Fasting
.
Today's talk is very controversial, okay. You're not going to get a cardiologist talking about not eating and fasting. So this is a little unusual but this is breaking ground. Because we're always looking for new ways to
- treat old diseases
- treating diseases
- for illness
nature has to build something in there.
- People got ill
- people got better
Some people of course died, but there must be mechanisms built into the body that make you better. And what i'm trying to do here is to tap into nature to see if there's anything in fasting. First I heard about it, going to medical school. I said
- fasting can't be
- fasting can't work
- fasting obviously does nothing.
- People don't eat because they didn't have food.
- The faster because the priests told them not too fast.
Pembicaraan hari ini sangat kontroversial. Kalian tidak akan mendapatkan ahli jantung berbicara tentang tidak makan dan puasa. Jadi ini sedikit tidak biasa tetapi ini adalah terobosan. Karena kita selalu mencari cara baru untuk
- Mengobati penyakit lama
- Mengobati penyakit
- Untuk penyakit
Sesuatu yang alami harus berperan sesuatu di sana.
- Orang-orang sakit
- Orang menjadi lebih baik
Beberapa orang tentu saja meninggal, tetapi harus ada mekanisme yang dibangun ke dalam tubuh yang membuat kita lebih baik. Dan apa yang saya coba lakukan di sini adalah memanfaatkan alam untuk melihat apakah ada sesuatu dalam puasa. Pertama saya mendengarnya, pergi ke sekolah kedokteran. Saya bilang
- Puasa tidak bisa
- Puasa tidak bisa bekerja
- Puasa jelas tidak melakukan apa-apa.
- Orang tidak makan karena mereka tidak punya makanan.
- Semakin cepat karena para imam mengatakan kepada mereka tidak terlalu cepat.
They were fasting because they had seven children and food for only five. But the more i studied it and looking at the biochemistry being a scientist, I got to substantiate a lot of the things that I say. And if I'm going to look at the mechanisms, I can't just come up with them. I gotta look at the biochemistry behind it.
So what I've done here, is I've made a summary pretty much. And I have no slides today because I was in surgery right until late afternoon. I never got a chance to finish off my slides. But I promise you all, that just like the last two ones, this is being recorded. And we'll put the slides in later on maybe in the next week and then we'll put it up as a proper slide presentation with the lecture in the background. So it'll be just like the previous ones. I hope you all enjoyed the previous two that are already on YouTube. Yeah thank you
Mereka berpuasa karena mereka memiliki tujuh anak dan makanan hanya untuk lima. Tetapi semakin saya mempelajarinya dan melihat biokimia sebagai seorang ilmuwan, saya harus membuktikan banyak hal yang saya katakan. Dan jika saya akan melihat mekanismenya, saya tidak bisa begitu saja membuatnya. Saya harus melihat biokimia di baliknya.
Jadi apa yang saya lakukan di sini, adalah saya telah membuat ringkasan cukup banyak. Dan saya tidak memiliki slide hari ini karena saya menjalani operasi sampai sore hari. Saya tidak pernah mendapat kesempatan untuk menyelesaikan slide saya. Tapi saya berjanji kepada Anda semua, bahwa seperti dua yang terakhir, ini sedang direkam. Dan kami akan memasang slide nanti mungkin di minggu depan dan kemudian kami akan memasangnya sebagai presentasi slide yang tepat dengan kuliah di latar belakang. Jadi akan sama seperti yang sebelumnya. Saya harap kalian semua menikmati dua sebelumnya yang sudah ada di YouTube. Ya terima kasih
Mental Clarity
.
So with fasting if we look back in history, we've been fasting all along. And Socrates was us why he fasted. And he fasted for mental clarity. So do you get mental Clarity when you fast? Well he's certainly did. And yet the prevailing wisdom is that when you're fast
- Oh I'm going to get sleepy
- I'm going to get tired
- I need energy.
And eat energy bars. There's those little drinks, energy drinks. And when you drink that you're supposed to get energy. And it's not true. When you go and take a candy, or an energy bar you suddenly feel great, that's because you're a junkie. You just got your high, you just took a shot that boosted your brain's dopamine levels. And you went to the reward center. And that's how you felt better, because you are a sugar Junkie. That's why you felt good.
Jadi dengan puasa jika kita melihat kembali sejarah, kita telah berpuasa selama ini. Dan Socrates adalah kita mengapa dia berpuasa. Dan dia berpuasa untuk kejernihan mental. Jadi, apakah Anda mendapatkan Kejelasan mental saat Anda berpuasa? Yah dia pasti melakukannya. Namun kebijaksanaan yang berlaku adalah bahwa ketika Anda cepat
- Oh aku akan mengantuk
- Aku akan lelah
- Saya butuh energi.
Dan makan energy bar. Ada minuman kecil itu, minuman energi. Dan ketika Anda minum itu Anda seharusnya mendapatkan energi. Dan itu tidak benar. Ketika Anda pergi dan mengambil permen, atau bar energi Anda tiba-tiba merasa hebat, itu karena Anda seorang pecandu. Anda baru saja mabuk, Anda baru saja mengambil suntikan yang meningkatkan kadar dopamin otak Anda. Dan Anda pergi ke pusat hadiah. Dan begitulah perasaanmu lebih baik, karena kamu adalah seorang sugar Junkie. Itu sebabnya Anda merasa baik.
Because biochemically there's no parameter that is measured in that patient to say that yup he's lacking energy. And now he took the shot whatever it was whether it's those energy shots or energy bar. And now he feels great, so something's changed. None this has been shown in animals in human beings clearly. There's no biochemical change going on none whatsoever. It's all in here it's mental.
Karena secara biokimia tidak ada parameter yang diukur pada pasien itu untuk mengatakan bahwa yup dia kekurangan energi. Dan sekarang dia mengambil bidikan apa pun itu apakah itu tembakan energi atau bilah energi. Dan sekarang dia merasa hebat, jadi ada sesuatu yang berubah. Tidak ada ini yang telah ditunjukkan pada hewan pada manusia dengan jelas. Tidak ada perubahan biokimia yang terjadi sama sekali. Itu semua di sini itu mental.
Sugar Junkie
.
So what happens is that when you're a sugar Junkie? Whenever you eat sugar or simple carbohydrates and you get that high it goes to the dopamine center in the brain produces all that doping reward Center.
- And you get addicted to it,
- and then you need it,
- and then you feel better when you take it
So when you are fasting
- also you're feeling tired
- and fatigued
- and or it's there are reasons for that.
But taking another shot of sugar or taking another candy is not the solution, it's nothing to do with that, It's the reward center. And eventually after a few days, you will come out of that habit just like you take an alcoholic and stick him in a room. And he can't drink anymore. After a few days, you won't crave anymore. It's your craving. So one thing is a biochemical craving the second thing is your pavlovian reflexes. Where it's 12 o'clock you've got to go down to the doctor's lounge, and you've got to eat.
Are you hungry? no I'm not hungry but I gotta eat it's time to eat. Um it's evening I have to eat, I'm not hungry but I have to eat.
Jadi apa yang terjadi ketika Anda seorang pecandu gula? Setiap kali Anda makan gula atau karbohidrat sederhana dan Anda mendapatkan setinggi itu pergi ke pusat dopamin di otak menghasilkan semua Pusat hadiah doping itu.
- Dan kamu kecanduan itu,
- Dan kemudian kamu membutuhkannya,
- Dan kemudian kamu merasa lebih baik ketika kamu mengambilnya
Jadi ketika kamu sedang berpuasa
- Juga kamu merasa lelah
- Dan nyeri
- Dan atau ada alasan untuk itu.
Tapi mengambil suntikan gula lagi atau mengambil permen lain bukanlah solusinya, itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan itu, Ini adalah pusat hadiah. Dan akhirnya setelah beberapa hari, Anda akan keluar dari kebiasaan itu seperti Anda mengambil seorang pecandu alkohol dan memasukkannya ke dalam sebuah ruangan. Dan dia tidak bisa minum lagi. Setelah beberapa hari, Anda tidak akan mendambakan lagi. Itu keinginanmu. Jadi satu hal adalah keinginan biokimia, hal kedua adalah refleks pavlovian Anda. Di mana jam 12 Anda harus pergi ke ruang dokter, dan Anda harus makan.
