Georges St-Pierre tried fasting on a friend’s advice.
After a 72-hour water fast, his ulcerative colitis symptoms dropped dramatically. Nagging injuries and inflammation vanished, even a stubborn Achilles tendon issue healed.
He now does four fasts a year.
Fasting triggers autophagy, where the body clears damaged cells and reduces inflammation, which can help with autoimmune conditions and injury recovery.
A surprising recovery story from one of the greatest fighters ever.
