this one thing could literally replace our entire medical system now I'm not talking about Emergency Care things like that I'm mainly talking about chronic disease I really looked at this topic from many different angles just posing this question what is the most powerful thing you can do for your health everyone can afford it it will produce the most weight loss of anything that you do it will fix a stubborn metabolism and that's called the set point so you might lose let's say 20 lbs but then you your body will not let you lose more than
that this particular thing will address that and fix that this Natural Therapy has the ability to fix your brain repair brain tissue it actually helps regrow your brain cells it increases your mood your cognitive function the effects of this therapy on your mitochondria are very similar to exercise can you guess what it is if you guess fasting you are correct if you did fasting your medical expenses will go way way down you're not starving your body you are just controlling when you eat and when you're not eating when I was first introduced to fasting I
really did not think anything about it I thought it was like what's that going to do it's not changing the calories that you're eating until I started looking at it especially from our history of how humans have developed because the root problem of over 80% of all diseases is insulin resistance so all you really need to know at this point is that too much insulin creates a lot of problems for your body so fasting fixes that problem so you have genes right now in your body to fix almost everything okay but the question is how
do you turn on those genes to fix things well there's certain triggers things that you can control lifestyle food not eating it's the absence of eating that triggers a lot of these survival genes so in this process of not eating your body converts over into burning fat and ketones so there's going to be a point where your body is now adapted to burning ketones and that takes sometimes like 3 days now another question I give a lot is how should someone fast if they're a woman versus a man and there's a really good book I
recommend I'll put the link down below it's entitled fast like a girl now because a woman goes through this whole monthly cycle you have to adjust the fasting schedule a little bit so in Dr Mindy's book to keep this really simple as soon as you have your period and the hormones are starting to build up between day 1 and day 10 is when you want to do some hardcore fasting because you have enough hormones to be able to afford to do fasting and this is the time you want to do fasting especially to lose weight
but as we get to day 20 okay so now we're on day 20 all the way to the end of the month that's when you don't want to fast there's already too much stress in the body you don't want to add fasting to alter those hormones but then as soon as you have your period the next 10 days you're right back on track that doesn't mean I recommend snacking maybe just three meals I think that would be sufficient so that's a real rough summary of her book you can get a lot more details if you
want to get it up I'll put the link down below if we're dealing with hormones these hormones are made out of cholesterol then that cholesterol is then turned into these steroid hormones out of all the hormones progesterone is probably one of the most potent Protectors of the brain when progesterone goes too low your brain is at risk so the whole point on that is just to make sure you have enough of the raw material and the raw material I'm talking about is cholesterol there is a lot of cholesterol in egg yolks in shellfish like shrimp
liver has cholesterol fatty cheese has cholesterol you also want to make sure that you really deal with this stress level because if the stress is really high during menopause what will happen is your adrenals will start stealing some of the raw material and take them away from progesterone and other hormones so doing things to reduce stress is super super important there's actually two co-actors that are really important that a lot of people people are missing and that would be magnesium and zinc what you need to know about magnesium is number one most people are deficient
number two it's almost impossible to test for it you can't test for it in the blood because most of it is inside the cell you have to do a very sophisticated test to measure it and most if not all doctors do not test for magnesium the one you want is magnesium glycinate before bed and you want at least 400 migrs now as far as zinc goes you need about 50 mg of zinc but if you had shellfish you can easily get your zinc especially oysters now a couple rules about fasting the rule of thumb is
don't eat if you're not hungry ride the wave go a little longer because if you were able to go 36 to even 72 hours of fasting you literally are going to generate immune stem cells that's huge so number one let your body tell you how long to fast if you do fasting and you feel like crap you need to eat I would say everyone could do this intermittent fasting but when we get into more prolonged fasting allow your body to tell you if it's working and also it really depends on what you're trying to solve
if you're trying to lose weight of course you want to fast a lot longer now there's also this topic that you may have heard when you do low carb your cortisol is going to increase there is no hardcore evidence that shows that cortisol is going to increase when you do fasting or on a low carb diet because that study was done on rats okay and yeah okay so if something works on rats it may work on humans but that is in the area of opinion it's not based on facts I have over 8,000 success stories
on my website from people doing this getting off medication to losing a ton of weight to sleeping better to getting rid of inflammation so how do you explain all that also I've talked to a lot of people who have done low carbon init fasting for many years I don't know if anyone who told me all of a sudden they started getting stressed out or they having stress problems at all also when you do fasting you're making your cells more sensitive to insulin and that alone is going to offset the the raising of cortisol because insulin
Now is working it's more efficient so there's two types of fasting I want to talk about you have water fasting so you're not eating food then you have something called a dry fast where you're not eating any food and you're not drinking any water now I looked into the dehydration genes so when you dehydrate yourself okay to a certain degree you have a series of genes that kick in or are expressed and in started looking at those genes and a lot of the functions have to do with hydration and keeping your body hydrated and not
letting too much fluid go out but one is enhanced weight loss this might be hard to believe but your fat can be converted to water if you take one pound of fat and you burn it with oxygen it'll turn into a little a little bit more than one pound of water so it's not that fat is saturated with water when you burn that fat it turns into water and this is really bizarre it's look it up it's totally true the point is we're not trying to dehydrate you we're just trying to control when you feed
the body water there's more antioxidants to develop in the brain you get enhanced autophagy so you get a deeper cleaning of the cells you get more detoxification from the liver as far as what I'm doing presently okay and I will switch it up occasionally but I used to fast from dinner all the way and just skip breakfast and have the first meal let's say a late lunch at 2: maybe 3: and then also have a dinner now what I'm doing is I'm actually consuming a breakfast in the morning sometimes it's at 9:30 sometimes it's at
10:00 sometimes 11:00 and then I'll also have a lunch at 1 sometimes my second meal is at 2 but what I've done is I'm feeding my body more when I need more energy which is in the first part of the day versus later at night I don't need all that energy I don't want to go to bed with a big meal on my stomach now if you do fasting and you notice your hair is falling out or you're losing your cycle then you need to look at what you're eating more closely chances are you're not
getting enough protein and I'm talking about the highest quality protein that you can get and that would be grass-fed red meat I would start to beef up that no pun intended to the point where your body can get those amino acids and plus with the red meat comes all the B vitamins the trace minerals everything you need for hair growth if you're not getting enough sea salt when you're doing fasting you're not going to be able to sleep as well so don't forget about that most people need about a level teaspoon of sea salt every
single day sleep is really really important too if you don't feel like you're getting enough sleep you're going to be hungrier and for some people that just can't sleep when they're doing fasting at that point I do recomend recommend taking melatonin maybe you work up to 5 Mig and eventually up to 10 mg and you take that before bed all right so now that you know a little bit more about fasting if you want to know what to eat you should watch this video right here check it out
