A 5-day medically supervised fasting intervention to support healing and reduce pain.
Fasting is used in Dr. Queler’s practice as a short-term metabolic intervention to reduce inflammation, protect muscle, and support the body's natural repair without surgery.

Burn belly fat
Improve symptoms
This is not a diet. It’s a medical intervention.
A 5-day medical and nutritional intervention designed to place the body into a controlled fasting state while protecting essential nutrients and lean tissue. The protocol is informed by the science behind fasting-mimicking diets, which aim to activate key metabolic and cellular repair processes without the risks of complete food deprivation. In Dr. Queler’s practice, this approach is used intentionally and selectively as a short-term therapeutic tool to support healing, not casually or without medical oversight.
We don’t believe pain is an isolated symptom.
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is often driven by inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and impaired tissue repair, all of which can prevent the body from healing effectively. When these underlying factors are not addressed, even the best treatments may fall short.
This 5-day, medically supervised fasting-mimicking intervention is used as a short-term metabolic tool to help reduce inflammation and support the biological processes involved in healing. By temporarily shifting the body into a controlled fasting state, the goal is to create the internal conditions needed for repair, while protecting essential nutrients and lean muscle.
-
Short-term, medically supervised fasting may help reduce systemic inflammation that contributes to joint, tendon, and soft tissue pain. Lowering inflammatory burden can create a more favorable environment for healing and recovery.
-
In some patients, ongoing pain is influenced by underlying metabolic stress rather than structural damage alone. This intervention is used to help improve metabolic efficiency, which may reduce pain that persists despite other treatments.
-
This protocol is designed to induce a fasting state while still providing essential nutrients. The goal is to support metabolic and cellular benefits of fasting while minimizing the loss of lean muscle mass during the short intervention period.
-
By temporarily shifting the body into a controlled fasting state, certain cellular repair and recovery processes may be activated. This can help support the body’s natural ability to repair tissue when used appropriately and under medical supervision.
-
Resetting metabolism refers to improving how the body uses energy and manages inflammation. In a musculoskeletal context, this may support long-term joint and tissue health by reducing metabolic factors that interfere with healing.
A Physician-led Approach to Fasting
Regenerate
This 5-day, medically supervised intervention places the body into a controlled fasting state to support cellular renewal and metabolic efficiency. By reducing inflammatory burden, it helps create the internal conditions needed for regeneration as part of musculoskeletal healing.
Renew
Used intentionally, this approach supports a short-term metabolic reset, not a long-term eating plan. It may help renew how the body responds to inflammation and recovery, allowing healing processes to function more effectively within non-surgical orthopedic care.
Repair
By improving metabolic health and lowering systemic inflammation, this intervention may support tissue repair and recovery. In select cases, creating a more favorable healing environment can also support other non-surgical orthopedic treatments.
