Podcasts about Autophagy

Neil steps away from traditional business tactics to focus on the essential foundation of any successful venture: the health and well-being of the entrepreneur. He explores the concept of ‘The Fasting Miracle', specifically focusing on water fasting and its transformative effects on the body and mind. He breaks down the biological processes that occur during various stages of fasting, from the initial fed state to deep cellular repair and regeneration. By sharing his personal 21-day fasting experience and detailing the scientifically supported benefits, such as increased mental clarity, fat loss, and immune system rebooting, Neil provides a compelling case for fasting as a no-cost tool for tutors and coaches to optimise their performance and longevity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Maintaining good health is a critical business issue because it forms the foundation for everything a business owner does. Fasting triggers natural mechanisms like lipolysis (fat burning) and ketosis, where the body switches from burning glucose to burning stored fat and ketones for cleaner, steadier energy. Between 20 to 24 hours of fasting, the body initiates autophagy - a "self-eating" process where damaged cells and proteins are recycled into useful materials, reducing inflammation and the risk of degenerative diseases. Extended fasting (72+ hours) can eliminate old white blood cells and stimulate stem cell production to create a new, more efficient immune system. BEST MOMENTS "Health is the foundation on which everything we do is built. So staying healthy is a business issue." "Fasting isn't some brand new trendy fufu-dufu woo-woo fad. People have been doing it for centuries." "Autophagy is cellular cleanup and repair. The damaged proteins and organelles that are flapping around your body are broken down and recycled into useful stuff." "BDNF supports brain health and cognitive function. I've heard BDNF often called miracle grow for the brain, and that's what it does." "The longer I fasted, the better I felt. My mental sharpness increased like it's hard to explain. I just got sharper, faster."

Most conversations about longevity focus on tactics. This episode breaks down the biology underneath them. You'll hear a systems level analysis of how insulin signaling, mTOR, mitochondrial function, inflammation, and nutrient sensing interact to determine biological age, disease risk, and long term human performance. This is not surface level biohacking. It is a deep dive into the mechanisms that actually control aging, metabolism, muscle preservation, and brain optimization, and why most anti aging strategies fail when they ignore these foundations. This all-time classic episode from 2024, has host Dave Asprey joined by Mark Hyman, a practicing physician and one of the most respected leaders in functional medicine. Dr. Hyman is the founder and senior advisor of The UltraWellnessCenter, the founder and former head of strategy and innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and a long time advocate for treating root causes instead of managing disease. With over 30 years of clinical experience, his work focuses on restoring mitochondrial health, optimizing metabolism, reversing chronic disease, and slowing biological aging using science backed interventions. Together, Dave and Mark dismantle common myths around protein, carnivore diets, ketosis, fasting, supplements, and longevity drugs. They explain why sugar accelerates aging faster than protein, how mTOR must cycle instead of staying suppressed, and why muscle, mitochondria, and metabolic flexibility matter more than calorie restriction. The conversation also covers nootropics, sleep optimization, neuroplasticity, AI driven diagnostics, and how functional medicine reframes aging as a reversible biological process rather than an inevitable decline. You'll learn: • How insulin and nutrient sensing control aging speed • Why mitochondria sit at the center of longevity and disease • The truth about mTOR, fasting, and protein intake • How ketosis and metabolic flexibility protect long term health • Where supplements and nootropics actually fit in brain optimization • Why functional medicine outperforms symptom based care • How AI and advanced testing are reshaping modern medicine Thank you to our sponsors! - MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order. -ARMRA | Go to https://tryarmra.com/ and use the code DAVE to get 15% off your first order. -OneSkin | Try OneSkin for 15% off with code DAVE at https://www.oneskin.co/DAVE.

What if the confusion around fasting and hormones isn't because the science is complicated, but because most people are using the wrong tools for the wrong goals? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to get clear about what fasting actually does, when it helps, and when it backfires. This is a conversation about taking ownership of your metabolism instead of chasing trends that don't match your life. We talk about the viral moment from her Stephen Bartlett interview, how misinformation spreads, and what she learned from being at the center of it. Mindy breaks down her six core fasts, why women need a different strategy, and how to adjust your approach if you train hard. We get into cycle-based fasting, fertility, menopause, HRT, toxic load, peptides, creatine, apple cider vinegar, and the rise of GLP-1 drugs. If you've ever wondered how to use fasting without wrecking your energy or performance, this episode will give you a clearer path forward. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, educator, and functional health expert known as the fasting guru. Her books Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl have helped millions of women rethink metabolic health, hormones, and aging, and she has led hundreds of thousands of people through community fasts that focus on real-world results, not quick fixes.

