Fasting with Galapagos Healing has been such an enjoyable experience that I have returned again and again over the years.

The supportive community I become apart of coupled with the educational sessions conducted during the three phases outlined for the fast truly differentiates Galapagos Healing from other fasting opportunities out there.

What was once a test of self discipline through fasting, has turned into a continued journey of self discovery and realignment thanks to Galapagos Healing.

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in my early 20s, and for the next 24 years, I lived in a cycle of medications, flares, and frustration. I saw one gastroenterologist after another. They all told me the same thing: UC is incurable, medication will help manage it, and diet has nothing to do with it. I remember asking physician after physician, desperately at times, if changing what I ate could help. I was always told no.

That answer never sat right with me. How could a disease that affects the digestive system have nothing to do with food?

That disconnect pushed me to do more research and seek answers elsewhere. For decades, I tried everything: keeping a food journal, eliminating certain foods (like gluten, meat, and sodas), eating “healthy,” reducing stress, meditation, you name it. Sometimes things would improve, but I would always end up back in the battle to regain my health.

One day, I found myself hopelessly crying on the bathroom floor, overwhelmed with pain and ready to give up. That’s when I reached out to a friend for recommendations, and he told me to contact his good friend. That’s when I found Coupe.

When I reached out to him, I was in the middle of one of the worst UC flares I’d ever had. I’d lost 20 pounds in just one week. I was weak, in excruciating pain, and dealing with symptoms that were not only physically unbearable but emotionally overwhelming.

I was scared but Coupe wasn’t scared. He was calm, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and from the very beginning, he guided me step by step through my healing journey. I won’t pretend I followed everything perfectly. There were days I slipped up, but even so, my body responded in ways I had never experienced before. I felt better, stronger and hopeful.

The most powerful evidence of my healing outside of what I knew my body was doing was my colonoscopies. The results of my colonoscopies before, during, and after working with Coupe confirmed what I was feeling. My Ulcerative Colitis was completely gone. There is no evidence of the disease in my body. I have been 100% healed since February 2023 and I’m still going strong.

Working with Coupe was the best decision I’ve ever made for my health. His approach is holistic, personalized, and deeply rooted in understanding how the body truly works and heals. My only regret is not having found him sooner.

Thank you! Without your knowledge and expertise, I do not believe my body would have ever healed—and for that I am forever grateful to you.

In January 2023, I was at my wits’ end in a severe UC flare, and you turned all of that on its head in a miraculous way. As you know, once I began following your protocol, I was healed within weeks. It still amazes me!

I pray continual blessings, peace, happiness, health, and abundance for you and your family. I pray that you will continue to educate, motivate, and heal others.

THANK YOU!!!!!! You are truly ‘the man’!

Forever grateful,

I’m Cory a 47 yo male. I began training w/Coupe in Jan ‘22. I was 222lbs had chronic pain in my knees and shoulders. I could barely do 50 pushups and not a single pull-up. And all leg exercises were very minimal due to knee pain/lack of range of motion. By April of ‘22 I was down to 175lbs and in the best shape of my life. Now over 3 years into training I’m doing 220 pull-ups & 220 decline pushups in under an hour. I can do all different leg exercises including distance runs and short sprints pain free. Also must add that my daily life has improved beyond the explanation of words. I’m more awake and energetic. Mentally I’m way more alert, focused and very rarely feel stressed or tired. My sleep has also greatly improved.

After a long battle with my GP, I finally got a blood test after months of feeling ill. Like many, my symptoms were brushed off as anxiety and depression. I was eventually diagnosed with Graves disease. I started the course of medicines to help control my symptoms but soon realised I was allergic to all medicines prescribed. The options I was left with were surgery or RAI, and I wasn't ready for either. I became depressed, anxious, emotional, and alone. I felt like I wasn't in control of, or responsible for, my body or my choices. After hours of crying over the phone to my sister, she suggested I get in touch with Coupe. Well, im so glad that I did. Coupe has changed my life, I've even told him he's saved my life. He listened, he asked, he understood everything that I told him. He made me feel seen, he made me feel safe, and he gave me the opportunity to explore another way of treatment. I chose to explore the option of healing myself naturally. Straight after my consultation, we started working together. Through every step of the way, he guided me. We live in different time zones, but when I say he was there for me 24/7, I would honestly wonder when he slept. With coupes' help, I changed my diet, and I changed the way I was thinking. I started to get back into exercise, and I started to feel lighter and more enegerided as the days webt by. I'd say a couple months into working together, my hormone levels dropped, then went into range. My journey into healing hasnt been linear, I'm still on the journey to recovery, but it's been an incredible journey. A journey that has made me fall in love with myself. A journey that has made me fall in love with life again. A mentor, a life coach, a personal trainer, a brother for life. Thank you, Coupe.

