In this eye-opening episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down once again with Chirag Davi, a storyteller and truth-seeker, to explore the deeper wisdom of Ekadashi fasting—a bi-monthly, moon-aligned spiritual practice that invites ongoing clarity, energy renewal, and deeper connection to the body.
While many of us approach fasting as a seasonal or religious ritual—like the Baha’i Fast or Ramadan—this episode explores what it means to live the fast, to carry the benefits beyond the 19 or 30 days, and to align ourselves with the moon’s natural rhythm.
Fasting is often misunderstood as extreme or unsustainable—but what if it was the most gentle, intelligent thing you could do for your body?
In This Episode, We Explore:
🔹 What happens inside the body after 8.1 hours of fasting (when the magic begins)
🔹 How the body shifts from glucose to fat-burning—and unlocks the “treasure box”
🔹 Why the 16–24 hour fasting window is key for deep healing and immune regeneration
🔹 How T-cells and B-cells are produced in starvation mode—and why this matters for long-term health and disease prevention
🔹 Why Ekadashi—fasting on the 11th day after each new and full moon—offers a sacred, accessible rhythm to fast all year
🔹 The deeper why of fasting: presence, clarity, devotion, and embodied awareness
🔹 What most people get wrong about the Baha’i Fast—and how to bring intention to your fast, no matter your faith
🔹 How to make fasting livable, especially for women and modern rhythms
Chirag brings deep reverence and grounded wisdom, sharing fasting insights that blend science, soul, and practicality. His gentle storytelling invites you to view fasting not as deprivation, but as a form of preventive maintenance—a sacred pause for your body and spirit.

Why This Conversation Matters
We often treat fasting like a challenge to conquer or a seasonal duty to check off. But this conversation shifts that mindset completely. Fasting, when aligned with the moon and practiced with intention, can become a healing rhythm—a way of living with more clarity, energy, and spiritual connection.
If you’ve ever felt curious about fasting but unsure how to approach it, or if you’ve done the Baha’i Fast or Ramadan but wished you could carry that clarity into the rest of the year—this episode is your guide.
