      Hello doctor ekberg I'd like to know after how many hours of fasting does autopaghy start? Some say after 18 hours some say after 24 hours some even say after 36 hrs so I'm very confused which is right

      A friend decided to get the government clot-shot. And if you don't know, many MANY coroners are finding huge extremely gross clots. I think these may be some of those weird formations of protein. If so, would autophagy an effective countermeasure to these clots?

    I'm 75 and I do HIIT training 3-4 times/wk, but I have been doing this for years, so I can tell when i need more recovery days and act accordingly. I never do the same workouts twice in a row. These exercises vary among hill running and bike hill intervals, rowing machine, kettle bell lifts from floor to above my head, stationary bike bursts, hitting the heavy bag and running on the spot for 60 second intervals, and sometime running stairs in a downtown office building, 18 floors, two steps at a time, elevator down, for 3 sets .But I try to do mostly compound movements, ie. full body motion utilizing many muscle groups at once. So on a slow day when I'm not looking for too much fuss, while watching tv, I'll do sets of 30 second push offs from a chair with handles and just touching my bottom to the seat. This is a compound exercise and is so convenient and effective, just doing it right on the spot. I take walks or jog lightly on alternate days. I do intermittent fasting 16-18 hrs, and eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but including one tin of canned sockeye salmon/wk, one half on one day, the other half 2-3or 4 days later. The other protein sources for me are nuts: walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts for selenium, pumpkin seeds, pecans, etc.. I eat about 10-12 veggies per day, and avocado, sometimes in stir fry with beans in coconut oil. I have some cheddar cheese, almond butter, yogurt with mixed frozen berries, grapefruit juice. I love eggs and make omelettes with most of the veggies. Sometimes veg pasta with veggies. I take 4000-5000 vitamin d3, magnesium, zinc, b6- b12 k2, and vit C. I don't eat sweets or fast burning carbs, I listen to my body and take full day brakes when I feel lethargic. My body knows best. The other thing is, I quit going to the gym and do everything at home. I have a door pull up bar, bike trainer, dumbbells, kettle bell, exercise ball, ab roller, various tension bands and use a walker without the seat attachment for dips. I no longer need the gym to get a full workout. Saves time and money. I never smoked, do drugs of any kind and don't drink. I get high on life and art. I'm not an exercise fanatic, just consciousness. When younger, I over trained with long hard workouts and paid the price in injuries and colds. Hard, long duration workouts compromise the immune system and has the reverse affect of breaking the body down instead of building up, so you can be fit but not healthy, just like Doc Ekberg says. My workouts are short and sweet, or at least short and I feel almost as young as a 30 years old me. Just a little wiser though.

      Yes isometrics are a very good technique. I do reps plus a static hold with the isobow - you will find that your strength improves . There are some very good training vids on YT .
      If I could recommend a regime -
      (1) overhead press 10 x reps plus a static hold of between 7 to seconds .
      (2) incline press 10 x reps ............
      (3) bench press 10 x reps ..............
      (4) decline press 10 x reps ..............
      (5) dips 10 x reps ............
      These can all be done in the standing position. After a time you can increase the reps from 10 to 12 ,as can do with the static hold . Try not to hold your breath while doing exercises.
      Sometimes I will only do static holds - all is good as it’s a very versatile piece of equipment.
      You can look up if you wish is the Harry Wong workout ( he was a student of Bruce Lee ) .
      Any info on isometrics and such - just ask me .
      Good luck and good health Mary .

