Fasting

A metabolic reset that activates fat burning and cell repair—supports recovery from fructose-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Maximize the Benefits of Your Fast

Fasting works by restoring metabolic balance—but hidden fructose metabolism can silently sabotage your efforts.

Even without sugar, your body can produce fructose internally through the polyol pathway—especially during dehydration, stress, or high salt intake. This can activate fructokinase, disrupt cellular energy, and trigger the very cravings, inflammation, and insulin resistance you're trying to reverse.

SugarShield helps support fasting by addressing the metabolic switch that fructose flips. By helping maintain mitochondrial function and reducing uric acid buildup, it supports a smoother, more effective fast—so you can stay energized and in control.

What is Fasting?

Fasting is the voluntary abstention from food for a period of time. It triggers metabolic adaptations that improve energy efficiency, fat burning, and cellular repair.

Metabolic Benefits

Fasting promotes:
- AMPK activation
- Autophagy (cellular cleanup)
- Insulin sensitivity
- Fat oxidation

It's one of the most powerful natural tools for reversing metabolic damage.

Fasting and Fructose Metabolism

Fasting:
- Suppresses endogenous fructose production (via the polyol pathway)
- Lowers uric acid
- Restores mitochondrial energy

This helps reverse the exact processes that fructose metabolism disrupts.

Pairing with SugarShield

At LIV3, we encourage metabolic tools like fasting to work with our approach. SugarShield helps block fructose metabolism during refeeding and supports energy during fasted states, especially when stress or prior diet might otherwise activate the polyol pathway."

Luteolin is a rare plant flavonoid shown to naturally quiet the fructose pathway—the same metabolic switch targeted by pharmaceutical fructokinase inhibitors. By protecting cellular energy and lowering uric acid and inflammation, it helps restore the stable, high-efficiency metabolism that modern diets have lost.

A new gene therapy has slowed Huntington’s disease progression for the first time — a historic breakthrough. Seen through the energy failure model, it also highlights how metabolic stress like fructose stacks on top of genetic insults, and why research on luteolin is showing promise across multiple neurodegenerative conditions.

Tylenol, Autism Risk, and Fragile Energy: What Does the Science Really Say?

The Tylenol–autism debate shows how easily developing brains can be tipped when cellular energy is fragile. Our research suggests a bigger story: the Fructose Model — a framework showing how daily sugar exposure creates the same low-energy state across the whole body.

The Fructose–Insulin Connection: What Doctors Aren’t Telling You About Weight Loss Resistance

Doctors often blame carbs in general, but that's only part of the story. To really answer what causes insulin resistance, we need to look at fructose. If the engine is the problem, pressing harder on the gas pedal won't help. Instead, the solution is to improve how the cell handles fuel and gradually rebuild insulin sensitivity.
