There are very few places online that collect information to make your life easier. Between the fasting coaches and retreats, it seems like there's a constant battle not to advertise your 'competitors'. I think this mentality is ridiculous, and I've even been attacked by certain individuals who attempted to take my information down. I'm hoping to help people on their health journeys by making it a little easier. Dry fasting can be a difficult concept to wrap your head around. "Just don't eat or drink water" is the silliest thing I hear from time to time. Fasting is individual, just like health, and you need to collect as much information from multiple sources as possible. I'm sorry that it's not easy, but hopefully the following information can help you a little bit as you navigate this world. If I am missing other sources that you think should be here please send me an email yannick@dryfastingclub.com
Starving to Heal in Siberia
Starving to Heal in Siberia by Michelle Slater is a compelling memoir that chronicles the author's journey to overcome chronic Lyme disease through unconventional means. After exhausting traditional medical treatments with no success, Slater travels to a remote clinic in Siberia to undertake a supervised, extended dry fast. The book delves into her physical and emotional challenges during the fasting period, highlighting how this drastic measure leads to a profound transformation in her health.

Fasting With Trevor
Probably the most legitimate record holder for dry fasting length. There are others who have claimed similar times or longer, but without any proof, whereas Trevor provides many videos and pictures that serve as good evidence that he has indeed dry fasted for extensive lengths. If you are someone who believes they want to push dry fasting boundaries and that their disease requires it - Trevor is someone you should definitely look into.
Jeune Sec - Michel Deladoey
Dry fasting retreats are the fastest way for you to safely jump into extended dry fasts and I highly recommend them to people urgently looking to kick-start their healing journey. I speak some French and definitely enjoy watching Michel's interviews with his recent fasters on youtube.
I know that Svetlana has also tried to demonize Michel as someone who came to Filonov's retreats and stole his knowledge, but I think that that kind of mentality is ridiculous. Michel Deladoey focuses more on a low-carb approach, so the plethora of carnivore advocates would feel more at home with his style vs Filonov's. However, you do need to keep in mind that to rev back the metabolism carbs are usually necessary. But still, knowing that – Chronic illnesses change the playing field. You should understand how to navigate them or talk to someone who understands how to walk the fine line between both therapeutic ketosis and metabolism.
Healthyouniverse - Sergey Filonov
This is where you get to experience a Dr. Filonov-guided dry fasting retreat. Health Youniverse is a brand made by Svetlana to monetize and commercialize the retreats/protocols. Dr. Filonov is the OG grandpa of westernizing dry fasting but I've had some run-ins with Svetlana where she attempted to have my information struck down due to copyright. I have had access to all of Filinov's protocols before, so my information does hold up-to-date Filonov protocols in its knowledge pool when I write. There is an active brainwashing at the retreats to make everyone else seem bad and to force returns only to their retreats. I also have spoken to and worked with/rehabilitated dozens of people who were abandoned by Filonov's team after either not healing or getting worse. Still, it seems that MOST people fare well and have an improvement in their symptoms. (Don't forget that it's usually the most ill that go to retreats, so you're already dealing with a very difficult cohort). The aggressive monetization and bully tactics are annoying but this experience is still worth it and therefore I am obliged to provide free marketing for them here. Dry fasting retreats are the fastest way for you to safely jump into extended dry fasts and I highly recommend them to people urgently looking to kick-start their healing journey.
Ascension Code
Ivanna has some interesting takes. Fruitarian-focused alternative healing, which can be hard to find in the dry fasting space. There are a few others out there, so feel free to send me an email if there's some big ones I should have on here.
A Healthy Alternative
Focused more on alternative medicine with quite a bit of focus on fasting. Dry fasting is discussed from time to time.

Luke Coutinho
Luke wrote a book called Dry Fasting Miracle, however I do not recommend it as a buy. It is a little bit of a fluff piece on short dry fasts (think Ramadan style) so it's not really something most people looking for deeper dry fasting information would find informational. Other than the book, Luke is a great personality and well versed in naturopathic approaches.
Tallis Barker
Tallis has dibs on waterfasting.org and as a doctor of Philosophy and Piano(?) teaching, he has lots of experience in dealing with people and coaching them. A very popular water fasting coach who has also dabbled in dry fasting. One of his specialties (from talking with many people who have worked with him) is a blend of long water fasts with small dry fasts sprinkled throughout them on specific days like the acidotic crisis.

The Scorch Protocol
In my opinion, the most valuable dry fasting information on the internet, haha. The real magic is inside the Scorch Protocol Miro Board (Zoom in zoom out masterpiece) which is a living document. To get access to it, you need to be a paid subscriber and go to the Article "Simplified Scorch 2024" and then scroll to the bottom. Good luck!