In today's episode, I'm literally on the walking pad with a baby in the wrap while Amy's in her office and surprise guest Beth is joining us from the car - because this is real life and we always make it work. We dove into a topic that's been popping up nonstop in our communities lately: intermittent fasting, autophagy, inflammation, and all the fear-based protocols targeting women, especially menopausal and perimenopausal women. This conversation is part science, part mindset, and part “please stop overcomplicating your life.”We break down what autophagy actually is, and answer the question: is fasting the magical lever people are pulling it off as? We chat about how chronic inflammation gets twisted into a marketing scheme instead of something you can support with simple, foundational habits. Most importantly, we talk about the psychological fallout… how these rigid protocols disconnect you from your hunger cues, fuel all-or-nothing thinking, and keep you believing you're fragile, broken, or in need of secrets. Spoiler: you're not.“We are not fragile. We are not broken. We are not delicate - and you don't need a protocol to fix what was never damaged.”- Amy Rudolph“You cannot read the label when you're inside the jar - and so many women don't realize how good they could feel until they stop following rules that were never meant for them.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:What is autophagy and what does it do? How do we get it?The truth about inflammation: the difference between chronic vs. acute, and why skipping meals doesn't “heal” anythingHow fasting rules disconnect women from hunger cues and mimic disordered eating patternsWhy most clients who attempt intermittent fasting end up overeating at night and struggling with protein intakeHow “fear-based protocols” target menopausal women with misinformation, secrecy, and false authorityThe psychological toll of chasing hacks, cycle-syncing rules, and hormone micromanagementReal-life performance wins from fueling before workouts instead of training fastedThe only things that consistently support health and longevity: sleep, strength training, protein, fiber, movement, stress management—the “boring basics”Connect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Vanessa Spina break down new human research showing why high protein doesn't block autophagy when calories are low. You'll learn how this changes everything we've believed about protein timing, fasting, and cellular repair. The conversation also reveals why prioritizing protein can accelerate fat loss without sacrificing muscle.   You'll hear how protein impacts appetite, hormones, and metabolic flexibility—and why many people overeat simply because they're under-consuming essential amino acids. Vanessa explains the protein leverage effect and how it naturally reduces cravings, stabilizes blood sugar, and makes eating "effortlessly" satisfying. These insights can help you rethink how you build your daily meals.   You'll discover why certain fasting styles can increase visceral fat loss, support hormonal balance, and boost performance. Expect a mix of science, real-world application, and surprising findings you may not have heard before.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction and Exciting New Study 00:21 Welcome and Guest Introduction 00:30 Deep Dive into the New Study 01:52 Vanessa Spina's Expertise and Background 05:47 Interview with Vanessa Spina Begins 06:15 Discussion on Protein Absorption Study 14:04 Personal Experiences with Protein and Fasting 16:55 Debunking Protein Myths 18:10 Nutrition Principles and Protein Prioritization 22:23 Ketones, Satiety, and Inflammation 27:07 Balancing Hormones and Stress 31:17 Understanding Autophagy and Protein Intake 32:35 The Importance of Human Trials in Research 35:11 Study on High Protein Fasting Mimicking Diet 38:38 Results and Implications of the Study 42:18 Personal Experiences with Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 45:32 Practical Tips for Implementing Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 57:54 Comparing Different Fasting Approaches 01:01:13 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the science and real-life experience behind a 36-hour fast, explaining why this specific fasting window creates a powerful metabolic, hormonal, and cellular reset. Ben walks listeners through the hour-by-hour stages of the fast — from digestion, to fat burning, to deep autophagy — and explains how fasting transforms the body at every level. He covers increases in human growth hormone, gut repair, ketone production, mitochondrial upgrades, and the mental clarity that comes from elevated BDNF. He also answers the most common questions about long fasts:• What drinks or supplements break a fast• Whether women should modify fasting based on their cycle• How often to repeat a 36-hour fast• What symptoms are normal vs. concerning• Whether fasting impacts muscle• How to eat before and after a long fast for best results Ben also explains who should not attempt a 36-hour fast and how to break the fast without losing the benefits. He emphasizes that fasting is not starvation — it's a biological event designed for healing, fat loss, and metabolic restoration.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on a new perspective in Alzheimer's research, particularly the role of microglial cells. She reveals insights from integrative neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter's presentation at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, emphasizing the significance of microglial cells in Alzheimer's disease. The discussion highlights the traditional focus on beta amyloid plaques and introduces the importance of shifting from the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to the M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglial cells. Dr. Perlmutter advocates for addressing systemic metabolic and inflammatory issues, pointing out factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and high blood sugar, which are crucial in preventing Alzheimer's. The episode delves into lifestyle interventions such as ketogenic diets, fasting, and nutritional impacts to manage and potentially reverse the detrimental shift in microglial behavior.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers joins Ben Azadi to break down what really happens inside your body during a 72-hour fast — from burning stored fat to reducing inflammation in the brain.

