The Miracles of Fasting with Pete Patitsas
Dr. Pete Patitsas ( @theathosdietdrpete2600 ) is an emergency medicine physician who, after visiting Mount Athos, took to a rigorous study of the monks diets. What he (re)discovered was a diet that allowed for weight loss, lots of energy, and an abundance of health. He would later transform his research into 'The Athos Diet.'

This “Enlightened” New World utopia isn’t turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly.

    Obesity is probably more related to food quality than consumption, at least thats what ive gathered. The average metabolism has been destroyed. Ive seen research saying americans used to consume even more calories than they do now. I think that bad health and diet will also be an inhibitor to fasting. It is harder to fast when it causes more pain than merely hunger. Eating consistently can help regulate things like hormonal balance and blood sugar. But ive read that fasting can make those things more resilient. Some health communities, like those inspired by Ray Peat, are very against fasting generally. It is hard to know just by mere science, or comparison of studies and infographics, what is the most beneficial. But fasting at times is prescribed by the church, so i know its necessary and i hope its beneficial. But my bodily health may or may not be a priority of the Church, especially above my soul. Although those priorities are entangled.

    • @joshw3010
      @joshw3010 3 дні тому

      Food quality has gone down, but Americans are far less active than they used to be. So even if we used to eat more calories, we used to burn more as well. I think it's a very complex mix of issues.

    23:20 Pete, there's a difference between public and private debt. Governments are not households. Households cannot print their own money. Think of governments like the bank in the game monopoly. When the players need more money to keep playing, the bank issues it. It even says in the rules that when you run out of money to create more. This misunderstanding is causing so many problems in our world. How can we do anything when our governments are "bankrupt" and "have no money"? See how awfully nihilistic and depressing that sounds?

    The Georgian feast is based on the Orthodox liturgy, specifically on the morning prayer - point by point! As the liturgy is led by a specific priest, so is the toastmaster. The first toast is praise to the Lord and gratitude to Him, thank you, and the second is for peace (peace to you), sometimes both toasts are combined, but rarely. And then, as in the morning prayer for the living, according to the instructions: - Save, Lord, and have mercy on our God-protected country (for the homeland - Sakartvelo) _Save, Lord, and have mercy on the Great Lord and Father of our Most Holy Patriarch (name), _Save, Lord, and have mercy on my parents (their names), brothers and sisters, and my relatives in the flesh, and so on, a toast is always for the deceased and always for the Mother of God and mothers (for sisters, for women) and finally to the guardian angels That's the whole point of the Georgian feasts, but only wine and no other drinks (vodka, cognac, whiskey, port and others are not acceptable for toasts)

    I remember when I started looking into Orthodox Christianity after twenty years as an ordained Baptist then years of being far from the God I still believed in. I started looking into Orthodox Christianity, which I didn’t even know existed for most of my life, then it came to me and I wish remembered how. Anyhow, the demons did not like me going to Divine Liturgy at an Greek Orthodox Church and I too was attacked with scratches in my sleep for a few weeks until I went to a Monastery in north New Mexico and a monk there said he would pray for me and told me to make the Jesus prayer a very serious part of my venture and gave me a wool 100 knot prayer rope 📿. Everything ceased immediately and somehow I knew it would when he told me and as a previous Baptist I didn’t understand this and still don’t fully understand but I know through the Saints the fight is very real.

    Small problem with the shifting Tamadas between tables, you'll have a make a list of who has said what toast at which table. This could get messy. Better to rotate the Tamada on the same table. This has a secondary problem, not everyone *can* be Tamada and nobody should be forced to make a toast. When I first came to Georgia I'd generally sit quietly unless something welled up strongly inside me, then I would ask Tamada. Not trying to criticise, just trying to help.

Her tarot cards will show you your life's history, even decisions you've just made for your future. Again, you'll walk out of there saying, WTF? Who shuffled the deck?" To classify those who've gone down that road as delusional live sheltered lives. Worse than that: they're not being honest with themselves.

      I disagree 1000%. You don’t participate in ANY of that if you don’t want to deal with very dark, threatening forces that you have no ability to fight. An evangelical Christian knows to never step foot in any place like that. It is inviting danger. If you do, find a pastor/priest to do deliverance work with you and go to Jesus Christ and repent, and accept Him as Lord and Savior of your soul. A personal relationship with Jesus will bring more freedom, peace, comfort and joy and an eternal security you can’t possibly imagine.

      Bad advice, especially for a nonbeliever, do not put yourself in a position where you can allow the forces of evil to have any influence on you. I know that this is hard to take advice if you don't believe, and if you can't help yourself and have to dabble in this, just please remember God and all things good. Just ask God and Jesus for help and if you really want this out of your life, you will receive the help that you need to do that.
