The biggest permanent improvement I had (rivaling the ivermectin improvement), was a 7-day water fast. But because my body was weak, it was extremely hard to fast. It felt nearly impossible to go longer than 3 days. However, somehow I was able to do it at one point, and it got rid of my chronic migraines. But eventually, I was able to attempt dry fasting. Dry fasting was amazing. I could not believe that I did not have the hunger pangs that I associated with the first few days of a water fast. I also could not believe how quickly my body felt improved. I felt better within the first 24 hours, due to the absolutely insane anti-inflammatory effects that dry fasting has on the body. My first dry fast was 4.5 days. I refed decently, but not as well as I would have now, I probably stopped refeeding correctly on day 3, but even then I was eating too much anyways. Regardless, after a few days post-fast, I started to have the energy to jump out of bed in the morning. I could cry from happiness. yannick@dryfastingclub.com website: https://dryfastingclub.com Discord link: https://discord.gg/yHUhW2Wjc7

In this episode, we dive deep into how the Metabolic Trinity actually works to heal your cells. You'll learn about the two ways your body clears out trash and why dry fasting activates a special "emergency" path for deep cleaning that water fasting can't reach. We also explain "metabolic hibernation"—why your internal energy drops during chronic illness and why T3 therapy is required to power your recovery. Finally, we look at how dry fasting can boost immune cell efficiency by 54% and how growth hormone signals your body to rebuild. We show why doing just one or two pillars isn't enough to beat chronic illness and why sequence is everything.**Scientific References:*** *Hyperosmotic Stress Induces Unconventional Autophagy Independent of the Ulk1 Complex* - Proving the fast "backdoor" cleaning path used in dry fasting.* *Dynamics of Basal Metabolic Rate During Absolute (Dry) Fasting* - Showing how the body saves energy (14%) and why tissue-level testing is more accurate than blood tests.* *Dry Fasting and the Immune System* (Khoroshilov) - Documenting the dramatic increase in immune strength and killing efficiency during dry fasting (+54% NK cell boost).**Helpful Resources:*** Dry Fasting Club: https://dryfastingclub.com* The Scorch Protocol Hub: https://dry-fasting-club.github.io/scorch-protocol/index.html**Medical Disclaimer:**The content in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In the first video, we talked about the Metabolic Trinity. But why hasn't your doctor told you about it? In this video, we show the flaws in modern medical testing that make chronic illness invisible. Using three clinical studies, we explain why doctors check your blood instead of your tissues. We also look at why they don't test your actual energy levels. You'll learn about the "cellular trash" (MMWP) that makes you feel sick every day—and why your doctor never looks for it. This is why the medical system struggles to fix chronic illness, and why you can't wait for permission to start healing your own body.**Scientific References:*** *Dynamics of Basal Metabolic Rate During Absolute (Dry) Fasting* - Shows the 14% energy drop that blood tests miss.* *Content of Medium Molecular Weight Peptides During Absolute Fasting* - Explains the cellular trash that doctors don't measure.* *Clinical and Laboratory Criteria for Assessing Severity of Patients' Conditions* - Shows the gap between how patients feel and what medical tests show.**Helpful Resources:*** Dry Fasting Club: https://dryfastingclub.com* The Scorch Protocol Hub: https://dry-fasting-club.github.io/scorch-protocol/index.html**Medical Disclaimer:**The content in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Why do standard treatments for Long Covid and ME/CFS fail? Because they treat symptoms, not the cellular collapse. In this video, we break down the definitive "Metabolic Trinity" protocol: combining the hyperosmotic stress of dry fasting, the metabolic forced-restart of T3 therapy, and the regenerative power of hGH. We explain the physiology of why "Tissue-Level Hypothyroidism" is keeping you sick despite normal blood work, and how the "Unconventional Autophagy" pathway works to clear viral reservoirs that water fasting can't touch.Scientific References:Hyperosmotic Stress Induces Unconventional Autophagy-dependent Cell Death* - Investigating the unique cleaning pathways triggered by dehydration.Thyroid Hormone Transport into Cellular Tissue* - Understanding the gap between serum levels and tissue sufficiency.Helpful Resources:* Dry Fasting Club: https://dryfastingclub.com* The Scorch Protocol Hub: https://scorchprotocol.com**Medical Disclaimer:**The content in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

https://dryfastingclub.comhttps://dry-fasting-club.github.io/sc...The Scorch Protocol is a revolutionary approach to healing chronic illnesses like Long Covid and Autoimmune disease by combining the power of dry fasting with specific metabolic bridges. In this video, we explore the unique genetic challenges faced by people of Northern European descent, specifically the "hibernation gene" theory and how it impacts metabolic rate after fasting. We dive into why dry fasting is a powerful tool for cellular clearance and autophagy, but also why it requires a structured rebuilding phase using T3 and hGH to prevent metabolic tanking. If you've been searching for the middle ground between fasting extremism and standard medical care, this deep dive into the Scorch Protocol will provide the mechanistic answers you've been looking for to restore your health.Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and does NOT constitute medical advice.

