Autophagy For Better Brain and Body Health?
Hello! I've read autophagy can be life-changing; positively affecting the slowing (reversing or removing) cancer cells and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimers), and lowering inflammation throughout the body. (And, of course, the significant effects on weight and autoimmune disorders.) If this is true, how do we safely get stay in autophagy and how do we effectively exit? I've been practicing OMAD for over a year and occasionally do extended fasts (up to 80 hours). During long fasting times, I monitor my blood glucose and ketone levels and take electrolytes as needed. IRS (insulin resistance syndrome, about as welcome as the other IRS) is an issue I want to avoid. While I have read books/articles and watched videos on this subject, there is a significant lack of understandable and comprehensive information for the public concerning FASTING: How to, Who should (or should not), How long to, When to, General pros/cons. Autophagy is such an amazing topic (it's funny watching people's faces when you explain what 'autophagy is!), I'd suggest a podcast episode to cover it...or at least I hope you'll be able to give a detailed answer. Thank you for your consideration.
Zone 2 150-200 mins.
The Fitness Protocol episode was stellar. Thanks for consolidating so much data into this routine, and sharing it with us all. My question is about Zone 2 minimums for mitochondrial benefits, and how this might be worked into the Protocol. Sunday Zone 2 workout is given. Tuesday's day of rest makes sense. But which workouts in the weekly list would it be optimal to pair the Zone 2 work with?
