Ways to "Direct" Autophagy to Certain Body Parts?

Are there any ways to influence which parts of the body undergo autophagy when fasting? Or do we just have to let the body tear down and repair the areas it "sees" as priority? For example, if I had an old injury that I wanted more healing and remodeling in, would applying a warm compress (to simulate inflammation), infra-red treatment, ultra-sound application, or ___?___ to that old injury during a 24-72 hour water fast step up autophagy in that area for faster repair? Are you aware of any other methods to direct the body's attention to a certain area when in autophagy during a fast? Thank you!

Speech & Annunciation

Hey Dr. Huberman, thanks for your continued dedication to science! I would love to hear more about proper speech, annunciation, and correcting speech impediments into adulthood. I’ve heard that once you reach a certain age, it’s VERY difficult to alter course but believe, like anything, there’s a possibility of improvement. We know how important clear articulation is, especially with certain occupations, so I think it’s a well-worthy topic to dive into!
