author and nutritional and functional health

0:19

expert, Dr. Mindy Pelz. In

0:22

this excerpt, you'll learn about the

0:24

powerful healing mechanisms within your body

0:26

that are triggered by fasting. Dr.

0:28

Mindy explains how fasting can activate

0:31

the body's self-repair mechanisms such as

0:33

ketosis, growth hormone upregulation, gut repair,

0:35

immune system reboots, and stem cell

0:37

activation. Now, you can learn

0:40

even more about the many health benefits

0:42

1:05

fasting heals the body. I'm

1:09

going to let you in on a secret

1:11

very few people are talking about. Your

1:15

body knows exactly how to

1:17

heal itself. Think

1:20

about that for a moment. You

1:23

are living in the most

1:25

intelligent piece of machinery that

1:27

was ever created. You

1:30

literally came pre-programmed with

1:32

thousands of self-repair mechanisms,

1:36

healing mechanisms that doctors and

1:38

researchers alike have tried to

1:41

completely understand and are still

1:43

baffled by the wisdom that lives

1:45

within us. To

1:48

truly understand the self-healing powers of

1:50

your body, it's critical

1:52

to get to know yourself at the

1:54

cellular level. Let

1:56

me walk you through that for a moment. cellular

6:00

processes that fires up healing in

6:02

your body. Many

6:05

think they would feel worse as they fast. Some

6:08

think they may even die from fasting for

6:10

a few days. But the

6:12

opposite is occurring. With

6:14

each hour you fast, more healing

6:16

switches get turned on. Why

6:19

does this happen? What does

6:21

the body know about the need to become

6:23

stronger in the fasted state? The

6:27

best way to answer those questions is

6:29

to go back to our primal days.

6:32

When our primal ancestors woke up every morning,

6:34

they had to go forage for food. They

6:38

had no refrigerators, they couldn't head out

6:40

to their favorite breakfast spot, and they

6:42

definitely didn't have a phone they programmed

6:44

to door dash food to their front

6:46

door. They had to

6:48

go hunt down food every

6:51

single day. Our

6:54

body's number one concern is

6:56

survival. So when

6:59

our cave ancestors woke up with

7:01

low blood sugar but needed to

7:03

go run long distances to hunt

7:05

food down, they required another fuel

7:07

source. Our bodies

7:09

came equipped with a backup fuel source

7:11

for these moments. It's

7:13

called the ketogenic energy system. When

7:17

in the fasted state with blood

7:19

sugar levels dropping, our bodies switch

7:21

over to this primitive energy system

7:24

to make a substrate called a

7:26

ketone. Ketones

7:28

power up our brains, supercharge

7:30

our mitochondria, turn

7:33

on our feel-good neurotransmitters, and

7:35

give us that superhuman feeling. Why

7:39

would our bodies need this kind of fuel? One

7:42

simple answer. We needed

7:45

the power to go find food. That's

7:48

how the cave people survived the harsh

7:50

conditions in which they lived. Prior

7:54

To the recent fasting craze, Ketones were

7:56

really given a bad rap in the

7:58

health world. Primarily

8:00

because they were associated with the

8:02

term called cheeto acidosis which can

8:04

be deadly for diabetics. Yes,

8:07

The presence of large amount a key tones.

8:10

Somewhere. Around twelve Point

8:12

Zero Millennials, In

8:14

a diabetic body is a concern.

8:18

But. The kittens that are t

8:20

friends relied on was associated with

8:22

what we called nutritional teaches us.

8:25

Meaning. When you go with out nutrition

8:27

for a short period of time, Dropping.

8:30

Your blood sugar. Your. Body

8:32

will switch over to utilize the

8:34

secondary fuel source. In.

8:37

Order to make this fuel source,

8:39

Your body burns. Fact. Have

8:41

flippin' cool is that. So.

8:44

You get supercharged. While

8:46

your body burns, that. Can.

8:49

You see why so many people

8:51

are crazy about making she turns.

8:55

Sustain. Primarily intermittent fasting.

8:58

Is your door in to Cheetos? Intermittent.

9:02

Fasting means only eating drain a

9:04

specific window of time. Though.

9:07

As little as thirteen hours without food

9:09

in your body will switch over to

9:11

this alternate fuel source. Burning.

9:13

Fat. To. Make ketone. Although.

9:17

Fasting as an ancient healing strategy

9:19

used by many for centuries. The.

9:22

Recent praise round fast enough sparked

9:24

a massive influx of research on

9:27

what exactly is happening in our

9:29

bodies the longer we go. Without

9:31

said. Let me

9:33

share with you what this exciting research

9:35

is proving to us. Thirteen.

