Fast This Way

"It's clear from the research that fasting helps to promote health by reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing the risk of diabetes, among other benefits. These days it seems like there are as many fasting protocols as there are reasons to fast, so luckily for us, Dave Asprey has written this clear-headed, practical, and entertaining guide to a fasting lifestyle that is as healthy as it is enjoyable.” — Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Food Fix and Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine
"In this timely, interdisciplinary look at fasting as a practice and ritual, Dave Asprey advances a powerful new paradigm for doing more with less. Fast This Way is both a timeless manifesto on the mental, physical, and spiritual rewards of fasting as well as a practically and philosophically relevant text on cultivating our inner wisdom."  — Shaman Durek, author of Spirit Hacking
“Fasting can be a huge gain, and not a sacrifice!  In Fast This Way, Dave Asprey uses his legendary biohacking skills to show readers how fasting can offer protective benefits ranging from enhanced longevity to decreased risk of neurodegeneration to improved metabolic function.  While the power of food can indeed boost the body’s defensive systems, Fast This Way shows how not eating for certain lengths of time can also be an incredible tool for building health. Read this book to learn how you can turn less food into more health.” — William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and President and Medical Director, the Angiogenesis Foundation
"Part Carlos Castaneda spirit quest, part medical instruction manual, Fast This Way is a scientific adventure into the ancient art of controlling weight, metabolism, and the mind. Within a few days of applying Asprey's instructions I felt, and saw, results—and they weren't subtle. This book reminds us of how our bodies are supposed to work, and instructs us on how to keep them in best running order for years to come." — James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
