Sinclair & Saxon: "Fasting Changed Everything—Healing, Clarity and Letting Go"

In this eye-opening episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with brothers Sinclair and Saxon, the creators of the documentary Fasting The Healer Within, to uncover the powerful, transformative effects of fasting—beyond just food. From Sinclair’s journey healing a chronic back injury and skin issues, to Saxon’s emotional breakthroughs and mental clarity, the pair share how extended water fasting not only changed their health but shifted their entire perspective on wellbeing. They explain why fasting is more than a detox—it's a reset for body, mind, and soul. We talk about parasite cleanses (yes, really), emotional releases, fasting for women, intermittent fasting myths, and why mindset matters just as much as minerals. Whether you’re curious about doing your first one-day fast or diving deep into a 40-day cleanse, this episode is packed with practical advice, honest storytelling, and a fresh look at what it really means to feel good in your skin.
