The Deming Fast™
A guided fasting program designed to support healing and reconnection with the body’s innate intelligence.
Led by integrative oncologist Dr. Katie Deming, this program combines fasting guidance, metabolic science, and whole-person support so fasting is approached with intelligence, safety, and respect for your unique body.
What makes
The Deming Fast™ Different?
The Deming Fast is a guided healing experience, not a protocol.
It was created by Dr. Katie Deming after more than two decades in medicine, where she learned that lasting healing happens when the body is supported — not forced.
What sets this program apart:
Guided, not DIY
You are supported throughout the fasting process with structure, education, and experienced guidance.
Multidisciplinary support
Participants are guided by a team with expertise in mindset, somatic, emotional, and subconscious healing, alongside a health coach, nutritionist, and chef. Healing is addressed on every level.
Metabolically informed
— before, during, and after the fast
Fasting does not exist in isolation. Preparation, re-feeding, and post-fast nutrition are integral parts of this program. Re-feeding is approached through a metabolically appropriate lens designed to support healing, resilience, and long-term health — not simply a return to eating.
Beyond the fast
You are taught how to rebuild your microbiome and nourish your body in a way that supports ongoing healing and optimal metabolic function.
Whole-person focus
This program honors the physical, emotional, and internal shifts that fasting can bring, offering support that meets you where you are.
Reconnection with the body
At its core, The Deming Fast is about restoring trust in your body’s innate intelligence.
The intention is not just to guide you through a fast —
but to help you carry this way of supporting your body forward.
Who this program is for?
The Deming Fast™ is for people who feel called to heal with intention, discernment, and respect for the body — physically, emotionally, and internally.
This program may be a fit for you if:
- You are navigating cancer, metabolic illness, or chronic disease and want an approach that honors metabolic physiology, not trends
- You are interested in fasting for prevention, resilience, and long-term metabolic health
- You are seeking a guided fasting experience that supports emotional healing, mental clarity, and deeper connection to yourself
- You feel called to slow down, reset, and realign with what truly matters in your life
- You want more than a fast — you want to understand how to rebuild and nourish your body afterward
- You value structure, preparation, and thoughtful re-feeding as much as the fast itself
- You are ready to listen to your body rather than override it
A metabolically appropriate re-feeding approach
Re-feeding is not an afterthought in this program. Participants are guided through a rebuilding phase designed to support metabolic health, healing, and resilience.
Many fasting programs default to plant-based re-feeding approaches that include foods such as lectins, starches, and fruit juices — foods that can be inflammatory or metabolically inappropriate for conditions like cancer and other chronic diseases.
In The Deming Fast™, re-feeding is approached with the same level of care and intention as the fast itself. You are taught how to rebuild your microbiome and nourish your body in a way that supports healing and long-term metabolic health — not just in the days following the fast, but moving forward.
Healing and prevention
While many people come to fasting to support physical healing, others are drawn to the profound emotional, mental, and internal shifts that often occur during a fast. Time and again, participants describe greater clarity, emotional release, spiritual connection, and a deeper sense of alignment with themselves.
This program is also for those who want to be proactive. At a time when cancer and chronic disease are becoming increasingly common, fasting can be a powerful tool to support metabolic health, resilience, and long-term prevention.
This program is not for those looking for a quick fix, extreme protocols, or rigid ideologies.
It is for people who want to engage in healing with presence, responsibility, and care.
The Deming Fast™ is for those who are ready to participate in their healing — thoughtfully, gently, and fully.
