Fasting for a Healthy Body & Soul—Online

Fasting for a Healthy Body & Soul: Perspectives on an Ancient Tradition. A Facebook Live conversation with Dr. Camino Díaz, Dr. Choeying Phuntsok, Hilde Larsen, Jamyang Oliphant of Rossie, and Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo. Hosted by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

Fasting has become a lifestyle choice among many people concerned about health and longevity, and it’s not just for those watching their weight. A growing body of research reveals many significant health benefits, especially from intermittent fasting, which involves eating only during a limited window of time each day, for example. Joining the conversation are Tibetan doctors (menpa) who value fasting as a key element of their ancient spiritual tradition, as well as Western experts who share their own, unique perspectives on the art and science of fasting. Together, they help us to understand how fasting can contribute to a healthy body and soul.