Send us a textThousands of years before modern science emerged, the ancient science of Ayurveda propagated this prescient knowledge of the body's cellular anatomy, its recalibration and maintenance as the imperative to maintaining excellent health. In Ayurveda, the principle of autophagy is only one core part of a greater plethora of cellular function of the cellular anatomy, which in Sanskrit is referred to Śarīra Paramānus/Anu Srotāmsi, a vast invisible network of living units of the body analogous to modern cells. Today, science is progressively proving what the ancient rishis knew. Thanks to Yoshinori Oshumi cellular recycling now has a modern scientific name. Ohsumi, a brilliant biologist in Tokyo won the Nobel Prize in 2016 for “discovering” autophagy” the process where cells break down and recycle their own damaged components to survive and stay healthy. Ohsumi's work and findings are outstanding, and open the door to greater scientific knowledge of the cellular anatomy. Autophagy is a natural function of cell recycling, the process in which cells degrade and  recycle cellular components by breaking down and reusing damaged or unnecessary components within a cell. Autophagy is essential for a cell to function and to manifest the energy that it needs. Fully functional cells help us survive during periods of physical, emotional and spiritual stress. It can destroy pathogens like viruses and bacteria that have entered a cell. Cells are the basic building blocks of every tissue and organ in your body. Each cell contains multiple parts that keep it functioning. Over time, these parts can become defective or stop working. By deconstructing old parts of their cells they don't need, cells can recreate these junky bits into functioning cells they need to survive. Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

