PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Fasting Escape is a quiet, relaxing center to come for supervised fasting (with daily monitoring by Dr. Gershfeld) and healthy re-introduction of food. Fasts can last anywhere from 5-40 days depending on your individual needs.
FASTING
Our bodies are uniquely adapted to survive when food is scarce. Because of this, fasting has been used for centuries for a variety of reasons including improving health. When done properly, a fast allows your body to rest from the stimulation of the modern world - a re-boot. Without this reboot, it can take several weeks or months of avoiding rich foods to get your taste buds adapted to whole natural foods. However, with a fast, this process happens very quickly. Taste buds re-calibrate. Energy & mental clarity return. Desire and ability to exercise are restored. All while the body rejuvenates from the inside out.
Rest assured that although fasting can be an intense healing experience, Dr. Gershfeld has trained under Dr. Alan Goldhamer of the world-renowned True North Health Center and has supervised the fasts of many patients.
HEALTH PROMOTING CUISINE
After your fast, full meals will resume gradually. Delicious, whole, natural vegetarian gourmet cuisine will be prepared for guests as they regain their energy.
INFORMATIVE SPEAKERS
During your stay, there will be occasional guest speakers. They have clinical experience in the field of health promotion and the information will help you in your journey towards a healthy life.
