Up to 70 billion cells need to be recycled each day; autophagy is the process for this to happen. How autophagy works (refrigerator analogy) An alarming stastisic about Americans, and why most are in a constant fed state, never experiencing autophagy. mTor (anabolic growth) vs autophagy (cellular breakdown and repair), and how they have an inverted relationship The problems that can occur when you are in a constant fed state The number 2 benefit: rise in stem cells. How a rise in stem cells help to heal old injuries (knee pain, back pain, etc) The number 3 benefit: A boost of ketones. How ketones protect the genes we are born with. How ketones down regulate inflammation, allowing our hormones to communicate to our cells. How ketones help you achieve the ultimate goal of metabolic flexibility. Why ketones are a cleaner fuel source than glucose (firewood vs gas stove analogy) The keto diet turns on the SIRT1 longevity gene The number 4 benefit: Energy diversion. How fasting provides you with energy and blood flow to heal the body, and crush the day. Study by Dr. Zach Bush which showed it took 14 hours to digest a standard American diet meal. The number 5 benefit: Hormone optimization. How our hormones and our cells communicate, and why having more sensitive hormones through fasting has amazing benefits for us. How inflammation through being in a constant fed state creates cellular inflammation, and results in our hormones not being able to communicate to our cells. Why we don't have a lack of hormones problem, we have an inflammation problem. The number 5 benefit: Resets the microbiome. The problem of leaky gut, and how fasting gives your digestive system a break. How a compromised digestive system doesn't allow the nutrition you eat to be assimilated properly. The number 7 benefit: Resets the DNA, turns off bad genes. How genes work, and how we control them.   // R E S O U R C E S   7 Week Beyond Fasting Program w/ Ben Azadi: http://www.ketokampfasting.com   Get my FREE Keto Kickstart Guide: http://www.ketokickstartguide.com   LowCarb USA Boca Raton, Florida January 2020 conference: https://www.lowcarbusa.org/low-carb-events/se-2020/ Use KetoKamp at checkout for $100 off your ticket price.   YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp    Beyond Fasting book by Dr. Daniel Pompa:  http://bit.ly/2XhbZQh     [VIDEO] 7 Amazing Benefits of Fasting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAoHwdYDjec   [VIDEO] 13 Ways to Boost Autophagy Without Fasting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6lxK3NJpEA      My Favorite Keto Coffee Blend: http://www.ketokampblend.com     My Favorite Keto Beef Jerky & More: http://www.paleovalley.com Use coupon code ketokamp10 for 10% off    Join The Keto Kamp Inner Circle: https://www.ketokamp.com    YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp    This podcast is for information purposes only.
