today's talk is very controversial. 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 better 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.

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

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 good 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 you this 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 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

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).

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 City award 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 and 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 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

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

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 end our story

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

so

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 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 lots 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

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 flour 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.
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 no we take the bottle of water with
us to bed.

So our body is made to fast and is 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 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 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 at 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. it's true eating is dangerous.

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 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. 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 to
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.

so your glucose level is maintained for another 12 hours or so….

I think 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 there's no
food (it's not just the sugar), fats in your body say okay we are here utilize us… the only way fat can
come into utilization is the insulin levels must down. so the inculin 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 fat 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.

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, up to 70 percent 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 it 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 15 of your
entire energy source is now going to be ketones. how are you going to feel with ketones? just fine…
no problem….

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.

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 ketocent Genesis 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 mydeposit
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 you’re your insulin Nails right now 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 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 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 in….so if somebody is taking insulin, how does that affect you doomed….

so somebody who's taking insulin show me…

somebody who takes insulin every day…

and oh yeah I can lose weight just like that. they can't lose weight yeah 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 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 A1C 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 I am talking about

people who have high insulin levels

because I 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 so after

you eat in a 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 Fed 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 instant 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. 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 yeah 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, 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 bushy tail bright-eyed

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 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 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 point one

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 a 2 000 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

it's a growth hormone that 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 younger 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 he's got a blank

in his 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

[Music]

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 100

000 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

um 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

uh 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

you know people who who who who would

like to help this type of organization

ask them to help us out as well and of

course they can come to our talks and

our websites as well
