In this powerful companion episode, I break down the deeper physiological realities behind my 10-day water fast and explore what truly happens inside the body when food is removed and the body’s repair systems activate.

Rather than focusing purely on the timeline of the fast, this episode dives into the biological mechanisms that make water fasting such a profound tool for restoration and recalibration. I explain how autophagy — the body’s cellular cleanup and recycling system — becomes elevated during extended fasting, allowing damaged cells, dysfunctional proteins, and metabolic waste to be broken down and repurposed. I explore how the body shifts from glucose dependence into fat-burning mode, entering ketosis and using stored fat as a primary fuel source while producing ketones that also influence brain function and inflammation pathways.

You’ll learn how water fasting may contribute to reduced systemic inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced metabolic flexibility, and a reset in hunger signaling. I also discuss the significant rise in human growth hormone (HGH) that can occur during prolonged fasting, supporting tissue repair, muscle preservation, and fat metabolism. Additional insights include improved mitochondrial efficiency, immune system modulation, hormonal rebalancing, and the role fasting plays in mobilizing deeper healing processes within the body.

Beyond the physical, this episode explores how fasting influences the nervous system, perception, and emotional processing — revealing how stillness, discipline, and restraint can unlock clarity, focus, and self-awareness that often remain buried beneath constant stimulation and productivity.

This episode is ideal for anyone curious about the physiological functions behind fasting, interested in metabolic health optimization, or seeking a grounded understanding of how the body regenerates under conditions of intentional rest and recalibration.

What does it take to transform your health, rebuild your body, and find clarity in a world full of conflicting messages about wellness? In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, I sit down with Eli Martyr—professional stuntman, motion capture athlete, and creator of the Free Melon Society—to explore how he overcame a lifetime of allergies, asthma, and autoimmune struggles through radical lifestyle changes, plant-based nutrition, and a deeper understanding of natural law.

Eli’s story is extraordinary. You may have seen him in blockbuster films like Pacific Rim, War for the Planet of the Apes, and X-Men: Apocalypse, or inside popular video game franchises such as Assassin’s Creed. But behind the action scenes was someone battling constant health frustrations—chronic sinusitis, skin issues, and respiratory problems that conventional answers never resolved. His journey toward regeneration began with a simple realization: nature never designed human beings to live sick and dependent on stimulants and medications.

In this conversation, Eli and I trace his shift from frustration to empowerment. We talk about the moment he saw through “normal” conditions like allergies and questioned why other creatures thrived without them. We explore how his background in athletics built discipline and gave him the mindset to approach health as a skill to be mastered, not a lottery of genetics. And we get into the bold choices he made: eliminating dairy and meat overnight, transitioning into raw, alkalizing foods, and embracing fasting and natural hygiene principles from early pioneers in the 19th and 20th centuries.

But this isn’t just about food. Eli dives into philosophy, causality, and what he calls “Pythagorean morality”—the idea that just as physics has unbreakable laws, so do health and ethics. He reframes processed foods as “food-drugs,” addictive substances engineered to hijack the human palate, and explains why most of what passes for normal eating is closer to chemical dependency than nourishment.

What makes Eli especially compelling is the way he connects these ideas to his life as a stunt performer. Long days on set and grueling motion-capture weeks require peak stamina, rapid recovery, and mental clarity. While most colleagues rely on coffee, painkillers, or energy drinks, Eli thrives without them—what he calls the “perks” of living in alignment with natural law. Clean energy, deeper recovery, and the ability to perform at a high level well into his forties are the results of years of discipline and alignment.

For anyone listening—whether you’re an athlete, parent, professional, or simply curious about a healthier path—this episode offers practical wisdom. It’s about more than diet; it’s about cultivating reverence for the body, listening to common sense, and choosing to live in harmony with nature. Eli’s story shows that healing isn’t just possible—it’s the natural outcome of removing obstacles, respecting biology, and trusting the laws that govern life.

We also preview Eli’s upcoming appearance at the Texas Fruit Festival in Austin, where he’ll be teaching strength development rooted in physiological law. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your workouts more effective, how to find sustainable energy, or how to build resilience in body and mind, this conversation is your invitation to explore.

In this interview, I sit down with Don Bennett (Health101.org) to break down the crucial difference between misinformation and disinformation, especially as it applies to the raw vegan and plant-based health communities. We discuss how to spot misleading voices in the health space, why well-meaning educators can still be dangerously wrong, and what drives some influencers to knowingly share false information.

