6 INSANE FASTING Benefits to Reverse Your Age TODAY! | Mark Hyman & Dave Asprey

Fasting helps us switch into a fat-burning mode that utilizes ketones instead of glucose. But, fasting also does more than change the physical body. It’s estimated that 30% of our thoughts are about our next meal. That’s a lot of time and energy wrapped up in food, and fasting can help us regain control of ourselves, our minds, and so much more.

Dave Asprey joined me on The Doctor's Farmacy to share some of his favorite hacks to increase ketone production, balance hunger hormones, and feed good gut bacteria to help us feel satiated and energized even while fasting.

Dave and I also talk about the topic of mitochondrial function, why it matters for healthy aging, and how fasting supports stronger mitochondria. We also look at why fasting is different for women than it is for men and how they can fast in a way that compliments their natural hormonal cycle.

Dave is the founder and Chairman of Bulletproof 360, a high-performance coffee and food company, and creator of the widely-popular Bulletproof Coffee. He is a three-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and has been featured on the Today show, Fox News, Nightline, CNN, and dozens more. Over the last two decades Dave, the “Father of Biohacking”, has worked with world-renowned doctors, researchers, scientists, and global mavericks to uncover the latest, most innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance.

My spouse developed type 2 and went into ketoacidosis and almost died. In ER his blood sugar was 1425 😳. Not a typo! Was in ICU for days. Came out on insulin metformin etc. I told him to forget everything the dietitian told him and put him in keto. Within 6 months was off all meds and his pcp was scratching her head and said she never had a msn come off diabetes meds in her 25 years practicing and asked how he did it. He said my wife put me on a keto diet. She took him off all meds including the Lipitor she had prescribed. He has maintained for 4 years using keto. I learned it from your book blood sugar solution when I developed type 2. 😉

I ordered Dave's twilight blue blockers. They are cheaply made, and not worth $89, imo. More like $20. In fact, I like the way my $20 pair fit me (I lost them, or I'd still be wearing them after 8 years). The packaging and box they came in were great though. AND here is where it goes unethical and slimy. The company offered me 30% off my next order for a good review. AND WAIT, THERE'S MORE, lol...there is no way to give anything but a great review, as they don't allow honest reviews because they screen them all. NOTHING WORSE than a company dishonest enough to pay for reviews. I buy most everything based on reviews. This should be illegal.

My eye sight returned to 20/20. In my career I had to have my eyes checked every six months. Four months after keto and fasting night vision is remarkably better and last test 20/20

Cold shower...amazing! I started maybe a couple of months ago. First time I turned the shower full cold I couldn't bare it for a few seconds. Now I can stay for minutes and it feels great.

[joda]

The cold water thing is for real. The first time I was suffering at the 8 second mark. Now, a minute is nothing and i look forward to it and am energized afterwards.

Amidst this crazy covid crap, so much isolation between vaccinated vs non-vaccinated people, I actually prefer being alone away from the toxicity of ignorance. On a side note, fasting has significantly reduced my menopausal symptoms and my body looks and feels as good, almost even better than it did in my 20s & 30s. And yes, we must honor our elders, how did we lose sight of this?

Mark Hyman is a great man! GOAT ! You can just feel his energy and he is so passionate about what he does and he is the one who kick started my wellness journey. Dave Asprey is so intelligent and I love his bio hacks! What a wealth of information between these two masterminds. Thank you for all you do, I very grateful for you!

Set up a couple of bird feeders when you take time off in December. Watching the birds eat is very relaxing and rewarding. Plus, you'll get some Vitamin D from the sun.

Thank you for your Sharing your knowledge

Bragg's apple cider vinegar in water first thing in the morning much healthier than black coffee.

I hope at the end of my journey I will be able to help someone who also needs help because I care about people.

I agree with you on Spirituality, the more you feed your ME (Toxic), the farther you get from your soul and other important connections.

I really don't want to skip breakfast because it's part of my mindful morning routine to prepare it. Mostly I stop eating in the afternoon intuitive, never thought about fasting in my life. When I stopped doing that and started to eat in the evening, I gained weight for the first time in my life (during quarantine). Now I'm back to my old habits luckily and again don't eat after 2pm. My weight is perfect again. Intermittent fasting is the best method to lose weight and feel fantastic at the same time.

Your guest suggested eating different kinds of EMULSIFIERS, which have been shown to damage the intestinal barrier as well as the gut microbiota.
