I have not eaten anything for 24 hours.

On purpose!

I am sure that most of you have heard of #intermittentfasting by now. It is something that I have done on and off for some time now. For the most part it has been out of convenience for me more than something with any specific intent. I am doing something different now.

I have been #fasting for the purpose of #autophagy more and more. That means that my body is eating itself. that sounds bad at first, but the body is not eating the healthy tissues. Just the bad ones that are in the way. I am monitoring a skin tag to see if it decreases in size or disappears. These fasts have gone as long as 20 hours for me. One 20 hour fast seemingly caused a die off of bad gut bacteria. Not a fun day.

I will have fasted more than thirty hours by the time I wake up. I am hoping this will reset my gut flora in a very beneficial way. We shall see. The ultimate goal would be for my #dander to go away. That would be amazing. I'll be my own guinea pig for this one. #trustthescience .

I have a pigs head in the oven to celebrate my first intentional 30 hour fast. I am going to down a half gallon of creamy Jersey milk too. A breakfast feast!

Here's to better soil, better food, and better health!
