okay there's something really interesting that I do with my academy members
we do in our toxin reset I did in my clinic for years when I was seeing patients one-on-one
and that is come up with unique protocols that will help very specific conditions
and I personally love stacking lots of different bio hacks to get the body to heal at a faster
rate we call it a multi-therapeutic approach we definitely have entered into a world where we
think we have one problem one diagnosis so there's one solution but when you start to use fasting and
building a fasting lifestyle as a tool for healing I want you to realize that there's often more than
one tool you need to put together to be able to get the result that you are looking for so
on this video I want to talk about what like if you and I were sitting at a consultation together
and you were like I'm suffering with depression and anxiety what can I do what fast can I do then
I would give you this protocol okay the first concept that is the foundation of this protocol
and a lot of you guys here know this but for the newbies is you have to vary your fasts so
the variation that works really well it for people with depression and anxiety is a
version of a 4-2-1 protocol now sit tight for a moment I don't wanna lose you
but four days a week you are gonna go 15 hours or longer you can go longer if you want
you're going to fast 15 hours and when you eat you are going to eat a ketobiotic meal
now those of you that have been around for a while you know what ketobiotic is it is a
term I came up with years ago and it's one of the best foundational ways to eat if you're new let me
explain what it is so ketobiotic is keeping your your carbohydrates your net carbs under 50 grams
so you might have to calculate we use carb manager that's what we we like in our community you might
have chronometer you might have another my fitness pal those are all great but you're going to
keep your carbohydrate load under 50 grams net carbs net means you've taken the fiber out
okay then you're going to keep your protein under 50 grams now i encourage you to make sure you're
eating clean protein not toxic rich protein so free of hormones antibiotic-free protein this is
going to be very important if you're a vegetarian just make sure that your protein source is clean
okay and then the third part of ketobiotic is you're going to eat as much fat as you want
over 60% of your food that day should come from good fat the other part of ketobiotic
is those net carbs that I explained we want most of them to come from nature's carbs so I want you
eating more green leafy vegetables I want you doing the 3 Ps more more sauerkrauts so
you want your carbs to come from more vegetables and fruits not from as many starchy foods like
bread and pastas even if they're grain-free I want them to come more from nature's foods
so for four days out of the week you're going to fast for 15 hours and you're going to follow the
principles of ketobiotic two days a week I want you to stretch your fast to 24 hours the reason
for this is because I want you to reset your gut by using the principles and the studies we know
that when you fast 24 hours you reboot intestinal stem cells in your gut that help repair your gut
so I want you to use that as a tool so that we can get more dopamine and GABA production
now if those two days you want to do a 48-hour fast that's also an option so you could put those
two days together and do a 48-hour fast and then one day a week I don't want you to fast
and I don't want you to do keto on this day I don't want you to eat the standard American
diet I still want you to stay away from those three horrible ingredients we've talked about
and I want you to really on that day there's no macro counting I want you to just explore nature's
carbs so the only rule for this day is that it has to have come from nature the planet earth had
to have grown these foods and this includes beef and chicken it includes fish so if you eat
animal meat then just make sure that you're eating clean animal meat but there is no
processed grains of any kind even your yummy gluten-free muffin I want you looking at your
food and saying if it came from the ground I can eat it so breads pastas cakes cookies
even if they're organic even if they're gluten free no you're not eating those on the this day
you're going into fruits if you want 10 bananas you can have 10 bananas if you want five sweet
potatoes you can have five sweet potatoes but you are leaning into nature's foods on
this one feast day and the purpose behind that is to really help these bacteria grow
so that we can bring your dopamine and GABA levels up so let me repeat that really quick four days a
week you're gonna do 15 hour fast with ketobiotic two days a week you're going to do a 24 hour fast
and you'll break that with ketobiotic or you will do a 48-hour fast and break your
48-hour fast with ketobiotic and one day you are not fasting but you are not eating any refined
flour sugars you are doing nature's food now last thing there are some really
cool hacks that you can use in this protocol so that was just a fasting and food protocol
there are other things you can add in if you really want to amplify happiness so go back
and watch the video I did on my three unusual fasts so make sure I call this the 3 F's
make sure you're staying away from that 3 F's and follow that fast so go watch that video
if you guys are not familiar with hyperbaric oxygen hyperbaric oxygen has a tremendous amount
of research showing that it lowers cortisol and it increases pregnenolone which is a precursor
to progesterone which calms you, I also want you to zone in on how do you sleep more so make sure
you're getting good sleep and then of course exercise keeps you happy specifically exercise
moving in a forward direction it calms the brain so if you take the 4-2-1 and you mix that with
those other hacks I kid you not you don't need the people around you to behave a certain way
you don't need your circumstances to change if you change your physiology I promise you the world
around you will change and those of you that have had that experience with fasting please leave it
in the comments so that people in this community can see that that is true so there you go there's
our consultation if you asked me how do I use a fasting variation to get out of depression
anxiety that would be a huge step forward in bringing neuro inflammation down of the brain
repairing your microbiome and getting you more dopamine and GABA as always you guys rock
don't give up on yourself and know that you were born in a miracle
it's just that nobody's taught you how to access it so really excited you're here
