"YOUR WAY TO YOUR BODY"

Health aspects of therapeutic fasting

• Fasting strengthens the immune system and rejuvenates. New stem cells are formed, activating the body and promoting regeneration.
• Fasting strengthens the psyche. Endorphins, serotonins and endocannabinoids are released, which can lead to fasting euphoria.
• Fasting promotes autophagy. Old cellular waste is broken down and transported out of the body. This interrupts pain and ageing processes.
• Fasting leads to fat loss and the change of metabolic hormones. Hormonally active visceral abdominal fat is reduced, insulin levels and blood pressure are lowered.

The focus is on the health aspect - weight loss is "only" a positive side effect of fasting.

Why fasting at home?

Integrating fasting into the home environment has significant advantages. ️

The participant's own family experiences very closely how he/she implements self-care. This takes place over a period of 6 weeks and is accompanied by the course leader.

During the preparation period, the family members see what pre-cleansing phase means. How the mind-set changes on the subject of starting fasting. How the tension and anticipation increases.

During the fasting period, those around the participant experience how they consciously take time out for themselves. Whether it is for the liver wrap, for an alkaline bath or for a walk - because exercise is also important during the fasting period.

During the build-up phase, nutritional advice and impulses from Intuitive Eating are shared directly with the family and perhaps implemented for all. The shopping list changes. The mindfulness at the family table changes.

If these phases take place away from home in a clinic or a hotel, the family does not grow into the change, into a different eating behaviour, into a self-care attitude.

One comes home, is back in the old environment and soon no effect of the fasting can be seen or felt.

Are your beliefs still standing in your way? ("I can't fast")

• "Not eating for five days - I can't do that".

You have simply never tried it! It's easier than you think. Professional preparation and guidance is the key. The group dynamics and the course leaders support you - every day!

• "I have never fasted before. I can't do it".

About 50% of our courses are newcomers to fasting. So far, there has not been a single person who had to break off at short notice after starting fasting.

• "I can't do it at home, I have to cook for everyone."

The first 2-3 days until the metabolism changes, it would be nice to get help (but it is not strictly necessary). After that, in the vast majority of cases, it's no longer a problem.

• "I will gain weight again afterwards."

Intensive support during the three-week build-up phase and detailed instructions on interval fasting and intuitive eating will enable you to keep the weight off permanently.

• "It doesn't work for me. I have the wrong metabolism for it!"

Especially through therapeutic fasting, metabolic imbalances and hormonal imbalances that lead to overweight are actively reduced and reversed.