In this solosode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike unveils the most comprehensive update yet to BioLight's flagship supplement — BioBlue — and takes listeners deep inside the quantum bioenergetic thinking that shaped its redesign. What began as a methylene-blue-based mitochondrial catalyst has evolved into a next-generation longevity systemintegrating deuterium-depleted water, elevated NMN, taurine, and trace gold-silver resonance compounds.   Dr. Mike breaks down the science and reasoning behind each refinement: why Litewater's 10 ppm deuterium-depleted water now forms the clean matrix for all BioBlue liquids, how NMN has been increased ten-fold (10 mg → 100 mg) to meaningfully expand NAD⁺ pools and drive biogenesis, and how taurine stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and calcium signaling for endurance and resilience. He explains the subtle yet powerful tweaks — like a 50 % increase in colloidal gold and silver and a 40 % reduction in fulvic acid — that sharpen redox coherence and enhance longevity signaling.   Dr. Mike dives into: Overview of how BioBlue progressed from a simple methylene-blue solution to a full mitochondrial optimization system. Why all BioBlue liquids now utilizes Litewater for cleaner proton flow and improved ATP efficiency. Why NMN increased from 10 mg → 100 mg per dose to meaningfully raise NAD⁺ levels, drive biogenesis, and enhance DNA repair. Why the addition of Taurine – 100 mg per serving for membrane stability, calcium regulation, and long-term mitochondrial resilience. Enhanced Trace Elements – 50 % more colloidal gold & silver plus refined fulvic acid for smoother redox flow and higher photodynamic efficiency.   This episode isn't just about formulation — it's about why every molecule matters in the pursuit of mitochondrial efficiency, redox stability, and long-term cellular youthfulness. Mike also previews BioLight's upcoming new website, pre-Black-Friday event, and a soon-to-launch BioBlue Lite product line for those seeking simplicity without compromise.   Key Topics Covered Evolution of BioBlue — from the original methylene blue + NMN formula to a comprehensive mitochondrial optimization system. Integration of Deuterium-Depleted Water (Litewater, 10 ppm) — explanation of how lowering deuterium enhances ATP production, redox efficiency, and longevity potential. NMN Upgrade (10× Increase) — new 100 mg per serving dosage for boosting NAD⁺ levels, mitochondrial biogenesis, DNA repair, and energy metabolism. Addition of Taurine (100 mg per serving) — supports membrane integrity, calcium balance, ROS buffering, and cellular longevity signaling. Enhanced Colloidal Gold & Silver (50 % Increase) — improved redox stability, electron flow, and photodynamic synergy with methylene blue and red light. Refined Wu Jin Sun Fulvic Acid (−40 %) — optimizes redox balance and mineral transport while improving synergy between all active compounds. Comprehensive Mitochondrial Benefits — improved ATP efficiency, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis for cleaner, more resilient energy production. New Product Lineup — introduction of BioBlue Lite and BioBlue Leuco Lite (simplified methylene blue + water versions) for accessible mitochondrial support. Key Quotes from Dr. Mike   “Deuterium-depleted water doesn't just make the mitochondria go faster—it helps them run truer, cleaner, and more efficiently.”   “We've moved BioBlue from a trace metabolic nudge to a real mitochondrial optimization protocol that supports redox cycling, biogenesis, and longevity pathways in a quantifiable way.”   “Taurine turns BioBlue from a fast-acting energy compound into a cellular longevity stack—supporting repair, recycling, and resilience.”   “By increasing colloidal gold and silver within their optimal bio-signal zones, BioBlue transforms from a chemical redox supplement into a biophysical energy transducer.”   “Each change — from Litewater to taurine — was made to help your mitochondria run longer, cleaner, and more accurately. This is longevity through bioenergetics.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Announcements: Pre-Black Friday + new website 04:00 – The origin of BioBlue and its evolution 10:00 – Introducing the upgraded BioBlue formula 11:00 – Why BioLight partnered with Light Water 12:00 – How deuterium slows mitochondrial ATP production 17:00 – Functional benefits of deuterium-depleted water 19:00 – 10x increase in NMN for energy and repair 27:00 – Synergy between NMN and methylene blue 30:00 – Adding taurine for stability and longevity 39:00 – Increasing colloidal gold for photonic synergy 46:00 – Boosting colloidal silver for redox protection 52:00 – Why lowering fulvic acid improves coherence 56:00 – What's next: BioBlue Light + legacy pricing offer 01:02:00 – Dr. Mike's closing thoughts on mitochondrial optimization Resources & References Deuterium Depletion and Mitochondrial Efficiency Boros, L.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what happens inside your body when you don't eat for a while — when you give yourself space between meals? In this week's episode of Project Weight Loss, we explore that quiet magic with the story of Nobel Laureate Maester Yoshinori Ohsumi, whose discovery of autophagy — the body's natural process of self-cleaning and renewal — changed how we understand health, vitality, and longevity. From his humble lab in Japan to the moment he glimpsed a new world under the microscope, Ohsumi's curiosity reveals how our bodies are wired to restore themselves, especially in moments of pause.We'll talk about how autophagy connects to fasting, weight management, brain health, and aging — and why giving your body a little space to “dine in” can make such a difference. You'll hear about Ohsumi's groundbreaking experiments, his partnership with his wife and collaborator Mariko Ohsumi, and how their discoveries invite us to see self-renewal as a natural rhythm of life. I'll also link this episode to my earlier one on the Blue Zones — where long-living communities show us what it means to live in harmony with our biology. Listen in, reflect, and maybe even give your body that gentle reset it's been asking for.Quote of the Week:“We are wired for feast and famine, not feast, feast, feast.” — Dr. Jason FungListen to my related episode: The Blue Zones: The Secrets to Living Citations1.    Ohsumi, Y.

Dr Leah Hechtman, one of Australia's most respected naturopathic educators, joins fx Medicine by BioCeuticals ambassador Emma Sutherland to discuss the often-overlooked stage of men's health: andropause. More than simply “low testosterone,” andropause reflects age-related changes including Leydig cell decline, metabolic changes, vascular shifts, and neurological alterations that shape male wellbeing across the lifespan. Leah outlines how andropause may present in practice, from body composition changes and hair greying to mood shifts, sleep disruption, prostate dysfunction, and reduced cognitive performance. She highlights the importance of comprehensive testing — extending beyond testosterone — to include oestrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), insulin, leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and DUTCH hormone analysis. These insights allow clinicians to identify early signs and develop a more complete picture of male ageing. The discussion also explores strategies that may support resilience, including optimising sleep, managing stress, and addressing metabolic health.

