Fasting Facts
The Science Behind Fasting
Fasting has been shown to have some powerful effects on the body with profound impacts on cellular function, detoxification, gut health, and systemic regeneration — all of which can contribute to improved health and wellness.
Read on to explore some of the evidence-backed ways fasting supports the body and its processes.
It can help cells become more resilient and resistant to stress.
It triggers a process called autophagy, where the body cleans out old, damaged cells.
Fasting can stimulate the production of detoxification enzymes, which help remove toxins from the body.
It seems to modify the gut microbiome, the community of beneficial bacteria in the intestines where the body hosts the majority of its immune cells and regulates hormones and neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation.
Fasting leads to changes in the intestinal lining and triggers adaptations in the neuroendocrine system (the communication system between the nervous system and hormones).
During the period after fasting (refeeding), it can activate stem cells and promote regeneration across multiple bodily systems.
Fasting also increases mitochondrial biogenesis, meaning it boosts the production of mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of cells, in neurons and other body cells.
The human body is so intelligent.
"When we allow our body a break from processing and metabolising foods, the body looks for nourishment everywhere it can. It goes after stored fat, but it also recycles malfunctioning or inactive cells, like those old, worn-out immune system cells. This cell recycling process, known as autophagy, makes room for your body to create fresh, new immune cells. It’s similar to spring-cleaning in that you declutter your body and end up with a rejuvenated immune system. Many people, especially those whose immune system is compromised, make a concerted effort to fast for a few days once or twice every six months to reset and reboot their immune system with fresh, strong cells.”
Think of fasting as a complete internal renovation… It takes so much energy to digest food, so when our digestive organs get a break,

In the fasting state, the body will scour for dead cells, damaged tissues, fatty deposits, tumours, and abscesses, all of which are burned for fuel or expelled as waste.

“I was in a place of overwhelm, fatigue and confusion before heading into the TWC for my fast (2 week booking). Coming out, I feel totally transformed, beyond what I could have possibly imagined.
My energy levels and vitality have soared, I’m clear-headed, focused, driven, highly productive, joyful, my body and mind feel like they are in peak health (including some niggling physical health issues now gone) and these past few weeks post fast have been full of positive manifestation and abundance.

“I have just completed a 10 day water fast and I'm feeling the healthiest I have felt in years.
It was quite daunting to comprehend doing 10 days of water only and I wasn't sure if I could really do this.
I did the protocols leading up to the fast, jumped on a plane and flew from Busselton WA. On arriving at this amazing warm and happy house, I immediately felt at home and safe with the other beautiful likeminded souls who kept me laughing everyday.
Lara
"My 10-day water fast at Tolman Wellness Centre was more than I ever expected. I went into this experience hoping to reset my body, but I walked away with so much more. The level of support and attention to detail that Thor and Bree created in the centre made the journey far easier than I imagined.
My motivation for undertaking a long water fast was to regenerate and repair my body (and cells) after years of battling tick-borne illness, thyroid disease, and adrenal deficiency.