9:39

To fifteen hours without sued. Your.

9:42

Body not only begins to make

9:44

see tones, but it up regulates

9:46

growth hormone to help burn more

9:48

fat. For tetons. Plus.

9:50

It puts a pause on the

9:52

aging process. at

9:54

thirteen hours fasted we also

9:57

see other hormones rise like

9:59

testosterone 17

10:02

hours of fasting and your body

10:04

not only keeps burning fat and

10:06

upregulating hormone production, it

10:09

stimulates a cellular process

10:11

known as autophagy. Autophagy

10:14

is where the intelligence inside the cell kicks

10:16

in and starts cleaning that

10:18

cell up, removing worn

10:21

out cellular parts, killing

10:23

pathogens like bacteria and viruses

10:25

that might have entered the

10:27

cell and fueling the

10:29

mitochondria so it will make more energy

10:31

for your survival. At

10:34

this length fast, the intelligence within

10:36

also sheds what is known as

10:38

senescent cells. These

10:41

are old aging cells that no longer work

10:43

at their best. Your

10:45

body is so smart that

10:47

it knows it needs to have

10:49

all cells working at their best

10:51

and in full energy production so

10:54

you can go hunt food down. Once

10:58

autophagy is stimulated, your inner intelligence

11:00

will get rid of the cells

11:02

that are slowing the body down,

11:05

removing these aging cells from your

11:07

system. 24

11:10

hours of fasting, your brilliant

11:12

body begins to repair your gut

11:14

sending in stem cells into the

11:17

intestinal lining of the gut to

11:19

repair any damage that poor diet,

11:22

antibiotics or stress may have

11:24

caused. This

11:27

leaves you with a better gut terrain

11:29

for absorption of vitamins and

11:31

minerals and the production of

11:33

neurotransmitters like serotonin. 36

11:38

hours of fasting, your body now

11:40

goes looking for the sugar it stored years

11:42

ago and it will find it

11:44

in the fat cells. In

11:46

particular, the fat cells you villainize

11:48

when you look in the mirror.

11:52

It Also will burn the visceral

11:54

fat that is around your vital

11:56

organs and belly, improving your longevity.

12:00

Forty. Eight hours of fasting and

12:02

your whole deal to mean system

12:05

gets repaired and new. Don't mean

12:07

receptor sites are created. Giving.

12:10

You the neurochemical arsenal to make

12:12

and use dopa mean more readily.

12:15

In a Doberman saturated world

12:17

where so many are addicted

12:19

to technology, Social. Media

12:22

likes and follows and the over

12:24

abundance of suit. A

12:26

forty eight hour fast can reset

12:29

their dopamine system. Giving.

12:31

Them Joy. At.

12:33

This hour of fasting are

12:35

intelligent bodies also start making

12:37

more antioxidants. T nutrients

12:39

that are needed to slow down the

12:41

aging process. Seventy.

12:45

Two hours of fasting. Yep,

12:47

that's the read. A is

12:49

not eating. Your whole immune

12:51

system reboots itself. Old.

12:54

White blood cells that fight off in

12:56

sections are removed. And new,

12:59

energized white blood cells appear ready

13:01

to take on any foreign invader

13:03

that comes your way. You.

13:06

Also begin to get a surge of

13:08

anti aging stem cells at seventy two

13:10

hours. Stem. Cells ourselves that

13:12

conceal injured body parts. And.

13:14

Make them new again. This.

13:17

Is fabulous for not only those

13:19

who want more anti aging remedies.

13:21

But. Chronic muskal scouts or conditions can

13:23

be healed with a burst of new

13:25

stem cells. In today's

13:28

world, stem cells are all the rage

13:30

for aging bodies costing tens of thousands

13:32

of dollars. But. You can

13:34

get stem cells for free. Just.

13:37

By fasting for seventy two hours.

13:40

Can. You see why so many have

13:42

gravitated to train their bodies to fast.

13:45

If you haven't gone without sued for

13:47

those periods of time, You. Have

13:50

never tapped into the cellular

13:52

healing processes that are living

13:54

inside of you. If.

13:57

You think about our cave ancestors. They need

13:59

to gets. Longer as they fast

14:01

and not weaker. If

14:03

they perished in the absence

14:05

of food, are human species

14:07

would not have survived. As

14:10

you move through the different tracks and

14:12

14:15

yourself is. What? Lanes Fast is

14:17

14:21

exactly how to determine the lane fast

14:24

you would benefit most from. Plus.