The episode also highlights promising research from the University of California Irvine on using natural compounds like nicotinamide and EGCG to rejuvenate aging brain cells and address the buildup of Alzheimer's-associated proteins. Leyla also provides insights into the difference between Alzheimer's and general dementia and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatments.

In a fascinating and insightful discussion, I sat down with Dr. Jon Brudvig, a medical scientist and expert in neuroscience and drug development. Together, we explored the science of aging, the critical role of cellular recycling, and the practical steps anyone can take to improve their healthspan. Jon Brudvig shared his journey from rare disease research to longevity science, offering actionable insights into how our daily choices impact the aging process. Such a good conversation, I have split it into two parts. What You'll Learn: The Cellular Foundation of Aging:Discover how Dr. Brudvig’s research into lysosomal storage diseases led him to understand the universal decline in cellular recycling (autophagy and lysosomal function) as a key driver of aging. Autophagy Explained:Learn why autophagy—the body’s process of breaking down and recycling damaged cellular components—is essential for health, and how modern lifestyles can disrupt this natural cycle. The Fundamentals of Longevity:Understand why exercise, diet, sleep, vitamin D, omega-3s, and real-life social connections are the true building blocks of a long and healthy life. Mouse Models and Human Longevity:Gain perspective on the limitations of animal studies in longevity research, and why findings in mice don’t always translate directly to humans. The mTOR Pathway and Protein Intake:Explore the debate around the mTOR pathway, protein consumption, and how balancing periods of growth and rest may be the key to optimal aging. Healthspan vs. Lifespan:Reflect on the difference between living longer and living better, and why increasing your years of good health (healthspan) is a more realistic and valuable goal than chasing extreme longevity. Key Takeaways: Aging is cellular: The decline in lysosomal and autophagy function is a core driver of aging and disease. Autophagy matters: Fasting, exercise, and periodic stressors help trigger the body’s natural recycling processes. Master the basics: Exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep, and strong social ties are the most effective longevity interventions. Be cautious with quick fixes: Not all supplements or drugs that work in mice will work in humans—focus on proven fundamentals first. Balance is key: Intermittent activation of growth pathways (like mTOR) through meals and exercise, balanced with periods of rest, supports healthy aging. Protein quality counts: Mix your protein sources and prioritise whole foods for optimal health outcomes.

Episode #219 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I realize the relationship between bitters, incretins, and autophagy is more complex than a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The incretin response doesn't directly “promote” autophagy - it primarily regulates blood sugar and satiety. Autophagy is mainly triggered by nutrient scarcity and low insulin levels, not by bitter compounds themselves.  Can you weigh-in on using bitter greens during this reset? [16:07]  I have had some success lowering weight a couple times using fasting and time restricted eating but the weight creeps back up after a while even with doing TRE. What's nice is that I can get it to go back down again with discipline. I'm wondering what scientific evidence exists that your body set weight can successfully be reset for the long term as mine holds for a while but then wants to creep up and if there's a foolproof method to resetting your body set weight? [19:26] Your kidney patients who are T2D and close to needing dialysis, but are skinny, I'm assuming they need to fast for about a year to reverse the kidney damage, but how do they do it with so little fat mass? [26:56]  I know that vitamin D is fat soluble and best taken with a meal. I've also heard that all supplements are better absorbed when taken with a meal. Is this true? What timeframe is considered “with a meal”? Is it before, during or after the meal? Is vitamin D a stimulant and can disrupt sleep so best taken in the morning? [30:32] How do you rate the risk of new gallstones formation if a patient already has one or more when it comes to fasting protocols? [33:46]   Links: Dr. Fung's YouTube video, 5 Ways to Naturally Boost the Ozempic Effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3Ifc7D5Vk&t=2s Gallstones discussed on TFM Podcast #171 https://www.thefastingmethod.com/fasting-qa-with-dr-jason-fung-gallstones-and-fasting-high-ketones-persistent-high-blood-sugar-and-more/   Please note that you need to be a member of the TFM Community to submit questions to the Q&A webinars with Dr. Fung but you can submit questions to our regular Q&A episodes here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs   Transcripts of all episodes are available on the Podcast page at www.thefastingmethod.com   Explore the TFM Community with a 7-Day FREE TRIAL https://www.thefastingmethod.com/community/   Book a complimentary 15-minute coaching intake assessment with one of the TFM coaches https://www.thefastingmethod.com/coaching/   Connect With Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fastingmethod/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheFastingMethod Join our FREE Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TFMNetwork   Summary Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:49 Introducing TFM's new 5-Day Fasting Reset 16:07 Bitter greens 19:26 Body set weight 26:56 Reversing kidney disease possible? 30:32 Timing of taking fat-soluble vitamins 30:32 Gallstones   Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional care by a doctor or other qualified medical professional.