Apakah kamu lapar? Tidak, saya tidak lapar tetapi saya harus makan sudah waktunya untuk makan. Um ini malam aku harus makan, aku tidak lapar tapi aku harus makan.
Listening to the Body
.
So a lot of our behavior is incongruent of physiology.
- Our brain has interfered
- our mind has interfered with our body
And we stopped listening to our body, why did we stop listening to the body? because you were told to stop listening to your body. By who? were you told
- the press the media,
- people around you,
- maybe your parents,
- maybe your friends,
that you got to eat five times a day. Five times a day maybe six times a day you're gonna eat. This knowledge is totally false. You don't have to eat six times a day. You don't need to have that calorie input all the time, this is not right.
Jadi banyak perilaku kita yang tidak sesuai dengan fisiologi.
- Otak kita telah ikut campur
- Pikiran kita telah mengganggu tubuh kita
Dan kami berhenti mendengarkan tubuh kami, mengapa kami berhenti mendengarkan tubuh? Karena kamu disuruh berhenti mendengarkan tubuhmu. Oleh siapa? Apakah kamu diberitahu
- Pers media,
- Orang-orang di sekitarmu,
- Mungkin orang tuamu,
- Mungkin teman-temanmu,
Bahwa kamu harus makan lima kali sehari. Lima kali sehari mungkin enam kali sehari kamu akan makan. Pengetahuan ini benar-benar salah. Anda tidak harus makan enam kali sehari. Anda tidak perlu memiliki input kalori itu sepanjang waktu, ini tidak benar.
Breakfast
.
Well breakfast is the best and most important meal of the day. It's not. it's not. the most nutritious meal of the day is the meal that you have. Yeah that's it and aour sotrage. But if you want to create a special breakfast meal you're going to develop a cereal. And you're going to say this is special breakfast food. Almost sounds like dog food, right? Create this food for the dogs. Now you got a special food for breakfast, you don't need a special breakfast food especially one that's full of calories, and sugar, and it's totally processed, completely.
Myths
.
So really there have been a lot of myths about this so going back in history man only so first of all I want to tell you that you are all very old all of you, extremely old.
And how old are you?
Really well you're about two and a half million years old. That's pretty old.
And about 12 000 years ago, you changed and you started going into agriculture. So until then you are a Paleolithic being when you eat mostly meat, some vegetables that you found, and drank a lot of water. And when you are Paleolithic being none of you is such fantastic Hunters that you could hunt and eat and kill every three hours.
So for all those years, millions of years right? you generated a genetics that genetics is what you still have now. Because it was evolved over two and a half million years. So in the last 12 000 years you became more intelligent, and started agriculture so now your food changed. So when you went to agriculture did your genetics keep up with your two and a half million years of genetic change? hardly. Because it takes another two and a half million years to develop a new genetic package. You did not change genetically as your diet changed but to continue to be an Agricultural Society because the population grew and was harder and harder so agriculture is easy and easier.
Industrialized
.
And then in the last 200 years you change your diet again. Now you are industrialized. And now you start eating processed foods, vegetable seed oils, I told you about that before in a previous lecture totally processed you need massive factories to produce vegetable seed oils. It is so processed and yet now we consume that like it's going out of style. All of you consume vegetable seed oils whether you like it or not because it's in all processed foods. And yet that food if you look at your entire Evolution as 24 hours that food only came to you in the last 10 milliseconds.
How do you expect your body to respond genetically and hormonally to that food that you only just introduced to your genetics?
So before you put anything new in your mouth you've got to decide that is this in keeping with my genetics. So really this is very thought-provoking even agricultural products is very thought-provoking. Agricultural products are fine, but what did we do with them in the year 1880, we invented the steel mill and we made the flower. And when we made flour we changed the glycemic index of the food completely. And that was a study that I talked to you all about before also so we've changed as we've moved along. So our diets have completely changed.
Fast and Feast
.
The Paleolithic being ate maybe once a day and he ate during the daytime by the way because if we try to eat at night time with the carcasses outside the hyenas or some other animal will want to share. That with you probably make you their meal as well. So at night time you have to crawl into your cage I mean into your cave.
You gotta crawl into your cave, and stay there and don't come out to drink water either. But now we take the bottle of water with us to bed. So our body is made to fast and it's made to feast. And I will convince you tonight, that you should be fasting and feasting as well. Because if there was no food around, and
- if your sugar just went down down down down down.
- Your energy level went down down down.
you'll be dead in 24 hours, because you're going to your cave and you're just crawling. And you're just going to get terrible because nature doesn't give you any way to come back. Or there's been no food for 24 hours I'm just gonna crawl here.
- I have no energy
- I have no nothing
- I'm just going to crawl
- and die
but no that does not happen to you.
Fasting
.
Fasting doesn't kill people, I mean in fact I asked you to fast all the time and ask you to come for a stress test. You don't come on the stresses and die. So this we are used to fasting. And we do it. And when you're sick, you fast don't you?
- when you have the flu, you don't eat.
- when your pets are sick they don't eat
You don't see a dog running and eating his food when he's sick. He stays in the corner and he does not eat. There's a wisdom in that and that wisdom is the physiology because the physiology of the body is saying that
hey look you know eating is dangerous
eating takes up a lot of energy
eating takes up if you put in about 100 calories of food into your body.
It takes about 60 to 70 calories of your body is an energy consuming activity. But most of us don't think of it, like that you just need a role. That eating it's going to go right in and do me all that good a lot of energy that goes into it. Eating is dangerous. St's true eating is dangerous.
Biochemistry
.
So once in a while, when you donate nature has put into a biochemistry. So let's let's just Dive Right into that biochemistry a little bit. So the first thing that's going to happen is that you stop eating in the first 12 hours your body is going to say
hmm no food coming on it's going to wipe up all the glycogen
that is in your liver and in your muscles that's a normal process. It's going to use glycogen. So your sugar level or your glucose level will be maintained.
What about protein?
you've got plenty protein in your body.
What about vitamins? You got at least a month's worth of vitamins in your body.
What about energy? how much fat do I have?
Do you know that I have enough fat in my body to last me at least 40 days. So I have plenty energy in me. I have about 50.000 calories stored inside me which can be used but. I need to unlock those calories in the form of fat so you eat you store in the form of fat and that fat should be utilized now.
Glycogen Stores
.
So for the first 12 hours I'm not going to use the fat I'm going to use up my glycogen stores. How am I going to feel? I'm going to feel okay unless I'm a junkie. Then I'm going want to eat. You know that's junkiness because your sugar will never drop. I'm going to say that again your sugar will never drop. You can fast for seven days your blood sugar will come down, but you will not become hypoglycemic and have an attack,
- unless you're on insulin
- or you're taking diabetes medications
So how does the body keep the sugar up? but I told you that in the first 12 hours you get glycogen. After 12 hours what happens you get gluconeogenesis. That means new glucose is being made gluconeogenesis where does that glucose come from? that comes into the bloodstream. Where does it come from? Comes from protein but it's not the protein in the muscles. Protein is always being turned over in your body but this time the Protein that's normally going to turn over, turns into glucose.
Ketosis
.
So your glucose level is maintained for another 12 hours or so. During this next 12 hours is a small increase in ketosis. So let me explain ketosis to you. Where does that come from? So what happens is that the body senses that you have very little food coming in. And I'm going to explain to you
- how that happens?
- how does the body know that there's no food?
It's not just the sugar I want to explain this to you, it's not sugar. So what happens is that now fats in your body say
okay we are here utilize us
Insulin Level
.
The only way fat can come into utilization is the insulin levels must draw. So the incident levels are now low because you're not eating.
When your insulin level is high you store energy.
When your insulin levels are low pull energy out of the fats.
So now through the hormonal action of you know hormone sensitive lipase and the action of LPL. What happens if fat stores open up because your instant liver is low?