      ​@@Mrs.TJTaylor Your comment caught my eye and thought I would share some of my fasting experiences. Please know, I am not boasting nor am I preaching Jesus & The Holy Spirit. I am openly sharing some experiences for your encouragement & consideration.
      1) To date, I have been fasting, 14 years, for spiritual reasons rather than personal health. (learning of the health benefits by watching Dr. Ekberg)
      2) The first fast I did was a 30 day "Media Fast" (no TV, radio, internet, books, magazines, etc.), which helped to build the ability to say no to my flesh.
      3) My initial fasting from food, water only, was 1 day a week for 4 months
      4) After 4 months of weekly fasting I decided to do a 3 day, water only fast. Truthfully, it wasn't difficult at all.
      5) I have done eight 7 day water only fasts, for me, day 5 is the most difficult.
      6) Again, I am not boasting when I say I have also done three longer fasts. 15 days, 23 days, 29 days.
      7) I have a close personal friend who has done three 40 day water only fasts. To be transparent, the last two required a hospital visit to recover.
      *In conclusion*, for medical & health reasons, I would suggest fasting no longer than 3 days. That said, fasting for spiritual reasons, is impossible in our own human strength, requiring The Holy Spirit of The Triune God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
      Again, this is not the place nor my intent, to preach the Gospel of Jesus, I am simply sharing my experiences regarding fasting.

Well I thought running would be good BUT if I tried to jog fast my spine felt like it was a part full roll of quarters (vertebrae, and cartilage just smashing together) so I didn’t try that anymore. After about 3 years of real food and low carbs I realized my back was feeling solid, now I run fast and the action is reviving my muscles coordination and I love that people staring at me when I blast past them. :)

Is it natural that people get essential components of human diet from a mountain on the other side of the world? 🤦‍♀️ There is absolutely no advantage only that Himalayan salt is sometimes a bit less pure ("more minerals" 🤦‍♀️) and more expensive. Oh, and I guess it's pink (sometimes even artificially intensified).

    I'm 55 yo, 160lbs, 5 foot 7, and have never been fitter than I am today. For the past two years I've been exercising almost daily with an average of 2+hrs a day, which is made up of weight work one day, then cardio the other (biking, walking, hiking, boxing a bag, swimming). I normally do a full body weight workout, but will depend on how much I worked my legs the day before. I do abdominal exercises almost every day. I started this routine because I was retired due to ill health and became quite sedentary and got really bored and sick of that lifestyle, plus I was struggling with my mental health. I eat pretty well, but nothing extreme. I just make sure I don't eat much crap and don't over-indulge in anything. I interval fast as well. Sleeping on hot nights is tricky sometimes, but I usually get plenty of sleep (with no job to go to it's easier lol). I'm lucky that I have so much free time, but most people could do at least 30-60 mins a day of something to match what you advise. Now I just have to work out what I want to live longer for.

    Dear Dr. Ekberg, first of all, I would like to thank you for your quality content. Coming from not only a healthcare professional but also an athlete, your perspective is particularly interesting for people like me.
    When talking about exercise, the usual recommendations refer to weight lifting routines or exercises like running, rope jumping, burpees, etc., but it would be interesting if you could analyze specific sports or disciplines and map these activities with the potential benefits or disadvantages from the health and longevity perspective.
    In my case, I'm 51 years old, I've been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 20 years and currently my training regime is five or six BJJ classes a week (60 to 90 minutes each) including warm-up, drilling (repeating a specific technique to perfect the movements) and high intensity rolling sessions with other BJJ practitioners. Also, I do intermittent fasting, alternating OMAD from Monday to Friday, and 16:8 on the weekends, eating a low carb diet where I include high quality protein and fat, and also low carb vegetables.
    It would be great to hear your opinions about BJJ training from the perspective of longevity and health, and also nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
    Thank you again!

    Some minor corrections:
    Glucose can be oxidized and will always be oxidized when there is enough oxygen available. No lactic acid is produced when there is adequate oxygen to maintain oxidation. Fermentation occurs when there is not enough oxygen for oxidation, and only fermentation produces lactic acid.
    Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, which happens to all glucose as a preparatory step before oxidation or fermentation of glucose.

