This video is about day one of fast training week.
So remember there's always a companion guide to our fast trading weeks.
So if you want the companion guide, just put companion guide in the comments
and we'll send you the free link.
Okay.
Fixing your gut with fasting.
Is it possible?
Heck yeah, it's possible.
In fact, not only is it so possible, I see it over and over and over again in
my clinic, in my resetter community.
This is your go-to fast in order to repair your gut.
So what does the research say?
Well, really famous study.
It was put out it was done by MIT.
So put out by MIT news and I'll just read the top here.
Biologists, find a way to boost intestinal stem cell populations,
and it was done on mice.
So it's not a human study, but the study suggests that a 24 hour fast will stimulate
stem cells and protect the gastrointestinal tract from age related diseases.
Now you're going to see a common thread this week that the 24 hour fast is so powerful
for changing the microbiome, that it affects everything from cardiovascular disease.
We've talked about how it can affect blood pressure.
We've talked about how it can really affect weight loss and all of that is because
we are making changes to the microbiome.
So this is really exciting when we see that we're getting intestinal stem cells.
So what are intestinal stem cells?
Well, what I want you to remember is that a stem cell is a cell that can go
anywhere in the body and create repair.
When you are eating all day, you are injuring your mucosal lining of your gut, and you're
a damaging you're killing good bacteria.
You're creating a situation.
That's like a leaky gut where toxins and undigested food
can get into your bloodstream.
And you are literally destroying.
That inner mucosal lining, especially if you're eating the standard American diet.
Now, if you're not eating the standard American diet and you're
eating good things, you watch my video on what to break a fast with.
Then you're actually that part of your gut might be healthy.
But when we go 24 hours, Without food.
We reboot those intestinal stem cells.
Those intestinal stem cells go into this lining and start to repair it so
that you can make good neurotransmitters that keep your brain happy.
Keep your immune system strong.
Gosh, everything in there, serotonin dopamine, all those
yummy hormones that we want.
The breaking down of estrogen that so many menopausal women need.
This is all enhanced with a 24 hour fast and a reboot of your digestive system.
Now, what if you actually have a gut problem?
You're not just looking for the secondary side effects of a 24 hour faster.
Like I legit have like gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, candida, parasites,
sIBO can a fast like this help.
And my response to you is not only can it help.
I actually do not think you will get very far in the overcoming those conditions
without the use of the 24 hour fast.
So for something like CBO now, SIBO is small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth, and it is when you get.
The bacteria in the wrong part of your intestine.
It's in the small intestine, not the large intestine.
They meander up into that small intestine.
And you know, you have SIBO because when you eat vegetables,
your stomach gets really bloated.
That's a classic example of SIBO so when you use it for things like SIBO where
you're throwing these 24 hour fast at you, all of a sudden, you may start to
notice over time, you can eat vegetables and you're not having that reaction.
What about something like candida, where you have like crazy cravings for sugar?
Well, let me tell you.
And my friend, Jesse Itzler is a great example of this.
If you have not followed Jesse on Instagram, go follow in him.
He is starting his fasting journey and we are having so much fun working together and
seeing changes that he's making in his body.
And one of the things he said to me was my cravings have changed.
Why have my cravings changed?
It's because he's doing 24 hour fast and it's changing the microbiome and
allowing the good bacteria to grow and the bad bacteria to go away.
So bad fungus, like things like candida are dying off and he's not craving
the carbs that he used to crave.
Well, we all have seen that.
I used to crave chocolate all the time.
Don't crave it anymore.
The more I'm throwing these longer fasts, because when you change the microbiome
through fasting, you change your cravings.
What about if you are gaining weight for no particular reason?
Well, there's actually a bacterial ratio called Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes and
when you have too much Firmicutes and you get too much firmicutes by the way, from
too many antibiotics and the standard American diet, when you have too many
Firmicutes when you're eating a meal.
You're actually storing more calories as fat when your Firmicutes are down and you have
a good Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio.
We call it the FB ratio.
You can eat more than somebody who has a lot of Firmicutes.
You can eat a lot more and you will not store that those calories as fat.
That is how pivotal this microbiome is.
And when you start throwing 24 hour fast at this, you can change that
firmicutes Bacteroidetes ratio.
What about if you just went on like a round of antibiotics, so antibiotics kill
all the good and bacteria in your gut.
Well, let's do some post antibiotic repair by more 24 hour fast.
So anything that is gut related and has to do with the microbiome is
going to benefit from a 24 hour fast.
Now, what are some of my other hacks, favorite hacks for repairing the gut?
Now, for starters, hopefully you guys know you guys would have been around for awhile.
Around my channel for awhile.
You know, I love the gut Zoomer.
The gut Zoomer is an incredible tool for being able to know.
Do you have more Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes do you have cebo do you have candida these
things that gut Zoomer will tell you?
So if you just put gut Zoomer in the notes are in your comments,
we'll send you a link to that.
So gut tumors, a great way to know where you're at.
My other favorite hack, my friends, Dr.
Zach Bush and his amazing team are, have created this incredible
product called ion biome.
Let me tell you what this is and why it's important to you.
What Zach discovered was that there was helpful bacteria that our vegetables
and our foods used to grow in.
And we are missing that bacteria because of the way that we farm today, that
bacteria has gone down into lower levels and we're not growing our food in it.
And that's the bacteria that closes down a leaky gut kind of situation.
So another great hack is I like to do a tablespoon in the morning of ion biome
to repair any leaky gut and to bring that bacteria back into my digestive system.
So you can just put ion biome.
In the notes.
We'll send you a link for that as well.
And then the last hack is a biohack.
We do here in our clinic.
I know a lot of you guys have access to this.
Don't forget hyperbaric oxygen will help to repair the gut microbiome and something
like your pulse PEMF frequency machine.
So there are a lot of cool ways you can hack the gut outside of fasting.
I love fasting first specially for the gut.
You give me any gut problem.
I'm going to throw some 24 hour fast at it, and you'll start to see that there's
going to be a massive change over time.
And if you want this information, you guys, we always put it in a companion
guide cause it's fast training week.
And the theme of the week is 24 hour fast.
And today's video is hopefully if you're not excited about a 24 hour fast, you, hopefully
you are now like I say, you're a miracle.
And when you throw fasting at your body, you not only repair your human cells, but you
repair your bacterial cells and the 24 hour fast we'll show you that hope that helps.
