Episode 159- HOT TOPIC! What ACTUALLY Happens During a 5 Day Fast


Listen Later

Energetically speaking, what happens in the body during an extended fast? Where does energy come from during a long fast and how does the body maintain its metabolic needs? I discuss all this and more in this week's podcast episode! Tune in to be encouraged and understand what fasting periods best fit your goals! 

[2:16]- What happens in the first 12 hours of fasting? Why should almost EVERYONE fast for a minimum of 12 hours daily?

[12:00]- What is a low energy state? How does the body thrive in this state? 

[18:03]- You’re 24 hours in! How is the body using autophagy to meet its energy needs?

[21:27]- The human growth hormone is incredibly active at 48 hours fasted! What is happening in the brain? This is fascinating! 

[32:51]- Three days into a water only fast… how is the body actively fighting precancerous cells and protein here? 

[35:57]- Should you reach 5 days, autophagy intensifies, release of protective hormones increases, and the body continues to “eat” stored body fat for energy. 

[38:38]- Why it is person-to-person dependent regarding when autophagy and breakdown of stored body fat begins!
