Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• The single most black and white thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer is to incorporate regular prolonged fasts
• If you’re healthy, regular fasts are one of one of the best things you can do for your body
• Before you think about jumping on the intermittent fasting bandwagon, first consider all the nutrients you’re missing out on from the foods you do consume (protein, fiber, micronutrients, fiber, vegetables)
  • Add these foods into your diet before starting to skip meals
• Do NOT look at fasting as an easy way to lose weight
• The best way to fast is to lead into it with a low-carbohydrate/ketogenic type diet that’s relatively low-calorie
• When breaking a fast, eat easily digestible foods in small portions (otherwise you’re in for a horrible stomach ache and diarrhea)
• If you’re relatively healthy, long fasts seem to not have any negative effects
