The Fast That Rose From Fever
I didn’t plan to start the year with a fast. RSV had me coughing through Christmas, and by the time a fever hit, my body quietly opted out of food. What followed was a 26-hour fast I didn’t choose, but deeply needed. No cravings, no drama. Just hydration, rest, and a surprising sense of clarity. As the fever broke and my symptoms softened, I realized this was more than a sick day. It was a reset. A soft beginning. A reminder to listen inward.
Fasting Forward
After a year that tested me deeply, I’m stepping into 2026 with a 90-day intermittent fasting commitment as a purposeful reset. This isn’t my first time fasting, but it’s the first time I’m doing it gently, sustainably, and with full support. Bone broth, butter, salt, coffee, and tea will carry me through fasting days. Movement, hydration, and emotional awareness will guide the rest. If your body’s asking for a rhythm, a reset, or a fresh start, this blog is your invitation to begin again with clarity, strength, and intention.