So the fats start being devoured. The fact gets converted to triglycerides and fatty acids. The fatty acids flood the bloodstream you can utilize fatty acids so they go to your liver. And in the liver your fatty acids get converted to ketones.
These two ketones
- beta-hydroxybutyric acid
- and acetoacetic acid.
These two ketones now go up. Ketones can be utilized by the body and this is the great breakthrough that I want to tell you that ketones can be utilized by every cell of your body including your brain.
Brain Energy
.
You are told that the brain is an obligate glucose utilizer, can only utilize glucose. It's absolutely wrong. There was a study done in Britain, Where what they did is that they brought the blood sugar down to 30. But they pumped the patient full of ketones.
And they were all sitting and talking and having fun and not a sweat the only one that was sweating was the doctors. The blood sugar you should be having convulsions. The brain can utilize ketones after a seven day fast. After 70% of the energy utilization of the brain is through ketones. And the Brain likes it? And there's even studies to show that when the brain utilizes the ketones actually is a cleaner burn. It burns more cleanly.
So what happens is there's a slow increase in the ketones which actually starts around 18 hours and gradually goes up up up up up up So by 24 hours you have some ketones maybe 10% or 15% of your entire energy source is now going to be ketones.
Ketones and Energy
.
How are you going to feel with ketones? Just fine no problem you feel you feel okay. Because ketones are giving you all the energy that you need, then let's say another 12 hours go by. So you're now at the 35 hours let's say now the ketones go even higher and Higher and Higher.
And by three days your Ketone lils are really beginning to get even better and even higher. So by the fifth day of fasting you will have a lot of ketones. Now you can measure your ketones in your urine. So you get a little dipstick and you can buy this by the way it only costs a few dollars. And you just test your urine to see when you become ketogenic. And you can test it.
Low Sugar Diet
.
Now if you've been on a low carb diet, low sugar diet you will go into ketogenesis earlier than somebody who eats a lot of sugar. Because it's got a whole bunch of glycogen in his liver. Because you got to remember go through the glycogen first before you start burning ketones. So someone who's on a very low carb diet you're going to ketogenesis much faster. So it's the ketones and the ketones will keep getting utilized the fats will keep burning.
So now you're doing the right arithmetic. That okay fine I've used up my current account. So I'm going to my deposit account now. And I'm drawing money from my deposit account. Now what prevents us all from utilizing my deposit account? it's insulin. Because I told you insulin holds the key to opening up the fat stores. So you want to utilize your fat stores. You have to drop your insulin level.
Now how am I going to drop your insulin Nails right now?
Fasting Program
.
There's only one way for me to drop your insulin levels and that's to put you on a fasting program. So now you choose which fasting program you want to be on.
- Do you want to do alternative fasting,
- do you want to do 18 hour fast
- do you want to do three day fast
I mean how do you want to do this, and that's something we'll talk about. And see what kind. But what am I saying here what's the trigger here which is the hormone in the body that's the elephant in the room. It's insulin just like my last talk, I told you about.
Do you see how it's all coming together the fats the sugar the weight? the fasting it's all insulin, it's all about insulin.
About Insulin
.
So if somebody is taking insulin, How does that affect?
You doomed. So somebody who's taking insulin, So show me somebody who takes insulin every day, and oh yeah I can lose weight. Just like that they can't lose weight, they cannot. I've done it. I've given insulin for 25 years to my patients, and I yelled at them and nothing happens. So as long as their insulin levels are high, they cannot lose weight. And let me tell you something else, the mortality is also higher.
Now don't talk about type 2 diabetics okay, not type 1 diabetics. Not type 1 diabetics are insulin deficient. And they need the insulin replacement.
But type 2 diabetics already have a high insulin level. And they have insulin resistance. So the insulin levels are already high.
And now you're giving them more insulin, and that is only going to hurt the patient even more. But your A1 see will look better and your glucose will be lower but show me the data that your survival is going to be better
- show me that you're going to get less Alzheimer's
- show me that you're going to get less inflammation in your body coronary artery stroke rates.
It's all about the insulin guys, it's all about the insulin.
So you got to you know chronic set now, when you're in the hospital and you're having DK or some other medical problems.
- And you're having surgery
- and you're getting on steroids
- and your sugar levels are high
I'll give you insulin. But that's a temporary thing to bring it down because I want your sugar levels to be ideal while I'm doing surgery on you. Because high sugar levels mean poorer recovery. So I want your ideal sugar levels. But that's a different story.
Insulin Resistance
.
I am talking about people who have high insulin levels because have insulin resistance. And you cannot give them more insulin. So you must get your insulin level down. I don't have a drug to give you to bring your insulin level down, but fasting will bring your insulin level down. Because if you don't eat, you're not going to make insulin. Now what's going to happen is that as your instant level drops. And it's nice and low your body will become sensitive to the insulin. Just like when any level goes down becomes sensitive. And there's too much of it your receptors down regulates, I'm not going to respond to this.
Sensitif to Insulin
.
So after you eat in the normal state, you produce a lot of insulin. Let's say, Now that you've been down for a good period of time let's say I'm going to give an example 24 hours your insulin levels have been low. Now you eat that next meal, you're only going to make this much insulin.
You're going to make a much less amount of insulin. So your body is going to deal with that meal differently than had you eaten in a Fed state. So eating after a fast is metabolized totally different than eating in a Feed state is much more forgiving to you.
And what's going to happen is that you'll produce less and less insulin even in the next few days after you've fasted one day. Look at the rewards I'm telling you about. You ought to diet at least one day where you don't eat anything because it'll give you a sustained benefit for days. Because your insulin sensitivity is going to be improved.
So what happens here is that insulin stays nice and low your body becomes more sensitive to the insulin produces less insulin. So you you're not locking the fat stores and you keep burning fat, which is what you want to do. So here's a reason to fast if you're overweight. You want to get rid of the fat fine this is the way to do it well.
Jadi setelah kau makan dalam keadaan normal, Anda memproduksi banyak insulin. Katakanlah, Sekarang sudah puasa (level insulin) down dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama. Katakanlah aku akan memberi contoh 24 jam, kadar insulinmu rendah. Sekarang engkau makan makanan berikutnya, maka hanya akan menghasilkan insulin yang banyak. (Tapi) Anda akan menghasilkan sejumlah insulin yang jauh lebih sedikit. Jadi, tubuh Anda akan menyikapi makanan tersebut secara berbeda, dibandingkan saat kau makan saat TIDAK PUASA. Jadi makan setelah puasa, metabolismenya sangat berbeda dengan makan saat tidak puasa. Dan itu sangat wajar untuk kita semua.
Dan yang akan terjadi adalah produksi insulinmu akan semakin berkurang bahkan dalam beberapa hari ke depan setelah kau berpuasa satu hari (aja). Lihatlah bonus yang saya ceritakan kepadamu. ksu harus melakukan diet setidaknya satu hari, di mana tidak makan apa pun karena itu akan memberimu manfaat berkelanjutan selama berhari-hari. Karena sensitivitas insulinmu akan ditingkatkan.
Jadi apa yang terjadi di sini adalah insulin tetap bagus dan rendah, tubuh Anda menjadi lebih sensitif terhadap insulin, yang menghasilkan lebih sedikit insulin. Jadi Anda tidak mengunci simpanan lemak dan terus membakar lemak. Itulah yang kau inginkan. Jadi inilah alasan untuk berpuasa, jika Anda kelebihan berat badan. Anda ingin menghilangkan lemak dengan baik, inilah cara melakukannya dengan baik.
Colonic Restriction
.
Why don't you just do colonic restriction, so you still eat five times a day but it's small amounts, you cannot do that. You lose a little bit but you lose much more muscle, and you lose some fat. You will feel miserable your metabolic rate will go down. And your body resets itself. And you'll gain all that weight right back again.