Don reveals the subtle (but powerful) difference between someone simply being misinformed vs. someone actively spreading disinformation for personal or financial gain. This is more than just semantics—it can make the difference between a sustainable health journey and long-term failure.

This conversation also exposes the darker side of the raw vegan movement, where some educators refuse to change their message even after being presented with evidence. We talk about why this happens, how to protect yourself from being misled, and how to vet the educators you follow—especially when it comes to guidance about nutritional supplements, vitamin deficiencies, and long-term detox programs.

Whether you’re navigating the raw food lifestyle, vegan nutrition, or holistic healing, this episode will give you the tools to be more discerning, more empowered, and more informed.

Don also shares personal stories of confronting false health teachings and how he’s chosen to call out misinformation—even when it’s unpopular. His commitment to truth in health education is a refreshing and powerful message for anyone on a healing path.

Topics we cover include:
– What is disinformation vs. misinformation in the health world?
– The risks of trusting unverified influencers
– Common raw vegan myths that can backfire over time
– Why some educators dig in even when proven wrong
– Don’s philosophy on being teachable and updating beliefs
– How to identify reputable teachers in detox and plant-based health

This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in detox, natural healing, or raw food diets, especially those who’ve encountered conflicting advice online and want clarity.

This episode is part of a larger discussion around raw vegan nutrition, plant-based healing, and the ethics of health education. If you’ve ever wondered who to trust when it comes to detoxification, vitamin D, B12, iodine, or green powders, this talk gives you the tools to ask the right questions and choose wisely.

Demystifying the Female Cycle — And Why It Matters for Everyone

In this powerful episode, Lexi Mondot — also known as The Cycle Witch — dives deep into what most of us were never taught: the menstrual cycle is a blueprint for personal power and spiritual awakening.

Lexi explains how cycle awareness isn’t just a wellness trend — it’s a return to ancient womb wisdom that’s been systematically suppressed. This isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about reclaiming a connection to your body, intuition, and creativity by syncing with the four natural phases of the cycle: menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal — or winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Whether you menstruate or not, understanding this rhythm offers profound insight into how energy, emotion, and creativity naturally rise and fall — and how working with that wave, not against it, leads to healing.

• Why PMS isn’t normal — it’s common, but a symptom of ignoring the body’s natural rhythm
• How understanding your cycle can unlock energy, intuition, and creativity
• Why the womb is a spiritual portal, not just a biological organ
• The impact of hormonal birth control and why many aren’t informed of the side effects
• What cycle syncing actually looks like — and how to align your work, rest, and goals with your body
• How men and all genders can benefit from understanding cyclical energy
• Why rest and “inner winter” are not laziness, but sacred necessity
• How reconnecting to cycles leads to regeneration — both personal and planetary

Lexi introduces the concept of c*nt-topia — a movement toward reclaiming the power and dignity of feminine wisdom and embodiment. She invites people of all genders to move beyond patriarchal productivity models and back into flow with the Earth, the moon, and their inner world.

Cycle awareness, she says, is only 20% mechanics — and 80% unlearning the shame, perfectionism, and self-betrayal that’s been wired into people socialized as female. When that conditioning dissolves, what emerges is not just better health — but sovereignty, self-trust, and purpose.

In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, I sit down with Dr. Sam, a former medical doctor who walked away from conventional medicine to pursue true healing through nature. After years in hospitals and clinics, Dr. Sam faced a personal health collapse—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That turning point launched him into the world of detox, raw foods, emotional processing, and deep nervous system repair.

We dive into how modern medicine often misses the root causes of illness—trauma, stress, emotional suppression—and how aligning with nature’s rhythm can unlock real regeneration. Dr. Sam shares what it took to let go of his ego identity as a doctor and embrace a healing path grounded in simplicity, presence, and intuition.

From the power of fruit and fasting to breathwork and solitude, Dr. Sam offers wisdom for anyone feeling burnt out, disillusioned with the system, or simply ready to feel alive again. He explains how chronic illness often stems from disconnection—disconnection from ourselves, from our food, and from silence. Healing begins when we slow down and listen.

This episode is for anyone seeking a more intuitive, spiritually connected, and regenerative path to wellness. Dr. Sam’s story is a powerful reminder that true health doesn’t come from credentials—it comes from courage, truth, and trust in the body’s ability to heal.
