Fasting has been practiced for centuries as a way to cleanse the body, clear the mind, and deepen spiritual connection. When aligned with the full moon, this ancient practice takes on even greater significance. The Full Moon Fast is a monthly commitment that allows us to reset, release, and rejuvenate, harnessing the moon’s natural energy to amplify the body’s detoxification process.
As more people seek holistic approaches to wellness, fasting during the full moon provides a unique opportunity to support deep healing, emotional balance, and metabolic health.

Why Fast with the Full Moon?
The full moon is a time of heightened energy, illumination, and release. Just as the moon influences the ocean’s tides, it also affects the fluids in our bodies, making it the ideal time to cleanse and reset.
? Peak Detoxification: The body’s natural detoxification process is amplified, helping flush out toxins and parasites, which become more active during the full moon.
? Increased Cellular Repair: Fasting triggers autophagy, a process where the body removes damaged cells and regenerates new, healthier ones.
? Emotional & Mental Clarity: The full moon enhances emotional release, making it an excellent time for mental reset and spiritual reflection.
? Metabolic & Digestive Reset: Fasting can improve gut health, balance blood sugar, and increase fat-burning efficiency.
By fasting during this window, we work with our body’s natural cycles rather than against them, creating a powerful monthly practice that evolves over time.

The Science Behind Fasting & Lunar Cycles
?? What Happens When You Fast? Fasting isn’t just about willpower—it’s about giving your body a break from digestion so it can focus on healing and repair. Here’s what happens at different stages of fasting:
? 4-8 Hours: Blood sugar stabilizes, reducing cravings.
? 12 Hours: Human growth hormone increases, supporting fat loss and muscle repair.
? 16-18 Hours: Fat-burning intensifies as the body shifts into ketosis.
? 24 Hours: Autophagy kicks in, clearing out damaged cells and toxins.
? 36+ Hours: Deep cellular repair and anti-aging processes accelerate.
?? Why the Full Moon Matters: During the full moon, serotonin levels peak, which triggers increased activity in parasites and toxins within the body. This makes fasting during this time even more effective for deep detoxification and resetting gut health.

How to Personalize Your Full Moon Fast
One of the most powerful aspects of this fast is that it’s a "Fast Your Way" experience. You can start where you are and build on it each month.
?? Juice Fasting: Drink fresh-pressed juices to flood your body with nutrients while allowing digestion to rest.
?? Smoothie Bowls: Add in blended fruits and superfoods for extra nourishment.
?? Vegetable Broth: A warm, grounding option packed with minerals.
?? Water Fasting: For deeper detox and enhanced mental clarity.
Each person’s fasting journey is different, which is why we repeat this every month. Over time, you may choose to extend your fasting window—whether 24 hours, 48 hours, or the full 72-hour fast.
