I successfully completed a 50 hour and 10 minute water fast! This is what my body went through.
🔥 Deep fat-burning — body is fully using stored fat for energy.
🧹 High autophagy — damaged cells are being broken down and cleaned out.
🧬 Immune system reset— old immune cells are cleared so your body can build new, stronger ones.
💓 Lower insulin + blood sugar — stabilizes metabolism.
💪 Growth hormone boost — protects muscle and supports repair.
🔥 Ketones are high — fuels the brain and boosts mental clarity.
🧊 Inflammation decreases — helps reduce pain and swelling.
😌 Nervous system regulation — many people feel calmer, lighter, and more
⚡ Glycogen fully depleted — energy is coming mostly from stored fat.
🧬 Cellular repair increases — DNA repair and stress-response pathways activate.
🔄 Mitochondrial efficiency improves — your cells’ “powerhouses” work cleaner and stronger.
🧘 Stress-response pathways activate — your body becomes more resilient to physical and emotional stress.
💗 Blood pressure may lower — due to reduced insulin and inflammation.
🩸 White blood cell turnover increases — part of the immune refresh process.
🧠 BDNF rises — a brain-support chemical that helps protect neurons and boost mental clarity.
💥 Oxidative damage decreases — fewer free radicals circulating in the body.
🧘♀️ Digestive system is fully resting — giving your gut lining a chance to repair.
