Inspired by longevity and fasting research, The Regeneration Diet is a five-day ketogenic nutrition programme built around real food. Each day, you’ll enjoy three small, carefully planned meals, with recipes and guidance to help you prepare them at home.
The programme is designed around a reduced intake of energy and protein. This approach has been studied for its effects on some of the metabolic pathways involved in fasting.
My interest in fasting and health deepened during my own post-viral recovery. This five day protocol was one part of my approach, alongside acupuncture, supplements, microbiome support, nervous system work, sauna and time in the sun. That experience inspired me to create The Regeneration Diet, with recipes and guidance to help you follow the five-day programme at home.
Research and clinical observation into fasting-supportive nutrition suggests a range of potential benefits:
Research into Dr Valter Longo's fasting-mimicking diet, has explored changes in body weight and reduction in visceral fat and inflammatory markers, improved blood glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity and other markers of metabolic health. Some findings relate to repeated cycles over several months, rather than a single five-day programme. Research into cellular repair including autophagy in humans is still unfolding.
Alongside this research, clients describe feeling clear headed with enhanced mental clarity and focus, more energised and optimistic, less inflammation and an improvement in gut health after the five day reset. Other clients described the five days as a turning point, developing a more mindful approach to eating that continues after the five days.
The Regeneration Diet offers a structured, food-based approach to fasting for people looking to support their long-term health and can be helpful if you are:
- Looking to support your metabolic health and blood sugar regulation
- Interested in the relationship between nutrition, gut health and inflammation
- Ready to refocus on your wellbeing after a period of stress or less nourishing eating
- Looking for a gentle but powerful introduction to fasting
- Recovering from illness, post-viral fatigue
You can purchase The Regeneration Diet to follow at home. The e-book introduces the programme, the research that inspired it, its potential benefits, and practical tips.
Shopping lists, recipes and cooking instructions make planning straightforward, while guidance on what to expect supports you throughout the five days. You’ll also find instructions for breaking the fast on day six and returning to everyday eating, with a copy of my healthy eating cheat sheet to support you beyond the reset.
You can choose the e-book on its own or add a 20-minute consultation with me to discuss your current wellbeing, ask questions and receive personalised guidance.

Michelle Mckenzie’s regeneration diet is nothing short of transformational. I am a long covid sufferer with multiple symptoms including chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches and all improved after I did the fast. Your body has the ability to heal itself, you just need to kickstart that process and this does it in 5 straight days, Once it triggers the healing state everything starts to slot into place. I am now going from strength to strength and it is all down to this glorious catalyst.
BC. The Regeneration Diet
“I tried Michelle’s five-day Regeneration Diet while struggling with long Covid, widespread aches and debilitating brain fog. I doubted I could manage the fast, but the delicious, filling meals made it much easier than expected.
The final day was the hardest, but by day six I woke early feeling full of energy. My brain fog had lifted and my aches had gone—and neither returned. I repeated the programme a couple of months later and found it helpful again. I’ll definitely do it again.”
Karey. The Regeneration Diet
This 5 day fast appealed to me because the usual fasts (without food) felt far too daunting. Michelle’s mini meals were utterly delicious. She is so creative with flavours. Michelle’s warm, grounded energy was perfect too. When I was hungry she gave me the gentle encouragement I needed to keep going. At the end of the 5 days my tummy was flat, I felt light, positive and energised and my body felt strong and alive. I was really proud of myself. Michelle had given me the MOT that my body desperately needed. I cannot recommend this fast highly enough.
SL. The Regeneration Diet
“Michelle immediately puts you at ease, combining genuine interest with knowledge and expertise. Her fasting recipes are delicious, surprisingly filling and full of flavour—we looked forward to each meal for the enjoyment, rather than because we were hungry.
It felt remarkably close to a normal week of eating, and we’ve continued cooking several dishes even when we aren’t fasting. By the end of the week, I was surprised by how much better I felt. Michelle makes the whole experience accessible and enjoyable. We’ll be back!”
GB. The Regeneration Diet
“I came to Michelle feeling bloated, low in energy and unfocused, with poor sleep and menopausal symptoms. Her guidance before the five-day Regeneration Diet and support throughout were invaluable—I felt supported every step of the way.
Michelle prepared all my meals, using fresh, organic ingredients, some home-grown. The food was so tasty it hardly felt like fasting. Afterwards, I felt more alert and focused, my energy improved and my bloating disappeared. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and will be back to repeat the programme.”
Emma. The Regeneration Diet
“Michelle’s five-day Regeneration Diet comes with a clear, simple plan and as much support as you need. The food was delicious and made the whole experience manageable.
By the end, I felt less bloated, more energetic and clearer-headed. My body felt less inflamed, and losing a few pounds was an added bonus. A five-star service—I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
Tasha. The Regeneration Diet
“Every meal was fresh, flavourful and delicious. Eating less was challenging, but having lovely meals to look forward to and Michelle’s advice and encouragement made the five days much easier. The variety and freshness of the food, coupled with Michelle’s experience and wisdom, make this my first choice over other versions I’ve tried.”
