AT A GLANCE

  • Fasting is one of the most powerful healing therapies that you can use.
  • The length of a fast determines which repair processes the body activates.
  • Longer fasts allow for deeper cleaning and cellular rejuvination.

INTRO

Let’s face it, the world is in a healing crisis. And so is your body.

I don’t have all the answers, but I can share something that changed my life.

First, let’s begin with a question…

What if you could better understand how your body works and restore your health naturally?

Imagine making wellness decisions with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your body’s ability to repair and heal.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW?

If you answered “Yes!” you’ve already taken your first step toward discovering how your body heals itself—emotionally, physically, and energetically.

That’s exactly what I did. And if I can do it, you can do it, too.

What I learned transformed not only my health but my life. Enrolling at the Energetic Health Institute (EHI) was one of the best decisions I ever made. The knowledge I gained in the Cleansing and Fasting Certification continues to benefit me, my family, and the people I have the privilege of caring for.

SO, WHAT’S THE SECRET?

Before we dive deeper into cleansing, detoxification, and fasting, let’s look at it from another perspective…

Your body is like your home. Just as a home needs regular care, cleaning, and maintenance, so do you.

In fact, your body comes with a built-in cleaning crew. Your liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, digestive tract, and lymphatic system each have a special job, and together they work around-the-clock to collect waste and filter it out—all to keep you healthy and in balance.

But when these systems are challenged by things like poor nutrition, chronic stress, and environmental toxins, they become overloaded and tired out. That’s when dis-ease sets in.

“I experienced more energy, greater mental clarity, and a deeper sense of calm and well-being. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually, too.”

You may be surprised to learn that even people who exercise often, eat healthy foods, and poop everyday can struggle with toxic overload caused by waste sitting in the colon for too long. (1)

Dr. Bernard Jensen, a chiropractor and nutritionist, used the term “autointoxication” to describe his belief that delayed elimination of waste can negatively affect a person’s overall well-being. (2)

A slow bowel transit time can be a big problem. It means that some of the toxins sitting in your intestinal tract are getting recirculated. And that affects your body at the cellular level because your cells are fighting to clear out that waste and keep you going.
“Cleansing at EHI was a great experience! I feel so light and clear. Stressors in my life that would have bothered me bounced right off now. I was able to keep such a great perspective and state of consciousness which felt amazing!“

BUT WHAT IS TRULY AMAZING IS THIS…

Your body holds the secret to reversing the damage and healing itself.

All it needs is a rest while it “spring-cleans” at the cellular level. How is this done?

It starts with you learning how and why cleansing, detoxing, and fasting are essential for true health and wellness.

What happens when your cells finally take out the trash?

Something remarkable… You begin to reverse cellular damage and truly Heal.

Let me tell you about my experience…

It was amazing. Years of skin issues cleared. Bloating and digestive discomfort improved. My mental fog lifted. And many menopausal symptoms—including hot flashes and unwanted weight gain—began to ease.

I experienced more energy, greater mental clarity, and a deeper sense of calm and well-being. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually, too.

Equally important to my success is that I gained a new understanding of how the body works.

I learned how cells detoxify, how the body’s natural cleansing systems work together, and how energetic balance can influence overall wellness. This knowledge has changed the way I care for myself and has given me the confidence to help others.

However, don’t just take it from me… Here are a few comments from other graduates of EHI’s Cleansing and Fasting Certification:
“This feels like the best brain energy and clarity I’ve had since my teens!” -Brad C.
“I’ve enjoyed all 4 of the cleanses at EHI and have learned so much each time!
Not only has my health improved, but it also feels so good knowing that I have the tools and
knowledge to cleanse whenever I need to.”
-Dawn G.

FASTING IS NOT STARVATION

Many people assume that fasting—defined as going without any calories—will leave their bodies weak and depleted. However, we’re not talking about starvation. Education is key. That means learning how to cleanse, detoxify, and fast safely. Ensuring your body is well-nourished before you begin a clinical water fast is essential. (3) (4) (5)

Fasting isn’t a new idea. It’s been around for millennia. Many cultures, from all around the world, have practiced fasting for both physical and spiritual well-being.

Modern research is beginning to explain how and why fasting can influence the body’s natural repair and renewal processes. Fasting influences include supporting stem cell function and regenerative capacity.

HOW THE BODY ACTIVATES CLEANSING AND SELF-HEALING

While fasting, the body makes a shift from using the food it has digesting for energy to using energy from its stores. In more technical terms, the liver runs low on glycogen, which is made up of simple sugars called glucose. When the “low fuel” indicator lights up, the body begins to produce ketones from stored fat as an alternative fuel source.

As the body shifts into ketosis (ketone production), each cell kicks up its natural cleaning processes like autophagy and phagocytosis, which I’ll tell you more about in a moment.

Exactly when this happens varies from person to person, but research suggests this clean-up become more pronounced after 24 hours of no calorie intake. As time goes on, cellular housecleaning continues to ramp up. The benefits of this up-shift vary depending on how long we fast.

The recommended length of a fast is dependent on the desired outcome, but they typically will last 3, 6, or 9 days.

SO, WHAT DO “AUTOPHAGY” AND “PHAGOCYTOSIS” ACTUALLY MEAN?

Autophagy comes from the Greek words auto (“self”) and phagy (“to eat”). It’s your cells’ housekeeping and recycling system. Autophagy empties the cells’ trash cans by reusing or removing what is not useful.

In truth, autophagy’s ongoing cleanup operation happens behind the scenes and never takes a day off. But when your body is prepared the right way and enters a fasted state, autophagy shifts into turbo gear.

Phagocytosis works a little differently. Rather than cleaning inside the cells, it works to clean the environment on the outside of the cells. For example, specialized immune cells act as the body’s cleanup crew, surrounding and engulfing unwanted elements such as dead cells, cellular debris, and invading microbes.

When these two processes are performing well, they maintain a healthier internal environment for your cells and tissues.

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER LONGER FASTS

Longer fasts—6 days or more—stimulate stem cell production.

As researchers continue to study fasting, they’re discovering that the benefits extend far beyond cellular cleanup. In fact, evidence suggests that fasting can influence and improve immune function, where stem cell production occurs. (6) (7)

As you can see, if you want to support your body’s natural cellular cleanup processes, it requires more than just eating healthy.

And that is where EHI’s Cleansing and Fasting Certification comes in…
