Are you ready to get a jumpstart on 2021 and say goodbye to 2020?
What is one of the best ways to press the “RESET” and “REBOOT” button?
FASTING!
Watch our podcast video here on YouTube
Not necessarily a five-day water only fast… but you could if you are ready for it. BUT we are doing the Kion 5-day fast as a time to press reset and reboot (plus a little detox and recalibration of the body systems – and mindset!)

At Kion, we believe in bio-individuality: that each person’s health needs are unique. The perfect diet, fitness plan, or fasting practice simply doesn’t exist because we all have different genetics, activity levels, health conditions, and more.
In his article on fasting and women, Mark Sisson sums up this dichotomy quite nicely:
“As it stands right now, I’d be inclined to agree that pre-menopausal (and perhaps peri-menopausal) women are more likely to have poor—or at least different—experiences with intermittent fasting (at least as a weight loss tool). That said, it appears to be a potentially gender-neutral therapeutic tool for chemotherapy, cancer, and age-related neurodegeneration patients.”
While the science is limited, from these studies we can at least start to make an argument that women have a different (sometimes more negative) response to fasting than men.
