Why I Fast & Exactly How I Do It  @JasonQuinnZen
Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
I received a lot of questions and interest about fasting in my last video. So in this video, I share why I fast and exactly how I do it鈥攊ncluding my intermittent fasting routine, 42-hour fasts, and occasional longer fasts. I didn't realize this video would be so long, so I've broken it up into chapters. Feel free to jump to the sections that are most relevant to you.
