April 26, 2025

Ben Azadi takes listeners on an hour-by-hour timeline of what happens inside the body during a 48-hour water fast. From digestion and insulin reduction to autophagy, fat-burning ketosis, stem cell regeneration, and a dopamine reset—this is the ultimate metabolic transformation guide.

⏰ 12–14 Hours:

Complete Digestion → Energy is diverted from digestion to cellular repair

Insulin Drops → Bloating decreases, energy rises

⏰ 16–17 Hours:

Autophagy Begins → Cleans out damaged cells and mitochondria

Mitophagy Kicks In → Optimizes fat-burning and anti-aging

⏰ 20 Hours:

Ketosis Accelerates → Burning body fat, not dietary fat

Mitochondrial Biogenesis → 400% boost in energy production

Metabolism Increases → Burn more calories effortlessly

⏰ 24 Hours:

Intestinal Stem Cell Activation → Gut healing, reduced leaky gut

Surge in Human Growth Hormone

2,000% in men

1,300% in women

⏰ 30 Hours:

BDNF Boosts → Brain-derived neurotrophic factor = brain repair and plasticity

Mitophagy in Brain Cells → Cognitive clarity, less risk of neurodegeneration

⏰ 36 Hours:

Deep Ketosis & Inflammation Drops

Fat Burning Peaks → Even while at rest

⏰ 48 Hours:

Apoptosis → Clearance of zombie cells (senescent cells)

Stem Cell Generation → Tissue regeneration, anti-aging

Dopamine Reset → Less emotional eating, reduced sugar/social media addiction
