Fasting for Men vs. Women: What Actually Matters - Dr. Barrett Deubert

More isn’t always better when it comes to fasting. Dr. Barrett breaks down what actually happens in your body across different fast durations — from the first 12 hours through deep ketosis and autophagy at 72+ hours - and introduces a 5-factor framework (metabolic health, nutritional reserves, stress/sleep, muscle mass, and medical considerations) to help you decide if you’ve actually earned the right to fast longer. He covers who’s a good fit for a 24-hour vs. 3-day vs. 5-day fast, why sodium matters more the longer you go, and - critically - how to break a fast properly without wrecking the benefits.
