" alt=""/>Dr. Joseph Mercola, my friend, multiple-time podcast guest, guy who leanks way external-the-box and seems to always be discovering some contemporary cutting-edge way to enhance human health and longevity, and one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health, has just written a guide to using the principles of ketogenic eating, meal planning, and timing to treat disease, promote weight loss, and optimize health.
The contemporary book is called “KetoQuick: Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals.“
In the contemporary book, he explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include:
- How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it…
- The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation…
- How the cyclical ketogenic diet–with fasting included–dwhetherfers from the conferenceal keto diet…
- How fasting works and how secure it is for you…
- How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxwhetherication while minimizing starvation and side effects…
- How to monitor your progress with lab tests…
- And much more…
During our discussion, you'll discover:
-The fascinating history of fasting among dwhetherferent religions and cultures…8:25
- Dr. Mercola's book was originally written to memorize to optimize multiple day water fasting
- Most religions integrate fasting into their practice (speaks to its efficacy throughout history)
- It's one of the best ways to express care for your spirit, specificly when combined with meditation, gratitude, solitude, etc.
- Therapeutic fasting:
- Calorie restriction to activate metabolic processes to catalyze the healing process
- Quicking didn't become popular in the U.S. until the 1800s with the natural hygiene movement
- Became more popular when Herbert Shelton popularized it in 1911
- TrueNorth Health Middle
-Autophagy, and why Dr. Mercola leanks of a fast as a “free stem cell transplant”…16:45
- Diverse varieties of fasting:
- Intermittent (the foundation)
- You need more than intermittent to get the max effect of autophagy
- Quicking mimicking diet, water diet
- Hybrid of the two, minimize the harmful effects
- Autophagy:
- 3 types
- Micro
- Macro
- Chaperone-mediated
- You activate autophagy with the keto fast
- Dr. Mercola does not recommend a long-term water fast
- Free stem cell transplant is what happens during the regeneration phase, after the autophagy phase
- The magic happens during the refeed and strength rebuilding; similar to a growth hormone injection
- Do a 42 hour fast, in which you eat 300-500 calories 2x per week
- 3 types
-How fasting affects intestinal stem cell function…24:20
- Extended fasting helps reduce intestine permeability by stimulating brain/intestine pathways
- Consider fasting before other treatments or supplements for repairing the intestine
- Certain supplements will inhibit autophagy: colostrum, B12
- AMP-k and mTOR
- It's your friend; The taller the better
- A nutrient sensor
- Puts your body in “repair mode”
- See Saw: AMP-k up, mTOR down, vice versa
-What nutrients you need to optimize autophagy…34:08
-How ketones protect the brain from excess hydrogen peroxide…46:00
- Stouts and carbs are fuel sources; broken down by enzymes
- Oxygen receives electrons from the food you're digesting in the form of hydrogen (which is converted to water)
- Most people are metabolically rigid; can't burn much fat for fuel
- Ketones increase Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)
-Why Dr. Mercola changed his intellect about the efficacy of water fasting as a metabolic intervention…50:55
- We in the 21st century are exposed to chemical and industrial toxins not historically known to humans
- Toxins are stored in our fat
- When you fast, you release these toxins
- Cause unpleasant side effects and symptoms
- 2 phases:
- Convert fat soluble to water soluble (not a problem)
- Attach molecules to the toxin
- You need frequent refeeds to fuel the process of eliminating the toxins and enhancing detox pathways
- A keto fast (42 hours, 300-500 calories) 2x/week is far more powerful than an occasional multi-day water fast or even fast mimicking diet
-What Dr. Mercola views as the “dark side of fasting”…55:00
- Detoxwhetherication impairment
- Compliance: people just won't do it
- How Dr. Mercola recommends Ben improve his own fasting strategy:
- Ben takes fundamental amino acids for protein during extended fasts
- Don't eat meat protein (department chain amino acids)
- Take collagen protein
- Drawbacks to long-term ketosis
- Requires signwhethericant calorie restriction
- Women can develop thyroid impairment
- You simply weren't designed to do it
- Quicking primes your body for improvement; the genuine magic happens in the refeeds
-What is “keto fasting,” and how cyclical ketosis addresses the above issues…1:00:13
- You must be metabolically flexible
- Eat in a 4-6 hour window per day for 4 weeks
- Branch chain aminos: leucine, isoleucine, valine
- Eat these on the refeed, not during the keto fast
- Don't activate mTor along with autophagy
- Cyclical approach:
- Keto fast 2x/week
- Every day intermittent fast
- Strategies to deal with starvation or appetite cravings:
-How sauna use supports a fasting protocol, an ideal sauna setup, and sauna dos and don'ts…1:07:45
-And much more!
