People have fasted for centuries, long before it became a biohacking buzzword, and it's been part of my own daily rhythm for years. ⏳
Here's how I think about it.
When you give your body a proper break from food, it gets a chance to do some housekeeping. It shifts towards using stored fuel, your insulin sensitivity can improve, and your cells get time for their own clean-up process, called autophagy.
For many people, the first thing they notice is steadier energy, without the mid-morning crash.
But start at your own pace, perhaps just by leaving a longer gap between dinner and breakfast, and find what works for your body and your schedule.
Focus on what you are gaining, not what you are missing, and remember that fasting isn’t for everyone.
