Description

In this episode of The Art of Performance Podcast we’re diving into the latest science behind extended fasting protocols...

Specifically an 8-day water-only fast and its impact on hormones, metabolism and performance.

We break down:

  • The new data: cortisol, testosterone, insulin, growth hormone

  • What happens to your muscle mass, endurance and strength during multi-day fasts

  • Why some athletes are experimenting with prolonged fasts at 48 & 72 hour interventions (and whether they should be)

  • Our take on whether this is biohacking gold or total bullshit

If you’ve ever considered fasting for performance, weight management or metabolic health this is the episode that cuts through the noise and tells you what some iof the data says.
