The party also wants to improve pharmaceuticals and the drug industry generally, getting rid of the "big pharma" negatives.

[@manofbeard]

I have been on a intermittent fasting journey for around 9 months now. I use the 18/6 method and I have lost 64 lbs. But the real bonus for me has been Autophagy. Every 4-5 weeks I will go on a water fast. The first time was for 72hrs. Then I did it again for 96hrs. The benefit of mental clarity is eye opening. But the benefit I noticed mostly is that the pain I used to experience in both my knees has become so much more manageable. No pain killers. Just letting nature do what our bodies are made to do. I do on occasion get sore knees again. But not anywhere near as bad as they were. I also walk a great deal. Anywhere between 6-10 miles a day. Most days it around 7 miles in under 2 hours and these days that is done with comparative ease. I cannot recommend strongly enough the real benefits of Autophagy. And I certainly feel that Doctors and more health practitioners should be doing more to promote this. Especially if you are overweight or someone with constant symptoms causing you pain. You have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain by trying this.

I will be 66 on March 4th this year. I began my journey of intermittent fasting with an aggressive carb and sugar restricted diet in the latter part of June, 2021. I began just eating one good meal per day. It was much easier to do than i thought it would be. After two months of that, i lost about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat. I was also able to reverse almost every chronic health problem that plagued me for decades. Some of those conditions included obesity, a fatty liver, edema in my lower legs and feet which led to chronic cellulitis occurring in the lower legs. I would bruise easily, contract infections easily, and it would take a long time to heal. I was also urinating frequently at night, had occasional hypertension and had symptoms related to COPD, among other things. All of these conditions have at best, completely reversed, and at worst, have greatly improved. There are two issues that i am still struggling with. My feet are always sore, and my toes are stiff. I suspect that there may still be some stubborn neuropathy in my feet. And have also had a hard time of eliminating the puffiness under my eyes. Do you think it could be helpful if i try multi day extended fasting once in a while?

Excellent, this theory will revelutionise the concept of health and medicine. Thank you for explaining in most advanced scientific way. We are practicing this method since 1989 after realising the efficacy of fasting for six days which removed my decades old Asthma.

As a Muslim in our religion we do dry fasting from sun rise to sun sit about 16 hour some time 18 or 19 hours. 1) binding 30 days dry fasting in year in Ramzan if you are healthy 2) their is voluntary fasting which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) use to do on Monday and Thursday so 2 days per week. 3)voluntry 10 days fasting before pilgrimage 4)voluntry 3 days on muharam So a practicing Muslim should follow it but mostly people does not benefit from it because when they break fast they eat a lot and use high sugar soft drink. .. Gernally it's command from our prophet that make 3 parts of your stomach 1 for food 2 for water 3 for air So in days your are not fasting you should eat enough so that your hunger go down.overeating is discourage .A moderation is encourage in every part of life. It's good to see that modern science also promote fasting. we feel really happy that every command from Allah has benefit for human being. Very nice video full of information I was searching on autophagy but not getting full information in mostly videos..but this video help me a lot specially the presentation was very nice.. Thanks

Autophagy is a completely new word to me and one I have come across recently, so decided to investigate further. You video popped up and I though perfect!! You have blown my mind with such a clear concise explanation. I have suffered for years with an autoimmune condition and depression, I recently reached a crisis point and felt the only other thing I could change was my diet, skip toward 3months and I have learnt so so much about the mind body connection. This is the icing on the cake and has propelled me further with my diet and IF. Thank you so much 😊

Excellent video that gives a concise but well explained summary of autophagy and fasting. Can’t wait to share this one with my wife. I am about to turn 46 in another week and I have been doing something different this year. Through a combination of getting back into the gym for 60 minute workouts three times a week, better eating habits which include an 80% reduction in processed foods, and a healthy balance of intermittent and longer-term fasting (my longest so far is 40 hours but I hope to improve that to 72 and beyond) I have so far reduced my weight from 205 to 188 and more importantly I feel better, I think Sharper, and I’m not dreading 46 like I once was. I’ve replaced numerous pounds of fat with muscle growth! I’m now on a quest to be healthier and more physically fit at 50 than I was at 30.