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
    00:00 *🏋️ Autophagy and its benefits*
    - Autophagy, or "self-eating," is a cellular process crucial for longevity, brain health, and immunity.
    - Nutrient lack (fasting) and oxygen lack (exercise-induced hypoxia) are key triggers for autophagy.
    - Misfolded proteins can accumulate without autophagy, leading to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
    01:19 *🧠 Importance of protein structure*
    - Proteins fold into complex structures crucial for their function.
    - Misfolded proteins can aggregate and disrupt cellular functions.
    - Autophagy clears out these misfolded proteins, crucial for neural health and disease prevention.
    05:10 *🔄 Autophagy mechanisms and benefits*
    - Autophagy cleans up cellular debris and promotes longevity.
    - It activates survival mechanisms and helps in preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
    - Exercise and fasting are primary methods to induce autophagy, each with distinct benefits and mechanisms.
    24:17 *🏋️‍♂️ Exercise and Recovery*
    - Exercise breaks down muscles and joints, requiring proper recovery.
    - Whole, nutrient-dense foods are essential for muscle and joint repair.
    - Allow 48 to 72 hours of rest after intense full-body workouts.
    25:16 *🚶‍♂️ Movement and Autophagy*
    - Balance high-intensity workouts with regular movement.
    - Aim for about 10,000 steps daily, potentially more for optimal health.
    - Incorporate 30 minutes of enjoyable movement, like walking or playing sports, several times a week.
    27:06 *🩸 Understanding Blood Work*
    - Consider joining a live blood work course for in-depth understanding.
    - The course offers modules that cover interpreting blood work.
    - Early access includes discounts and lifetime access to course recordings.

    I did 3-4-5 days of fasting and it is not difficult and nothing terrible happens. For some reason we are told that with a few days fasting we should be starving to the point when we faint because of the energy deficiency and lot of health issues come from nowhere… I can say that all these scary stories are the lie! There is no starving, no bad feeling, no obvious negative effects at all! After 4-5 days of fasting I usually would loose 8-10 lb., but this will come back in a month or so. However, there are a few pretty magical things happen… Some joints would stop hurting. It’s like someone just had turned that pain feelings off on that joint! I have my right wrist issues and after 4-5 days it just becomes completely num! This effect would last for a month or so. The sleep is getting way deeper and you get calm in your mind. I would definitely recommend to everyone to do 4-5 days fasting to just see if it does something good to you.

    Excellent explanation and advice on exercise. Much pain and discouragement is rooted in the mistaken belief that techniques/activities appropriate for fit people seeking "elite performance" are also appropriate for less-fit people seeking "healthy fitness". Step one is to get off the couch and take a walk, and it delivers amazing gains with very little pain.

    Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your lessons. Since I have started to follow your instructions I really see some good results especially with losing weight. I am on intermittent fasting and it works so far very well.

    Hi
    I completely understand the logic in the message you are conveying. The less we eat and the less we breathe, the longer we will live because of all the science (less to oxygenate the body, less free radicals, etc.) I recently received an analysis of my DNA and on the subject of nutrition it was written that in terms of my genes it is not recommended that I fast and that my main food should be carbohydrates. Even in the experiment and wondering I did, I saw that it suits me best. I would appreciate a response. Many thanks in advance.

    The gold standard for HIIT training is apparently 4 x 4 mins (with 4 mins rest between each 4 min high intensity run etc) - from study in Norway.

    Thank you Dr Sten. I have been experimenting with fasting for about six months now, in combination with my long time twice weekly exercise routine. Have noticed increased energy, strength and muscle mass. Increased my fasting ability from 24hours to 4days over this time. Now do a once a week 48hour fast and a four day fast once every three months. Press ups which are part of my exercises have increased from my usual 30/32 before I started fasting to my highest ever 46 on my latest session which were yesterday. Your advice has been very helpful. I should mention that I am 80 years old in 4days so it’s never to late to start.

      @@phillipoleary2532 Ty. I have tried multiple fasting protocols and honestly, I hated all of them. The last round of a 5-day fast-mimicking ( and I did do multiple day water fasting, never got easy despite all other claims) was about a year ago and I decided not to try it again for a good long while. I never kept off any of the weight that I lost and I found out that over a period of time I lost quite a bit of muscle, which is absolutely not worth it. I was not overweight when I first started any fasting, though I did carry high fat For my weight, but it has remained very steady despite many protocols. I thought maybe if you were heavier, it would’ve made the longer fasting easier, but I guess that’s not related in your case. I think I have to work more on the consistent exercise end. Continued success!
