Dear Reader, How long have you gone without food? Every year I do a Fasting Challenge. I spend a set amount of time fasted, engaging in demanding physical activity. Previous editions: This year I'm fasting from Wednesday 15th July to Sunday 19th and I'll be sleeping rough in the forests around the Forest Circadian Retreat. Off grid i.e. my mobile stays in my backpack (for emergency), with minimum equipment. I'm allowing myself 15 minutes mobile time morning and evening to post updates on Facebook. Follow my Facebook page Midlife Metabolic Health to get them. Perhaps you're asking WHY do I do these things? I want to promote the benefits of fasting (some of which you've read about in my 12 Golden Rules of Fat Loss) And to demonstrate what is possible when you're fat adapted and your mitochondria are firing at full speed. You can learn about the importance of Mitochondria in my series How you REALLY make energy (click the picture to receive it). If you want a reminder about the benefits, here's a short video lecture I gave during a group cohort of my MitoRegen Protocol Wish me luck! Tomorrow I'll reveal what I'm taking with me and other details. Curious about the Forest Circadian Retreat? Take a look at the video below (sound on). I'm running a pilot cohort in October to test it out. It's currently fully subscribed, but if you're interested, hit reply to this email and I'll put you on the replacement list in case someone drops out. Take care, Roderick

Dear Reader, Nia Day, Founder of the Halestra Wellness platform, interviewed me about my 2026 Fasting Challenge (5 days fasted in a forest wilderness) and wrote a beautiful, contemplative text. I loved this framing so much I feel obliged to share it with you. Thus I am reproducing it below (with her blessing). "I've been thinking a lot this week about discomfort. The things we instinctively avoid because they're inconvenient, unsettling or simply a little harder than the easier option. In...
Dear Reader, 5 days without food, living wild in the forests. This is what happened: 108 hrs fasted 82,000 steps 50 km hiked 1600 vertical metres 11500 calories burnt 0 ingested 4kg lighter 4 tics (discovered so far) Short version: I'm still alive! What went right: Didn't swallow a calorie from start to finish (piece of cake when you're fat adapted and have built up the "fasting muscle"), Got my re-feed just right (no over-eating or gastric problems), Lots of forest bathing (see list of...
Hi Reader, I wanted to share something Iβm excited about. I was invited to speak at the Ultimate Men Over 40 Global Health Summit, and after seeing the lineup of experts involved, I immediately said yes. This summit is bringing together over 100 of the top health, fitness, longevity, and performance experts in the world, all focused on one mission: helping men over 40 take control of their health and build a stronger second half of life. Men over 40 are one of the most underserved groups in...
