Here's how the hardest reset on the planet actually works, and how to do it safely.

Theo Lucier has spent over a decade studying dry fasting through his project Forgotten Health and his guided program Dry Fast with Friends. He breaks down why a true dry fast is different from a water fast, how the body burns fat for its own water, the endogenous stem cell release on day 5 and 7, and why the way you exit matters more than the fast itself.

Theo Lucier is a natural health researcher and supplement formulator, founder of Forgotten Health, and co-creator of the Dry Fast with Friends community program with Sean McCormick. After overcoming severe chronic fatigue and 16 years of one-meal-a-day eating, he now focuses on dry fasting for stem cell release, cellular detox, and energy.

• A dry fast turns 100 grams of fat into 115 grams of metabolic water from within
• A water fast breaks down muscle and organ tissue; a dry fast spares lean mass
• A 5-day dry fast triggers one wave of stem cell release, a 7-day triggers two
• The Russian fat-loss method: a 24-hour dry fast plus a 6.2 mile walk, twice a week
• Day 3 is the hardest, when the body switches from glucose to ketone metabolism
• A soft dry fast with hydrogen peroxide baths supports detox better than a hard one
• Dry fasting is one of the few ways to quickly eject deuterium from the mitochondria
• Pre-tox for months first if you carry heavy toxic load
• How you refeed matters more than the fast: no sugar, sip water slowly to avoid edema

Heavy metal detox is the most overlooked driver of fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and low testosterone — and most standard lab panels miss it entirely.

In this episode, toxic burden specialist Kyle Hulbert explains why "normal" blood work can leave you feeling terrible and what actually works to reverse hidden toxicity.

Kyle Hulbert is a wellness and integrative nutrition coach specializing in detoxification, hormones, and root-cause health. After his own decade-long struggle with anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and a testosterone level of 159 at age 21, Kyle discovered that hidden heavy metal toxicity was driving his symptoms. He now runs a clinic model that has helped over 1,500 people in its first year reverse toxic burden, balance hormones, and recover their energy.

• 25 to 30% of the population is dealing with heavy metal toxicity. 60 to 70% with toxins more broadly.
• Standard blood tests are unreliable for heavy metals because metals live in tissues, not blood. A negative blood test does not rule out a burden.
• The provocation test (DMPS or EDTA IV plus an 8-hour urine collection) is the gold standard for measuring heavy metal load.
• Cilantro and most "natural" detoxes cannot bind mercury. Mercury needs a chelator with two thiol bonds: DMPS, DMSA, or alpha lipoic acid.
• 90 percent of people with mold symptoms see those symptoms resolve when their heavy metals come down. Metals form the scaffolding for mold biofilms.
• EBOO filters glyphosate, mold toxins, microplastics, bacteria, and viruses. It increases blood oxygenation by about 35 percent and the effect lasts roughly a week.
• 8,000 daily steps is the research-supported target for lymphatic drainage. 10,000 was a pedometer-marketing number.
• Start at home with water, then food (EWG Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen), then swap household products as you run out.
• Selenium can displace mercury from the brain but only do this while you are actively chelating from the body.
