The Athos Diet w/ Dr. Pete (Interview)
How Ancient Christian Fasting Can Heal our Families & Society
This week, I had a wonderful interview with Dr. Pete Patitsas! From his background as an ER doctor as well as an Orthodox Christian, he wrote a book called ‘The Athos Diet,’ which he believes can help people heal from their many ailments, both physically and spiritually. Below is a short clip from our interview.
He also believes that if we embrace ‘ancient Christian fasting’ that we can significantly reduce our risk of preventable diseases as well as increase our energy levels to spend more quality time with the ones we love. Below is a trailer for the Athos Diet:
Most importantly, the Athos Diet is a Christ-centered, spiritual experience. It is nothing other than the rhythm of feasting and fasting that Christians practiced for most of church history not only in the Christian East but also in the Christian West. The Athos Diet is Ancient Christian Living. It is the ‘Barrel Aged’ wisdom of the ancient church still offered to us today.
