Fasting Space

If you are trying to practice fasting for weight loss or other reasons you have probably notices something pretty quickly: People are eating all the time! In a consumption culture there is an assumption that people eat, and this can create awkward social dynamics for those who chose to decline, even for a short time! Do you encounter "Food Peer Pressure" in your life? Come share your story and let...

It goes without saying that a weight loss path is a struggle for many. I am not here to sugar coat anything, hype anything or tell you it is easy. But the goal is to "make it as easy as possible." To stop struggling to the greatest extent possible and still get the results you want. Today I am diving in on chapter 7 of atomic habits which is titled "The Secret to Self-Control." The secret will be...

On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. One profound way we can respect that gift is by living intentionally and taking care of the health and bodies we've been blessed with. In this special live stream reflection, we’re digging into what it means to fast with true purpose. Thank you for being part of this community. Please rememb...

We are on a path toward weight loss and better health. This is a cause that is wholesome and positive. It is worth the struggle and difficulty that comes with learning something new, stretching ourselves in new ways and overcoming barriers that turn most people away. We have our eyes on the prize and every small victory becomes fuel that feeds our progress. One day at a time. In Health, -Phil Zimm...

Are you tired of being at war with your calculator? Most weight loss advice treats your body like a math problem to be solved, but what if the real "treasure" isn't at the end of a calculation... what if it’s already inside you? In today’s live session, we’re stepping away from the macros and diving into the heart. Using the timeless wisdom of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, we’ll explore how to sto...

Does your weight loss journey feel like a constant battle? In today’s live session, we’re stepping away from the scale to look at "The Fasting Heart." Fasting is a physical discipline, but it’s often our emotional hunger—our grief, our regrets, and our old pains—that surfaces when we stop using food as a shield. If you've been "fighting" your body to see a lower number, this session is an invitati...

What if your weight loss journey was actually a secret act of care and compassion for the world? In today's stream, we’re diving into the "Tread Lightly" philosophy. We often focus on fasting to fix our waistlines, but we rarely talk about how it benefits the planet and all living things. By reducing our "cargo" and optimizing our metabolic demand, we’re becoming more efficient inhabitants of Eart...

Have you ever found yourself "white-knuckling" a fasting space or any other health practice, only to let a stressful day send you straight to the pantry? If you feel like you’re constantly fighting your own hunger, it might not be a lack of willpower. It might be a heart that needs healing. In today’s live session we’re shifting the focus away from the numbers on the scale and looking at the emoti...

Is your mind racing toward your next meal or stuck on yesterday’s difficulties? Fasting, like any health practice, is as much a mental game as a physical one. When we feel anxiety, we are living in the future. When we feel discouragement, we are living in the past. But the body and its sensations only exist in the present. In this live session, we are using 'Sensation Meditation' to ground ourselv...

Fasting is minimalism for the body. In this session, we explore why subtraction is the fastest path to health.

Fasting space can be simple, in theory and practice. You can open up some food free space, decrease the meal frequency. Maybe that's all it is and it leads on a path toward weight loss and wellness. But there is a deeper level. Fasting sits at the intersection of body, mind and spirit. In that realm we encounter forces like gratitude, compassion, love and forgiveness. Today we look especially at f...

It's hard to make it very far in life without getting wounded. So many times the body heals, at least on the outside, but the internal emotional wounds remain. At the root of many of the maladies we face is a wound that can be deeper than we appreciate. We cope with the wound without resolving it. Many times behaviors that we consider innocent enough are serving the wound rather than our goals. Th...

Are you on a journey toward better health? Are you aware of an inner knowledge, perhaps telling you that you already know the thing you need to do? Sometimes an inner guidance system whispers, sometimes it screams. We should build awareness to listen. We will get a great perspective from "The Mountain is You."

Fasting space is about opening up to the ability of the body to heal in both body, mind and spirit. If we only get out of our own way.

We place a lot of emphasis on the path forward, and this can be good. But many times the key to unlocking future success comes from effectively dealing with the past.

This session is going to focus on the role that fear plays on our health and weight loss journey. Sometimes we can be acting out of fear and not even know it. When we are fearing something we end up giving it power. This is a process that can actually drive the opposite of what we want! Lets build courage and overcome fear together as we overcome the obstacles holding us back. In Health, -Phil Zim...

In Health, -Phil Zimmermann,...

There are many common types of experiences that "trigger" us into unhealthy patterns or behaviors. We tend to look at these triggers as problems in and of themselves. The real unlock is to realize that the triggers are actually clues to the things we really want in life. When we take triggering emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, embarrassment, jealousy, resentment and regret to a much deeper lev...