Because that's not natural. Because when you were a Paleolithic being you didn't just go and nibble at the carcass and say okay I'll come back here. I need five times this little cut. No you don't do that. It's just totally unnatural to do that. And the body's physiology is in keeping with that so the biochemistry is telling me the same thing. That you're not supposed to do that. So you're supposed to eat it, when the food is available. Which is usually once a day.
Kenapa tidak dilakukan membatasi asupan makan saja? Jadi tetap makan lima kali sehari, tapi jumlahnya sedikit. Itu tidak bisa, kau mungkin akan kehilangan sedikit berat badan. Tetapi kau malah kehilangan lebih banyak masa otot, dan kehilangan sedikit lemak. Kau akan merasa sengsara, tingkat metabolismemu akan turun. Dan tubuh Anda mengatur ulang dirinya sendiri. Dan berat badanmu akan bertambah lagi.
Karena itu tidak wajar. Ketika kita masih makhluk Paleolitik, kita tidak pergi dan menggigit daging dan berkata oke... aku akan kembali ke sini. Aku perlu lima kali potongan kecil saja.
Tidak, jangan lakukan itu. Sungguh tidak wajar melakukan hal itu. Dan fisiologi tubuh sejalan dengan hal itu sehingga biokimia memberi tahu kita hal yang sama. Bahwa ya, kau tidak boleh melakukan itu. Jadi ksu harus memakannya saat makanan tersedia, yang biasanya sekali sehari.
Now let's say what other benefit am I going to get besides the insulin and utilizing the fat well. The body says that okay this poor person hasn't had a kill today. So he's crawled into his cage. Well I got to get him out of there. Can I get him out? by decreasing his metabolic rate?
No I increase his metabolic rate, how do I do that after a fast or during that fast especially after 18 hours
- your epinephrine levels increase
- your adrenal levels go up.
- Your cortisol levels go up
- your metabolic rate goes up,
- you start feeling better,
- more bright-eyed and bushy tailed
Because you're looking for your next kill. Because if you walk out there with your eyes half droopy, you are going to see the kill, the deer will walk right by you. And you won't have any energy to chase it.
Sekarang katakanlah manfaat apa lagi yang akan saya peroleh selain insulin dan pemanfaatan lemak dengan baik? Tubuh mengatakan oke, orang malang ini belum mendapatkan buruan hari ini. Jadi dia merangkak ke dalam kandangnya. Baiklah, aku harus mengeluarkannya dari sana. Bisakah aku mengeluarkannya? dengan menurunkan laju metabolismenya? Tidak, malah tubuhnya akan meningkatkan laju metabolismenya, Bagaimana caranya setelah puasa atau selama puasa itu terutama setelah 18 jam?
- tingkat epinefrin meningkat
- tingkat adrenal naik.
- tingkat kortisol naik
- tingkat metabolisme meningkat,
- dan kita mulai merasa lebih baik,
- lebih happy dan berenergi.
Karena kau sedang mencari buruan berikutnya. Karena jika berjalan keluar sana untuk berburu dengan mata setengah terkulai. Justru anda malah akan melihat pembunuh. Rusa akan berjalan tepat di dekatmu dengan santai. Dan kau tidak akan punya tenaga untuk mengejarnya.
New Brain Cells
.
But now you're full of you're pumped up your middle by grade is high. You're more alert, you're awake, and you will get your kill. There's another thing that happens when you're fast. You produce a stuff called be brain derived neurotropic factor. So what happens is that the body starts producing a whole that goes to your brain and tells your brain switch on. And you actually make new brain cells.
You actually make new brain cells show me a drug that's going to make new brain cells. So in a fasting stage you actually make new brain cells. Because nature wants to teach you that this is how you got into this situation learn from it remember it and now get out and get another kill you see it makes you better. It makes your brain better.
Tapi sekarang kau puasa, kau bersemangat untuk naik kelas menengah ke kelas atas.
- lebih waspada saat bangun
- dan Anda akan mendapatkan hasil maksimal.
Ada hal lain yang terjadi saat kau lebih cepat, yaitu kau menghasilkan sesuatu yang disebut Faktor Neurotropik yang diturunkan dari otak. Jadi yang terjadi adalah tubuh mulai memproduksi keseluruhan yang masuk ke otakmu, dan memerintahkan otakmu untuk aktif. Dan kau benar2 membuat sel-sel otak baru. Kau benar2 membuat sel2 otak baru. Tunjukkan kepadaku obat yang akan membuat sel2 otak baru.
Jadi dalam tahap puasa Anda benar-benar membuat sel-sel otak baru. Karena alam ingin mengajarimu bahwa inilah caramu masuk ke dalam situasi ini. Belajarlah dari situ, ingatlah itu dan sekarang keluarlah. Dan lakukan perburuan lagi. Itu akan membuatmu lebih baik. Itu membuat otakmu lebih baik.
Growth Hormone
.
What else does a fasting do growth hormone? So do you know how much growth hormone costs a small 0.1 injection is about four hundred dollars. Zero point one is four hundred dollars it's so expensive, right? but did you know? that if you fast just a one and a half to two days there's a two day fast in the study a two day fast produced
- 2000% increase in your growth hormone production in a man
- and thirteen hundred in a woman.
So it is the best way to boost your growth hormone level. Now why would I want growth hormone? Because Growth Hormone is the hormone that
- keeps you young
- makes your skin better
- that replaces the dead Parts better
- and your muscles grow so your muscles actually grow
So you do you do 10 reps you're going to put on more muscle than if your growth hormone is low. Growth Hormone is low you could be Pumping Iron all day long. And you'll just get achy muscles but you will not grow muscles.
It goes alone you want to stay youngerm you need growth hormone now. There is a condition called adult growth hormone deficiency. And of course children have it too. And they have short stature and slow growth Etc. And in adults there's a similar one, and it manifests itself as an elderly. Person who's just his muscles are all wasted he's got no energy he's got a blank in his eye all the time.
