
