Our Prolon coaches share how you can make 2026 your healthiest year yet with the ultimate group reset fasting experience.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to prioritize your health and set the tone for the months ahead. While many focus on resolutions, few consider the transformative benefits of starting the year with a fast.

Fasting in the new year isn’t just about shedding holiday weight—it’s about recalibrating your system and jumpstarting your health journey for the duration of the year. But if starting the year with a fast feels a little daunting, you’re not alone. In fact, there’s an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful difference in their health, just like you. This is what makes group fasting so powerful.

Tailored to your success, our Prolon coach-led group fasts are committed to providing a fasting experience that is so motivating, you’ll be inspired to maintain your longevity lifestyle habits all year round. We caught up with Prolon coaches Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN; Cynthia Sass, MPH, MA, RDN, CSSD, best-selling author and plant-based sports performance nutrition expert; and Audrey Zona, certified eating psychology coach, to learn what makes our group fasting program unlike anything you’ve tried before.

Here’s what our coaches had to share:

Why take part in a group reset at the start of the year?

KK: Getting Prolon on your calendar at the start of the new year is a great way to jumpstart longevity and healthspan goals. It also starts the year with a reset – allowing sugar, refined grains, alcohol, etc. to all take a back seat for five glorious fasting days (and hopefully more)! Studies show that resolutions that are too general (such as, “I want to lose weight,” or, “I want to be healthy”) are often the first to fail. Prolon lays out specifics each and every day, you know what you are getting and how much. This structure can help with devising more specific why’s for 2026 beyond Prolon.

AZ: After a super indulgent season, most people are looking for a way to reset and this program is truly the best one out there! What I love about Prolon is that it’s not a quick fix like so many other crazy diets out there. Prolon works on such a deep cellular level and even though you’ll have amazing weight loss results, it simultaneously helps you to kickstart a healthy eating plan. What makes the group fasting experience so unique?

Why not just do the 5-Day Program on your own?

AZ: Taking part in a group fast is incredibly supportive, inspiring, and exciting! Having now coached for almost four years, my participants tell me over and over that they couldn’t do it on their own, but when joining the daily coaching sessions, they felt like they were a part of something so much larger AND they were finally able to complete the fast. The support and encouragement from the group, along with my cheering them on, makes all the difference in the world. Other notable benefits: Participants sharing their past experiences with Prolon and helpful info like meditation apps, healthy foods, etc. – they are quite active in the chat!

CS: The group provides a tremendous amount of support. It's particularly helpful for first timers who may be feeling overwhelmed. A huge benefit is being able to ask questions, but the information we present often covers questions many participants have and can help prevent common missteps. The groups are chock full of information about the science behind Prolon, including concepts that can be confusing, like nutrient sensing pathways and autophagy. As participants learn more about how Prolon works, they often feel more empowered.

How do you help keep participants motivated during all 5 days of the fast?

AZ: I feel like I’m their biggest cheerleader! Yes, I share the science of what’s going on internally, how the fast works, explaining autophagy, etc, but what most are looking for is comfort, warmth, handholding, inspiration and motivation. My personality is such that I’m very warm with them, I make them feel like we are friends and I’m here to hold their hand through the process. I go through the presentation, but then I really “listen” to them, meet them where they are at and assure them that they will be ok.

CS: We celebrate each other's successes, bond over topics like shared "whys" and favorite Prolon foods and laugh about humorous situations – from weird food-related dreams to the agony of missing out on a bit of soup that spilled. The groups educate, empower, and support participants, cultivate community, and enhance the overall experience.
