Fasting & Gut Health: Regeneration + Stem Cell Production

[@doctablademd]

Nice to see a discussion about fasting that goes beyond just weight loss. The pain and impact of having gut issues is a pretty strong motivation to try out fasting and it makes sense why it could help. Gonna share this with my clients

[@떡볶이나리]

[@haydencook682]

We've spent about 275k years as a species not really knowing when or what our next meal was...we developed this way. It makes sense why we WANT to eat all the time, but it's also not hard to see why a huge shift in our eating habits has caused massive issues.

[@matejsmrekar1218]

I would only like to add that even when we wanted to eat all the time , we couldn't. If the hunt was unsuccessful then its fasting time. I watched some videos about current tribes going without eating for like 6 days sometimes simply because they didn't catch anything so I think our bodies are well designed to survive well enough without food just as long as you carry some body fat.

Thank you so much Mike. I’ve suffered from depression for practically my entire adult life. I have also suffered from so pretty bad acne. I have always instinctively known that the worse my GI tract feels, the worse the depression and acne will get. And it just happens that I have that terrible tendency to eat pretty much around the clock. I have watched a lot of your videos recently and you have inspired me to give fasting and a regular excerise program a try. I’ll report back in a couple weeks on how things are progressing.

I'm trying to go 30 days water fasting right now. I believe it has saved my life. Have seen 18 doctors in the last year(ill skip the part where all of my problems started after one dose of pfizer, too long a story). Im 42 and was active, not overweight and ate fairly well.. Although the doctors have found numerous serious issues none can find the cause. I went from non functioning and incapacitated with back pain, liver and intestinal inflammation due to elevated enzymes, bacterial or viral infection, body was making antibodies to 5 different viruses none of which I was showing any symptoms, elevated heart rate,, high blood pressure, elevated troponin, and the list goes on. Im now 18 days into this fast(against the recommendation of my primary doctor) and every single marker I have has improved so significantly it borders on miraculous. I wish I understood what is going on but with no education in biology I will prob never know. But whatever is happening is nothing short of a miracle and im shocked (well not really) the medical industry isn't aware of this process and the benefits associated with it. Although maybe they do and that's why people don't know.

[@erikasanchez7972]

Sad that the last 40 years has seen such a rapid decline in the education a medical professional gets. They have been reduced to chart readers that will actually tell you “I don’t know anything about diet, vitamins or minerals. You would need to see a holistic doctor.” Come to find out this is also by design. Now it is better not to get medical, care in the USA. My new question now is what type of person would pay 8 years of schooling to be dumbed down by the education system and big pharmaceutical, not a person that wants to help others🙁 only a person that wants to pay their BMW.

[@paulscott88]

Just started a serious plan a little over two months ago, down about 25 lbs already. One meal for two days in a row, and a day of fasting. Still in the miracle period where I'm still able to gain some muscle while still losing weight, even though I'm just doing simple exercises like pushups/squats/similar (was really unfit). And it's really nice that all my pants now need a belt, and that I've even shrunk out of being able to use an old belt. Still a few months away from being merely overweight looking at height/weight BMI charts. No idea when I should expect weight loss to start to slow down though.

That is interesting about what you said earlier in the video about allergies and gut health because I was interested in vitamin A (because of your video speaking about how it also can influence allergies as several years ago I developed seasonal allergies and I really don't like it because my job still has me outside most of the day) so I went and found some vitamin A to supplement with my nutrition protocol that I already feel I get plenty as it is, although I still wanted to supplement increase that to help with the allergies, and when I had noticed that the gel capsule was a soy product, I immediately quit taking them because I was already noticing a small shift in my mood and I try to avoid estrogen as much as possible, and wanted off of the allergy pills as they were storing aluminum in my armpit as if I was using an antiperspirant, yet I did notice that when I went from having one cheat meal a week to one cheat meal a month, I haven't had the need to take my allergy medicine or any concern over being deficient in vitamin A just because of that, and since you brought that up, I kind of want to go down to maybe 6 cheat meals a year and see if that further decreases any symptoms of allergies even further

[@lawdogwales5921]

Get down to three cheat meals per year and you won't have any allergies at all.

[@mikeward9870]

@Whatsapp①⑧⓪②④③⑧③⑥⑥⓪ Breakfast starts with some ferment liquid (thanks to Mindy Pelz for this, which includes live probiotics, postbiotic signaling molecules, salt, bio-water??), coffee (perhaps with cinnamon or tumeric+pepper if I feel like it), bone broth (for 3-day and longer fasts), and a 2-egg omelette with curried onions and goat cheese along with lime-salted avocado bacon followed by at least 1.5 hours of no food (for easy jump-start of the ol' digestive tract). Next meal starts with appetizers of aged European cheeses with a variety of feremented vegs (usually sauerkraut, lacto-ferment onions) with some prebiotic raw radishes, washed down with diluted ACV+salts (Na, K, Mg). Whatever main course is followed by dessert of fruit+fermented cream+nuts (to get some probiotic Bifido's and their post-ferments). Sometimes 2, but ususally 3 meals that day, with the last (latest) including 6oz grass fed beef or lamb + healthy carbs (vegs and fruits, no grains) to hit all the rebuild signals. Often the day starts with my cold shower, then 15m HIIT (pullups, pushups, crunches, planks+, dips) to help trigger rebuilding too. I'm just reading Gundry's new book The Keto Code and see many of the health threads converging on the mitochondrial health tapestry. However, I think longer fasting and autophagy are primary and competing threads to be interwoven as well.
