#107 Circadian Biology, Keto, Fasting, and Calorie Cycling with Mike Mutzel

Have you wondered what are the physical limitations of your body? How much stress could you handle without losing it? How much exercise could you do without fainting? How many days could you go without getting hungry? Evolutionarily, our bodies are adaptation machines Our bodies get used to a whole range of stressors and stimuli that actually make us stronger and healthier than before. Intermittent fasting is a nutritional strategy that incorporates periods of food abstinence with feasting.  There are many reason people do intermittent fasting, starting with weight loss and ending with anti-aging. But the question I want to ask you is: How does your body respond to exercise while fasting? That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm going to play you the highlights of my recent Facebook Livestream, which includes How does your body respond to exercise while fasting? What's the difference between fasting on a ketogenic diet and a diet that doesn't restrict carbohydrates?  How to avoid muscle loss while fasting? What's the best way to burn fat with fasted exercise? How to do resistance training with intermittent fasting? My personal experience with post-workout fasting And much more...

Imagine being in the middle of freakin nowhere - cold, harsh wilderness Would you be able to survive? Will you die? Or can you become a stronger version of yourself? That's what every life form on this planet has had to deal with - early life on Earth was hazardous and it posed some severe adaptation mechanisms on all that was to survive. Charles Darwin said in On the Origin of the Species: It is not the strongest or the most intelligent of the species that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. That’s what we’ll be talking about in today’s Body Mind Empowerment podcast. I’m your host Siim Land and the topics I’m going to cover right now include physical as well as psychological adaptation in the form of hormesis.  The biological phenomenon to this is called ’HORMESIS’, which comes from the Greek word hórmēsis and it means ‘rapid motion, eagerness’ or ‘to set in motion.' I'm going to talk about How does hormesis work Examples of hormesis Foods that trigger hormesis Hormesis and anti-aging How much stress is too much Hormesis and Antifragility   Make sure you subscribe and share it with someone who could use this information!