BIO:Dr. Alexis Cowan is a Princeton-trained PhD whose interests and specialities lie at the intersection of circadian and photobiology, metabolism, and the microbiome. After completing her doctoral research in one of the top metabolism labs in the world, she started her private practice where she works with athletes and highly motivated individuals looking to optimize their health and performance as well as health coaches and professionals looking to expand the repertoire of tools in their toolkits. SHOWNOTES:

On day 1 of fasting, glycogen is eliminated from the body. Your insulin drops on your first day of fasting, allowing you to tap into your fat reserve. Electrolytes, trace minerals, and B vitamins can be very beneficial during prolonged fasting, especially if you haven't built up a reserve of these nutrients. You can drink tea and coffee without cream or sugar and have water with lemon during your 5-day fast. Plenty of sun, long walks in nature, hot and cold therapy, and HIIT can also enhance the benefits of prolonged fasting. On day 2 of prolonged fasting, you get deeper into ketosis, which means your body burns fat for energy. Autophagy typically begins on the second day of prolonged fasting. This is the process in which the body recycles damaged proteins and uses them for fuel and new tissues. On day 3, brain function and mood continue to improve. BDNF is stimulated, which helps support brain cell regeneration and increases your learning capacity. You also enter a state of deep autophagy, which helps repair mitochondrial damage and clean up intracellular pathogens. On day 3 of a prolonged fast, your immune system essentially resets.Prolonged fasting supports the growth of the thymus gland and allows the gut lining to regenerate completely. People often experience a massive spike in growth hormone on day 3, which protects against muscle loss.On day 4, hunger is gone, and maximum fat burning occurs! Bone broth can be beneficial if you're struggling through a 5-day fast or experiencing a stressful event. Longevity and protective genes are heightened, and your antioxidant networks are strengthened during prolonged fasting. It can also help diversify your microbiome. Slowly begin the refeeding process with around ¼ of your typical calories. Try an egg with sauerkraut, and then wait a few hours before consuming something like a small amount of soup with avocado. After a few more hours, consume berries and nuts. Wait before introducing a full meal and avoid sugar and carbohydrates. High-quality food is vital at this time!After a 5-day fast, your skin, muscles, joints, and brain will show significant improvements! Regular intermittent fasting can help prepare you for a 5-day fast. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals and author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

There's a reason more and more people are turning to intermittent fasting as a reset button for the body. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Jockers to unpack what might be the most underrated survival mechanism built into our cells: autophagy. It's a cleanup crew that breaks down damaged mitochondria, clears out zombie cells, and even resets your gut microbiome. If your energy crashes midday, if your cravings hit hard at night, or your body feels inflamed and sluggish no matter what you eat, there's a good chance your cells aren't getting the cleanup time they desperately need. And that starts with insulin staying too high, too often. We talk about how to train your body to burn fat effortlessly, how long it takes to start getting results from fasting, and why most people are unknowingly blocking this cellular self-repair system. Dr. Jockers also shares how to make fasting easier and safer, especially if you've struggled with low energy or headaches. He also explains why you should consider binders during a fast, how to recognize when your mitochondria are stressed out, and the brain-boosting effects of ketones once you hit day three of a longer fast.   "Just like we talk about a vitamin D deficiency or a zinc deficiency, autophagy is like an essential nutrient. You have to go through it to be healthy." ~ Dr. David Jockers   In This Episode: - What is autophagy, and why is it essential? - How to start fasting - Tips for longer fasts and what to include - How ketones reduce inflammation and boost brain health - Are ketone supplements worth it? - Juice and bone broth fasting - Using binders and other protocols to manage detox symptoms during a fast - Fasting's impact on gut microbiome diversity - The link between fasting, clearing of "zombie cells," and longevity   Products & Resources Mentioned: Conquering Chronic Inflammation Summit 2.0: Learn more here https://drtalks.com/summit/conquering-inflammation/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Use code WENDY to get 15% off at https://boncharge.com  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com   About Dr. David Jockers: Dr. David Jockers is a doctor of natural medicine and a world-renowned expert in metabolic health, fasting, and functional nutrition.