- He's just can't think
- and he's very weak
- and he's just sitting
it out your message growth hormone level it's very low you give him some growth hormone. he feels a lot better but the problem with exogenous growth hormone is has a lot of side effects so that's why right now it's not approved by the FDA for me to give people growth hormone but the best way to give yourself growth hormone is do one fast do one fast and your growth hormones will go up what else happens when you're fasting so growth hormone I told you about 20 24 to 48 hours if you really want to get the full benefit of growth hormone now is a condition called autophagy
I'm going to explain to you what autophagy is autophagy starts actually at about 18 hours and then gradually increases and its maximum at three days sounds terrible it's not fair but you know what even if I get some autophagy after 24 hours I'll be very very very happy but if I want to maximize my autophagy I'll go for a three-day fast so let me explain what autophagy is autophagy the Nobel Prize winner got it two years ago got the prize on autophagy so what happens in autophagy is that when you are nutrient deficient like this the body senses that there's no nutrients coming in and there's a thing thing called mtol M2 levels go really really low this is a a protein kinase in the body and it goes really really low and that turns on autophagy what turns off photology is M2 levels are high what causes M2 levels to go high is eating mostly proteins so let's come back again to the top of two so what autophagy does is that it takes your cells and the cell has a lipoprotein membrane around it and there's all the intracellular organelles in it but in the course of time those cells the intercellular organelles some of them become redundant there's protein lying around this whenever there's work there's going to be garbage so they are old intracellular organelles and some proteinaceous materials that are just lying around in the cytoplasm so the body says I need energy recycle I need to recycle so the first thing it does the cell stays alive and it takes those intracellular organelles breaks them down packages them into the lysosome and digests it breaks it down into its pieces so whether it's a sarcoplasmic reticulum or other intracellular organelles breaks them all down and exports it out of the cell once it's exported from the cell into the bloodstream the bloodstream says aha I've got some new building blocks now and the body reutilizes that okay so the body now starts utilizing your intracellular organelles so you're recycling yourself so your cell is doesn't die it goes into a state of recycling and you recycle your mitochondria as well so mitochondrial Parts because there's a lot of oxidative stress going on in the mitochondria so what happens is that it that cell is now going to be deplete of its old non-functional parts and then when you do eat
guess what it gets repaired first all those organelles so you basically rejuvenate your cells now if you're constantly eating you will not rejuvenate those cells and the biochemistry is so beautiful that these cells now are functioning better they're younger and they are going to last longer they're more resilient also to disease I'll come to that in a minute so autophagy makes your cells better younger restoration it's like it's like a reset switch so how do those organelles redo themselves well they rebuild themselves because when you then eat because you've had autophagy a signal goes from those cells to the bone marrow to say Hey listen I used up my intracellular organelles when you get new ones new supplies send them to me so the bone marrow when you eat makes stem cells have you heard of stem cells that'll cost you a million dollars just go out and get some it cost you a whole lot of money and it won't work because when you inject stem cells from the outside the residence rates are wrong because they didn't get the message of where to go to it's all artificial so it doesn't know so the brain look I injected stem cells in the heart when patients of myocardial infarctions I was here doing the study upstairs and what was the residence rate residency it is how many of the stem cells actually ended up in the muscle where I wanted it to stay and repair the heart less than 0.1 percent did the Egyptian fractions go up no change in ejection fraction so injecting stem cells from the outside does nothing for you it was good to study stem cells and it still is for the reason that you need to harness Nature's Way of giving you stem cells you want a stem cell transplant right now you're going to fast it's the fastest way to increase your stem cells so these stem cells come out of the bone marrow it's called refeeding reward and they go into the into the organs and replenish cells that have died and change the Machinery in those cells as well
so there's a whole Rejuvenation process you are a younger better more resilient person than you were before and this has all been documented over and over again but there's no industry that's going to support me because there's no financial gain if you get better and younger and live longer because there's no one there to make money out of no one makes money when you fast they lose money so boost your growth hormone boost your boost your your stem cells this has been very well documented not only in humans in animals too well documented over and over again it's just that nobody's ever heard of it everyone thinks that oh fasting is just fasting is starvation it's not good but there's so much science behind this so the next benefit of course is stem cell mobilization that occurs and to get the maximum benefit of that you can't just do you know overnight fast no you you really need to fast because for the bone marrow to say I'm going to come in and replace you've got to really have reached that point of replacement so you can't you can't speed it up either so the question is can I do a three-day fast of course I can do a three-day fast you got to prepare yourself mentally you got to prepare yourself physically for the environment make sure that you know you're not you're you you're with your best friends it's an environment and you got to have water so that you don't get dehydrated so you can do it all of us can do it so you can fast for different reasons so when would I want autophagy I would want a topology one just to live longer number two let me tell you something if you do a seven day water fast the studies done in Boston at the University so that your lifetime probability of getting cancer is reduced by more than 70 percent some studies even higher because the cells that are going to die off in the state of the fast are going to be your cancer cells because your cancer cells look if I want to do a pet scan on you I'm going to give you a radioactive material it's got glucose in it oh excuse me the glucose is really low and the insulin level is really low so the nutrients that the cancer cells want are not there cancer cells do die off so let's talk about cancer for a second so the studies have been done that if you fast a person only for 36 hours that's it and then give them chemotherapy in that state they're going to tolerate the chemotherapy better they're going to have less side effects from the chemotherapy it's going to be death of cancer cells and your normal cells are more resilient now and you're going to get less death of your normal cells do you understand what I'm saying so what happens when you're fasting your normal cells become more resilient so when you give the chemo only the weak guys die which is the cancer cells because you've strengthened through this fasting process your normal cells so I wanted to do this protocol upstairs in in the bone marrow unit where we do a lot of chemotherapy on these patients but no nobody said okay we want to do this project they said it would be inhumane to tell our patients to fast before we give them chemotherapy so what we do we feed them then they get nauseated then they vomit so we give them zofran and then we then they were stood down to that so then we'll put tpn on them because we've all been indoctrinated that we have to feed feed feed I'm just
telling you all right now if any of you get on my kind of in fashion you get admitted to the hospital I'm making your NPO
I'll put IV fluids on you but I'll give you I'll meet you mpo so even if you do vomit you're not going to aspirate you
know how much aspiration you see in the hospital over here and pneumonia and all that from aspiration is terrible because
I'm Force feeding you in a sense wait a second your body is not hungry don't eat but no the trays get brought to you you
have to eat you don't have to if you there's a reason why you have anorexia when you're
sick pay attention to your body your body's telling you don't eat then
don't eat you won't die you might die from eating
so cancer I predict that in the next five to ten
years there's going to be major cancer treatments associated with adjunctive fasting
and that's coming definitely it's on its way what else can be used for autoimmune
diseases there's numerous studies to say that you have inflammatory bowel disease
rheumatoid arthritis lupus any of these conditions and you get a flare-up of it
fast for three days it's the most potent thing you can do as an anti-inflammatory
because first and foremost your bowels are totally quiet there's no energy being used for
digestion your body's energy resources will be utilized to repair yourself
a lot of autoimmune diseases start from your gut as well gives your gut a chance to heal so that you get less leaky gut
syndrome so that that fast actually heals it gives you your gut a chance to heal as
well autoimmune diseases get better and what about diabetes diabetes definitely gets better because I just told you the
insulin resistance gets better so that gets better what about Alzheimer's oh yeah you know poor Granny
we can't pull the tray away from her but sometimes that's the best thing you
could actually do give a lot of liquids and don't feed granny for three days if she's got
dementia social services will be after you
it could be anybody not just the granny but but don't feed her for three days just give her lots of water I promise
you neurologically she'll start waking up the fog will go away the confusion will get better
it can get better and it should get better and there's no harm in trying because you won't die in three days
so three-day water fast so what do I mean by the water fast three day water fast I think you can only drink water for three days so drink lots of water now why do you need to drink so much water because all reactions are getting water and secondly you appear a lot when you're fasting because I'm not drinking that much I'm not eating and how come I'm peeing so much it's because when your insulin levels go down insulin holds on to water now there's no more insulin so that water gets Diaries out of your body
so you will notice that you pee a lot so you need to drink more when you're fasting that's number one now what about
electrolytes well electrolytes will be conserved by your kidneys your kidneys
are very good at holding onto electrolytes so there's plenty of Lights in the body do you know that if I have
sodium if I don't take in sodium the last molecule of sodium will be
reabsorbed by my kidneys not a single molecule will be in my urine that's how
good it is so kidneys will take care of everything kidneys will not allow you to lose sodium or potassium now if you're
