I just listened to this guy for more than three hours interviewing Dr Cherrie Tenpenny & now this great fasting advice. The world needs more men like him. As a new subscriber i just want to say, thank you!
Great information. I personally love the mini fasts. I tend to fast every day for a minimum of 12 hours (last meal at 8pm, eat no earlier than 8am) which isn't huge but enough of a conscious break from eating to be beneficial for mind and digestion. Some days push it towards a 16-20 hour fast on rest days and lower activity days.
Paul you are a blessing. Thank you for your extensive knowledge and kindness to share this with the public. I've got some questions around training and fasting. I currently have started a 16/8 fast everyday. My work out regiment is fairly intense. Should my fast vary on the intensity of my work outs? Primary goal is to reduce body fat over the course of 8 weeks, stay relatively lean. Currently sitting at about 14% BF, at 6'2 and 231 lbs. If anyone else sees this please chime in with your thoughts or advice. New to fasting and now sure how to program around exercise and training. I've done some research but always enjoy others sharing personal experiences and advice.
The only fast is a water-only fast - anything else is not fasting. Also, after ~3 days, the body enters protein sparing - saving muscle - not consuming increasing amounts of it. Ketosis fully kicks in at around 48 hours for females and 72 hours for males.
Enzymes, vitamins and micronutrients... yes. Bioptimizers if I recall right, have excellent MassZyme product of enzymes, I should probably invest in that at some point before doing a longer fast. I did a 60 hour water fast once, and it felt good enough, clean enough. But that's probably because I've not eaten much junk food lately then.
Great video. I'm on a one meal a day route with a very low calorie vegi meal. I'm noticing detox a week into the vegetable dinner. A metal taste on my tongue, a weird body odor, trouble sleeping, nausea- my first major detox
Thank you for the video, Paul. I recently completed a bone broth-chaga mushroom tea fast. It was quite excellent! I sent you some of my chaga a while ago; hope you enjoyed and congratulations on welcoming Mana!
+eschein7 Hi, Thank you for sending me the chaga mushrooms. I have only used them as ground powders for teas mostly. Could you be so kind as to send an email to me via my assistant, Vidya McNeill (vidya@paulchek.com) with any suggestions you can offer as to how to best use the mushrooms you sent? Love and chi, Paul Chek
Dr. Paul you stated that after 3 days of fasting your body begins to eat at the body muscle. This statement contradicts Dr. Fung statement that FASTING doesn't so diminish muscle mass. Can you give more information on the subject.
Thank you for an informative clip - i am a vegan, while i used to eat meat i would make sure it was organic grass fed & wild caught. I use hemp & pea protein as a source of protein as i train a lot. I would love to implement fasting, currently i am intermitted fasting, do you recommend a 1 or 3 day fast & do you have a system i can learn/purchase etc?
+Emily loves the ocean Hi, Without knowing the kinds of details I have to gather to work with clients, I can't really give you wise guidance. That said, if you want to experiment with fasting, start small (mini-fast) and work up from there, paying close attention to how your body-mind responds. As a vegan, I would encourage you to not be a fanatical vegan; the nutritional needs of our genes, and our body-mind are highly individual, AND change constantly; if our ideas about eating are less dynamic than our body-mind, then we end up "living a dogma" and I can assure you, there are countless people living vegetarian and vegan dogmas, promoting this way of living as "the way for optimal health", yet to the trained eye, they show many signs of body-mind stress and imbalance. The secret is to be a vegan when your body-mind needs that, eat fish, eggs, meat, or fast when your body-mind needs that. One can only learn how to live in balance by having an intimate relationship with their body-mind, which excludes making choices based on what others say in books, articles, videos, etc. Every "ism" should be seen as a tool in your toolbox to be used like a good mechanic uses a tool, which is "when it is the ideal tool for the job". Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hi Paul, because I am frequent flyer so I am "supporting spraying chemicals". That is true,sad to say, and I was always thinking about it! On other hand I am supporting organic farming community but it is just crazy to know that I am aware of almost all corporations BS stuff that they are throwing at us and I don't feel good about it! Quick Q for today Paul, I pulled my groin muscle and a ligament 5 weeks ago. I am taking cold showers every day, 5-10 min sometimes twice a day and putting cold package on injured area. When I flex this muscle and touch it I can feel discomfort and if I sit down for too long it causes more discomfort and some pain. I am very careful the way I move during the day, not exercising, not lifting heavy stuff, eating organic food, drinking a lot water and etc. Should I ice it more or maybe do stretching? Completely lay down on my bed for few days? Thank You! See you in SD :)
No you are not supporting spraying chemicals. That's condensation from a very hot plane engine flying trough very cold air. So essentially, you are contributing to cloud production. Don't believe everything your guru tells you. Use what's beneficial, discard what is not. Chemtrails are not real...

+Johan Wallman sorry, but chemtrails, geoengineering is very real, research it, look up, think about how the sky used to look, depending on how old you are, visit website of dane wigington. I know it seems unbelievable, and you go through so many emotions on waking up to all of this as you go on to become aware of all the other negatives going on against humanity too. we don't have to rely on our tvs anymore, information is there on the web, we just need the curiosity, open mindedness to go look for it, research and discern all we hear for ouselves.
