Dr Mindy here and all this week,
I'm educating you guys on a concept
called Autophagy, which is your
cells ability to repair themselves.
So if you're new to my channel, I
just want to say welcome excited.
You're here.
I'm on a mission to teach a million
people this year, how to stimulate
things like autophagy through fasting.
So please hit the subscribe button, hit the
notification button, and I hope you find a
tremendous amount of information that serves
you and your health goals here on my channel.
So, and we're doing fast
training week this week.
So if you caught us new we're in the
middle of doing an experience together.
If you want to know more about our
fast training weeks, just put companion
guide in the comments, and I will make
sure that you get the free companion
guide so that you know how to best
participate in this experience with us.
And lastly, before I jump into the
signs of Autophagy, women may reset.
We're going to be talking about how do
you time your fast and your food and
your exercise around your hormonal cycle.
So, whether you're a post-menopausal woman
or a 20 something year old woman trying
to get pregnant I want to teach you how
to do that and customize fast for you.
And we'll be doing that in our may reset.
So just put, may reset in the comments
and we'll send you a link for that
signs of Autophagy.
There are four that I like,
and this is really cool.
Cause I haven't talked about
this on my channel and I can't
wait to share this with you guys.
I want you to know that there is
no formal measurement of Autophagy.
I don't have a blood sugar reader.
I can give you for this.
I don't have a strip.
You can pee on that tells you if
you're at autophagy , I don't
have a continuous glucose monitor.
You can slap on yourself to tell if you're
at autophagy . So we don't have a formal
measurement, but we have some signs.
So here are the four signs I like first
as you are fasting, as you've been doing
the principles of Autophagy, keeping
your protein under 20 grams, fasting
17 hours breaking your fast with fat
is your blood sugar starting to drop.
If it is either staying level or
it's dropping as you're going through
this week and you are in Autophagy.
Now, if you combine that with
your blood sugar dropping.
And your ketones going up
you're in even more Autophagy.
So we know based off your blood sugar and
based off your ketones, I'll tell you a
tool that I absolutely love for blood sugar.
It's a continuous glucose monitor.
You put it on the back of your arm.
I wear one about once a quarter
to watch how foods are my blood
sugar is behaving with foods.
So if you really want to dive in to blood
sugar I recommend a product that's called
Nutrisense . It's in the companion guide.
It's on our store on my website, and it's an
incredible tool to watch the blood sugar to
make sure you don't come out of Autophagy.
So the first clue is blood sugar.
Second clue is you have
surprising weight loss.
I love this idea because who doesn't want
to be surprised by weight loss, unless
somebody who doesn't want to lose weight.
But what I found with the autophagy , we
had been teaching fasting to you
guys for years and years and years.
And when I started to look at keeping
protein under 20 grams, and I looked at
breaking the fast with fat and then amping
up the fasting to 17-24 hours, you all
started losing weight left and right.
So if you've been fasting or if you've been
struggling with weight loss and you've been
intermittent fasting, but you're not, and
you're not quite getting the result you want.
I really want to encourage you to
move to a deeper, fast 17 hours, 24
hours and bring your protein down
by 20 grams and see if that's the
thing that unhooks your weight loss.
So when we start like being surprised at
how we're losing weight, a lot of times
it's cause we've stimulated Autophagy.
Third one, this is also a great one.
You start to notice a
tightening to your skin.
So we get this question a lot.
I got this just yesterday on my YouTube
lives on Thursday here, somebody
asked, Oh, I'm losing a ton of weight.
How do I tighten skin up?
And my response was like, well, A this
is amazing that you're losing weight.
But B autophagy more Autophagy
fasting really helps to repair
the collagen effect of skins.
It helps to tighten the skin up.
So make sure that you're stimulating
Autophagy at least 17 hours
of fasting on a regular basis.
So you may start to notice that
your skin is a lot tighter.
That's awesome.
That's autophagy . Okay.
The last one, also an amazing sign
of Autophagy that is not talked
about enough and that is you
start to watch cellulite, go away.
Okay, cellulite.
Let's talk about fat for a second.
Fat is where your body
stores, toxins and cellulite.
When we're getting that kind of
dipping effect to our skin into fat
can be a sign that there's a toxic
consequence to those, those fat cells.
So remember, Autophagy is self repair.
Your body is going to clean the cells up.
And in that cleaning, we are seeing here.
And again, I just want to point out that
we fast, close to a half a million people
every month on my channel here and on my,
in my reset or collaborative on Facebook.
In my Academy, we are getting so many
stories of healing, so many people that
are getting great results with fasting.
And I hear over and over and over again.
When I work on a Autophagy
fasting, the cellulite goes away.
So four things, you know, you're
in a Autophagy, you know, you've
primed to Autophagy when the blood
sugar goes down and ketones go up.
When you start losing more weight than
you really expected when your skin gets
a little tighter and then one of the
cellulite goes away who does want that?
That's the benefit of Autophagy fasting.
I hope that helps.
