In this podcast, I want to cover autophagy and the real reason why autophagy exists.

What is autophagy? - Autophagy is a condition where your body takes damaged proteins and recycles them. The recycling process provides amino acids for fuel, and to be used as raw material to build tissue. Autophagy was created to cope with starvation. During starvation or fasting, autophagy acts as a survival mechanism.

Damaged proteins are very toxic to the body. It’s very beneficial to get these damaged proteins out of the body. Autophagy also eliminated microbes and viruses.

Types of damaged proteins: • Misfolded proteins • Oxidized proteins • Mutated proteins • Glycated proteins

Autophagy is not a mechanism that switches on and off. Autophagy is always going on unless you have an issue like high blood sugar or an inflammatory condition.

You probably have an effective autophagy system if you’re doing: 1. Keto 2. Exercise (as you exercise your efficiency with autophagy also improves) 3. Fasting (18 hours or longer is great for autophagy)

Autophagy benefits: • Anti-aging and enhancing benefits • It gets rid of things that are very unhealthy for your body
