In this episode I discuss the overarching themes mentioned in this series and emphasize the importance of leveraging fasting as a practice and a discipline rather than a one time solution for neurological injury and agitation. I also discuss the roles of rest and training the brain out of old habits that can persist even after the benefits of a fast and resting.

In this Episode I discuss my thoughts on healthy activity while trying to recover from Psychiatric injury and Chronic illness.

In this episode I discuss what I have learned about eating when you are trying to recover from a chronic neurological injury like TMS injury, ECT, Psychiatric drugs, CFS and others. We spend every day eating which makes understanding what we eat and how we eat an essential aspect of our improvement. I discuss how to decide what to eat when eating with some basic simple principles that I have found far more effective and powerful than all the specificity of diets out there. Then I move on to discuss different aspects and methods of fasting and some of what should be considered.Finally I discuss in short but decisive measure that we must change the way we think about food for these methods to be effective. Fasting has been shown to shorten and eliminate withdrawal syndromes.Prolonged water fasting is not recommended if you are on most medications. It may be quite effective to withdraw from a drug and then fast after to eliminate the impact of any withdrawal syndromes. There is not much literature available on this method.
