The Fast & the Gut: Asceticism Without Self-Destruction

About

In this episode of the Orthodox Health Podcast, Dr. Michael Christian & John build on the previous episode on nutrient pairings, where we discussed the principle that intake is not the same thing as reception. The same is true during the Fast. You can be eating “fasting foods” and still end up bloated, constipated, refluxy, anxious, or exhausted, not because the Fast is bad, but because the pairings, preparation, rhythm, and context are off.DISCLAIMER:The information presented in this content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
