Episode 2.13 - Fasting: What Happens When You Stop Eating? | Loren Lockman

We spend a lot of time thinking about what we should eat. But what happens when we choose not to eat at all? This week on Fountains of Youth, Micah and Dr. Rachel Myers are joined by fasting expert Loren Lockman, who has spent decades studying nutrition, natural health, and extended water fasting. Loren shares the personal health journey that first led him down this path and what he says he has learned from guiding thousands of people through supervised fasts—some lasting weeks rather than days. We explore what happens during a fast, why Loren believes extended fasting can be beneficial, what makes a multi-week fast very different from simply skipping a meal, and the importance of safety and supervision. We also talk about our relationship with food, the mental and emotional experience of going without it, and even the different reasons people choose to fast. And this is still Fountains of Youth, so things don't stay serious for long. We tackle some questionable Urban Dictionary terms, attempt to turn them into poetry, and play a classic game of Pasta or Composer. Can fasting play a role in staying young in mind, body, and spirit? Join us for a fascinating conversation with someone who has made studying that question his life's work.