hi Paul, Thanks for the upload, great video yet again! Quick question..for someone with an autoimmune disease, do you think that a medically supervised fast would be necessary to stop it and reverse symptoms? Also on a separate note, I know someone had already asked you to do a video blog on this topic... which is 'life and death as a whole'.. do you think that you could do a video explaining from your life experience 'what it's all about'? The reason I am asking is that your videos and information on health and living a full life are absolutely priceless and definitely work but at the end of the day and inevitably everyone has to die...so whether we live a happy and healthy life for next 50 years or whether we die tomorrow...what is the difference in the grand scheme of things? Also, there are many people in the world who don't have the means to improve their lives and health and yet they still have to find inner peace somehow...so does everyone have a purpose in life...i.e. something they need to do (even if it's something that they are afraid of?) to achieve 'enlightenment' or freedom? I know it's a deep topic but I guess it's the eternal question after all...what is it all about? I would love to hear your thoughts at some point on a v-log! Loving the series tho! love and chi! Jeremie
Good Evening Mr. Chek! I have two questions for you, and know your time is valuable so I will keep them brief: First, I'm curious if you personally use, or recommend using, a water ionizer that produces "reduced water". Second, are tickets to your September seminar in the US available yet? Thank you for your time! Michael
Hey Paul, I am a big fan of yours. I am studying physiotherapy right now and i plan to take some of your courses. I'm most definitely a protein type and i am eating more organ meat. I can only get my hands on liver at the moment. I eat around 1 piece every day or 2. What is your opinion on vitamin A over-consumption? Thanks
Hey Paul! My name is D. I am 16 years old and from germany. I have a very very important question: how can I learn to love my body? Since I can remember, I always hated my body. I`m very tall for a girl (~6.1 feet) and I never was normal. When I got 10, I had to wear braces. My teeth were perfect, but the dentist didn`t care. She wanted the money. I had to wear this thing for 5 years. Now, they look worse than before. With 11 years, I suddenly gained wheight. My parents freaked out about that, especially my father. He forced me to loose wheight, but my body had to grow even more. I started dieting and exercising every day. I lost pounds, but my body quickly regained them. Typical, as I know today. Sometimes I hungered more than a week. The worst thing was, that I totally overexercised myself. My parents didn`t know. (Today they know, but they don`t care)That was the time I first had bulimia. I could stop it by myself. With 13, a doctor diagnosed a problem with my spine: scoliosis. I had to wear a corsett for 20 hours a day. (By now,14 hours) The other students laughed about me and called me a crippel. And while my friends ran around in beautiful thight dresses, I had to wear something big to cover my upper body so nobody could see the thing on it. I started to hate myself even more. With 15 I had Bulimia again. It was a nightmare, but I could control it again. Two months ago I started vomiting again. I was able to stop. But I am scared: what, it I get this mind-f*ck another time? I can`t stand this selfhate anymore! I don`t have a problem with my character, but with my body. How can I finally see my body as a beautiful thing? As... me?
+Blubbl Blabb Hello, I sm s 47 year old female. And reading your question touched something in my heart. I don't really have any advice i can give you besides to just hang in there and take one day at a time. You will find that in time if you look at your health and body as a whole you will one day FIND things you love and appreciate about yourself and your body! Take Care and I wish you the best. Hang Tough
Hi D! Reading your comment reminds me so much about my story. Few practices that helped me to start loving my body and myself more: - looking in the mirror into my eyes and saying I love you in the begging I couldn’t do it or I was avoiding looking into my eyes, it happened after 5-6 years that when I said it I felt it also, amazing feeling. - spending time in nature and connecting with the earth, trees , flowers makes me feel beautiful. Seeing the beauty around and knowing I am part of it. - practice Bioenergetics -moving my body as the body wants( dancing ) it’s so pleasurable that it makes so much easier to love my body - laying down with a hand on my belly and one on my heart, breathing slowly and feeling that I hold my inner child and connect with what I am feeling and if I am sad I cry or if I am angry I try to run or hit a pillow - when I feel bad lately I start saying affirmations out loud: I am beautiful, I am strong, I am light after few minutes I start feeling better - making like a ritual some evenings and give myself a full body massage I hope you will find some of the practices helpful. I am sure you are beautiful and you will let your light shine bright one day 🌺🌞🌷
this is great Paul - but the first step of "stop eating crap" .. boy o boy, when my willpower is dead (which is LOTS of days) i just don't know how to do it. Any insights would be great (i know its probly the 1 billion dollar question in general)
Thanks for the info. I have most of the fasting ducks in my repertoire, but they are running helter skelter all over the yard. This was helpful in gathering them into a straight row of knowledge.
How would you approach fast of a person with cirrhosis of liver?Is juice fast alternative as it keeps the body capable of performance of detox pathways?
Hello Paul, I got a Question nor really regarding fasting, but rather Grains - I am Living mostly strictly vegetarian, in Winter I crave for eggs, so i eat em during that period. But as soon as the Weather gets warmer, I go "normal" ... Well - my Question is how you deal with Grains, as I eat 100% organic and unprocessed for years- as far as I "know" Germany is quite strict on the whole reglementation - But I hear/read everywhere about being intolerant to Gluten ... My girlfriend is usually using just Spelt, Buckwheat and a Little bit of Rye for baking (I know, that Rye has a big amount of Gluten)... It seems like a luxury-Problem, but I am kinda confused regarding that topic. What else I wanted to ask you, As I am also Coach of a Uni Gym here in Germany(you probably can't compare em to the US ones) and becoming a healing practicioner, to be able to learn and provide Osteopathic Therapy - Are you coming to Germany anytime? Your insights and Knowledge would flourish quite Well...
As it seems like the German "Clients"/"Students" either take only foreigners or People who've been abroad serious... and of course I'd Love to visit your courses or learn from you in General personaly - As I am also studying Physics by the Way it is hardly manageable to go to UK for Seminars... And also what I was asking myself for a while ... How Do you stand towards Jiddu Krishnamurti? I Studied Philosophy before and stopped As I came in touch with old Krishna, there was barely nothing I could feel a Taste of in Philosophy except Spinoza and a few others, that didn't contradict their own teachings ... I also read some Ken Wilber and that Seemed like a synthesis of David Bohm and old Krishna ... Haha I lose the red String all the Time, would Love to say everything in one sentence ...haha Anyway I want to express an unexpressable "Thank you" from Heart for everything that you share! I with you all necessecary to stay away from the unnecessecary !:) Kons'
Would intermittent fasting (without reducing daily calorie intake) be considered the yo-yo effect you mentioned (a positive stress and then a negative stress)? Should fasting always lead to a lower calorie intake for the day? Thank you!
Also would taking Moringa as a supplemental booster to aid in the nutrition deficit be beneficial even though I'm fasting? And what about consuming food grade diameatrius earth periodically throughout the day? Would this be an ok plan to follow?
Paul, do ‘calorie-free’ sweeteners (that have a couple grams of carbs that are likely not metabolized) like stevia+erythritol interrupt the beneficial physiological effects of fasting? Thanks
Paul, you mentioned joining a boxing club @ 17:50. I have found this a great way to get in shape but I'm worried about getting smacked in the head too much. Could you or anyone expand on your opinion of boxing and head trauma. I'm guessing that everything in moderation is good right?
