Fasting: Your Body’s Reset
How your body regenerates during fasting – and how you can support it
Have you ever noticed how clear-headed and energized you feel after a period of fasting? Your body uses this phase for deep cleansing: it breaks down old cells, regenerates from within, and gains new strength. But fasting is far more than simply going without food – it is a natural reset button for your well-being.
The best part? You can specifically support this process – with the right nutrients, high-quality fats, and smart detoxification. This helps your body get the most out of fasting while allowing you to feel good all around.
Why fasting is a gift for your body
Fasting is not a trend – it is an integral part of our biology. Our ancestors did not have food available at all times, and our bodies learned to use periods of fasting rather than suffer from them.
The secret behind this is called autophagy – a natural process in which the body recycles cellular components. Imagine your body doing a spring clean: everything that is old and no longer functional is utilized, remodeled, or disposed of – for more energy, better cellular health, and a strong immune defense.
The benefits of this inner reset:
- More energy & performance – because your body works more efficiently
- Cell protection & anti-aging – damaged structures are renewed
- For healthy cellular function – the body utilizes excess cellular debris and thus supports natural regeneration processes.
But not every type of fasting automatically brings these benefits – it depends on how you fast and how well you support your body in the process.
Fasting: From ancient traditions to modern science
In the past: fasting as a natural part of life
- Fasting was practiced in almost all cultures – whether for religious or health reasons.
- The Greek physician Hippocrates recommended fasting as a remedy for numerous ailments.
- Indigenous peoples were accustomed to going without food for longer periods – their metabolism adapted.
Today: science confirms the effects of fasting
Modern research shows that fasting can do far more than simply save calories. Scientists such as Yoshinori Ohsumi (2016 Nobel Prize winner) have proven that autophagy is a central mechanism for longevity, cellular health, and disease prevention.
Studies show that regular fasting can have positive effects on metabolism.
But how do you fast properly so that the body benefits as much as possible?
In the stillness of fasting, strength renews itself from within.
What happens during fasting?
Autophagy explained simply
For your body, fasting means much more than just taking a break from food intake. As soon as you go without eating for a while, your body activates a true marvel of nature: autophagy.
Autophagy – your body’s own recycling system
Autophagy is a biological self-cleaning process in which old, damaged cellular components are broken down and recycled. This means: broken or non-functional cellular debris disappears, while your body simultaneously builds new, healthy structures.
Scientifically proven:
In 2016, Yoshinori Ohsumi received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on autophagy. He proved that this process plays an important role in cellular health, longevity, natural metabolism, and defense against disease.
The key benefits of autophagy:
- Cell cleansing: Broken cellular components are recycled or broken down.
- Energy optimization: Your body uses its reserves and burns fat more efficiently.
- For healthy cellular function: The body utilizes excess cellular debris.
- Stay young & capable for longer: Autophagy supports cell regeneration and can slow down the aging process.
But be careful: autophagy does not simply happen automatically to its full extent – your body needs the right building blocks to make optimal use of this process. Without targeted support, fasting can even have disadvantages.
In the next section, we’ll look at the mistakes many people make when fasting – and how you can do it properly.
Fasting the right way
The most common mistakes and how to avoid them
Many people unknowingly make mistakes that weaken the positive effects of fasting or even turn them into the opposite:
❌ Too few nutrients:
Without essential amino acids, muscle breakdown can occur.
❌ The wrong fat sources:
Unhealthy fats burden the body instead of supporting it.
❌ Uncontrolled release of harmful substances:
During fasting, stored metabolic residues are released – which is why it makes sense to support the body in a targeted way.
❌ Breaking the fast incorrectly:
Anyone who reaches straight for sugar and processed carbohydrates after fasting risks cravings and blood sugar fluctuations.
How to optimally support your body:
✅ Use essential amino acids:
MyAMINO® protects your muscles and supports cell regeneration.
✅ Include high-quality fats:
Omega-3 fatty acids such as AlgaeDHA promote brain performance and cellular function.
✅ Promote targeted detoxification:
Glutathion comp contains valuable nutrients that accompany natural metabolism.
✅ Break your fast gently:
Nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods support the transition back to food intake.
Our product recommendation: MyAMINO®
When fasting, it is essential to protect your muscle mass, because without targeted nutrient intake, your body may break down muscle protein for energy. MyAMINO® provides eight essential amino acids in pure form and supports muscle maintenance while your body draws on fat reserves.
Maximum muscle protection, effective fat loss!
Because MyAMINO® is almost completely converted into the body’s own protein, your muscles remain intact and your body specifically burns fat for energy. Perfect for anyone who wants to use fasting in a targeted way for their health and body composition.
When you fast, do you want to avoid muscle breakdown? MyAMINO® supplies you with all the essential amino acids your body needs during fasting. By the way: you can consume MyAmino® at any time, whether during the fasting window or at your mealtimes – even if you practice intermittent fasting. It does not stand in the way of good ketosis and autophagy.
Why healthy fats and omega-3 are so important during fasting
Fasting does not only mean giving the body a break from solid food, but also providing it with the right building blocks for optimal cellular function. High-quality fats in particular are crucial, as they not only serve as a source of energy but also support numerous cellular processes.
Fats as an energy source for your brain and metabolism
During fasting, your body changes its energy metabolism. Since no carbohydrates are supplied, it increasingly draws on fat reserves. For this process to run efficiently and healthily, your body needs high-quality fatty acids – above all omega-3 fatty acids.
Why omega-3 is so important
✔ Protection for your brain and your cells:
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a central component of cell membranes in the brain and contributes to mental performance.
✔ For healthy cellular function:
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) helps the body utilize excess cellular debris and support natural regeneration processes.
✔ Omega-3/omega-6 balance:
In the Western diet, many people consume too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 – an imbalance that can promote silent inflammation in the body.
Especially important for vegans and vegetarians
High-quality omega-3 fatty acids are found mainly in fatty fish. Plant sources such as flax, chia, or hemp seeds do contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), but the body can convert only a small portion of it into the active forms DHA and EPA. This means that vegans & vegetarians often have an insufficient omega-3 supply, which can negatively affect cellular health, brain function, and inflammatory processes.
The solution:
AlgaeDHA – the best plant-based omega-3 source from algae oil. Sustainable, high-dose, and directly bioavailable for optimal supply of DHA & EPA.
Detox and gut health: Why fasting alone is not enough
Fasting activates your body’s self-cleaning mode – but what happens to the harmful substances that are released? During fasting, your body not only breaks down old cells, it also releases stored toxins. Without targeted support, this can cause toxins to be deposited in the body again instead of being eliminated.
Why detox and fasting belong together
✔ Release of toxins:
When fat reserves are broken down, the environmental toxins and metabolic waste stored there automatically enter the bloodstream.
✔ Liver and intestines as detoxification organs:
The liver filters harmful substances from the blood, but without support it can become overloaded. The intestines must safely eliminate the dissolved toxins.
✔ Avoiding detox reactions:
Headaches, fatigue, or skin problems during fasting can be signs of insufficient or uncontrolled detoxification.
Targeted support for effective detoxification
To prevent the released harmful substances from burdening the body again, it is important to specifically bind them and eliminate them safely. This is where three key products come into play:
Glutathion comp – support for the liver
Glutathione is one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants and protects the liver from oxidative stress. During fasting, the liver works at full speed to neutralize released toxins. Glutathion comp provides bioavailable glutathione combined with N-acetylcysteine, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, and additional cofactors such as zinc, vitamin B1, B2, and B3 – ideal support for the detoxification process.

