yeah, it was almost exactly a year ago i did the same thing also, first time passing the 72h fast, and things got a lot better really quickly. i almost feel like i should just schedule one every month, and just schedule a monday or friday off ahead of time just always anyway, and do it monthly.

i'm hoping that this helps my cat too, he's also fasting along with me. he has an ongoing issue with ear mites and a cough that i hear at least 3-4 times every day. i'm pretty sure he's immunosuppressed and this also makes him allergic to a lot of shitty cat food. so i'm hoping that letting his gut empty out also will stimulate the autophagy and especially repair of damaged digestive system membranes. his belly also seems a bit bigger than it should be. mine is too but partly also from fat.

fasting allows the digestive system to repair. a lot of health problems start with something wrong in the gut.
