What began as a personal experiment turned into a deep physical, mental, and spiritual transformation. Ben walks you through what happens inside the body at each stage of fasting — from autophagy and ketone productionto dopamine reset, stem cell regeneration, and immune system renewal. You’ll learn how fasting can help you heal, boost focus, enhance energy, and even reset your relationship with food.
