if you are stuck with your weight then I really want to encourage you to learn
how to use the 36 hours fast how to sprinkle it in maybe once a month maybe once a quarter
to really keep your metabolism up and force your body to burn fat for energy
Dr. Mindy here and on this video I am going to go through the six types of fasting that I recommend
everybody use and if you're new to my channel I just want to say welcome I'm a woman on a mission
to get a million people here this year learning to fast a lot of you guys are getting familiar with
intermittent fasting I want you to get familiar with these six different fasts because fasting
heals your body like no tool I have ever seen and it's free it's it doesn't take time all it takes
is knowledge and that's what I'm doing here on this channel is providing you that knowledge and
those of you that share these videos again you rock we're all in this together we can get out
of chronic disease by teaching the world how to fast so I'm so super grateful for you okay
this is the most common question I get literally whenever I get on a podcast interview when I'm
interviewed on tv everybody wants to know tell me the different types of fast I should be doing
intermittent fasting has taken the world by storm but there is more to the fasting story than just
intermittent fasting so I'm going to walkthrough these six fast with you and I'm going to go
through the highlights of why you would want to lean into these different types of fats so fasting
number one is the one we all love intermittent fasting when I say intermittent fasting I look
at 13 to 15 hours without food, you can have your coffee you can have your tea you can have your
MCT oil and your butter in your coffee you can do all of that but it's 13 to 15 hours without
food why would you want to do this fast this is where we start to move the needle and bring you
over to the fat burner energy system if all you're doing is eating all day you've never accessed the
fat burning energy system so we start to move you over here and get you into this fat burning
system with intermittent fasting we also know that intermittent fasting will improve growth hormone
which slows the aging process and helps you burn fat we know it improves testosterone which is
going to help with libido muscle motivation we also know that it starts to bring insulin
down it'll help you regulate glucose and with intermittent fasting usually as you make this
shift you start to make ketones and ketones will go up into the brain and they'll start to heal
your brain and they will knock off or kill the hunger hormone so we love intermittent fasting
it's a great foundational fast okay fast number two now you'll see all of these are timed fast
that I'm going in the order of the time so the second one is autophagy fasting and this autophagy
kicks in at 17 hours so when you've been fasting for 17 hours the cells look around and they go
okay no food's coming blood sugar's not raising so I'm going to start to become a more efficient cell
so the intelligence in the cell will start to repair itself so it can function better if that
cell is going to be a cancer cell then what will happen is it will actually create something called
apoptosis where it will kill that cell and get rid of it so we love autophagy fasting because
of the ability for the cells to start to self repair the other thing that we love about
autophagy is that there are certain areas in the body that is very highly susceptible to autophagy
like the brain your testes ovaries these organs really respond well to autophagy so we can
help things like dementia and Alzheimer's and memory loss using autophagy we can start
to balance menopausal symptoms and andropause we don't talk about andropause enough but as men are
aging testosterone levels go down so we love autophagy fasting because of its impact on the
brain and on hormonal health okay fast number three is what I call the gut reset fast and
why I give it this name is because of the benefits that will happen when you fast for 24 hours so
if you want to reset your gut you're going to want to fast for 24 hours this is not omad
omad is usually 18 hours and people shorten their eating window this is legitimately going
24 hours without food the research shows that it'll reboot the intestinal stem cells and this is
why I call it the gut reset fast it's fabulous for those of you that have any autoimmune conditions
anybody who's got sibo parasites candida if you're missing neurotransmitters like dopamine
if or GABA if you want to start to create a more of healing like it fixed like a leaky
gut and get your immune system going in a stronger way then you're going to want to do the gut reset
fast and that happens at 24 hours we also have some great research showing that at 24 hours you
change the microbiome so dramatically in the gut it can start to lower blood pressure and I've done
a lot of videos on blood pressure and fasting so and the research on that so go watch those videos
okay number four is what i love calling the fat burner fast this is at 36 hours what happens is
it's enough time without food that you force your body to go find the excess it stored years ago
this is excess glucose this is excess hormones the excess toxins if you are stuck with your weight
then i really want to encourage you to learn how to use the 36 hour fast how to sprinkle it in
maybe once a month maybe once a quarter to really keep your metabolism up and force your body to
burn fat for energy okay number five this is again one of my favorite it's called the happiness fast
and at 48 hours of fasting you literally reset all your dopamine receptor sites in your brain
you create new neural pathways for dopamine you create new receptors for dopamine if you are aging
and you feel like you just don't experience joy enough anymore I highly recommend that you go on
the 48 hours fast because although it may not feel like dopamine's resetting during that time when
you go back to food you're gonna see that you're gonna take in those happy moments in much more of
a neurochemical level so if you're struggling with joy I love the happiness fast at 48 hours to reset
those dopamine pathways if you want to take it to another level you can even get off social media
and things like that you can stop watching so much Netflix binge-watching those Netflix series that
would enhance your body's ability to reset its dopamine pathways the other thing that we know
about the 48 hour fast is that there's research showing that it will slow down the aging process
that at 48 hours of fasting the Krebs cycle the cycle that spits out energy for our cells
it actually will start to put out antioxidants that slow the aging process down so we kill two
birds with one stone we slow aging down and we improve your happiness levels I don't know
anything better than that and then the last one is the world famous three-day water fast i call it
the immune fast or the immune system or the immune reset fast however you want to look at it but when
I think three days I think immunity this was the fast that was made very popular by Valter Longo
and Valter Longo found that after three days 72 hours of fasting that old white blood cells would
actually slough off and new white blood cells would reappear he saw this in cancer patients
so it's fabulous for resetting your immune system we also know that at the 72 hour mark
that you will increase stem cell production so you guys have heard my Achilles tendon story
a lot of you have used this 72 hour fast to be able to heal musculoskeletal injuries it is an
incredible fast to amp up the healing because of the stem cell production stem cells are cells that
can go anywhere in your body and repair any old aging cell and make them new again a little bit
like waving a magic wand so there you go those are the six fast if I went too fast for you and you're
like oh i don't know which one to do then i really encourage you to get my free fasting cheat sheet

I'd love to know in the comments which of those six is your favorite and why I love seeing your