Are you curious about the relationship between aldosterone and dry fasting? Aldosterone is a critical hormone responsible for regulating fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, particularly sodium and potassium levels. During dry fasting, the absence of water intake can put stress on the body’s ability to maintain hydration, making aldosterone’s role even more essential. As aldosterone rises in response to fluid restriction, it helps conserve sodium and water, allowing the body to adapt to the temporary absence of hydration. However, understanding how aldosterone functions during a dry fast is important, especially if you’re interested in advanced fasting techniques for health benefits like detoxification and cellular repair.
Dry fasting with elevated aldosterone levels can lead to powerful physiological adaptations, but it requires careful attention to ensure safe and effective outcomes. Many individuals report improved electrolyte balance and even better tolerance to fasting with longer-term, gradual practice. By knowing how aldosterone interacts with dry fasting, you can better understand why certain precautions, like sodium and potassium balance, are crucial before and after a fast. This unique hormone-fast connection provides insight into optimizing results, making dry fasting safer and more effective for those exploring its benefits for metabolic health and wellness.

Dry fasting has been hailed for its potential benefits in healing, longevity, and weight loss, primarily due to its unique mechanism of promoting autophagy independent of nutrient starvation, specifically through dehydration. This process is crucial for those dealing with severe illnesses, particularly autoimmune diseases, which may impair autophagic functions due to various factors like mitochondrial dysfunction and disruption of macroautophagy through the ULK1 System. Testing autophagic pathways through methods such as the ULK1 Kinase Assay can provide insight into the state of one's macroautophagy pathways, offering a deeper understanding rather than a direct solution. Dry fasting serves as a loophole to potentially rectify autophagic dysfunctions by circumventing the nutrient-dependent ULK1 pathway, leveraging hypertonic stress induced by dehydration. This stress, both hypovolemic and hypertonic, has been shown to be manageable in experienced individuals over a 5-day dry fast, suggesting its safety and effectiveness in initiating profound cellular healing and autophagy, notably through microtubule reorganization. Microtubules, essential for cellular health and autophagy, facilitate the transport of autophagosomes to lysosomes for degradation. A study examining hypertonic stress highlights its role in enhancing autophagy and microtubule-dependent autophagosomal clusters, indicating that dry fasting not only boosts autophagy but also restructures cellular components for improved function. This method of fasting, particularly when transitioning from a dry to a water fast after reaching an acidotic crisis, may offer a balanced approach to harnessing autophagy's full potential while mitigating risks, marking a significant stride in understanding cellular protection and healing in hypertonic conditions.

Dry fasting is perceived as an extreme and daunting practice, primarily due to fears of dehydration and potential death, a concern especially contrasted against water fasting, where individuals sustain themselves on water alone. This juxtaposition highlights the skepticism even within fasting communities, with water fasters viewing dry fasting as an extreme step further. However, embracing the concept of dry fasting begins with understanding the body's resilience and capability to survive without immediate water intake for more than three days for most individuals, barring certain health conditions or extreme physical exertion. Scientific insights, such as those from studies on birds like zebra finches, reveal that organisms can generate metabolic water through fat oxidation, indicating that fat serves as a crucial source for metabolic water production. This biological mechanism, along with cellular adaptations like osmolyte accumulation and hyperosmotic stress-induced autophagy, supports the body's ability to manage dehydration. These processes underscore the potential of dry fasting, challenging established views on hydration and fasting, and suggesting a complex interplay between fat metabolism, water production, and cellular homeostasis.

Dive into the intriguing realm of dry fasting and its potential impact on autophagy and stem cell vitality, as illuminated by the study, "The ‘selfish brain’ is regulated by aquaporins and autophagy under nutrient deprivation." This research meticulously tracks LC3-II levels, a key protein in autophagy, revealing how the brain adapts to various fasting states, including complete food and water deprivation. The findings suggest that dry fasting might significantly boost autophagy in the brain and nervous system, possibly offering more benefits in a single day than three days of traditional water fasting. However, this raises crucial questions about the balance between enhancing cellular renewal and risking potential stem cell exhaustion. As we explore this delicate interplay, we uncover the profound complexities of our body's self-preservation mechanisms, offering a glimpse into the potential of dry fasting as a tool for health and rejuvenation.

