Flow Fasting tracks where you are and guides your fasting practice around it, so you always know the right window for your phase, and why it works.

FIVE PHASES. FIVE DIFFERENT FASTING STRATEGIES. Bleed: Rest and restore. Shorter windows, nourishing breaks. Follicular: Your peak window. Longer fasts, stronger results. Ovulatory: High energy.