We are in the middle of printing a new edition, so it will be back in stock soon. In the meantime, I know there are still a few copies left at the C.H.E.K Institute and you can order directly from www.chekinstitute.com/shop
How do you feel about scheduling daily eating by skipping breakfast, aka intermittent fasting? Eating for example 2 meals per day but later on. In case the person is in tune with how much they need to eat and not go overboard. I currently do it occasionally if I'm not that hungry at breakfast I'd just drink tea. It feels good to not always have the food in there at all times as you mentioned. Love and chi :-)
+Dimitrije Beric My approach is: A. Always listen to your body, but B. Be aware of what choices you've made with regard to all 4 Doctor categories, for ineffective choices can cause your body to react in many ways. For example, if you are eating too much at night relative to ideal for your body (which can because you are fasting in the earlier hours of the day), you may not feel hungry in the morning on successive days. This can be deceiving because your "body doesn't feel like eating", not because that is natural for it, but "because it is still burdened with the labor of more than ideal amounts of food in the evening"; this results in the glands and organs working excessively at night, resulting in "them being tired in the morning hours, thus one's perception that they are not hungry" - the key point being is that the most likely would be hungry if they were in tune with their body in a more holistic manner. C. Be aware of the effects of any medical or recreational drugs and stimulants consumed, for they can cause significant shifts in your ability to accurately perceive instincts. D. Grow into healthy use of intuition, which is a more powerful means of finding the invisible connections the ego and instincts can't perceive, but are often very relevant. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hey Paul, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question about food, If i have raw organic goats milk should i allways drink/eat that first before anything else? Because i've heard that it's best to eat your carbs and fiber first before meat/fat. What's your intake on this does it really matter in what order i eat my food in? Love and chi.
+Simon Petersen In your book How to eat move and be healthy you mention to eat raw foods first. But because the yoghurt containing fats im unsure if i should it it before my fiber meal.
Hi Paul! What do i do to identify what i'm allergic to? I've been getting irregular stools lately and can't find out what food really causing it from my diet. Do you have some tips where i should start seeking into this?Much love Paul!
+Johan Follow the directions in my book "How To Eat, Move and Be Healthy!" to optimize your digestion and elimination, and individualize your diet. Follow the 4-day rotation diet plan and keep the number of foods to 3 at maximum; one flesh food and two plant sources, and record it all. This way, you can identify what foods are causing you problems, and what the symptoms are. Then exclude that food for three months and re-test. This is a simplistic overview. You can also get food allergy/intolerance testing done through various doctors and therapists, and some companies like ALCAT will send test kits directly to the public. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hi Paul, great video. Not sure if you are aware of this, but the yogi fasting tea you recommend has malted barley in it, which according celiac.org contains gluten...
+dynamicwellness33 Hi, Thanks for bringing that up. Great job that you noticed too! I've learned from my own experience that we must check in with our body in each such instance and see "what it has to say". Some forms of a substance may not cause a person problems, while other forms can; I personally am VERY gluten intolerant, but have no negative reaction to Yogi Fasting Tea. When I use muscle testing, or soul connection, I get a "yes", you can use that response. That is how I make these decisions, but naturally, that takes time and commitment to develop a reliable relationship with your inner-self to learn to get the ego-mind out of the equation; the ego has a real tendency to "believe what it things and reads and often what it hears", and in so doing, "makes it true such that physical symptoms appear to confirm that conviction." Ok, I better run. Great "Awareness" work. Keep exploring. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hello Paul. how are you doing?? quick question for you. I'm 18 and I was wondering what can someone my age do to become a man in a healthy way. My father hasn't been a great example of masculinity or manliness in my life. that may also be due to the fact that he was absent most of my life and even when he was there for me he didn't seem like he cared a lot to give me advice. There was always a good side to him though. he wasn't that bad. Thank you Paul... you are an inspiration to me :-D
+Andy Methasa I just answered the first question on my new blog titled "A Rabbit With Horns - Active Imagination" that addresses your question. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Ive been on a 72 Hour water fast now with my fourth day tomorrow, need your help in the steps and practices i can do as my Blood sugar was 61 today. Is it at a dangerous level or It'll be fine as my body kicks into Ketosis.
Ezequiel Cabbad so that means having urge for sex isnt supposed to be happening with a healthy person? I mean, till certain extend having desire for sex is considered normal otherwise it wouldnt happen. Even those who live isolled from opposite sex get the desire running hard in their bodies time to time no? anyway, complicated topic.
NorthWind - intermittent fasting actually raises my libido. When I go 18 hours per day with no solid food, and eat "modestly" and healthy during the remaining 6 hours; my sex drive sky rockets. I try to do this 4-7 days a week. But, I also lift weights that target my major muscle groups. I think the combo is what does it. As a side effect I also have periods of extreme mental clarity.
Thx, for the info , I've been experimenting just a lil. Probably gonna stop soon, don't wanna loose muscle, I thought I might actually gain some by shocking my system and taking aminos, idk? But anyway thx! again.
hey Paul ..thanks for the info..got a question though..what do u mean when u say cheap whey protein..?.. is the more expensive ones consider better nutrition...???
+Chris D Santos I explain that in my book "HTEM&BH!" and I have an article on whey protein powders on my www.ppssuccess.com site in the articles section. Love and chi, Paul
Hey Paul i brought your book and got lots of good information but my goals in life is to put on as much weight muscle as possible because i am extreme ectomorph really skinny and i am in gym, from what i gather its not good to eat so much is there a way i can do this healthy ?
+Haste h In actual fact, when it comes to putting on muscle, regardless of body type, it is as simple as having a well designed training program, and letting your body guide you to what, and how much to eat; the more muscle you break down in training, the more hungry your body becomes. The body needs a wide variety of nutrients, and most people have far too little variety, and eat low quality foods, which only adds additional stress to the body that results in poor muscle development, and injuries; usually the result of chronic inflammation from training that the body doesn't have the resources to manage. It would be wise of you to do all the functional testing in my book "HTEM&BH!" to make sure your stretching program is ideal, and that your core function is ideal, or the added resistance training is likely to lead to structural imbalances that lead to inflammation and pain and ultimately become yet another reason you can't grow. I've turned many a skinny man into muscular men, so I'm very familiar with all the essential details of the process. If you are serious about putting on muscle, it would be wise to also study my "Program Design" and then "Advanced Program Design" correspondence courses. Weight training is a science, and many who "think they know what they are doing" really don't. It is painful for me to walk into most any gym and see what people are paying trainers "to do to people"..... Love and chi, Paul Chek
Cool thankyou i will re read your book i didnt do the streches i do the zone excercises i will have to re read and take in more, where can i find your program deisgn and advanced program design i checked your website think i found the first one but not second.. i just want to be written up a diet plan and workout plan to follow i dont want to learn it all or is that the best way to go about it
dear master i listened to primal pattern diet audio (sorrry for english it isnt my native) if my body and soul tell me i dont have parasites but my poop isnt optimal everyday who to trust ? i also recently started 100 day gong and first 2 weeks i felt rise in chi (energy in my hands was getting more intensive daily) now it seems to be lower is that normal? when working in is combination of workin techniques better than doing only 1 per session? i usually rotate chi circles, breathing squats, energy push, zen swing in one session somtimes crow walk, mekenzi pushup and freestyle make their way into session. can u heal from parasites and fungus infections be healed with combination of 4doctors, htmbh, PPEating? i cant afford p&f infections dvd right now
Rui G i wrote extensive answer but it got lost due to misclick. tldr - mister paul is a master of many things, he indirectly helped me in many ways i am grateful for that and i see him as a mentor(or master)
I hear you! The best lectures on RUclips, concerning fasting, that is purely based on science, comes from Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist. Many of his lectures and interviews can be found here on RUclips. He won't bore you with unsubstantiated mystical rhetoric. Everything he talks about, concerning mechanisms and efficacy of fasting, is based on endocrinology, cell biology and metabolism - no reference to Jedi mind tricks.