already starting out with a half empty plate yeah you may get some depletion but you can get that tested and on
refeeding you I'll give you some Clues on how to improve that when you refeed
yourself but unusual to get electrolyte imbalance but
if you do get it take a pinch of salt in the water
and you'll find that your cramps get better and your dizziness gets better and your
headaches get better so these are complaints that a lot of patients have that oh you know I was fasting but mine
after about 15 hours I had a bad headache I would go and drink more water
with a little bit of salt in it and put Himalayan salt because that also has some magnesium and other things in
it and you'll feel a lot better dizziness is usually due to low blood pressure because your blood pressure comes down
so you get dizzy when you're fasting it's not because your sugar's down it's because your blood pressure is lower
drink water and cramps some patient gets cramps put the
salt again and also in the evening put yourself in a tub of of Epsom salts
or you can get some magnesium and there's there's a liquid magnesium you can just put on your skin you can spray
it and that'll give you magnesium and that's what it's all about so give yourself salt some magnesium you'll
start feeling better patients say that oh I get so hungry well hunger comes and goes
there's a ghrelin increase and decrease according to the Circadian cycle so all you have to do is pay attention yes I'm
hungry all right drink some water expand your stomach and you'll feel better half an hour later the hunger's
gone keep your mind busy get going do something have your chores get get them
done your hunger will go away patients don't continue to be hungry all day long it just doesn't happen
if they are craving it's again like I told you the pavlovian reflex or they've
become a junkie so hunger comes hunger goes most patients
find the second day the hardest and then from the third day onward they actually feel good
and the third and fourth day of fasting fourth day they feel phenomenal on the fifth day they want to go running they
want to go to the gym they feel wonderful so you got to get over that hump
if you really want to do that type of a fast you have to know that I'm going to face a problem on the second day it's
going to be hardest third fourth fifth day I'll do better so who should do the long fast and who
should just do intermittent fasting so first and foremost if you just want
to be healthy eat once a day at the most twice a day in a six to eight hour
window period so that's called time restricted feeding so if you just want general maintenance
you want to lose a little bit of weight you want to stay healthy you don't want to become a diabetic you don't want the
diseases of modern man then start eating less frequently
start learning how to eat once a day or twice a day in a six hour window period so if you're gonna have lunch at one
o'clock you should have dinner at six or seven o'clock and that's it no snacking in between because every snack will
increase your insulin levels and it breaks your fast and your ketogenesis as well so on a daily basis you it will give you
a little bit of autophagy will give you a little bit of kitchen ketosis
and you'll burn fat you will your body will learn how to
take food in when you're eating and then burn the glycogen and then for about four hours or so it will pull out some
from the fat so it was there's a nice cycle there
then once a week you can extend that further by just skipping the evening meal also so instead of a 24 hour fast
it becomes a 36 hour fast once a week that will give you a huge boost in your
immunity you'll find you won't get the flu [Music] the immunity will get better
because your immunocytes are now new because your stem cells have kicked in
36 hours is a magic number and it's doable to tell everybody to do a
three-day fast is kind of tough for a five-day fast but people have done this some of my
patients have done seven day fasts because some people with whom I
communicate with my iPhone all the time 14 day fast but they're doing it because they have severe diseases
so they have a lot of chronic disease that they want to get rid of and they do it and they do it don't do it a lot
they'll do a seven day fast every six months that's it
you don't have to now the rest of the time they're doing time restricted feeding
because they have these chronic diseases of Alzheimer's or diabetes or they get
they've had two cancers already or they want to just lose a lot of weight and they want to get rid of that high
insulin level so eating
in a Time restrictive period that's good for all of us
I think that our life revolves around eating too much and we've been we've been bamboozled by
by industry and and by by just all sorts of nonsense out there
and there's a growing community that understands this so I just want to give you a little bit of chemistry I want to
tickle you with some chemistry so how does the body know
that you do need because all of you think oh it's chicken my sugar level go down that's how my body knew that I didn't eat right I did nothing to do
that your body knows what you ate how did you know what you ate how much protein how much fat how much sugar it's
very complicated but one of the things is your NAD which is your one of those
little molecules inside your cells and it looks at the ratio of NAD to nadh
and that is determined a lot by how much fat metabolism is going on in your cell
which occurs in the mitochondria and how much glycolysis is occurring in your cytosol long and short of it you don't
need to know all that all you need to know is your body knows what you ate
when you are in a fasting State they mobilize a bunch of
enzymes or proteins called the cert-1 molecules s-a-r-t-1 molecules they go up
in your body in a fasting state and in that state it binds to acetyl
groups now what's so important about that so when the soot is up it binds with
acetyl groups on your histones which are on your DNA so you all know this is just follow me
on this because this is really it's exciting because if you know the knowledge behind this you'll get excited about it
and you'll want to do it yeah so your whole your your DNA
you have your full set of DNA of which you only express a fraction
less than one percent all the rest of your DNA is all covered up with the histones histones are like a spring
that's over your DNA and doesn't expose it so what the cert does it binds to
their star groups and it untwists histones in certain parts of your DNA so
that that part of the DNA can start making proteins so it's called expression your
genetic expression changes because now you're making new proteins so you see how your diet affects which
genes are now going to be expressed and those genes make proteins and that's how
they carry out the effect in your body so the third one actually activates a gene called the fox O3 Gene
and this fox O3 Gene activates many other genes and this is what those genes
do it's very exciting it activates all the antioxidant genes
in your body naturally naturally so you don't need to go and
buy vitamin C and vitamin E and all these things and yeah so what activates
Fox O3 also turmeric does that you think turmeric is a antioxidant
it is but through the mechanism it turns on a certain Gene in itself it has no
antioxidant properties why why am I doing vitamin 3 D3 levels
on everybody in my office because one of this the most important environment involved with gene expression is vitamin
D if you vitamin D deficient your gene expression is handicapped so when things
happen to you or when you're not eating or when you get sick your body is genetic material
cannot reveal itself in a normal way that you're supposed to
do you just want to say about vitamin D you're handicapping yourself in your own ability to repair your body
because you're vitamin D deficient and I can tell you right now 90 of you are in this room environment D deficient
ninety percent of your vitaminated I can I can tell you that for sure that's all of you have to get your
vitamin D levels done and you need to be taking vitamin D3 if you are low and you need to be sitting in the sun for 10
minutes every day you gotta do this you cannot guess what your vitamin D
level is you need to check it so vitamin D is involved in over 300 different reactions and most of them got
to do a genetic expression heck I want to know that because I want to express my genes to
the best of the ability and make them responsive to everything that's going on so the fox O3 Gene is really important
antioxidant Gene then the next Gene is DNA repair so it activates my DNA repair mechanisms
because my DNA is bombarded every day by radiation by toxins by by food also and
my DNA crumbles every day that's why I get old so that's no good so it makes you younger so foxo3 repairs your DNA
makes your telomere is less short so they stay nice and long and you know
that telomeres are very important right because the longer they are the longer you're going to live
apoptosis apoptosis is cell program death of the cells so it controls that
clearance of senescent cells that's that's a autophagy getting rid of old
cells because you don't hold cells hanging on in your system so old cells get cleared away as well
then protein structure and maintenance this is Alzheimer's disease what is
Alzheimer's Alzheimer's a brain cells don't work very good why don't they work very good because there's a proteinaceous material that is built up
inside it and that kind of hurts the mechanisms of your brain cells that's amyloid amyloid deposition
this is involved with that too and then stem cell mobilization brain
derived neurotropic Factor all these things I already mentioned they're all through the fox O3 mechanism you want to
get good Fox O3 you need to have vitamin D in your system and you need to be
eating the right food and the right food means no processed
foods everything that was there two and a half million years ago vegetables some fruit about I want to talk about
fruits overrated foreign
so what happens is that at the end of the summer and fall the fruit is bearing
there and you're supposed to eat the fruit with all the fructose to get you through winter but winter Never Comes
so you keep eating throughout the year so and you keep getting in the weight so
fruits are good for you but you associate one fruit a day that's it and choose the most colorful fruit you can
and mix it up a little bit but please don't don't eat five six fruits a day I mean that's just this is crazy and eat
fruit that have a low glycemic index high glycemic index fruits are watermelon all the melons that you have
all the stuff that they give you when you order fruit plate in the in the restaurant that's all that bad stuff all of it
the kiwi fruit in it is bad the the grapes are bad bananas are 50 50 but the best things
are apples peaches plums apricots those are very healthy for you right because a lot of fiber and also low glycemic index
so there you go pears pears are very good so now
what other agent helps you to express your third one
better Omega-3 now you know why I'm so anal about
omega-3 levels they need to so again I can promise you not 95 90 I think 95
percent of you in this room are probably omega-3 deficient now it's not may not
be an absolute deficiency but the ratio of your omega-3 to omega-6 is off it
should be ideally one to one but I bet you most of you are about 20 to 1.
