Heme

And these are all things that the growth hormone and the BDNF contribute to.

also at 48 hours we're going to see some of the lowest insulin levels we have seen since we started and when we lower insulin we lower inflammation and if we keep this up if we gradually lower insulin and reduce insulin resistance now we're also reversing all of the aspects of metabolic syndrome the high blood pressure the belly fat the cardiovascular risk etc at 72 hours things really start kicking in and we see deeper levels of autophagy which means more cleanup of these things we talked about the debris and the waste the misfolded proteins and other low quality parts so the body gets really really picky because it says you know I really need some resources I need to build this thing over here and this thing wasn't perfect so let's disassemble that and and rebuild it but here's what really starts to kick in that's interesting at 72 hours and big words hematopoietic stem cell regeneration and rejuvenation so Heme has to do with blood and poesis poetic has to do with building with making and stem cells are the cells that are the originator cells the cells that become other things so it's like the baby cells that we use to make other cells and therefore this process in other words is a form of rejuvenation it's rejuvenation of the tissues and when we're building the new tissues it's like a younger quality to it so this is pretty profound this is about the white blood cells which is our immune cells and they have found that if you do repeated fasting not all the time but at certain intervals of 72 hours now you get some protection against chemotherapy so chemotherapy is like an evil fight to fight an evil it's a poison and you're giving it to the body in the hope that it will poison the cancer cells more then it will poison the body cells but it is a burden it's a severe burden and therefore it has a tendency to suppress the body's stem cells and the body's immune system and the generation of these white blood cells but what they have found is that if you do this fasting you can offset the damaging effects of chemotherapy so the people who fast while they're doing chemo they maintain their immune system at much higher levels if we keep going to 120 hours or five days then there is nothing dramatically new that's happening but we are increasing the degree of everything that we talked about before it either stabilizes or builds to higher levels and more than that it gives us more time and we have more time for fat burning if your goal is weight loss we have more time for cleanup and repair if you are interested in autophagy and reversing disease and we have more time to turn around momentum so think about all of these disease processes and all your metabolic pathways as having momentum and if you go a little bit longer now you have higher degrees of turnaround but you also allow more time so it's sort of like a super tanker you can't turn it right away but if you're patient it will happen over time and with this you're also allowing the cells to forget their old set points so again with these tendencies we have in the body the body develops set points they're set points for all sorts of different things including your body weight so if you have a tendency to bounce back then this can help in setting a new set point forgetting the old set point and finally creating a new one I often get asked when does it start and people want a specific timeline it's like yes but just tell me the answer tell me when it begins and it doesn't work like that so I created this to sort of try to give you an idea that everything is always there to some degree but it either increases or decreases so glucose for example is going to slowly decrease over several days until it stabilizes because glucose is something we have to have blood glucose it will never go away Same thing with insulin it will always be needed when you don't eat you're allowing more time for it to decrease but we are going to have a baseline level that's going to be necessary at all times.

growth hormone is going to have a low baseline level but it's going to increase so by the time we hit 48 hours we'll have 500 percent more growth hormone and then it will probably slowly increase but not indefinitely it'll hit a plateau and sort of stabilize at that level ketones and autophagy these are things that they're not absolute zeros but they're virtually zero they're virtually non-existent before 12 hours and then they barely start and then they get some momentum around the 18 hour mark now take a look at this a lot of people most people who eat three or more meals are never going to get past 12 hours of fasting so they never will change their baseline markers they'll never experience autophagy or any significant ketones but if you just get to 18 hours something as simple as skipping breakfast and having an earlier dinner now you're seeing more growth hormone you're seeing some ketones and you're even seeing some autophagy kick in at 24 hours we're doing the same thing we're seeing increases in all of those and if we can keep going till 48 hours now we're seeing dramatic increases in these like we said with growth hormone we're up fivefold.

Then if we can go one more day to 72 hours now we're seeing most of the changes that we're looking for if we're trying to reverse a disease or start affecting stem cells and things like that.
