Mikey Ferguson hasn’t eaten since December 27th.
Today is February 4th—over a month without food. Yet he’s ripped, energized, and claims he’s reversing aging.
In a recent conversation, the health researcher known as Mikey Breeds shared insights from over 20 years of personal experimentation that challenge everything mainstream fitness teaches about food, energy, and transformation.
His approach isn’t about willpower or deprivation—it’s about understanding what life actually requires to thrive.

Not Fasting—Living Without Hunger
Ferguson refuses to call what he does “fasting.” To him, fasting implies suffering, willpower, and ignoring bodily signals.
Fasting is accompanied with suffering. In what I’m doing, there’s absolutely zero hunger. There’s zero pain. I’m just satiated. I feel good. I have a bunch of energy.
He explains that hunger signals appear when the body lacks specific compounds—amino acids, minerals, or vitamins. Once those needs are fully met, hunger disappears.

Over three years, Ferguson trained his body to hold onto nutrients so efficiently that he now goes 66 days between meals. His secret? Loading every vitamin and mineral into massive, diverse meals when he does eat.
Eating The Alphabet And The Rainbow
When asked what he eats, Ferguson’s answer sounds cryptic: “I eat the alphabet and the rainbow.”
Translation: vitamin A through mineral zinc, plus every color and flavor variation nature offers.
His meals include:
- Multiple types of meat (cow, buffalo, bison, duck, chicken, quail)
- Various eggs (quail, duck, chicken)
- Fish from different water sources (freshwater, cold water, hot water)
- Seafood (tuna, squid, octopus, clams, oysters)
- Seaweed, plants, roots, tubers, bark, leaves
- 20+ types of mushrooms
- Even dirt for mineral content
Between eating periods, he consumes specialty plants ground into powder—not for vitamins, but for beneficial compounds like those promoting night vision or neurogenesis.
Energy From Everything
Ferguson challenges the fundamental assumption that food is the primary energy source.

One misconception that a lot of people make is thinking that food is the only source of energy. Everything gives you energy. Everything is either giving you energy or taking energy from you.
He draws energy from:
- Breathing exercises (sometimes with pure oxygen)
- Sunlight exposure
- Water and coconut juice
- Positive thoughts (which he says energize more than sad ones deplete)
By eliminating energy drains—cooking, cleaning, digesting, stressing—he accumulates so much vitality that he now sleeps only every other day.
I’ll go to sleep every second day. So I’ll stay up today and tomorrow and then tomorrow night I’ll go to bed and I’ll stay up another 2 days.
The Journey From Pain To Power
Ferguson’s unconventional path began with childhood trauma and physical challenges.
Growing up alone from age 7 to 16 while his stepdad worked, he had no parental conditioning—no one telling him what was impossible. This solitude fostered free thinking but also deep loneliness.
He turned to junk food for comfort, reaching nearly 180 pounds by age 11. The weight gain triggered gynecomastia (male breast development), creating a vicious cycle of self-hatred and emotional eating.
I’m unfulfilled because there’s no parents here. I eat. The eating grows breast. The breast makes me more sad. I eat more.
When doctors offered only surgery as a solution, Ferguson felt abandoned by the medical system. He decided to find his own answers.

From Anorexia To Awareness
At 15, Ferguson lost 60 pounds in one month through what he now recognizes as anorexia disguised as “fasting.”
He spent years obsessively working out, eventually injuring both his upper body and Achilles tendon. Bedridden and unable to exercise, he faced a crisis.
That’s when he discovered something profound: he could shape his body with thoughts and energy direction rather than physical exertion.
Once I started putting these emotions of love and gratitude and acceptance toward myself, saying ‘You don’t have to do that. I love you just the way you are,’ I started getting the body that I always wanted.
His chest flattened, abs appeared, definition increased—all while doing nothing physically. His body became his “biggest billboard” for this alternative approach.
Belief As The Foundation
Ferguson credits his lack of aging to one simple factor: he doesn’t believe in aging.
Aging is the result of dying. Aging is the result of making the choice of death consistently. You consistently choose death.
He frames life as binary—every decision is either choosing life or choosing death. Going to the gym out of self-hatred? Death. Eating from a place of love? Life.

