Hi, I’m Christy.
I’m the founder of Fasting in Paradise, and a lifelong student of the human body, healing, and what it really means to feel well.
My path here hasn’t been linear. It’s been a winding trail of trial and error, medical curveballs, and the kind of self-research that comes from both curiosity and necessity. I’ve dealt with migraines, genetic mutations, sluggish digestion, surgeries that shifted everything, and hormonal transitions that no one prepares you for. Each season of struggle pushed me deeper into learning—into functional medicine, epigenetics, detoxification, and the nuances of how different inputs (and stressors) shape our health.
Through all of it, one thing has remained clear: the body is designed to heal. But it can’t do that when it’s overwhelmed, undernourished, or out of sync. That’s where Fasting in Paradise began—a place for women to step away from the noise and come home to their biology.
I don’t believe in wellness fads, rigid rules, or one-size-fits-all fixes. I believe in research. In nuance. In learning how to listen to your body again. And in honoring that what worked for you last year—or last week—may not serve you today.
Everything I share—from our retreats to the blog posts to the downloadable guides—is rooted in that philosophy. I do the deep digging so you don’t have to. I look under the label, past the buzzwords, and into the science—then translate it into something clear, calm, and usable.
This is about more than fasting. It’s about removing the overwhelm and reclaiming your energy, clarity, and connection to what actually matters.
Welcome to the journey.
Every Body is Different: The Importance of Bioindividuality
Every body is different — literally. All the beautiful things that make each of us unique - our age, biology, living situation, past experiences, etc —mean that what works for one woman might not work for all.
Because of this, the tips and tools I share are meant to inspire change in a way that feels right to you — not prescribe.
The suggestions shared here are rooted in the wisdom of scientists, experts, and physicians whose insights have helped me on my wellness journey, but they are just that: suggestions.
Exactly how much, how often, when, and whether you apply them depends on your own physiology, life context, and health goals. Your needs can and do shift with your biology, stress levels, and your season of life. The image of the woman’s silhouette is a reminder of that. When you see it on my website and social media, remember that these are insights and not rigid rules to follow. Always honor your own inner signals.