This is my 7th year water fasting with Galapagos Healing. My 5th year fasting consecutively, ‘every fast’ & officially co-hosting the groups with Coupe In that time I have completely transformed, healing the many autoimmune conditions I was suffering; hypothyroidism, Rheumatoid arthritis, early dementia, morbid obesity, severe depression & anxiety topped off with menopause, a large dermoid cyst, several small fibroids, hyperpigmentation, oedema & rapidly ageing.Water fasting has been the final key in my healing journey that has set me free, healing all of those conditions & many more things I never even imagined curable from varicose veins I was born with, moles, emotional shrapnel, body trauma & scars, even my TB vaccine scar. In addition to curbing my consumerism, consumption & addictions to unhealthy behaviours, drinking, smoking, self-soothing & avoiding. I am literally reborn, hence a massive enthusiast of Coupes fasting methods of which, I have collaborated, expanded & stand as an experiential, living, outcome & testimony that this suff works. I am literally a different person, physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally & vibrational.

I continue to water fast because I love the mental clarity, spiritual connection with nature and self. I want to see how far I can go in this glorious journey. It feels like I’ve taken at least 20 years off my clock & at times 30. I’m now excited about how I’ll be in my 60s & 80s. I want others to get this healing too. This is how we make the greatest change on earth, starting with ourselves in the most profound way.

I completed the 5 day water fast in June with Coupe and the fast family, it was an enlightening experience and glad I was fianlly able to join.

I went into the fast focused on food and breaking my addictions and bad habits, knowing that the food I was consuming was harming my body. However, the mental and emotional impact were significant. It highlighted other negative associations and additions not only to food but all relationships including sexual.

Physically, I have felt a huge impact. I came into the fast with skin issues and joint pains. My skin has never felt so hydrated in my adult life, my joint pains completely vanished and a bone which felt out of place in my wrist rectified itself.

I also experienced the best sleep I have had in almost 8 years and my mood had improved vastly, my PMT was nothing like it usually is. I'll be honest, I took it for granted after the fast and fell back into a lot of old habits as I didn't fully address my triggers with how i eat and why i eat the way i do and this has shown and the red flags are creeping back in. My sleep has deteriorated again, the joint pain in one place has come back and my skin is dry again because I have not kept my body hydrated.

There were many a time during the fast I wanted to quit and give up but the support of Coupe, Aunt G and the rest of the fast family helped me to persevere and see it through to the end.
For those looking to heal the mind and body, I would definitely recommend joining the fast family.

I will be embarking on my second fast soon and with Coupe's help setting my intentions for the fast and to stay on the right path, whislt listening to my body and allowing it to guide me!!

I can’t lie, I was apprehensive about taking part in the water fast. I previously considered joining a water fast before and chickened out. This time I was determined to challenge myself and focus on healing my mind and body. Post-fast, I can now say I’m really pleased I did it. Not only have the physical benefits been immediately noticeable (long-term cough and knee pain both practically gone) but the mental benefits of being able to exercise control over my unhealthy eating and cravings means I feel empowered. The group support was invaluable as well as being able to contact Coupe to ask for guidance and a boost in those weak moments. I definitely will be doing more water fasts going forward and will try to eat plant-based as much as possible.

5 day Fast experience

This was my first day fast within the group. I used visualisation and split the fast into 10x12 hour stages and imagined I was a cyclist in the Tour De France riding for Team Coupe. Here are my thoughts with how it went. Day 1 (Wed 1330) was a breeze. I focused on keeping busy, put gym on hold and focused on deep breathing. Day 2 similar to Day 1. On Day 3 ( Friday) had first sign of light headedness and low energy. I rested with 40 winks and that lifted me. The group chat lifted me too with fun and serious messages of support from the family, Aunt G and Coupe. Day 4 similar start of low energy so took longer to gather myself. Slowed down to the point of closing eyes and imagining myself with the yellow jersey in the TDF. Day 5 no symptoms and the feeling of elation was within reach. Also turned for inspiration from the fam chat and it worked. Monday at 1330 broke the fast and 120 hours later and 3.6kg lighter - the magic was there for all to see. The first sip of coconut water was heavenly.

I do view myself in a different vein i.e. positively, both mentally and physically. I think this experience has shifted me to think more about what I put in my body going forward. So there has been a shift in thinking in my understanding of food.

My takeaway is this : Don’t just read about it. Get Up , Dress Up and Show Up and do the experiment and the magic will happen.

I approached Coupe with a PCOS diagnosis as I was desperately trying to conceive again, after losing my first baby at 17weeks. I explained that Gynaecologists had told me it would be unlikely that I’d conceive naturally, so when I fell pregnant and lost that baby I believed them for a while… until I met coupe! I will never forget my first consultation with him, between the tears, he listened so attentively to all my fears and worries, my symptoms and history. So when he said to me “we can fix this”. I believed him! I followed every single piece of guidance and wisdom he offered. He then invited me to join a water fasting group he was hosting and I did a 5 day water detox. Almost immediately my symptoms disappeared, it felt like a completely body overhaul and i fell pregnant the very next month! He was one of the first people I told, without him i would have taken unnecessary medical intervention and damaged my body further. My son is nearly 6 and I still turn to Coupe for any health advice. Forever grateful for the real OG Doc.
