The Hey Road
I am Dr. Daniel Hey, the host of The Hey Road, a unique podcast discussing various issues as I see them through a “medical” lens of over 20 years of experience. Through interviews with experts as well as my own commentary, we’ll explore wherever the road of inquiry takes us: the medical profession, the nature of healing, mindfulness, faith, finances, ethics, personal development and wherever else you—our diverse listening audience—want to travel. So… let’s begin!

Episode 6
Dr. Daniel Hey shares about the practice of fasting i.e. intermittent fasting, 24-hour fasts, fasting from screen time, food, etc. We live in a culture that tells us, “If you have an impulse, you need to immediately satisfy that impulse!” Fasting is a kind of truly healthy “discomfort” that teaches us to not be controlled by our impulses. Dr. Hey further shares about delayed gratification and the very interesting medical arguments promoting it by way of fasting. Learning to cope and manage desires, impulses, addictions promotes a kind of long-term health, wellness, and wholeness that really cannot be attained otherwise.