You would lend a lot more credibility to your lecture on fasting if you jettisoned all the references to chakras, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and other forms of woo. There is a lot of science establishing the health benefits of fasting. You don't need to buttress it with a whole lot of magical mumbo jumbo and just plain pseudo-scientific babble! It would be the equivalent of someone giving a lecture on a legitimate scientific subject - like the special theory of relativity - and then interspersing that lecture with references to the dark side of the Force, and the efficacy of Harry Potter's wand. In short, the TRUE benefits of fasting come from its ability to reverse insulin resistance, thereby conferring on the practitioner better glucose control. Furthermore, fasting inhibits insulin like growth factor. It stimulates growth hormone production, and enables autophagy . All these health benefits are impressive enough. We don't have to add unfounded mystical powers as a reason to fast. For those who want the science behind the benefits of fasting, instead of listening to soft spoken Lord Voldemort here, listen to some excellent lectures and interviews by nephrologist Dr Jason Fung, which can be found here on YoutTube.
I hear what you are saying. But I for one, am glad to hear at least the acknowledgment of spiritual practices and the uses of fasting in indigenous cultures. Which I actually think predates science by quite a bit? And fasting is employed by most of the worlds major religions? Even the good Dr. Fung admits that openly. Isn't most of science just an attempt to explain a natural phenomena? To claim that 'science' (whoever he/she is) knows everything about fasting would be silly. Humbly speaking. I believe we've had medical science for what? 100-200 years? The AMA was formed in 1847? And yet the world is getting fatter. Obesity was up again this year, according to the numbers. I first heard of Paul Chek over 20 years ago. I highly doubt he has to worry about his 'credibility'. Whatever that is.
I agree, Paul Check is a Holistic Mentor, and overlooking the experiential knowledge of indigenous cultures is quite stupid as they have a lot to offer, similar to the way they have contributed towards medicine via plant infusion knowledge, etc.
Just half way through the book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Dr. Weston A. Price - the Aboriginals used a specific insect (in a certain form) that a woman rubbed on her chest to stimulate milk production when the childs mother would've died (I couldn't believe it when I read that, aswell as their way of life and their way of growing /selecting/ their children). That, and many many more things, aren't scientifically proven, yet work and are proof of the profound knowledge that our ancestors had without a laboratory, heck, they even did surgeries on the head! Also, as long as they stayed on their natural diets, their health, immunity, strenght, bravery, intelligence and happiness were outstanding, they were absolutely trustworthy, and overly drunkenness, crimes and alike were very, very rare. Besides that, as we all know, a vast majority of the scientists today sell themselves and aren't credible anymore (most studies are absolutely useless if you look into them close enough), aswell as there are big companies who invest a ton of money to do very useless studies just so that there is no more capacity left for other studies. Also, many people, especially on the web, sell themselves aswell to a) parts of the (supplement) industry where they claim to use products that they don't - and almost always prefer to create content in order to sell more (count the podcasts where they don't wanna sell you something), and b) the community - and what I mean with that is that they, just like the medical system does, give the people what they WANT, not what they NEED (take pill xyz aka shortcut/easy way, this works like magic, you need this new scientifically proven hightech instrument,...). As Paul Chek once in an interview said, a good practitioner (and the like) always tells the people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. It's not about making friends, it's not about selling stuff, it's about truly helping people, telling them the truth and getting to the root cause (I don't say that symptom relief for example isn't necessary in some cases) instead of distracting them with millions of articles and products that aren't helpful in a lot of cases but cost a lot of money and time. I feel like we should come the fuck back to earth and re-establish intuition and spiritual practices, instead of trusting in science which is still in a very "young and experimental" state (understanding everything holistically, we continuously discover new mechanisms in the body, new hormones, new "important" nutrients, new xyz, new spectra of frequencies in light/sound/..., long-term studies) and who claims one year that X is poison and suddenly X is healthy. They also rarely differentiate between all the types of human beings that there are - and that there simply can't be a single one diet, or food, or a single one range for certain blood measurements that fits everyone (especially when accounting illness). With that said, as Paul mentioned aswell in regards to vegetarianism and veganism, I don't think this is all bad, but we gotta trust our body first and use this "new" information wisely and always take it with a grain of salt, especially when somebody claims to have the new and best xyz that everybody should do/take/use/eat/drink/... All the best
speak for yourself... why do you believe the forms of woo are in anyway disconnected from the scientific discoveries. perhaps science simply notes the externally observable stuff and the rest is what it feels like from the inside. you are only limiting yourself.. nobody else
I just listened to this guy for more than three hours interviewing Dr Cherrie Tenpenny & now this great fasting advice. The world needs more men like him. As a new subscriber i just want to say, thank you!
Great information. I personally love the mini fasts. I tend to fast every day for a minimum of 12 hours (last meal at 8pm, eat no earlier than 8am) which isn't huge but enough of a conscious break from eating to be beneficial for mind and digestion. Some days push it towards a 16-20 hour fast on rest days and lower activity days.
i usually fast on my two days off from work. Depending on how I feel I either dry fast or water fast for the two days
Would be lovely to hear an update on this on your channel 🙏🏾
I know I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Anders Milan Flixportal =)
@Duke Camilo Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !
Amazing teacher. He speaks about spiritual side too! Energy! Freaquencies! I wish there could be more doctors like that
this is perfect. his wisdom is beyond feeble minds.
This video clearly demonstrates your vast personalised and professional wisdom Paul! Thank you for all your contribution.
In the sea of broscience tips on fasting This is soooo good info! Thank you
I just found Paul a few days ago he is an amazing human with a wealth of knowledge
I ❤ Paul Chek!
He loves you too.
Paul you are a blessing. Thank you for your extensive knowledge and kindness to share this with the public.
I've got some questions around training and fasting. I currently have started a 16/8 fast everyday. My work out regiment is fairly intense. Should my fast vary on the intensity of my work outs?
