The Science

What Happens During a 72-Hour Fast

Your body undergoes remarkable changes when you fast. Here's what happens hour by hour.

0-12 Hours: Fed State

Your body is digesting and absorbing nutrients from your last meal. Blood sugar and insulin levels are elevated.

12-24 Hours: Fat Burning Begins

Glycogen stores are depleted. Your body starts breaking down fat for energy. Metabolism shifts to fat-burning mode.

24-48 Hours: Autophagy Kicks In

Cellular cleanup begins. Old, damaged cells are recycled. Growth hormone increases by up to 5x, promoting fat loss and muscle preservation.

48-72 Hours: Deep Ketosis & Healing

Full ketosis achieved. Enhanced mental clarity, reduced inflammation, and maximal cellular regeneration. The body enters deep repair mode.

Credible Quotes on Fasting

Wisdom on Longevity & Health

"If you've been fasting for a while, you already know that going most of the day without food is one of the best (and simplest!) ways to improve your health."

Dr. Mindy Pelz

DC, Author & Fasting Expert

"Intermittent fasting improves cognition, that is learning and memory, and protects nerve cells from dysfunction and degeneration."

Mark P. Mattson, PhD

Johns Hopkins University

"Fasting-based intervention can be very powerful or very damaging."

Valter Longo, PhD

USC Longevity Institute

Core Principles for Longevity

Longevity is built on consistent, compounding habits that improve metabolic health, cardiovascular fitness, and resilience—physically and emotionally.

Nutrition

Prioritize a plant-forward, nutrient-dense diet built around vegetables, legumes, berries, nuts/seeds, and high-quality proteins, while minimizing refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods. A simple filter is avoiding the "5 P's": pastries, pasta, pizza, processed snacks, and sugary products—foods that spike glucose, drive inflammation, and undermine energy stability.

Intermittent Fasting / Time-Restricted Eating

Create daily "rest" periods for digestion and insulin signaling by eating within an 8-hour window (for example, 12pm–8pm). This supports metabolic flexibility and helps many people regulate appetite and energy.

Physical Activity

Move daily, add strength training, and include cardio that improves VO₂ max—a strong marker of healthspan. Aim for a blend of zone 2 endurance, short higher-intensity efforts, and muscle-building work to protect metabolism and independence as you age.

Purpose and Community

Strong relationships, belonging, and meaning lower chronic stress load and improve mental health—two pillars of long-term wellbeing.

Advanced Diagnostics

Use personalized data (blood panels, micronutrients, lipids, glucose/insulin markers) to tailor nutrition and supplementation (e.g., Vitamin D, Omega-3s) and track progress over time.

Inspiration

Famous People Who Fast for Longevity

Fasting and time-restricted eating have become popular wellness tools—not just among researchers and clinicians, but also among well-known performers who rely on consistent energy, focus, and body composition.

Chris Martin

Coldplay

Follows a "6:1" routine—eating normally six days a week and doing one full fasting day (water) as part of his health approach.

Bruce Springsteen

The Boss

Uses an OMAD-style pattern (one main meal a day) to support his fitness and stage stamina.

Halle Berry

Actress

Practices intermittent fasting, often alongside a low-carb approach, to support metabolic health and consistency.

Jennifer Aniston

Actress

Follows 16:8 time-restricted eating—fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window.

These examples are shared purely as inspiration and proof that fasting has entered mainstream wellness culture. Your body, health history, and hormones are unique, so the safest approach is to choose a fasting style that fits your lifestyle—and to seek medical guidance if you have any conditions, take medication, or have a history of disordered eating.

The Science Behind a Water Fast

A structured, evidence-informed reset designed to support metabolic flexibility and cellular "clean-up" pathways.

What it is

A 72-hour water fast means consuming water only (no calories) for up to 3 days. As stored carbohydrate (glycogen) falls, the body shifts toward fat breakdown and increased ketone production—often experienced as steadier energy and reduced hunger after the first day.

Why 72 Hours?

When nutrients are scarce, the body downshifts "growth" signals and upshifts repair pathways. One of the best-known is autophagy, a cellular recycling process that helps clear out damaged components so cells can function better. The importance of starvation-triggered autophagy is so fundamental that it was recognized by the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The Science in Plain English

Growth Hormone

Fasting significantly increases growth hormone (GH) secretion, with measurable increases on day 1 and further increases by day 5—part of the body's strategy to mobilize fat and help protect lean tissue during fasting.

Growth Hormone Rising During Fasting
Fed 1.0x
Day 1 ~2x
Day 3 ~5x
Day 5 ~10x+

Based on Ho et al., JCI 1982

Cellular Regeneration

Research led by Valter Longo (USC) has shown that cycles of prolonged fasting can reduce IGF-1/PKA signalling and is linked (in preclinical models, with early human data in clinical contexts) to regenerative effects in blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells.

"Autophagy and 'cell renewal' are strongly supported mechanistically, but they're harder to measure directly in real time in humans, so we interpret benefits with scientific humility."

Who This Is For

This 72-hour fast may be suitable if you:

  • Are a generally healthy adult seeking a structured reset
  • Have fasting experience (or are supported through the process)
  • Want to explore metabolic flexibility, appetite reset, and discipline building

Who This is NOT For

Do not attempt a water fast if you are:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Under 18
  • Underweight or medically frail
  • Living with (or have a history of) an eating disorder
  • Using insulin or glucose-lowering medication, or have diabetes without clinical guidance

Who Should Get Medical Guidance First

Check with a clinician if you:

Have diabetes (any type) Take prescription meds that need food Have a history of gout Have kidney disease Have low blood pressure Have heart rhythm issues Have gallstones Are over 65 and concerned about muscle loss

Medical Disclaimer: This content is educational and not medical advice. If you feel unwell, dizzy, confused, have palpitations, fainting, or symptoms of low blood sugar, stop fasting and seek medical help.
