Dear Reader,

It's that time of year again - time for my annual Fasting Challenge!

I start this evening (Wednesday) with my "Last Supper".

Then I won't consume a single "calorie" until Sunday evening. Zilch.

In the meantime, I will spend 2 days hiking in the hills around the Forest Circadian Retreat, totalling over 50km and 1500m of vertical elevation.

Will I survive?

You can follow my progress practically in real time on my Facebook page, Midlife Metabolic Health. Just like/follow to make sure you get updates.

What is fasting?

It’s about health and longevity.
Reducing inflammation,
Cellular regeneration,
Creating stem cells,
Avoiding cancer,
Burning fat.
​

As I hike I'll be broadcasting educational videos about fasting, fat adaptation and how to beat Insulin Resistance.

And any other topics that come to mind in that heightened state of awareness that burning your own fat for fuel brings!

And as a bonus I've put a 13 minute video presentation I recorded on Fasting and its benefits for fat adaptation.

So go to my Fb page and follow it before you forget!

This is my 4th Fasting Challenge.

2022: 24 hours fasted, 34km marched,
2023: 48 hours fasted, 30km marched per day,
2024: 5 days (120hrs), staggered marathon run over 4 days
​

I documented all of them with updates and educational videos, but in a private Facebook group. That group is no longer active, BUT if you want to explore the information, it serves as an archive of many kilometres jogged/walked and zero calories consumed.

Feel free to explore it all here.

If I told you that you can lose weight in your sleep, would you believe me?

Or that your struggle with maintaining weight, plateauing or yo-yo-ing was because you hadn't fixed your sleep?

Or even that your hormonal disruption, anxiety, permanent anger, dementia, cancer, auto-immune issues or even constipation is largely due to misalignment of your cellular and endocrine clocks with the natural phases of dark and light?

Would you believe me?

Well you should.

Do this:

1. Go to Google or your favourite search engine,
2. Search for "circadian rhythm"+ [enter health problem you're most interested in],
3. Click enter and review the studies.
4. Then listen to this podcast:

Reset Your Rhythm: How Circa... Apr 24 · The Animal-Based Dad Pod... 98:32   ​

Or watch on Youtube here.

If you can't be bothered with all that, then go to 5daysleepmethod.com and purchase my brand new video course.

Just 2 hour-long videos (the Why and the How) with everything you need to Know and then to Do.

Limited time offer of only $27 plus some valuable free bonuses.

On a lighter note, I got up to see the sunrise at the Forest Circadian Retreat and made this video: 3 obscure things that happen when you sync your circadian rhythms.

That's all for now. Wish me luck for my Fasting Challenge.

If you go over to my Facebook page and comment on any of the live updates to show your support, I'll be forever grateful!

Take care,

Roderick :)
