In Day 6 of my diary series, I share what it has been like to step into a 5 day fast for autophagy and cellular renewal while quitting coffee and moving through a glutathione facial peel during a time of deep personal and collective change. After two recent shootings in my small mountain town, one at the local high school and another at the rec center, I felt called inward. In this episode, I open up about my childhood experience with Mormon fasting, the shame I carried around breaking a fast, and why I avoided fasting for years even though I understood the health benefits of detox, prayer, and intentional restriction.
I also talk about how I am supporting my body safely with electrolytes, minerals, and a low calorie approach to help stimulate autophagy, along with what I am noticing from caffeine withdrawal, energy shifts, and sleep changes. More than anything, this episode is about nervous system regulation, spiritual fasting, resilience after trauma, and choosing love when the world feels upside down. If you are walking through your own healing journey, detox, spiritual reset, or simply trying to stay grounded during uncertain times, this conversation is for you.
