The Health Confidential with Simone Gisondi

Unlocking the Benefits of Fasting: Autophagy and Cellular Repair


Listen Later

In this episode, Simone discusses the topic of fasting, specifically comparing water fasting to dry fasting and highlighting the benefits of each. She explains the concept of autophagy and cellular repair, insulin sensitivity, weight loss, brain function, and hormonal balance in relation to fasting. Simone emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between water fasting and dry fasting, detailing how dry fasting can be more efficient in cleansing the body without the need for elimination processes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Dry fasting allows the body to reach a deep cleansing state three times quicker than water fasting, making it a superior option for healing and detoxification.

  • Autophagy, the process of cells removing damaged components and using them for fuel, is activated during fasting, leading to cellular repair and regeneration.

  • Overeating before starting a fast, especially a dry fast, can undermine the process and hinder the body's ability to enter a state of autophagy and deep cleansing.

  • Fasting in a clean and moist environment, such as near an ocean or in nature, can enhance the detoxification process and support the body's healing mechanisms.

  • Starting a fast with a clear intention, commitment, and understanding of the process can help maximize the benefits and ensure a successful fasting experience.

BEST MOMENTS

"It actually takes three times longer on water for the body to get to the same stage of deep cleansing as it does when you do dry fasting."

"So fasting is actually more well suited for the summer."

"Dry fasting is actually easier than water fasting, as long as the GI tract is engaged." 

"Autophagy means self-eating, literally."

"The body absorbs through the skin, it also absorbs through inhalation."