Primary goal is to reduce body fat over the course of 8 weeks, stay relatively lean. Currently sitting at about 14% BF, at 6'2 and 231 lbs. If anyone else sees this please chime in with your thoughts or advice. New to fasting and now sure how to program around exercise and training. I've done some research but always enjoy others sharing personal experiences and advice.
God, I love the way you talk about the animals. I have known this for some time yet no one I know gets it , you explained it so beautifully
Yeah. This is the most overlooked thing in food right now.
The only fast is a water-only fast - anything else is not fasting. Also, after ~3 days, the body enters protein sparing - saving muscle - not consuming increasing amounts of it. Ketosis fully kicks in at around 48 hours for females and 72 hours for males.
Dry fast?
acv with lemon ginger and bile salts help the liver when fasting
Really glad I got into Paul Chek, his philosophy on things is amazing
Completely agree! He's the best teacher I've come across online 🙌
You just convinced me to pick up your book that's been collecting dust my shelf. Thanks Paul!

Thank you sir! For giving all of your wisdom to younger poor educated generations!
Wish I knew about you sooner man! Awesome teacher. So informative
Enzymes, vitamins and micronutrients... yes. Bioptimizers if I recall right, have excellent MassZyme product of enzymes, I should probably invest in that at some point before doing a longer fast. I did a 60 hour water fast once, and it felt good enough, clean enough. But that's probably because I've not eaten much junk food lately then.
Great video. I'm on a one meal a day route with a very low calorie vegi meal. I'm noticing detox a week into the vegetable dinner. A metal taste on my tongue, a weird body odor, trouble sleeping, nausea- my first major detox
How are we ?
Very unfortunate you removed 128 pages of information , when your reader is not the average reader my friend.
You're the man, Paul.
Paul thank you so much for sharing this information you are full of so much wisdom and practical advice
Thank you for the video, Paul. I recently completed a bone broth-chaga mushroom tea fast. It was quite excellent! I sent you some of my chaga a while ago; hope you enjoyed and congratulations on welcoming Mana!
+eschein7
Hi,
Thank you for sending me the chaga mushrooms.
I have only used them as ground powders for teas mostly.
Could you be so kind as to send an email to me via my assistant, Vidya McNeill (vidya@paulchek.com) with any suggestions you can offer as to how to best use the mushrooms you sent?
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Love you Mr. Check 🙏🏻
Dr. Paul you stated that after 3 days of fasting your body begins to eat at the body muscle. This statement contradicts Dr. Fung statement that FASTING doesn't so diminish muscle mass. Can you give more information on the subject.
Thank you for an informative clip - i am a vegan, while i used to eat meat i would make sure it was organic grass fed & wild caught. I use hemp & pea protein as a source of protein as i train a lot. I would love to implement fasting, currently i am intermitted fasting, do you recommend a 1 or 3 day fast & do you have a system i can learn/purchase etc?
+Emily loves the ocean
Hi,
Without knowing the kinds of details I have to gather to work with clients, I can't really give you wise guidance.
That said, if you want to experiment with fasting, start small (mini-fast) and work up from there, paying close attention to how your body-mind responds.
As a vegan, I would encourage you to not be a fanatical vegan; the nutritional needs of our genes, and our body-mind are highly individual, AND change constantly; if our ideas about eating are less dynamic than our body-mind, then we end up "living a dogma" and I can assure you, there are countless people living vegetarian and vegan dogmas, promoting this way of living as "the way for optimal health", yet to the trained eye, they show many signs of body-mind stress and imbalance.
The secret is to be a vegan when your body-mind needs that, eat fish, eggs, meat, or fast when your body-mind needs that. One can only learn how to live in balance by having an intimate relationship with their body-mind, which excludes making choices based on what others say in books, articles, videos, etc. Every "ism" should be seen as a tool in your toolbox to be used like a good mechanic uses a tool, which is "when it is the ideal tool for the job".
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Hi Paul, because I am frequent flyer so I am "supporting spraying chemicals". That is true,sad to say, and I was always thinking about it! On other hand I am supporting organic farming community but it is just crazy to know that I am aware of almost all corporations BS stuff that they are throwing at us and I don't feel good about it! Quick Q for today Paul, I pulled my groin muscle and a ligament 5 weeks ago. I am taking cold showers every day, 5-10 min sometimes twice a day and putting cold package on injured area. When I flex this muscle and touch it I can feel discomfort and if I sit down for too long it causes more discomfort and some pain. I am very careful the way I move during the day, not exercising, not lifting heavy stuff, eating organic food, drinking a lot water and etc. Should I ice it more or maybe do stretching? Completely lay down on my bed for few days? Thank You! See you in SD :)
No you are not supporting spraying chemicals. That's condensation from a very hot plane engine flying trough very cold air. So essentially, you are contributing to cloud production. Don't believe everything your guru tells you. Use what's beneficial, discard what is not. Chemtrails are not real...

+Johan Wallman sorry, but chemtrails, geoengineering is very real, research it, look up, think about how the sky used to look, depending on how old you are, visit website of dane wigington. I know it seems unbelievable, and you go through so many emotions on waking up to all of this as you go on to become aware of all the other negatives going on against humanity too. we don't have to rely on our tvs anymore, information is there on the web, we just need the curiosity, open mindedness to go look for it, research and discern all we hear for ouselves.
Hey Paul, where did you find that shirt?
And thanks for the inspiration and information, as always.
hi Paul,
Thanks for the upload, great video yet again! Quick question..for someone with an autoimmune disease, do you think that a medically supervised fast would be necessary to stop it and reverse symptoms?
Also on a separate note, I know someone had already asked you to do a video blog on this topic... which is 'life and death as a whole'.. do you think that you could do a video explaining from your life experience 'what it's all about'? The reason I am asking is that your videos and information on health and living a full life are absolutely priceless and definitely work but at the end of the day and inevitably everyone has to die...so whether we live a happy and healthy life for next 50 years or whether we die tomorrow...what is the difference in the grand scheme of things? Also, there are many people in the world who don't have the means to improve their lives and health and yet they still have to find inner peace somehow...so does everyone have a purpose in life...i.e. something they need to do (even if it's something that they are afraid of?) to achieve 'enlightenment' or freedom?
I know it's a deep topic but I guess it's the eternal question after all...what is it all about? I would love to hear your thoughts at some point on a v-log!
Loving the series tho!
love and chi!
Jeremie
Good Evening Mr. Chek! I have two questions for you, and know your time is valuable so I will keep them brief: First, I'm curious if you personally use, or recommend using, a water ionizer that produces "reduced water". Second, are tickets to your September seminar in the US available yet?
