Dry Fasting Club 2025 Do's and Don'ts

By Yannick Wolfe

Happy New Year! Let this be your year of regaining health and vitality!

Dry Fasting is very powerful. It's got some intense autophagy and intense stem cell regeneration capabilities. But with its power come possible side effects. You should always scale slowly and adjust. Most people come to dry fasting with severe illnesses. Depending on your illness, bloodwork, and reaction to the fasting process, your strategy should change. Here is a list of do's and don'ts that I have come to after discussing dry fasting with hundreds of people. The following do's and don'ts err on the side of caution and include lots of people who have had worsening conditions after a dry fast (over-fasting damage due to condition).

2025 Dry Fasting Do's and Don'ts A two-column card listing key rules: green check column of DOs (build up slowly, proper refeeding, get bloodwork, fix cortisol rhythm) and red X column of DON'Ts (no dry fast before bloodwork, no fasting with low cortisol, never ingest anything during fast, don't over-fast). 2025 GUIDE Dry Fasting Do's and Don'ts ✓ DOs ✓ Build up slowly Start short; add days only after stable results ✓ Learn proper refeeding Breaking the fast incorrectly undoes gains ✓ Get bloodwork first Kidney, liver, thyroid, adrenal baseline required ✓ Fix cortisol rhythm Address circadian timing before extended fasts ✓ Wait 1-2 months between long fasts Give your body time to show improvement ✓ Remove processed food Clean diet amplifies fasting results ✓ Take Potassium and Vitamin C after Replenish key nutrients during refeeding ✓ Women: prepare twice as diligently Hormonal differences demand extra care ✓ Water fast before dry fasting Build a foundation of fasting experience first ✓ Learn daily light movement Gentle activity supports recovery phases ✕ DON'Ts ✕ Skip pre-fast bloodwork Organ issues must be ruled out first ✕ Fast with low cortisol Adrenal insufficiency makes dry fasting dangerous ✕ Fast with elevated rT3 Reverse T3 issues must be resolved first ✕ Ingest anything during the fast Medications included unless medically required ✕ Fast past 5 days with organ issues Address root problems before going longer ✕ Over-fast Stop when you no longer need to fast ✕ Fast with active illness Better strategies exist for acute conditions ✕ Take salt too quickly after Reintroduce sodium gradually during refeeding ✕ Fast with heart or blood issues Diagnosed conditions require medical clearance ✕ Try cancer protocols without research Extensive water fasting experience required first dryfastingclub.com | Always consult a qualified practitioner before extended fasting

  • Do build up to extended fasting slowly

  • Do learn about proper refeeding

  • Do learn why carbs are important for overall health

  • Do learn why ketosis is therapeutic

  • Do measure improvement by giving yourself at least 1-2 months between long fasts (over 3 days)

  • Do remove processed food from the diet

  • Do fix your cortisol circadian rhythm

  • Do learn meditation so you can harness the magic of a dry fast

  • Do take Potassium and Vitamin C after a dry fast

  • Do realize that women need to prepare twice as diligently compared to men

  • Do take bloodwork before a dry fast and two months after one

  • Do take extra precautions for fasting if diabetic (reduce dose significantly)

  • Do dry fast if you have persistent chronic lung issues (miraculous)

  • Do learn about the importance of daily light movement

  • Do dry fast if you have water retention issues (careful if it's from burned-out adrenals/hypothyroidism)

  • Don't dry fast before getting kidney, liver, thyroid, and adrenal bloodwork done

  • Don't dry fast if you have low cortisol issues (salivary cortisol test) due to adrenal insufficiency

  • Don't do extended dry fasting for cancer before extensive research and water fasting experience

  • Don't dry fast if you have elevated rT3

  • Don't dry fast for longer than 5 days without first addressing organ issues

  • Don't dry fast before you've water fasted

  • Don't ingest anything during your dry fast (unless it's required medication, but then you need to analyze if a dry fast is safe for you)

  • Don't take serotonin agonists or mushrooms for at least two weeks after a dry fast (water retention issues)

  • Don't keep fasting when you don't need to (over-fasting)

  • Don't dry fast if you have severe blood, heart, liver, or kidney issues (at least without precautions)

  • Don't dry fast when you have an active illness (there are better strategies)

  • Don't have salt too quickly after a dry fast

  • Don't dry fast if you have any diagnosed heart or blood issues

💡That's it for now. I may be missing a few things that I'll add later. I am still working on the Scorch Protocol and adapting and changing many things, and I highly recommend you get access to it under the Scorch Protocol MIRO BOARD. All other protocols on this site at this point are obsolete and outdated, for informational use only. Of course, they were always for information use only, but at this point, I've rewritten/overwritten them all to certain extents. The link for paid members is below. (once again, if you can't afford it, email me for the access link).

Dry Fasting, Autophagy, and Regeneration: The Real Mechanism

Dry fasting is not just water fasting with the water taken away. Removing water flips on a second, deeper autophagy pathway through hyperosmotic stress, one that water fasting cannot reach. Here is the mechanism, the immune and viral numbers behind it, the stem-cell regeneration that follows, and the honest safety picture.