PektiCLEAN® – cellular cleansing and heavy metal binding
Not all harmful substances are located only in the intestines – some are deposited in deep layers of tissue or even in the cells themselves. PektiCLEAN® is based on modified apple pectin and binds heavy metals, pesticides, and other environmental toxins already at the cellular level. In this way, it ensures that burdensome substances are released from the tissue and eliminated via the intestines.

ChitosaCLEAN colon – toxin binding in the intestines
To ensure that the toxins eliminated via the liver and lymphatic system are not reabsorbed, effective intestinal binding is essential. ChitosaCLEAN contains high-quality chitosan, which is able to bind heavy metals, environmental toxins, and excess fats and safely eliminate them through the stool.

Fasting is not deprivation, but a reset for your cells.
Practical fasting tips: What you should pay attention to
Fasting is often celebrated as a miracle cure for health and weight loss. But from our perspective, there are some critical aspects that should not be overlooked. Because if the body lacks essential nutrients, fasting can lead to muscle loss, nutrient deficiency, and strain on the metabolism.
Important: fasting is demanding on the body! Therefore, check whether it really makes sense in your current life situation. Factors such as stress levels, age, or health limitations play a major role. We recommend carrying out fasting in consultation with a naturopath or therapist.
Supporting fasting properly – MyAMINO® as an absolute basic
When you fast, you should make sure that your body is still supplied with the most important nutrients:
- Essential amino acids prevent muscle breakdown:
MyAMINO® supplies the body with the eight essential amino acids it needs for cell regeneration and muscle maintenance. - Omega-3 for cell protection:
High-quality omega-3 fatty acids such as AlgaeDHA support the brain and metabolism. - Targeted detoxification instead of toxin backlog:
Fasting releases stored toxins. Without targeted support from Glutathion comp, PektiCLEAN, and ChitosaCLEAN, these cannot be efficiently eliminated.
The better alternative: dr.reinwald metabolic regulation & ketogenic nutrition
Because fasting can place a heavy burden on the body, we prefer a more sustainable approach:
- dr.reinwald metabolic regulation
The metabolic program according to Dr. Heinz Reinwald offers a targeted alternative to classic fasting. It is based on a ketogenic diet combined with high-quality nutrient intake in order to effectively detoxify the body, use fat as an energy source, and maintain muscle mass at the same time. If you would like to delve deeper into the topic, you can read all about it in the book “Healthy, Slim and Fit with the Ketogenic Diet” by Dr. Heinz Reinwald and implement the method in consultation with a therapist. - Ketogenic nutrition & intermittent fasting
The combination of a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting offers many of the benefits of fasting – but without the risks of nutrient deficiency. By specifically supplying the body with high-quality fats, amino acids, and ketogenic nutrients, it can cleanse and regenerate while remaining capable and energetic.
🚫 Important:
Sugar, sugar substitutes, and carbohydrate-rich foods are taboo. Too much fruit and starchy vegetables can also destabilize blood sugar and prevent the desired effect.
Conclusion: Your body can do more when you support it properly
Fasting is a powerful method for the body’s self-cleansing – but only if it is done correctly.
✅ If you fast, do it right – with essential amino acids, high-quality fats, and targeted detoxification.
✅ Even more sustainable: dr.reinwald metabolic regulation or ketogenic nutrition with intermittent fasting as healthy alternatives.
✅ Sugar, sugar substitutes, and carbohydrate-rich foods are taboo – they destabilize the metabolism and prevent fasting success.
With these building blocks, you use fasting and metabolic regulation in the best possible way – for a healthy, high-performing body!
Get the optimal support for your fasting & your metabolic health!
