Autophagy is derived from the Greek words auto and phagy, which means self-eating. Scientists first discovered that human cells could eat themselves in the 1950s when they noticed under a microscope that the cell constituents were consuming certain other smaller parts of it.

Since then, the understanding of autophagy and its effect on human health and disease has developed. Its potential use for beneficial and therapeutic purposes may be more far-reaching than scientists once thought.

However, should you always be trying to encourage autophagy in your body? And how is diet and nutrition related to this process? In this article, I will uncover the pros and cons of enhancing autophagy, and when it is beneficial to stimulate this process for therapeutic purposes.

In today's episode, you will learn more about the power of cellular health for your overall health and what you can do to help to keep your cells thriving.
