if you haven't been told this you are living in a miracle and your cells are
ready to heal you your cells are ready to be their best but they need you to understand
the concept of autophagy and know how to stimulate autophagy so you can turn that healing effect on
Dr. Mindy here and on this video I am gonna do two things for you one I wanna talk about why fasting
speeds healing up and so many of you guys are experiencing it and two if you are familiar with
our fast training weeks this video I'm gonna talk about the fast that we'll be doing for the next
fast training week which will absolutely speed the healing process up and help you lose weight
I want to show you why that principle works so let me just start off by saying welcome to those
of you that are new subscribe hit the notification button and those of you that share the videos I'm
always grateful as I am on a mission to make sure that we get a million people fasting this year so
the world can be a healthier and happier place so welcome everybody excited to have you here
okay I'm going to dive in to answering the question why fasting speeds up healing first
and then I want to talk about what we will be doing for our fast training week next week
and those of you that love the information we put out I do have a companion guide so just
put companion guide in the notes it's free and everything we're doing for fast training week
next week will be in that women if you guys need more assistance with fasting and your hormones
we are about to start a new reset in may and it's all geared around teaching women how to fast
for her hormonal needs for her cycle so just put may reset in your comments and we'll send you
a link to that okay let's answer this question about fasting speeding up healing so there are
two mechanisms well there's probably more than that but there's two that I like to speak about
that happen when you start to fast that makes your healing power get turned on in your body
it supercharges your body so the first one we know are ketones when you are operating from this fat
burning place your body makes ketones ketones go up into the brain and they start to heal
neurons that may have been injured but the second principle that I think is so important
that we talk about is this concept of autophagy so remember autophagy is a naturally occurring state
inside your cells where you trigger your cells and you tell your cells to start repairing themselves
so if you just stop for a moment you think about how powerful that concept is you are going to
create with fasting a scenario where you will speed healing up inside the cell by stimulating
autophagy now you will see as we go through the basics of autophagy over the next week there are
a lot of ways to stimulate autophagy on this video I'm going to talk about some of the foods that we
now know will stimulate autophagy but we also know fasting stimulates autophagy there are certain
exercises that stimulate autophagy when you sleep you're stimulating autophagy so when we want to
speed healing up when we want to repair the body we want to look at all of these incredible ways
we have to stimulate autophagy so that the body can self-repair if you are if you haven't been
told this you are living in a miracle and your cells are ready to heal you your cells are ready
to be their best but they need you to understand the concept of autophagy and know how to stimulate
autophagy so you can turn that healing effect on so fasting is my favorite way to do this and there
are some key principles you're going to apply next week to stimulate autophagy the first principle is
your fasting window so next week we are going to be fasting every single day for 17 hours
why 17 because the research shows that at 17 hours without food you start to turn on autophagy now I
want you to realize that this is like a dimmer switch it's not like the other switches I talk
about with fasting, this is where we start to slowly turn up the dial on autophagy that begins
at 17 hours what will signal autophagy to get turned on is your blood sugar going down
and ketones starting to go up so if you want to turn on this healing power 17 hours now there's
a lot of study and debates and conversations around well what's the peak of autophagy how long
do you have to fast to get there so I have videos on that next week that I'll be talking about
but for this fast training week we're going to start with 17 those of you that are really
experts at fasting you could even go up to 24 but I want you to start 17 hours of fasting
second concept of autophagy that we're going to apply next week is that when your blood
sugar goes up you can often kick yourself out of autophagy so what we like to do in autophagy fast
training weeks is we like to have you fast for 17 hours and then break that fast with fat so
you're looking at an avocado you guys know I'm a big fan of keto cups you're looking at ghee
and nut butter you can put some you know big douse of MCT oil or Andreas seed oils on a spoon
so that you can start to just break it with fat and the reason for that is fat will stabilize your
blood sugar and kill your hunger hormone so if we know autophagy gets turned on at 17 hours we break
our fast with fat we kill hunger we don't bring the blood sugar up now we're still in autophagy
but we're not hungry we're feeling good and we're still able to eat something so break it with fat
the second principle that we use in autophagy fasting is we keep our protein under 20 grams
so the cells get autophagy turns off when we eat more than 20 grams of protein so it doesn't
matter if it's animal protein or not but for the fast training week next week we're doing 20
grams of protein keeping it under 20 grams now let's walk you through this idea so we've got you
fasting for 17 hours we've turned on autophagy love that we have you breaking your fast with
fat but your blood sugar stayed the same so now you're 18 19 20 hours in you're still in autophagy
and then if you do not raise your protein over 20 grams you will still stay in autophagy
and you can be inautophagy all next week and so you're it think of it as you stay in this healing
of effect for five days, that's incredible to your body, it's incredible to your cells
so that's why we use those principles the last principle I'll tell you that is also important is
keeping your carbohydrates under 50 grams and the reason for that is that if you go over 15 grams
of carbohydrates you tend to move yourself back to sugar burner and you tend to spike your blood
sugar when you go back to sugar burner and you spike your blood sugar you're now out of autophagy
so the principles for next fast training week to speed this healing process up inside your body
is to keep you in autophagy for five days now I want to add in two other pieces on this video that
I found that is really interesting that will accelerate your autophagy experience next week
one I want you to lean into some of the drinks that you might already be using that will be
helpful to keep you an autophagy MCT oil is one of them, I like dave's bulletproof C8 oil we'll
put links it's in our companion guide so just put companion guide there'll be links for that you're
going to want to put a tablespoon of that in your coffee in the morning organic mold-free coffee
can also stimulate autophagy so you got MCT oil going in your coffee you're now accelerating
this healing effect now what if you don't like coffee you could do green tea or bergamot tea
bergamot tea is in earl grey tea make sure it's organic again you put your MCT oil in there and
now you are increasing autophagy okay so we're leaning into all these concepts for five days
the last thing I'm going to tell you is that there are some foods that will help with autophagy
and they all fall under the category of spermidine foods not this has nothing to do with sperm
it's pretty funny that it's called spermidine but there's a lot of really cool spermidine foods
let me read them to you soybeans make sure they're organic lentils green peas aged
chi cheese makes raw would be better potatoes chicken pears all kinds of mushrooms and what
we're finding is that those foods are helping stimulate autophagy and we see it specifically
in liver dysfunction liver cancer stagnation of liver fatty litter liver disease that when we use
fasting when we use the principles of autophagy fasting that I just mentioned and we lean into
these spermidine foods then we start to accelerate the healing response inside your liver so and
that's just one example so that's next week we're gonna tap into this healing effect of autophagy
let me know put in the comments if you're joining us for fast training week and as
always do not give up on yourself you're a miracle and autophagy will help you discover
that
