Ep. 255: Alan Goldhamer, DC - Can Fasting Save Your Life?

In 1984, True North Health Center (www.healthpromoting.com/) opened their doors in Santa Rosa, California offering an alternative way to heal from disease and lose weight. Since that time, Dr. Alan Goldhamer and his team have supervised over 25,000 water-only fasts - with results that are astounding - disease reversal, weight loss, and a return to metabolic health.
The term “fasting” is all over the place, with intermittent fasting and fasting mimicking diets in the mainstream media. Dr. Goldhamer gives us a quick primer on all of the differences and talks candidly about the importance of diet and lifestyle changes to lifelong health.
As he stresses, a water-only fast - or any fast for that matter - will do no good if you go right back to eating the salty, oily, and sugary foods that destroyed your health in the first place.
Dr. Goldhamer and his colleague, Dr. Tashia Myers, just released the new book Can Fasting Save Your Life? (www.healthpromoting.com/can-f...) - and this is what we discuss today.
So, is fasting a good choice for you? Let’s find out with Dr. Alan Goldhamer.

Great presentation. I have heard Goldhammer many times. My economic situation being what it is I thought maybe I could drop everything,since rent here is unsustatinable for me in upstate NY, and go work at True North but the one job they have open that I am not qualified for only pays 25.00 hr in Santat Rosa CA. How many roommates does the typical True North administrative employee need to be able to survive there?

He's 65?! Holy shit, he looks 15.

I’m concerned about the potential maladaptive behavior of teenagers who might start Fasting because it is “in Vogue” on social media.
Does that ever concern Dr. Goldhamer?
