#265 How 5 Days With No Food OR Water Triggers a 100% Natural Stem Cell Release | Theo Lucier @Forgotten Health

About this episode

Theo Lucier discusses the benefits and mechanisms of dry fasting for stem cell release and overall health.

Here's how the hardest reset on the planet actually works, and how to do it safely. Theo Lucier has spent over a decade studying dry fasting through his project Forgotten Health and his guided program Dry Fast with Friends. He breaks down why a true dry fast is different from a water fast, how the body burns fat for its own water, the endogenous stem cell release on day 5 and 7, and why the way you exit matters more than the fast itself. Meet our guest Theo Lucier is a natural health researcher and supplement formulator, founder of Forgotten Health, and co-creator of the Dry Fast with Friends community program with Sean McCormick. After overcoming severe chronic fatigue and 16 years of one-meal-a-day eating, he now focuses on dry fasting for stem cell release, cellular detox, and energy.