[@drrajsree]

Thank you, Dr. Nambudripad, for a clear, thorough review of autophagy and its benefits. There is a lot of dubious, melodramatic information about health posted on KZbin. Your video was like a breath of fresh air. I wish that more KZbinrs would adopt your clear, well-organized approach to discussing health-related topics.

[@JonMartinEngebretsen]

One of the best videos I have watched regarding Autophagy, Intermittent fasting and so on. I was kind of missing some more comments about what happens in the body when we eat and insuline are produced regarding fat storage and how this hormone stops the Autophagy process. It is a great compilation of all the information I have obtained about the subject from T. Delauer and Dr. Berg to mention some of the more well known resources in this field. Thank you so much for a great video which I have already shared with friends.

Subscribed to add another intelligent person to my Arsenal of healing. I have gone from 340 to 240 in exactly one year. I do 16 hour fasts every day, basically my normal eating schedule now and a 24 hour once a week. I’ve implemented 72 hr once every 2 months. My triglycerides have gone from 300 to 99 and fasting insulin 125 to 95 I feel better but I have a 40 lbs to go. Keep up the great work and thank you for the life saving information.

[@wavescrashinginside]

Very informative very eloquent clear description on what's going on with your body and ways to heal your body. with the benefits of intermittent fasting. Thank you💕 for many years inadvertently I may have been doing this in my working day each day. I used to take my beautiful Daughter to school she used to like me taking her and picking her up from school. I was self-employed and I thought I can do this. I used to drop her off at 8.30 and pick her up at 3 p.m. from when she was little First School right up until she was 16, from school, (from when we she was 15/16 sometimes she walked home, but I always make sure to be home to greet her) this gave me 5.5 hours work straight through with no lunch breaks then get her evening dinner ready so that meant I hadn't eaten from 5 p.m. to 5 p.m. my job was very hard physically outdoors I just used to run on filtered black coffee in a flask all I had all day was just one small square 1 inch by 1 inch what I called an energy cake I made which consisted of wholegrain self-raising flour one complete orange and lemon with peel with some cane sugar blended and baked. I had to have something because once I nearly fell over where I went a bit wobbly. I used to sometimes feel like I was revving like a racing engine but I gained working time by not having lunch breaks and working straight through. I noticed I felt extremely fit and I had good muscle definition. I became very attached you could almost say addicted to filtered coffee. Extremely sadly, emotionally very hard to deal with my beautiful Daughter took her own life - non deliberate suicide-- at 16yr 2 months old with taking a massive overdose of her prescribed medicine. In Remembrance of her I still drink filtered coffee every day it reminds me of the good times my beautiful Daughter and I had together I used to take her to work with me it was safe we were in the middle of nowhere or Fields was sometimes people's gardens. I visit her garden every day, I have difficulty saying grave I call it her garden. I go to see her everyday without fail it has been 8 years 5 months 1 week 5 days. I lght 2 candles on her garden in small lanterns so the wind don't blow then out, although I can tell the way the wind is blowing through the trees there probably won't keep a light some days but I try anyway. The kindly doctor you came out to me, a day later I think after my Daughter went away. I was really really traumatised crying, beyond words what feels like. He was really good words and advice, he said when you're ready go to work, work is good, do whatever it is you need to do each day keep busy. I understood what he meant take your mind off things, not to think. Very often there was no one there I used to be crying at work every day. 1-year ago One day I know it's my heart was like missing a beat or the next one would be a very big beat. Concerned I went to the doctor's when they wired me up my heart was good my blood pressure was I though 167/ 85 when I mentioned The coffee thing I got up to 2 L A Day they stopped writing and said that that wouldn't help your BP. I completely stopped it's now 119 / 69 I have started drinking the coffee again but no more three quarters of a litre / 1 pint I have not come to terms with my daughter going I've just learnt to live each day💕💕 I apologise if this is too long comment but seem to help writing

I am a retired teacher and I loved this presentation! I have taught health as well and I think this could be shown to high school students. I believe we need to teach our students MORE about how to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. I would certainly want them to know how to meditate and how to combat metabolic syndrome, diabetes and all of the benefits mentioned in this video. My goal as a teacher was to help students be successful with the stress on happiness more than any money. I want my PCP to be in integrative medicine and though I live near Seattle, they seem to be few are far between. Any ideas?
