Thanks for sharing. Longer fasting is on my to do list. I’ve done 18 hour fasts and want to try a 3 day fast but am still working at 67 and it’s hard to do both.

Good luck to you! My understanding is that autophagy increases by 1000% at 36 hours so that is why I try to do that length (I usually go to about 38 hours)~~I start on Sunday nights at 7 pm and end on Tuesday morning at 7 am. That way it's just one day (Monday) where I don't eat. It's not always easy, but I think it's helping me stay healthy!

I guess the trick is to do it without experiencing the potentially nasty effects of fasting or rapid weight loss on development or progression of gallbladder disease, which could also be triggered or exacerbated independently by SARS-CoV-2 or spike proteins. Dr Berg's blog at the first link below has a few ideas.
