The Power of a 40-Hour Fast during the Easter Triduum

A Thriving Catholic Podcast

Embark on a spiritual and physical renewal with us as we honor the Easter Triduum through a meaningful 40-hour fast, a tradition mirroring Jesus' time in the tomb.
Together, we unpack the historical and spiritual significance of this period, exploring how this ancient practice not only fortifies our faith but also brings a multitude of health benefits.
From autophagy to mental clarity, and the release of growth hormones, fasting is not just a test of willpower but a pathway to rejuvenation for both the body and spirit.
Our journey through fasting reveals a roadmap for preparing your body and soul for this profound experience. We delve into strategies that ensure a smooth fasting experience, emphasizing metabolic flexibility and the surprising ways in which our dietary choices leading up to the fast can impact its effectiveness.
Listen in as we intertwine the physical changes with spiritual enrichment, offering an insightful guide for those seeking to deepen their connection with God through the discipline of fasting.
As my husband and I share our personal commitment to this 40-hour fast tradition, we offer practical tips for navigating an extended fast with ease and the mindful approach to breaking it.
Understanding the importance of hydration, electrolyte balance, and gut health, we provide relatable advice based on our own experiences. For anyone considering an extended fast or simply curious about its impact, our episode provides a balanced discourse on the health and spiritual implications of this time-honored practice.
