In This Episode:
In this podcast episode, I go over what happens during a 24 hour fast. Some of the things discussed include autophagy, fat burning, ketones, microbiome reset and more as described below.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your body when you engage in a 24-hour fast? In the latest episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers delves deep into the science and benefits of fasting for a full day. This enlightening discussion is not just a biology lesson; it’s a revelation of the body’s incredible ability to heal and rejuvenate through fasting.
Unleashing the Fat-Burning Machine Within
Dr. Jockers explains how a 24-hour fast transitions your body into a fat-burning state, utilizing stored fat for energy, and promoting significant weight loss, especially the harmful visceral fat that surrounds vital organs. This episode will change the way you think about body fat and its impact on overall health.
The Brain-Boosting Benefits of Ketones
As your body begins to burn fat, it produces ketones, powerful molecules that have a profound effect on brain health. Dr. Jockers discusses how ketones not only fuel the brain but also help reduce inflammation, detoxify brain cells, and balance neurotransmitters. This episode offers a fascinating look at how fasting can change your mind—for the better.
Autophagy: Cellular Detox and Rejuvenation
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect covered is autophagy, where cells cleanse themselves of damaged parts, leading to regeneration and improved cellular function. Dr. Jockers provides compelling insights into how fasting activates this process, enhancing your body’s ability to repair and renew itself on a cellular level.
