When you go through it yourself you figure things out pretty quickly.” (28:30) “Periodic fast, as I teach it, you get more hormone-sensitive, you get more hormone optimization, you get more autophagy, getting rid of the bad cells and upregulating the good cells, so over time your body heals naturally.” (37:59) “Feast/famine cycles, monthly, weekly, seasonally, changing it up, it works.” (47:42) “The body wants to do one thing, survive.