Thank you for your time!

Hey Paul,
I am a big fan of yours. I am studying physiotherapy right now and i plan to take some of your courses. I'm most definitely a protein type and i am eating more organ meat. I can only get my hands on liver at the moment. I eat around 1 piece every day or 2. What is your opinion on vitamin A over-consumption?
Thanks
Hey Paul! My name is D. I am 16 years old and from germany. I have a very very important question: how can I learn to love my body?
Since I can remember, I always hated my body. I`m very tall for a girl (~6.1 feet) and I never was normal. When I got 10, I had to wear braces. My teeth were perfect, but the dentist didn`t care. She wanted the money. I had to wear this thing for 5 years. Now, they look worse than before. With 11 years, I suddenly gained wheight. My parents freaked out about that, especially my father. He forced me to loose wheight, but my body had to grow even more. I started dieting and exercising every day. I lost pounds, but my body quickly regained them. Typical, as I know today. Sometimes I hungered more than a week. The worst thing was, that I totally overexercised myself. My parents didn`t know. (Today they know, but they don`t care)That was the time I first had bulimia. I could stop it by myself. With 13, a doctor diagnosed a problem with my spine: scoliosis. I had to wear a corsett for 20 hours a day. (By now,14 hours) The other students laughed about me and called me a crippel. And while my friends ran around in beautiful thight dresses, I had to wear something big to cover my upper body so nobody could see the thing on it. I started to hate myself even more. With 15 I had Bulimia again. It was a nightmare, but I could control it again. Two months ago I started vomiting again. I was able to stop.
But I am scared: what, it I get this mind-f*ck another time? I can`t stand this selfhate anymore!
I don`t have a problem with my character, but with my body. How can I finally see my body as a beautiful thing? As... me?

+Blubbl Blabb Hello, I sm s 47 year old female. And reading your question touched something in my heart. I don't really have any advice i can give you besides to just hang in there and take one day at a time.

Hi D!
Reading your comment reminds me so much about my story.
Few practices that helped me to start loving my body and myself more:
- looking in the mirror into my eyes and saying I love you in the begging I couldn’t do it or I was avoiding looking into my eyes, it happened after 5-6 years that when I said it I felt it also, amazing feeling.
- spending time in nature and connecting with the earth, trees , flowers makes me feel beautiful. Seeing the beauty around and knowing I am part of it.
- practice Bioenergetics
-moving my body as the body wants( dancing ) it’s so pleasurable that it makes so much easier to love my body
- laying down with a hand on my belly and one on my heart, breathing slowly and feeling that I hold my inner child and connect with what I am feeling and if I am sad I cry or if I am angry I try to run or hit a pillow
- when I feel bad lately I start saying affirmations out loud: I am beautiful, I am strong, I am light after few minutes I start feeling better
- making like a ritual some evenings and give myself a full body massage
I hope you will find some of the practices helpful. I am sure you are beautiful and you will let your light shine bright one day 🌺🌞🌷
Fabulous video, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
this is great Paul - but the first step of "stop eating crap" .. boy o boy, when my willpower is dead (which is LOTS of days) i just don't know how to do it. Any insights would be great (i know its probly the 1 billion dollar question in general)
First to comment!! Great vid I needed more information thanks Paul, peace and love
Thanks for the info. I have most of the fasting ducks in my repertoire, but they are running helter skelter all over the yard.
This was helpful in gathering them into a straight row of knowledge.
How would you approach fast of a person with cirrhosis of liver?Is juice fast alternative as it keeps the body capable of performance of detox pathways?
todays' Muslims fasting is the most yo yo fasting i have fasted as they tend to overeat when the fast is over, causes a lot of discomfort.
I fucking love you Paul Chek!
Thanks man, glad I found this.
Hello Paul,
I got a Question nor really regarding fasting, but rather Grains -
I am Living mostly strictly vegetarian, in Winter I crave for eggs, so i eat em during that period.
But as soon as the Weather gets warmer, I go "normal" ...
Well - my Question is how you deal with Grains, as I eat 100% organic and unprocessed for years- as far as I "know" Germany is quite strict on the whole reglementation - But I hear/read everywhere about being intolerant to Gluten ...
My girlfriend is usually using just Spelt, Buckwheat and a Little bit of Rye for baking (I know, that Rye has a big amount of Gluten)... It seems like a luxury-Problem, but I am kinda confused regarding that topic.
What else I wanted to ask you, As I am also Coach of a Uni Gym here in Germany(you probably can't compare em to the US ones) and becoming a healing practicioner, to be able to learn and provide Osteopathic Therapy - Are you coming to Germany anytime?
Your insights and Knowledge would flourish quite Well...
As it seems like the German "Clients"/"Students" either take only foreigners or People who've been abroad serious...
and of course I'd Love to visit your courses or learn from you in General personaly - As I am also studying Physics by the Way it is hardly manageable to go to UK for Seminars...
And also what I was asking myself for a while ... How Do you stand towards Jiddu Krishnamurti?
I Studied Philosophy before and stopped As I came in touch with old Krishna, there was barely nothing I could feel a Taste of in Philosophy except Spinoza and a few others, that didn't contradict their own teachings ...
I also read some Ken Wilber and that Seemed like a synthesis of David Bohm and old Krishna ... Haha I lose the red String all the Time, would Love to say everything in one sentence ...haha
Anyway I want to express an unexpressable "Thank you" from Heart for everything that you share!
I with you all necessecary to stay away from the unnecessecary !:)

+Konstantin Resch "would flourish here"
Absolutely enjoyed this thank you! I have been wondering & tend to fast out of it just coming about.
Would intermittent fasting (without reducing daily calorie intake) be considered the yo-yo effect you mentioned (a positive stress and then a negative stress)? Should fasting always lead to a lower calorie intake for the day? Thank you!
Great information Mr.Paul.
What about one of those 10 day Purium cleanses? Would that be considered a "fast"? Also, what do you think about them?
Thank you. Solid info as always.
Thank you very much for your videos Paul Check
Great work Paul!
Also would taking Moringa as a supplemental booster to aid in the nutrition deficit be beneficial even though I'm fasting? And what about consuming food grade diameatrius earth periodically throughout the day? Would this be an ok plan to follow?
Paul, do ‘calorie-free’ sweeteners (that have a couple grams of carbs that are likely not metabolized) like stevia+erythritol interrupt the beneficial physiological effects of fasting? Thanks
Paul, you mentioned joining a boxing club @ 17:50. I have found this a great way to get in shape but I'm worried about getting smacked in the head too much. Could you or anyone expand on your opinion of boxing and head trauma. I'm guessing that everything in moderation is good right?
