I sat down with Ian to unpack his first DR48 Advanced challenge, how he dropped 34 pounds in five weeks, crushed fake hunger, slept like a baby, and even saw psoriasis calm down. We break down why prep week matters, why dry fasting felt easiest, how breathwork kills cravings, and the simple tools that make the process seamless.
What you’ll learn
• The DR48 cadence and why dry days drive big drops
• How to tell thirst, cravings, and true hunger apart
• Ketosis by day 3 and why sleep quality skyrockets during fasting
• The role of journaling, breathwork, and smart tools for a smooth experience
