Who is it for? Those interested in learning and applying current science-based research to increase health span by manipulating periods of low to no calorie intake (therapeutic fasting) to reset the system and progress to higher nutrient-dense intake.

How it works: 3 days eating less (fasting), 2 days fueling for growth (feasting), 6-7:30 am daily yoga with breathwork progressing into more strength-focused practice on Day 4 and Day 5. Listen and learn from Lifespan podcast series and other experts throughout the week for brief morning discussions.
The Payoff: Applied knowledge. Strengthened mind-body connection. Increased clarity and energy. Group motivation. Lighter and leaner physically, mentally, and emotionally.