Your book is sold out on amazon,its been a while too.
We are in the middle of printing a new edition, so it will be back in stock soon. In the meantime, I know there are still a few copies left at the C.H.E.K Institute and you can order directly from www.chekinstitute.com/shop
How do you feel about scheduling daily eating by skipping breakfast, aka intermittent fasting? Eating for example 2 meals per day but later on. In case the person is in tune with how much they need to eat and not go overboard. I currently do it occasionally if I'm not that hungry at breakfast I'd just drink tea. It feels good to not always have the food in there at all times as you mentioned.
Love and chi :-)
+Dimitrije Beric
My approach is:
A. Always listen to your body, but
B. Be aware of what choices you've made with regard to all 4 Doctor categories, for ineffective choices can cause your body to react in many ways. For example, if you are eating too much at night relative to ideal for your body (which can because you are fasting in the earlier hours of the day), you may not feel hungry in the morning on successive days. This can be deceiving because your "body doesn't feel like eating", not because that is natural for it, but "because it is still burdened with the labor of more than ideal amounts of food in the evening"; this results in the glands and organs working excessively at night, resulting in "them being tired in the morning hours, thus one's perception that they are not hungry" - the key point being is that the most likely would be hungry if they were in tune with their body in a more holistic manner.
C. Be aware of the effects of any medical or recreational drugs and stimulants consumed, for they can cause significant shifts in your ability to accurately perceive instincts.
D. Grow into healthy use of intuition, which is a more powerful means of finding the invisible connections the ego and instincts can't perceive, but are often very relevant.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Hey Paul, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question about food, If i have raw organic goats milk should i allways drink/eat that first before anything else? Because i've heard that it's best to eat your carbs and fiber first before meat/fat. What's your intake on this does it really matter in what order i eat my food in?
Love and chi.
+Simon Petersen In your book How to eat move and be healthy you mention to eat raw foods first. But because the yoghurt containing fats im unsure if i should it it before my fiber meal.
I'm starting a 3 day juice fast. Low fructose.
Hi Paul! What do i do to identify what i'm allergic to? I've been getting irregular stools lately and can't find out what food really causing it from my diet. Do you have some tips where i should start seeking into this?Much love Paul!
+Johan
Follow the directions in my book "How To Eat, Move and Be Healthy!" to optimize your digestion and elimination, and individualize your diet. Follow the 4-day rotation diet plan and keep the number of foods to 3 at maximum; one flesh food and two plant sources, and record it all. This way, you can identify what foods are causing you problems, and what the symptoms are. Then exclude that food for three months and re-test. This is a simplistic overview. You can also get food allergy/intolerance testing done through various doctors and therapists, and some companies like ALCAT will send test kits directly to the public.
Love and chi,

Hi Paul, great video. Not sure if you are aware of this, but the yogi fasting tea you recommend has malted barley in it, which according celiac.org contains gluten...
+dynamicwellness33
Hi,
Thanks for bringing that up.
Great job that you noticed too!
I've learned from my own experience that we must check in with our body in each such instance and see "what it has to say".
Some forms of a substance may not cause a person problems, while other forms can; I personally am VERY gluten intolerant, but have no negative reaction to Yogi Fasting Tea. When I use muscle testing, or soul connection, I get a "yes", you can use that response. That is how I make these decisions, but naturally, that takes time and commitment to develop a reliable relationship with your inner-self to learn to get the ego-mind out of the equation; the ego has a real tendency to "believe what it things and reads and often what it hears", and in so doing, "makes it true such that physical symptoms appear to confirm that conviction."
Ok, I better run.
Great "Awareness" work.
Keep exploring.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Hello Paul. how are you doing?? quick question for you. I'm 18 and I was wondering what can someone my age do to become a man in a healthy way. My father hasn't been a great example of masculinity or manliness in my life. that may also be due to the fact that he was absent most of my life and even when he was there for me he didn't seem like he cared a lot to give me advice. There was always a good side to him though. he wasn't that bad. Thank you Paul... you are an inspiration to me :-D

Ive been on a 72 Hour water fast now with my fourth day tomorrow, need your help in the steps and practices i can do as my Blood sugar was 61 today. Is it at a dangerous level or It'll be fine as my body kicks into Ketosis.
Not dangerous
Thank you for sharing. Good insight
brilliant tips thank you Paul!
thank you for this amazing video! helped me a lot
Paul or anyone can relate to this, fasting and intermittent fasting lowered my libido from 10 to 1... anyone?
that's maybe because having sex isn't a thing you need
Ezequiel Cabbad so that means having urge for sex isnt supposed to be happening with a healthy person? I mean, till certain extend having desire for sex is considered normal otherwise it wouldnt happen. Even those who live isolled from opposite sex get the desire running hard in their bodies time to time no? anyway, complicated topic.
NorthWind - intermittent fasting actually raises my libido. When I go 18 hours per day with no solid food, and eat "modestly" and healthy during the remaining 6 hours; my sex drive sky rockets. I try to do this 4-7 days a week. But, I also lift weights that target my major muscle groups. I think the combo is what does it. As a side effect I also have periods of extreme mental clarity.
Thx, for the info , I've been experimenting just a lil. Probably gonna stop soon, don't wanna loose muscle, I thought I might actually gain some by shocking my system and taking aminos, idk? But anyway thx! again.
hey Paul ..thanks for the info..got a question though..what do u mean when u say cheap whey protein..?.. is the more expensive ones consider better nutrition...???
+Chris D Santos
I explain that in my book "HTEM&BH!" and I have an article on whey protein powders on my www.ppssuccess.com site in the articles section.

thanks..helpful info...keep up the blessed work...:)..
Good day has Mr. Chek ever discussed intermittent fasting?
Thanks Paul
Thank you.....
Image to have paul as a dad , that would suck.LOL
Thank u for great information
Got to have a dream !!!
Hey Paul i brought your book and got lots of good information but my goals in life is to put on as much weight muscle as possible because i am extreme ectomorph really skinny and i am in gym,
from what i gather its not good to eat so much is there a way i can do this healthy ?
+Haste h
In actual fact, when it comes to putting on muscle, regardless of body type, it is as simple as having a well designed training program, and letting your body guide you to what, and how much to eat; the more muscle you break down in training, the more hungry your body becomes. The body needs a wide variety of nutrients, and most people have far too little variety, and eat low quality foods, which only adds additional stress to the body that results in poor muscle development, and injuries; usually the result of chronic inflammation from training that the body doesn't have the resources to manage.