The physical signs follow mental choices. Wrinkles, he says, reflect how poorly someone reflects light—a physical manifestation of choosing “darkness” over vitality.
People regularly mistake him for being in his mid-20s despite approaching 40.
The Guide: 200 Pages Of Do’s And Don’ts
Ferguson created a 200-page manual with roughly 800 specific instructions. It’s not a book or fitness plan—it’s an instruction manual for living.
Step one: Harvest energy by removing toxins and constants that drain vitality.
Step two: Let the body heal itself naturally with newfound energy reserves.
Step three: Direct excess energy to create desired reality.

His students report transformations beyond physical appearance:
- Chronic migraines vanishing after 2 weeks
- 30-year constipation resolved
- Cysts disappearing
- Teeth regrowing and repairing
- Gray hair returning to natural color
- Herpes clearing
- Landing million-dollar business deals
- Receiving free houses
I had a woman lose 40 pounds in 2 months. Didn’t change her diet, didn’t work out, didn’t eat anything different, didn’t fast and count calories, just did that one thing.
Remove The Constants
Ferguson’s first instruction is simple but radical: remove everything man-made from your environment.
Chemical compounds, preservatives, EMF radiation, plastics, shampoos, sunscreens—he argues these constants drain energy faster than any technique can replenish it.
It seems that everything that man makes kills itself. Unless things are toxic or poisonous, everything in nature supports man. I’ve never heard of one plant causing cancer.
Fat retention often buffers against environmental toxins. Remove the toxins, and the body releases the protective fat automatically.
Clean air matters more than breathing techniques. Ferguson lives on a private island in Vietnam with minimal pollution and keeps an oxygen tank for pure air when needed.
The Equation For Life
Ferguson distills existence to three components: energy, consciousness, and regeneration.

Everything alive possesses these qualities. Money, family, status—none of these define life itself.
His decision-making filter asks three questions:
- Does this give me more energy?
- Does this help my consciousness?
- Does this support regeneration?
Unless all three answers are yes, he rejects it.
Stress Is An Illusion
For ambitious entrepreneurs drowning in pressure, Ferguson offers an unusual perspective: stress isn’t real.
Stress in itself isn’t real. It’s my perception of it. The moment that I get out of stress, I understand that the stress is an illusion, then it has no power.
He recommends never operating beyond 50% of maximum capacity. Beyond that threshold, bad decisions multiply.
Mentally, stress represents energy that hasn’t been transferred. With enough cognitive capacity to observe thoughts clearly, stress dissolves.

I don’t believe in losing. I don’t believe losing’s real because of what I’m sharing with you here.
He recently talked his way into Vietnam after his visa was denied, spending five hours calmly refusing to accept “no” while government employees insisted he return to Cambodia.
The Meditation Practice
Ferguson’s first meditation technique builds mental stamina before attempting deeper work.
Sit for 5 minutes holding one thought—any thought, even just the word “pencil.” Every time the mind wanders, bring it back.
This isn’t about the thought itself. It’s about developing the focus to eventually “drill to your core”—the place where soul energy filters through desires before manifesting as reality.
Most people waste energy on 40 different mental branches spawning from one thought. Concentration conserves that power.
Choosing Life Every Moment
Ferguson sees every decision as binary: life or death. Sleep or stay awake. Eat or don’t eat. Shower or skip it.

The accumulation of these choices shows up in physical appearance. People who consistently choose life look ageless. Those choosing death look like “zombies” with wrinkled, drained faces.
Life has been calling you and it’s waiting for you, but you just keep choosing death out of fear and insecurity. But the moment you choose life, it’s right there. This stuff happens nearly instantaneously.
Even body odor disappears with true vitality. Ferguson claims his waste produces no unpleasant smell—a sign of zero internal decay.
Beyond Fitness To Efficiency
Ferguson distinguishes between fitness and efficiency. Fitness requires constant maintenance through willpower. Efficiency operates automatically.
Gym environments often work against health: artificial lighting damages eyes, chemical cleaners absorb through skin, rubber mats release phthalates, cologne and body spray pollute air, poor oxygen levels create hazardous conditions.
Faces tell the real story. Muscular people with aging faces reveal internal energy depletion despite external appearance.
Life Is Energy In Motion
Ferguson’s closing message centers on energy stewardship.

Life is energy. The efficiency of how you utilize, direct, and transfer energy is what life is. You are literally the medium at which energy bypasses.
Be a responsible steward of that energy—observe it, direct it efficiently, and everything else follows: money, relationships, health, vitality.
His approach isn’t about selling a system. It’s about awareness that higher ways of living exist beyond mainstream health dogma.
Whether someone buys his guide or not, the message remains: there is a higher way, and it starts with understanding that every choice is either choosing life or choosing death.
