Fasting can be a beautiful spiritual discipline, but when your body feels depleted, your hormones are off, or you’ve walked through trauma and feel worn out from the inside out—it’s hard to keep going. You want to go deeper with God, but your body keeps crying out for help. If that’s where you are, you are not weak… you’re just missing the support you need to fast in a way that brings spiritual and emotional wholeness—not burnout.
In this final episode of the fasting series, we’re having a raw, grace-filled conversation about how to approach fasting from a place of spiritual growth and physical healing. My guest, Lara Frendjian, is a functional health coach and host of the Master Your Metabolism After 40 Podcast. She shares how your body and your spirit are not in conflict—they’re partners. God designed both, and He wants you to experience wholeness, not breakdown.
