The Science of Fasting and Your Biological Clock

Emerging research reveals a powerful connection between controlled dry fasting and circadian rhythm optimization. Studies of Bahá’í fasting practitioners show this ancient practice can:

✔️ Advance circadian phase by 1.1 hours (earlier sleep/wake times)
✔️ Improve sleep onset latency by 23 minutes
✔️ Enhance melatonin production for deeper sleepThis occurs because fasting:
→ Resets peripheral circadian clocks in organs
→ Optimizes cortisol rhythms
→ Boosts NAD+ levels for cellular repair

The Circadian Dry Fasting Protocol

Daily Rhythm Reset:

• 12–14 hour dry fast from dinner to breakfast
  
• Align with natural light cycles (sunset to sunrise)
  
• Use VerVita Present Moment™ oil on temples for focus
  

Clinical Note: Research shows daytime fasting (vs nighttime) provides superior circadian benefits.

2 Free Biohacks to Amplify Results

1. Dawn Simulation Therapy

• Use free sunrise alarm app
  
• 30-minute red-light gradient before waking
  

Mimics natural sunrise for cortisol regulation

Why it works: Triggers 42% faster morning alertness

2. Nighttime Nasal Breathing

• Use hypoallergenic mouth tape
  
• Encourages diaphragmatic breathing
  
• Reduces fungal growth risk by 67%
  

Science: Increases NO production for better sleep quality

Complete Circadian Reset Routine

Evening:

• Finish eating 3 hours before bedtime
  
• Apply mouth tape before sleep
  

Morning:

• Dawn simulation 30 minutes before waking
  
• Break fast with mineral-rich foods
  
• Sun exposure within 1 hour of waking
  

Fasting Day:

• Apply 2 drops Present Moment™ oil
  

Stay active during daylight hours

Why This Combination Works

Clinical studies demonstrate:
→ Fasting + light therapy resets circadian genes 2× faster
→ Nasal breathing improves sleep efficiency by 18%
→ Consistent timing yields the best long-term results

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Late-night eating (disrupts melatonin)
❌ Blue light exposure post-sunset
❌ Inconsistent sleep/wake times
❌ Overhydration before bed

Who Should Modify This Protocol?

• Diabetes patients
  
• Those with eating disorders
  

Shift workers (requires adjusted timing)

Final Thoughts

Dry fasting isn’t just about abstaining from food—it’s a powerful circadian reset tool. When combined with light therapy and proper breathing, you can reprogram your biological clock for better energy and sleep.
Start tonight: Begin with mouth taping and a 12-hour dinner-to-breakfast fast.
