About this episode

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING FROM DR. ARDIS: Dry fasting is an extreme therapeutic practice that can offer benefits when undertaken with proper planning and expert supervision, but it carries potential for severe harm if attempted by someone with contraindications or without appropriate expertise. Individuals with the contraindications described here must not undertake dry fasting.

SUMMARY

In this week's episode of The Dr. Ardis Show, Dr. Ardis welcomes performance coach and fasting expert Sean McCormick to explore the science and strategy of dry fasting - going without food and water for set periods of time.

  • Sean breaks down how dry fasting can help:
  • Accelerate autophagy and cellular repair
  • Boost immune system function
  • Improve mental clarity and mood
  • Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Promote anti-aging and metabolic health

You'll also learn how to safely start dry fasting, how it differs from traditional water fasting, and what to expect physically and mentally.
