here and on this video, I am back with new science,
specifically talking
about how fasting can help heal a leaky gut. So if you're new to
my channel, I just want to say welcome,
I'm a woman on a mission, I am dedicated to getting a million
people here to my channel this year, I see so much evidence on
how fasting is going to end chronic disease studies like
this prove it over and over and over again. So welcome, if
you're new, hit the subscribe button and the notification bell
and dive into the studies I've done the application of fasting
that I've done here and all the tools, hopefully, that you will
find here for building a fasting lifestyle. And those of you that
send my videos out, again, I adore you and I just love being
on this journey with you, we will change chronic disease with
fasting. Okay, this study is super cool. So I want to kind of
give you a big picture. We know from past studies, one of the
most famous studies on fasting was done on the 24 hour fast it
was a mouse study. And it proved that at 24 hours, you would get
intestinal stem cells that would be produced. Stem Cells are very
powerful, because what they do is they go in and they start to
heal any injured areas. So in that study, they started to see
that you could actually change the mucosal lining the inner
lining of a gut that was causing a leaky gut situation. Now I'm
going to talk about what leaky gut is here in a moment. We've
had that study for several years now it was out of MIT, I talked
about it a lot. This study came out in April 2020.
So it's a little over a year old. And it was specifically
looking at leaky gut. So let's talk about what leaky gut is. On
the inside of your gut,
you have a mucosal lining of protective lining, that should
be very tight like saran wrap. And it protects toxins from
getting into the bloodstream and going straight up to your brain.
It also protects undigested food from getting in your bloodstream
and going up into other parts of the body and creating an
inflammatory response. So leaky gut is a really challenging
situations, because what happens is these tight junctions, this
saran wrap on the inside of your gut, what ends up happening is
you start to get openings, this is the leaky part, and that
undigested food can get in toxins can get in and they can
create an inflammatory response. Here's the challenge. They don't
always create an inflammatory response in your gut, they often
create the inflammatory response in your brain. I have an
incredible podcast that I just interviewed Dr. Steven Gundry.
On it's called the well, the podcast, we talked about his new
book called The Energy Paradox. And when I asked him why so many
people had energy problems, he said the number one reason
literally the number one reason was because of a leaky gut. And
you can go listen to that, go to the Resetter podcast on iTunes,
you can go listen to him describe this. And he said, it's
because when these junctions open up, what happens is this
undigested food and toxins get in and it causes the brain to
swell. And when the brain swells, it doesn't you don't
have brain clarity, you don't have energy your body starts to
tank. So what studies like this one that I'm going to explain to
you or showing to us is that we can undo that and we can undo it
very quickly through fasting. So know that leaky gut is
potentially not a gut issue for you. You may have leaky gut and
not have a gut symptom, you may have a brain symptom. Now the
other thing before I dive in this study I just want to point
out to you is that there are four major causes of leaky gut,
allergies to food, so foods like gluten, and anything we oriented
tends to cause a leaky gut. Second is glyphosate, any non
organic, genetically modified sprayed food is going to create
a leaky gut antibiotics, so any round of antibiotics you've ever
been on, we'll open these junctions up, and then stress so
the more chronic stress you're under, the more these junctions
will open. So that's pretty much all of us. You can't be Human on
this planet and get away from antibiotics and glyphosate and
stress at this particular moment. So most of us have some
type of leaky gut. Okay, let's dive into the study, they looked
at three types of fasting, alternate day fasting, time
restricted eating, which is really interesting, and
intermittent energy restriction. That's a new one, I'm going to
talk about this. And what they found is that alternate day
fasting was not as effective as time restricted eating, which is
like a toffee g fasting, where you're going 17 hours, and
intermittent energy restriction, fasting, which is where you're
keeping your calories under 500 grams, little more like fast
mimicking diet. And what they found was after doing this
style, the intermittent energy restriction fasting and the time
restricted eating, what they found was that there were
massive changes in the microbiome. And two of those
changes are profound. The bad bacteria came down specifically,
they looked at E. coli, and they looked at Shigella, those two
bacteria came down, those bacteria died off. The second
thing that they noticed is the anti inflammatory bacteria, the
one that's going to bring the neuro inflammation down,
increased so bad bacteria down, good bacteria up. And because of
this bacterial change that happened with time restricted
fasting, and intermittent eating, or energy restricted
fasting, because of these two types of fasts, what they
started to see the changes in the microbiome led to the
changes in leaky gut that that inner mucosal lining healed. So
this is really encouraging. Because we know if we're going
to do more time restricted fasting, more of the 15 hour,
more of the 17 hours, the 36-48 everything I'm teaching you
here, that we're healing leaky gut, bringing inflammation down,
changing the microbiome, we also know that more of this
intermittent energy restriction, which is keeping your calories
under 500 to 600 calories a day, also heals the leaky gut.
What's really interesting about the intermittent energy
restriction, diet or style of fasting is that they only do it
three days out of the week. So four days they ate whatever they
want three days, they keep their calories under 500 to 600
calories a day. So those of you that don't want to fast all the
time, this is great news, you can still heal your gut, by
keeping calories low for at least three days out of your
week. And the rest of the week, you can eat whatever you want.
You know, that's up to you what style that you eat, but you're
still going to get some gut repair. So all the research
coming out right now you guys on intermittent fasting on the
longer fast, so much of it is about the microbiome change. And
here is another example of how we can make a change without a
supplement. With intermittent energy restriction is even
showing us that we can make a change without fasting every
single day. So as always, let me know if that helps. If you guys
are wanting to dive into understanding your gut better,
you want to know more about leaky gut syndrome. You can get
a gut Zoomer, we do stool tests, and consultations with those
tests all the time. Just go to drmindypelz.com. And we will put
we have links to those tests or you can just put gut Zoomer in
the comments, and my team will send you a link. So that's an
option for you. The second option for you to learn more
about this, go listen to the podcast I did with Dr. Gundry.
Fascinating top two reasons for leaky gut. He talks about it in
there. One is antibiotics, 2 is glyphosate, again, things that
we are exposed to that on a daily basis. And if you really
want to dive into fixing your gut with fasting, I have a great
video that I talked about that MIT study called Can you fix
your gut with fasting? So those are some great resources for
you. But we've got to bring the inflammation down and studies l
ke this are proving that we c n. If you have changed your gut
ealth through fasting, put it in the comments so that the commu
ity can learn and as always, h pe that helps.
