Also, a drug free option is intermittent water fasting for 6 consecutive days a month. [Disclaimer: do your own research, consult a doctor, blah blah]

  6 days a month!? Even if an RCT comes out proving this works, I’d prefer to die a little sooner rather than do that my whole life lol The way I see it, you’re burning something like (6/30)/2 = 10% of your quality-adjusted life years. Fasting had better increase lifespan by 7-8 years to be even close to worth it

    You really can do it in much smaller amounts.

  2 days per week I do a coffee and beer only fast. I can guarantee no toxins survive the resulting torrent. I like to know I'm starting the week with a totally blank slate.

    Don't you destroy your toilet as well? I often fast with (nowadays decaffeinated) tea and coffee, but I can't imagine adding beer to the mix.

      Not necessarily my toilet.

  I practice IF as well, but I suspect it won't regenerate my thymus.
