“Fasting also stimulates autophagy and mitophagy, the process of culling the old, dysfunctional mitochondria. So the ancient wellness practice of intermittent fasting essentially gets rid of the old mitochondria and at the same time stimulates new growth. This process of renewing your mitochondria may play a huge role in the prevention of many of the diseases we currently have no acceptable treatment – diseases of excess growth.” ~ Dr. Jason Fung

A subscriber recently sent me a link to Dr. Jason Fung’s video series on obesity. I watched it. Impressed, I posted it on the Solari Report website.
My next step was to order Dr. Fung’s book on Fasting: The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting co-authored with health writer Jimmy Moore.
The book arrived two weeks ago. I was on my way into the Jacuzzi right before going to sleep that evening. I decided I would just read the first chapter in the the bubble bath. It turned into a late night as I could not put the book down. The next morning I started intermittent fasting.
I first tried fasting when I studied spiritual warfare. It was a successful experience. However, I had some challenges fasting while I was working. Dr. Fung addressed all of these issues and more. Best of all, I get to eat five of my favorite foods – bone broth, coffee, tea, cinnamon and lemons in my water.
This is one of the most impressive books on health I have read to date. It is professionally organized and produced. It covers the science in detail in a manner that a lay person can understand. And it is filled with practical advice and case studies for busy people who have to function in the real world.
If you want to be healthy in a modern world, let alone engage successfully in spiritual warfare, this book is for you.

This is George St Pierre’s doctor by the way, for any ufc fans out there, great GSP / Joe Rogan interview where he talks about working with Dr. Fung after the Micheal Bisping fight. He worked with GSP to heal his ulceritive coalitis through intermittent fasting. Thanks for shining a light on these teachings 🙂
This information like so much provided on the excellent Solari website is just invaluable. Thank you Catherine and Blessings.
🙂 – this book is so wonderful! I just watched next week’s interview and choice for movie from Brigitte Mouchet for the Wellness series. So many inspiring people in the world looking to make a difference.
wonder what his opinion of germinated (ancient) wheat or barley seeds would be; my understanding is their functional properties are quite different from other ‘starchy’ foods.
because vitamin c is generated ‘on-demand’ (just add water), they do not require refrigeration and have no real expiration date if stored well. if the lights go out most of the population will have scurvy in a couple months.
talk about fresh…
Nick, if you’re still around, how do we prepare the wheat/barley seeds? Are they both “ancient?” Where do you get them? Thanks.