because omega-6 is found in all the vegetable seed oils so what happens is
that this ratio is because what happens is three and six compete for the same substrate
so you can be taking feature of fine but if you're also using vegetable oil you'll just defeated the purpose
so omega-3 also lengthens your telomeres as
that's vitamin D see simple measures simple things what else lengthens your telomeres and
helps with your with with your DNA is meditation meditation actually has been shown to
increase your your telomeres and lack of sleep shortens them and melatonin
I want to say something about melatonin melatonin prevents cancer
but it also turns on Fox 03. so if you're not getting melatonin
you're not getting sleep at night you're not getting Rejuvenation now you know the mechanism of why you get so old
because you're only sleeping three hours a night or four hours a night or Worse still you're doing night shift or all
those things are there for your sleep is totally dysfunctional but very very important
okay so now you know that the body actually is very intelligent what you
eat immediately starts changing your genetic expression did you ever think about that yes
I never thought about that until I did all this research and started researching all this about five six years ago by diet
I always thought that I I'll just change my hormones my my psychologist my insulin my genetic expression changes
with every meal that I eat yes it does it's very empowering to know that
don't forget it and pass it on so when you eat proteins
you produce a stuff called insulin-like growth factor one now this is a warning to all of you okay
too much protein will produce too much igf-1 insulin-like growth factor one that turns on M tall
I mentioned them to earlier on and these are protein kinases and what
this does it stimulates your ribosomal production to make more
protein which is good so when you eat protein you make more muscles that's fine but
you also have cell proliferation and what that does it increases your risk of
cancer now there's absolutely no doubt that a high protein diet increases the risk of
cancer I think that data is unequivocal it's been shown in animals and also in some
human studies now the M2 also decreases autophagy
so if you are on a high protein diet and you think that you're getting autophagy you've just turned it off
because of M talk because I mentioned that earlier on in my talk it turns off MTO
so how much protein should you have well not a lot how much is not a lot well you're not
growing you're not lactating you've all passed puberty
um you're not bodybuilders 0.35 per pound
that's it grams per pound so I weigh 150 so
50 grams of protein that's all I need and I'm going to get enough of that in my regular diet
taking protein powder not a good idea
not a good idea cut it out we did it we all did it I did it for a
while you'll notice your sugar levels go up because it stimulates your insulin
production as well and it's got a lot of glucose in it and it will cause igf-1 levels to go up and it increases protein
synthesis risk of cancer and decreases autophagy now I just told that autophagy
is so important and here this thing turns it off don't do protein bars for goodness sake
you don't need it and nature doesn't give you protein on its own it gives it to the
you want some protein go eat the chicken or the fish and make sure it's nice and lean and not fed on corn because then
you'll get too much omega-6 as well so there you go
now there's a so insulin growth insulin like growth ideas just like growth hormone so
there's a group of people out there in Ecuador and they they have the wrong
syndrome which is a gene mutation I got to tell you about this what that means is that they the growth hormone receptor
has a mutation so it doesn't work very well so these people are very short
the real short the real stubby as well but they lived to be a hundred 110.
and they have no cancer and no high blood pressure
and it's all to do with that growth hormone receptor mutation that is why we're saying that listen if
you want that type of physiology you need to cut down on the amount of protein you know it's overrated because
you go to a restaurant and you order a salad and what's the first question is protein
no I don't need any protein in my salad thank you but they'll always ask you for that it's
over it I'm not saying that you shouldn't add some grilled chicken to your salad or something you can do that but take it in the context of how much
protein you're eating during the day and please don't supplement even more unless you have illness unless you have gi
problems and you can't otherwise eat and you're wasting away and your teeth are really bad and and you're sick you might
need some protein most of us don't need it 99 of us don't need it
so in those patients they have very low insulin levels very low insulin like
growth factor levels and there you go so you'll have less diabetes less cancer in those patients
so different diets turn these genes on and off when you eat sugar you turn on a gene
called Ras Dash PKA
it's crazy so this is a protein kinase as well and what does that do again it
turns off autophagy increases the production of your insulin and basically makes you more
inflammatory because it turns off all those things so you become inflammatory sugar causes inflammation in the body
fructose causes insulin resistance in the liver I went over that with you all before so sugar is very very bad for you
sugar is a poison sugar is not natural sugar was never found in nature it's a
totally processed food it's processed it's as processed food as all the other
processed foods that you eat just desperate but people think sugar it's just it's natural sugar you know
it's sugar well it's not sugar it's processed it's totally processed there's no such thing
as sugar it's totally processed um so
if you don't want cancer heart disease diabetes degenerative joint disease
inflammatory conditions of the bowels then don't get old
don't get off now why did I say that because
there's a lot of Truth to what I'm going to say here okay so all these conditions are conditions that
occur in aging if you can slow down aging you won't get
those conditions so what is the best way to stay young your genetic material and for you to
constantly stay young but I told you already how to do that fasting keep your weight down eat the right Foods your genetic materials stay young you stay younger you're not going to get those
five conditions if you get prematurely old and by your way we're getting old fastest 30 year olds and not even 20
year olds coming to my office then they're already 50 years old
because of the lifestyle what they're eating their lifestyle their sleep patterns their stress
patterns so don't get old so everything that I'm saying is also anti-aging so now
does that mean I'm an anti-aging doctor I am but there's a lot of other people out there also doing anti-aging but I'm a different anti-aging kind of
doctor I do more naturally and I know the science behind it so I'm not going to tell you to go and
you know take the special cream and put it on you and eat the special concoction because how naturally is all that
just how natural is that I mean if you want to be natural then
you don't walk away from from one of those providers with a bag load of drugs and creams and and other things I mean
how natural is that I have nothing to sell you
I got nothing I got vitamin D in my office I got vitamin K2 by the way all should
be on vitamin K2 as well what is vitamin K2 vitamin K2 takes the calcium takes it out of the elbow out of
your tissues and puts it back into the bone where it's belongs so how come you got vitamin K2 deficiency
because you're over on that low fat diet right so it's absorbed through fat you don't have fat you're not going to
absorb vitamin K you don't have fat you're not going to absorb vitamin D how do you think eurobic environmentally
deficient because we went on the slow fat craze low fatness low fat diet
so it compounded your nutritional deficiency when you went on a high carb diet
which is what the government told us to do because what we did we went on a low fat diet and substituted it all with
carbs you also became nutritionally
a desert because you didn't get all the good things look when you eat natural fats in
natural ways like let's say you eat a piece of fish or you eat meat or you're eating vegetables it comes with
everything in it so your adek will get absorbed with the
natural fat you need it you need it and that's how it's going to get absorbed because that's how it was
two and a half million years ago who are you to try to change this in the last millisecond of your life
in your Evolution okay so let's talk about that how many generations
will be for you because that will be an eye-opener for you I haven't written down here somewhere in my notes how many
generations have gone by and it's a real eye Opera
oh man where did I ride it oh yes oh yeah here he goes
so in the two and a half million years there were a hundred thousand
Generations and each generation improves on these genetic materials 100000 generations and then they produced the homo sapien how many generations were in the
agricultural time since the agricultural thing happened only 600 Generations
so 600 Generations have been eating the the benefits of the Agricultural Revolution and what about the Industrial
Revolution which changed it even more because remember much of the Agricultural was okay actually because
the grains were kind of whole but in the industrial revolution how
many generations have gone by only 10. only ten
you have no chance of survival because your genetic material has
another chance to eventually there's only been 10 Generations so you drastically change the way you
live you drastically change your diet and you expect 10 generations to drastically change your genetic material
now if you're lucky and you procreate wisely
there may be another thousand Generations from now your kids will adapt to this new diet
but right now you stand on a chance do you see what I'm saying keep stay on this diet
stay on this lifestyle and after another thousand maybe two
thousand three thousand Generations the new human being will have adapted to
today's food he wants to have a chance so there you go all right so how much
more time do I have I have a little bit more time so I want to give you a few more a few more hints over here on on
um on fasting and and things to say about fasting so I already talked about the
biochemical changes and I told you how so the first thing you need to do if you want anyone wants to start a fasting
program is to cut down on your carbohydrates you cannot jump into a fasting program with a regular diet you
have to first be carb conditioned you need to cut down on no processed foods
no processed foods nothing unnatural anything that's refined no sugar
no drinks except for water and tea and coffee and by the way when you're fasting you can have tea and coffee and
all that but without the miracle cream you can add a little bit of coconut if you want coconut oil that is
um or MCT oil because that will that will give you some satisfaction and take away your hunger for a while
