In this high-impact episode, we dive deep into the science and strategy behind autophagy, the body's built-in cellular clean-up system that promotes fat burning, energy, and longevity. You’ll learn the best fasting protocols to turn on autophagy, how to measure it using blood glucose and ketones, what breaks a fast, and bonus biohacks to enhance autophagy without extended fasting.