Everyone always wants results as fast as possible. But you have to remember that your body has undergone significant wear and tear for a very long time. Reversing this damage through fasting is relatively fast, but you need to be realistic. It is not a pill you pop and feel better. It’s a gradual grind with continuous improvements. These improvements are all-around fixes. Your blood, your organs, your metabolic pathways, your mitochondria. Imagine your body as an onion with many layers. You want to get to the core, but you have to slowly peel away the layers to get there. Each fast peels away at it, but don’t expect one or two fasts to get it done. For example. When you are sick or have underlying problems, you can expect flare-ups during the refeeds. Especially when you quit in the middle of a crisis. Aiming for a 5-day dry fast basically guarantees you initiate and complete an acidotic crisis in a safe window. An acidotic crisis is when your body enters such a highly acidic state due to ketosis that it needs to activate new homeostasis mechanisms to balance itself out. It is theorized that you need to get through this activation to get the full stem cell regenerative powers offered by a dry fast. If you want to aim for the second one you’ll need to get to 7-9 days completed. The secondary one incorporates a mechanism tied to dehydration, acidity, and cortisol. This is a bit of a deeper dive and we could also talk about the link to fasting with heart rate variability and cortisol levels, as seen in my past HRV data tracking here, but i’ll leave that for you to dig into. This speeds up healing, but you can usually get there with multiple 5-day ones instead. As you detox and heal, the pathogens as well as your own body can panic. Toxins can be varied. There can be bacterial endotoxins, heavy metals, other toxins inside fat cells, and more. When they are released into the body, the burden is placed on your organs. If you have a leaky gut the detox can be even worse. Lucky for you dry fasting repairs leaky gut. Common symptoms are Bloating, Gas, Headaches, Diarrhea, Joint Pain, and Nausea. Because of this, you might feel like your health is regressing, but if you’re dry fasting correctly, you will continuously be strengthening your body and it starts to quickly stack up. This is also why it’s recommended to first do a 3-day water fast before you even attempt dry fasting, followed by a 36-hour dry fast, and then a 3-day dry fast. This is the quickest that you should approach it. I’ve seen way too many people go too fast and suffer horrible side effects, there is such a thing as detox overload and it's often seen as an extremely elevated heart rate or extreme side effects. I want to add that even though some people go too fast and end up suffering more than they need to, they almost always eventually stabilize and improve their baseline in the end, so even overdoing it is not the end of the world, so don’t panic. There are a lot of intricacies that go into it, like knowing that women experience a higher release of ghrelin during fasts. If you are relatively healthy and looking for simple anti-aging and weight loss you can make great strides by focusing on performing 3-5 day dry fasts and you won’t have to worry about the deeper stages.

https://www.dryfastingclub.com/dry-fasting-stress-manging-viral-reactivations-for-long-covid/
In the journey to understand and recover from advanced post-viral illnesses like Long Covid, a critical element is the phenomenon of viral reactivation, exacerbated by various stressors. Many postulate that the weakening of the immune system allows latent viruses, such as cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and others, to reactivate, causing further health issues. Such reactivations can have severe systemic impacts, with the immune system overwhelmed, leading to symptoms from brain fog to mineral depletion, and sleep disturbances. Certain behaviors, such as exposing oneself to cold after a workout, may even trigger these reactivations. It's also believed that after extended fasting, while the immune system is undergoing a reset, individuals are particularly vulnerable to relapses if exposed to stress. Hence, during these crucial periods, it's essential to maintain a balanced environment, avoid extreme cold, refrain from rigorous exercise, and generally protect oneself from potential triggers. This holistic understanding and approach to management are seen as key to navigating and recovering from such challenging health scenarios.
So many people are concerned about muscle loss on a dry fast that these type of questions get asked pretty frequently. It's sort of a human condition to want to have it all, so that even when you are undergoing something as drastic as a dry fast for your health, you're still looking at ways to have your cake and eat it too. In this case people really worry about maintaining their gains. It's understandable, to a certain degree. I'll try to answer the questions as best as possible and guide you in a way that will allow you to make your own decisions on how much you will take muscle preservation into consideration during your next dry fast. However, I will ask one thing of you. Please remember why you are here, and that dry fasting is dangerous if done incorrectly and aggressively. Sometimes that means sitting back and letting the healing forces of your body do what they do best.
Does dry fasting lead to significant muscle loss?
When compared to water fasting, dry fasting loses much less muscle. During a water fast you can expect approximately a 50-50 split on muscle and fat loss. On a dry fast, you can expect something like 25-75 muscle and fat loss. That is a massive difference. Especially when you take into consideration that a dry fast takes much less time to achieve similar and better results than a much longer water fast. The simplified way of looking at it is that one day of dry fasting is equal to three days of water fasting. It's worth noting that the extent of muscle loss during a fast can be influenced by several factors, including the individual's starting body composition, the total duration of the fast, and any physical activity undertaken during the fast. Moreover, the body adapts to fasting by increasing its use of fat as a primary energy source, thereby sparing muscle protein