so that's very important um I want to say oh yes I want to say this
refeeding syndrome so let's say you one of you did decide to do a three day or four day fast I
warn you that when you start eating again you may have a problem because what will
happen is that if you have phosphate deficient because you're nutritionally already eating the standard American
diet the sad diet then you don't have enough phosphate in your body and your bones are the biggest
storage of phosphate and most of us have osteopenia how come we have so much OST opinion these 30 year old women that
come to my office say I have osteopenia how come it's terrible living in Florida lost
European it's terrible so obviously when she does her refeeding she's going to get phosphate deficiency because what
happens all of a sudden stem cells going if they need building blocks and one of the building blocks is
phosphate to replace the cells that have died and so if you get phosphate so you
get tremendous muscle weakness and muscle aching and that's from phosphate deficiency and that can happen
so when that happens you need to go and get some bone broth
so all of you should know how to make some broom broth if you've made it the Indians have been doing it for years
but you know just put some bones in there and and how to cook the bone broth you should know how to make one now if
you're a vegetarian you can make it out of vegetables too but it's very very helpful and even during a fast if you
absolutely have to do anything you can have some bone broth chewing up fast
okay bone broth because it's got a lot of glycine in it and it's got um phosphate
it's got a lot of minerals in it and that will really help you even the Magnesium so it'll help you overcome some of your problems so learn about
bone broth and don't buy ready-made bone broth make it yourself by the way there's lots of recipes now
on the low carb diet how to what kind of breakfast lunch or dinner whatever you want to cook is available bone broth how
to make it my favorite book that I use is Jason Fung's book right Jason Fung f
u n g uh he's the he's a he's a nephrologist up in Canada and and he
sees all this really heavy duty diabetics and he does amazing work but you see he's learned all these tricks to
make success so the potassium can fold magnesium can fall and phosphate so re-feeding just be
careful use bone broth during that time I already mentioned all the side effects
which are okay coffee tea I mentioned the tea um and black tea
medicines yes when you are when you're doing fasting it depends which medicine
now if you're taking diabetes medications and I'm telling you all if you're taking diabetes medications
they will cause a drop in your sugar level and it could be a dangerous drop in your sugar level especially insulin
should not be taken and Glyburide Glipizide those agents
should not be taken but don't do that without your physician knowing you've got to involve your physician if you're
a diabetic patient your physician needs to know about it if your physician doesn't want to know about it and doesn't approve of you doing fasting
maybe you need to find another one
you see because and look it's not bad I look Physicians are great but we taught to treat illness
get sick and I'll know what to do with you but you want to stay healthy heck I
don't know that's the problem we have so it's not that they don't want to help you it's
just that they don't know they've never been there to handle that kind of situation I'll tell you what I do with
my patients okay I stop the insulin right there no more insulin and I stopped Glyburide or any other agent
that drops blood sugar except for metformin I keep them on Metformin and then I tell them to measure the blood
sugars and for three days or two days they may have high blood sugar but that's not going to hurt them
that's not going to hurt them so if you look at what hurts you the most it's a high insulin level that hurts you more
if your glucose level is a little bit High okay that may glycate some of your proteins but it's temporary it's not
going to hurt you in the long term but insulin will hurt you so that's what I've done and for most of them after
they're they're fast they feel a lot better and they they can come off insulin they should be able to come off
insulin but you gotta you know the trouble with Physicians is and myself included we're so busy
then ideally I would like to see you going on a fast and then I'll see you today because we discussed it I'd like
to see you again in a couple of days at least now if I'm going to stop your incident I might want you to take your
blood sugar every day every day at least four times and report to my office call
the office tell the nurse my sugar is doing this that that and have a very close follow-up on that
the trouble is that our system is so broken that most Physicians can't do that and if they try to do that they'll
go broke because there's no reimbursement for any of this stuff it's really terrible
but that's what I'm saying keep find a physician that you can at least talk with frequently go and see frequently if
you want to come off diabetes medications now all the other medications blood pressure medication you should take everything else but you
measure your blood pressure you got to take things into your own hands because nobody is going to do it except you
you must take control of your life we have become a society where we go to the doctor and say fix me no you've got to
do it yourself you must take your blood sugars every day get your Ketone sticks over there get your blood pressure machine start taking your blood
pressures if your blood pressure starts going below 100 you call the doctors and my breakfast is level or destiny to be on base attack oh no stop the vase
attack good fine done and that's what happens actually so it's hard to predict
who's going to drop the blood pressure and who's not but generally speaking you've got to be very Vigilant and you
need to doctor that you can quickly approach or a walk-in clinic that you can walk into that's why I have my walk-in clinic right people can walk in
and yeah the man that might have to wait but at least they're going to be seen and if I'm tied up at least my my
practitioners will take care of the patient so your blood pressure will drop
because you become volume depleted or because of of your your your physiology
changing physiology has changed that's where your blood pressure is dropping so yeah you can come off look high blood pressure
sugar high triglycerides and low HDL are all
part of metabolic syndrome this makes metabolic syndrome better Therefore your blood pressure will come
down your sugar will come down your trigucides will come down and your HDR will go up
I told you all before that the lipid abnormalities that you see very few of them are primary lipid abnormalities the rest are all reflections of your glucose metabolism that has gone haywired so the most important things to look for on your lipid panel is not your LDL it's your triglycerides and HDL and the ratio of HDL to triglycerides if it's off you have a sugar problem even though your sugar is good or your hemoglobin A1c is good if your triglycerides are high and your hdlo and the ratio is greater than two you probably have high insulin levels and that needs to be determined and the treatment of high insulin levels today is faster changing your diet and doing intimately now what do I do six months down the patient comes to me and says oh I've lost all this weight look I feel great now I'm down on my medications I'm hardly taking anything now I will repeat his insulin levels if they are good I'll say you know what things are much better now you don't have to be so crazy about your diet anymore but automatically most of them still do time restricted feeding because they love it they feel so good doing it so very few go back to eating five days or five times a day you know you know so there you go so very important that we do this I wanted to mention something else too yes so the you know studies are very hard in humans but I wanted to show you one study that was done in monkeys about fasting so they took the monkeys The Recess Monkeys which we're very closely related to them they deserve more respect I think this is monkeys so they took the experimental group gave them 30 percent less calories the standard teaching for for weight loss 30 less calories right so 30 less calories and the control group they gave them milk protein corn oil sugar and unlimited feeding times
pretty much like an American diet that was the control group and then what they did is they looked at the outcome at five years in these resistance monkeys there was 20 those who had restricted calories the 30 restricted calories they lived 26 more than the control group 50 less cardiovascular disease and greater than 90 no diabetes just by cutting calories down our food is so full of calories the more calories you eat the more disease you're gonna get there's absolutely no doubt so now the NIH they don't want to be outdone so they did a study they also did 30 caloric restriction but in the control group now watch what they did in the control group they gave them plant proteins no animal protein except for a little bit of fish five percent fat only so give them some fat four percent sugar in the diet and they were only fed twice a day and what did they find what do you think did they did that did those monkeys do better than the 30 carotid restriction or do you think it was as good as the colonic restriction did it better yeah so so again it it's your diet so just simply cutting down on 30 calories is not the way to go it's no longer calories in calories out it's how your body reacts to the calories and what calories go in it's your hormonal response how you respond hormonally and how you respond to your genetic expression so be careful what goes past the tongue because that's going to determine your future and you know I always like questions and answers so I'm going to stop right there but today's main message is if you want to do a serious fast talk to somebody who knows a lot about fasting do it with somebody talk to your doctor if you're on Diabetes medications or blood pressure medications if you want to Simply replicate the Paleolithic way eat once a day or twice a day only do it in a Time restricted fashion all of you can do it all of you you don't need medical permission to do that the only time I'm telling you to seek my help is if you go to a three day five day or a seven day water fast or even more water fast all right and there's a lot of books that you all can read especially Jason Fung's book and um and uh is there any other questions by the way as I said before this talk I'll put my slides in there and then post it onto YouTube Galen Foundation wants to continue doing stuff like this so my next one I'm going to talk about all sorts of things including sleep I'm going to do a whole topic on sleep and how to improve your sleep because it's so important so I want to do that but you know Galen needs help as usual so any help you all can give Galen Foundation as well it's a 5013c and if ask them to help us out as well and of course they can come to our talks and our websites as well
