Dr. Mindy here and all this week I'm teaching you guys the basic principles of something
called autophagy when you hear the word autophagy I want you to think self-repair it is your cells
72 trillion cells it is the way that they heal themselves and there are some very specific habits
you can do to stimulate autophagy and fasting is one of them so if you're new to my channel I just
want to say welcome I'm really excited you're here you joined on a good week because we're
going through the principles of autophagy that are so crucial for every human to know and as always
you guys if the information I put out during this week is all in a companion guide if you want that
information it's a free companion guide I have for you just put companion guide in the notes
and all or in your comments and I'll make sure you get it and women you really benefit from fasting
but you gotta do fasting around your hormones so I'm teaching that my next may reset just put may
reset in your comments and we'll make sure you get a link for that so excited you're all here
okay autophagy fasting so this is a really cool concept about you know remember autophagy
is stimulated when you sleep autophagy is stimulated when you're exercise but when you
use autophagy for fasting this concept that we can accelerate we can enhance the autophagy
that is naturally occurring in our cells with fasting is really profound so I want to talk about
the principles behind autophagy fasting so the first is I want you to remember autophagy
is self-repair that's the goal the second is that there are three key principles that you
need to keep in mind if you want to accelerate and enhance maximize the autophagy within the cells
using fasting principle number one you need to at least fast 17 hours so at 17 hours autophagy turns
on now I'm going to give you a little behind the scenes of what it's like to do youtube videos
every week and get your guys comments we have had so many people debating when autophagy starts
so I would like to just point out that the research this is dr Ohsumi's research shows
that it starts at 17 hours and it continues to go it's like a dimmer switch that gets turned on
and you just turn it up turn it up turn it up the longer you go so I am not here to debate with you
17 hours 24 hours i'm here to tell you that at 17 hours it starts this we start this process
magnifying autophagy so the first key principle to autophagy fasting is you're going to go 17 hours
without food, second thing is you are going to break your fast with fat this is something I
learned from my conversations with Naomi Whittle who wrote glow 15. you guys can go find her book
on autophagy and what I really gathered from her concepts and her research on autophagy
was that if you break your fast with something like fat you keep your blood sugar pretty balanced
and many times you'll even get your blood sugar will drop and if it stays balanced or drops the
autophagy effect continues so one way we can use with autophagy fasting, we can get more bang for
our buck is we can do the 17 hours and we break it with fat that kills the hunger hormone
and it allows you to fast longer so you get more autophagy that's amazing which leads me to my
third principle and one that will still keep you in autophagy which is 20 grams of protein do not
go over 20 grams keep it under 20 grams so the important reason that we do that is because like
on a fast training week this week, we're gonna go all five days here keeping you in autophagy so for
five days you're in self-repair for five days viruses can't replicate inside your cells when
you're in the state of autophagy now if I told you, you were not eating anything for five days
that some I might have lost some of you on that one but what I'm saying is the goal of autophagy
is self-repair stop viral replication these things are really important so but you probably want to
eat a little bit right it's easier to eat a little bit than to not eat anything so when we keep
protein under 20 grams when we break our fast with fat we're still staying in the state of autophagy
but we're the brain isn't hungry we're still enjoying food and if you go back and watch the
video a couple videos ago that I did talking about how fasting can beat up your healing rate
well there are certain foods that will accelerate this process and you go back and watch those on
that video but it's really a state of a miraculous state this autophagy fasting so I want
you to gather all the principles and I want you to experience them for yourself if you're joining
us this week o fast training week please let me know in the comments and as always you guys
if you have gotten great results with fasting tell your story in the comments so that people can see
what's here for them fasting speeds up healing fasting stops viral replication fasting heals
neurons in the brain so you think better fasting helps you lose weight why would the whole world
not be fasting this is what I am preaching and teaching to you all so happy autophagy fasting
you