It would be wise of you to do all the functional testing in my book "HTEM&BH!" to make sure your stretching program is ideal, and that your core function is ideal, or the added resistance training is likely to lead to structural imbalances that lead to inflammation and pain and ultimately become yet another reason you can't grow. I've turned many a skinny man into muscular men, so I'm very familiar with all the essential details of the process. If you are serious about putting on muscle, it would be wise to also study my "Program Design" and then "Advanced Program Design" correspondence courses. Weight training is a science, and many who "think they know what they are doing" really don't. It is painful for me to walk into most any gym and see what people are paying trainers "to do to people".....
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Cool thankyou i will re read your book i didnt do the streches i do the zone excercises i will have to re read and take in more,
where can i find your program deisgn and advanced program design i checked your website think i found the first one but not second..
i just want to be written up a diet plan and workout plan to follow i dont want to learn it all or is that the best way to go about it
dear master i listened to primal pattern diet audio (sorrry for english it isnt my native)
if my body and soul tell me i dont have parasites but my poop isnt optimal everyday who to trust ?
i also recently started 100 day gong and first 2 weeks i felt rise in chi (energy in my hands was getting more intensive daily) now it seems to be lower is that normal?
when working in is combination of workin techniques better than doing only 1 per session?
i usually rotate chi circles, breathing squats, energy push, zen swing in one session somtimes crow walk, mekenzi pushup and freestyle make their way into session.
can u heal from parasites and fungus infections be healed with combination of 4doctors, htmbh, PPEating?
i cant afford p&f infections dvd right now

I hear you! The best lectures on RUclips, concerning fasting, that is purely based on science, comes from Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist. Many of his lectures and interviews can be found here on RUclips. He won't bore you with unsubstantiated mystical rhetoric. Everything he talks about, concerning mechanisms and efficacy of fasting, is based on endocrinology, cell biology and metabolism - no reference to Jedi mind tricks.

Clairvoyance? Unsubscribe.
You would lend a lot more credibility to your lecture on fasting if you jettisoned all the references to chakras, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and other forms of woo. There is a lot of science establishing the health benefits of fasting. You don't need to buttress it with a whole lot of magical mumbo jumbo and just plain pseudo-scientific babble! It would be the equivalent of someone giving a lecture on a legitimate scientific subject - like the special theory of relativity - and then interspersing that lecture with references to the dark side of the Force, and the efficacy of Harry Potter's wand. In short, the TRUE benefits of fasting come from its ability to reverse insulin resistance, thereby conferring on the practitioner better glucose control. Furthermore, fasting inhibits insulin like growth factor. It stimulates growth hormone production, and enables autophagy . All these health benefits are impressive enough. We don't have to add unfounded mystical powers as a reason to fast. For those who want the science behind the benefits of fasting, instead of listening to soft spoken Lord Voldemort here, listen to some excellent lectures and interviews by nephrologist Dr Jason Fung, which can be found here on YoutTube.
I hear what you are saying.
But I for one, am glad to hear at least the acknowledgment of spiritual practices and the uses of fasting in indigenous cultures. Which I actually think predates science by quite a bit? And fasting is employed by most of the worlds major religions? Even the good Dr. Fung admits that openly.
Isn't most of science just an attempt to explain a natural phenomena? To claim that 'science' (whoever he/she is) knows everything about fasting would be silly. Humbly speaking.
I believe we've had medical science for what? 100-200 years? The AMA was formed in 1847? And yet the world is getting fatter. Obesity was up again this year, according to the numbers.
I first heard of Paul Chek over 20 years ago. I highly doubt he has to worry about his 'credibility'. Whatever that is.
I agree, Paul Check is a Holistic Mentor, and overlooking the experiential knowledge of indigenous cultures is quite stupid as they have a lot to offer, similar to the way they have contributed towards medicine via plant infusion knowledge, etc.
Just half way through the book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Dr. Weston A. Price - the Aboriginals used a specific insect (in a certain form) that a woman rubbed on her chest to stimulate milk production when the childs mother would've died (I couldn't believe it when I read that, aswell as their way of life and their way of growing /selecting/ their children). That, and many many more things, aren't scientifically proven, yet work and are proof of the profound knowledge that our ancestors had without a laboratory, heck, they even did surgeries on the head! Also, as long as they stayed on their natural diets, their health, immunity, strenght, bravery, intelligence and happiness were outstanding, they were absolutely trustworthy, and overly drunkenness, crimes and alike were very, very rare.
Besides that, as we all know, a vast majority of the scientists today sell themselves and aren't credible anymore (most studies are absolutely useless if you look into them close enough), aswell as there are big companies who invest a ton of money to do very useless studies just so that there is no more capacity left for other studies. Also, many people, especially on the web, sell themselves aswell to a) parts of the (supplement) industry where they claim to use products that they don't - and almost always prefer to create content in order to sell more (count the podcasts where they don't wanna sell you something), and b) the community - and what I mean with that is that they, just like the medical system does, give the people what they WANT, not what they NEED (take pill xyz aka shortcut/easy way, this works like magic, you need this new scientifically proven hightech instrument,...).
As Paul Chek once in an interview said, a good practitioner (and the like) always tells the people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. It's not about making friends, it's not about selling stuff, it's about truly helping people, telling them the truth and getting to the root cause (I don't say that symptom relief for example isn't necessary in some cases) instead of distracting them with millions of articles and products that aren't helpful in a lot of cases but cost a lot of money and time. I feel like we should come the fuck back to earth and re-establish intuition and spiritual practices, instead of trusting in science which is still in a very "young and experimental" state (understanding everything holistically, we continuously discover new mechanisms in the body, new hormones, new "important" nutrients, new xyz, new spectra of frequencies in light/sound/..., long-term studies) and who claims one year that X is poison and suddenly X is healthy. They also rarely differentiate between all the types of human beings that there are - and that there simply can't be a single one diet, or food, or a single one range for certain blood measurements that fits everyone (especially when accounting illness).
With that said, as Paul mentioned aswell in regards to vegetarianism and veganism, I don't think this is all bad, but we gotta trust our body first and use this "new" information wisely and always take it with a grain of salt, especially when somebody claims to have the new and best xyz that everybody should do/take/use/eat/drink/...
All the best
speak for yourself... why do you believe the forms of woo are in anyway disconnected from the scientific discoveries. perhaps science simply notes the externally observable stuff and the rest is what it feels like from the inside. you are only limiting yourself.. nobody else
(he thinks he knows things)
veganism is not a cult. It's called having ethics and empathy.
