Are You a Cow?

If not, then please stop this...

Hey friend,

When was the last time you felt real hunger?

Not the kind that creeps in just because there’s a bag of chips next to you while you scroll through Instagram.

Or the kind that shows up when you feel emotional, anxious, and have to eat something to make yourself feel good.

I’m talking about the kind that comes from your cells whispering for nutrients.

Because most people today never feel that kind of hunger as we’re constantly feeding.

Snacks between meals. Meals between snacks.
Coffee breaks, Sugar spikes. Dopamine dips.

We eat like cows in a field—grazing from morning to night.

The food industry has made it normal but normal doesn’t mean natural.

All that constant eating? It’s quietly ruining your body.

It exhausts your gut - slowing digestion and crushing your metabolism.

Dulls your mind - all the carbs and sugar fogging up your brain.

And worst of all, it puts your cells on pause…

Because your body spends all its energy digesting, instead of regenerating.

And over time, this slow burn turns into something serious.

Your body ages faster.

Your energy crashes more often.

Your immune system weakens.

You feel off but don’t know why.

And to undo the damage, your body needs to shift into a powerful state called autophagy.

That’s when your body:

And the easiest way to do it? FASTING.

Here’s how to start:

Begin with a juice fast for a gentle intro
Then move into a water fast: filtered water, electrolytes, maybe some apple cider vinegar
Avoid coffee if you can as it's acidic, but won’t break the fast
When breaking your fast: start with fruit, bone broth, L-glutamine
2 hours later: berries, kefir
Full meal? Avoid mixing fats and carbs. Think: steak and salad
And don’t skip your workouts during refeed… your body’s in prime growth mode

This makes you feel sharper mentally, leaner physically, lighter emotionally, and more in control of yourself.

Stay vital,

Orpheus
