Takeaways

• 🌱 Autophagy is a cellular process where cells repair and clean themselves. It's crucial for maintaining health and can be stimulated through fasting and other means.
• 🕗 Fasting is one of the best ways to naturally stimulate autophagy without spending money or time, and it helps in cellular repair and detoxification.
• 🚫 To maintain autophagy, it's important to limit protein intake as consuming more than 20g of protein can halt the process.
• 💊 The concept of mTOR is the opposite of autophagy, promoting growth and muscle building, and it's beneficial to cycle between the two states.
• ☕ Drinking coffee can boost autophagy. Both natural and decaffeinated coffee can trigger this cellular response, aiding in metabolic health and reducing disease risk.
• ⏰ The timing of coffee consumption matters; it's best to drink it a couple of hours after waking up to avoid spiking cortisol levels and storing fat in the belly.
• ☕️ The type of coffee and what is added to it is important for autophagy. Organic, mold-free coffee with additions like MCT oil can be beneficial, but sugar should be avoided.
• 🍋 Lemon water is beneficial for hydration, collagen production, and skin repair. It also supports the gut's good bacteria and detoxification pathways.
• 🍵 Adding lemon to water can improve the taste and encourage better hydration, which is vital for overall health, especially during fasting periods.
• 🌿 Lemon water is high in polyphenols, which are essential for repairing the gut and supporting good bacteria, especially during a fast.

Q & A

What is autophagy and why is it important for our health?

Autophagy is a cellular process where cells 'eat themselves' to repair and clean up the mess inside them. It's important for our health because it helps in cellular repair, detoxification, and preventing inflammation and diseases.

How does fasting stimulate autophagy?

Fasting stimulates autophagy as it provides the necessary time and nutrient restriction for cells to initiate their self-cleaning process. It's a natural and cost-free way to tap into the body's cellular repair system.

What is the relationship between autophagy and mTOR?

Autophagy and mTOR are opposite processes. Autophagy is about cellular repair and cleanup, while mTOR is about growth and muscle building. Cycling between these two states helps in both cleaning up and growing new cells and tissues.

Can coffee stimulate autophagy and what are the benefits?

Yes, coffee can stimulate autophagy. It helps in cellular healing, detoxification, and is associated with the inhibition of several metabolic diseases and a reduction in overall mortality.

What are the guidelines for drinking coffee to maximize its autophagy benefits?

The guidelines include ensuring the coffee is organic and mold-free, being mindful of what you add to your coffee (like MCT oil or a small amount of organic cream), and timing your coffee consumption to avoid spiking cortisol levels early in the morning.

Why is lemon water beneficial during a fasting window?

Lemon water is beneficial during a fasting window because it helps in hydrating the body, repairing the skin by increasing collagen production, improving glutathione levels, and boosting antioxidant production.

How does apple cider vinegar affect the gut microbiome?

Apple cider vinegar acts as a prebiotic, feeding and supporting the growth of good bacteria in the gut. It also helps in killing pathogens and regulating blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight loss and overall metabolic health.

What are some practical ways to use apple cider vinegar for better gut health and weight loss?

You can consume apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach during a fasting window to support a healthy microbiome, take it before a meal to prevent high blood sugar spikes, or use it after a meal to help regulate blood sugar levels after overeating.

How can apple cider vinegar help with sugar cravings and bloating?

Apple cider vinegar can help reduce sugar cravings by killing off pathogens like Candida, a fungus that can cause sugar cravings. It can also help with bloating by eliminating harmful bacteria like E. coli from the gut.

What are some tips for making apple cider vinegar more palatable?

To make apple cider vinegar more palatable, you can dilute it in water, drink it quickly, or mix it into salad dressings where the vinegar flavor is already expected.

How does the combination of fasting, coffee, and exercise stimulate autophagy?

Fasting provides the necessary conditions for autophagy to occur, coffee further stimulates the process, and exercise can help in amplifying the self-healing mechanisms of the cells, making the autophagy process more effective.

Keywords

💡Autophagy

Autophagy is a cellular process where cells recycle their own components, such as damaged organelles and proteins, to maintain function and survival. In the video, it is described as a self-healing mechanism that can be stimulated through fasting and is crucial for cellular repair and detoxification. The script emphasizes the benefits of autophagy for overall health and metabolic fitness.

💡Fasting

Fasting is the abstention from food for a certain period, which can have various health benefits, including the stimulation of autophagy. The video mentions fasting as one of the best ways to activate autophagy, allowing the body to tap into its cellular repair system without spending money or time.

💡Protein

Protein is a macronutrient essential for building and repairing tissues in the body. However, the video explains that consuming more than 20 grams of protein can inhibit autophagy, suggesting a need for balance and timing when incorporating protein into one's diet to cycle between autophagy and muscle growth.

💡mTOR

mTOR, or mechanistic target of rapamycin, is a protein kinase that regulates cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The script discusses mTOR in the context of muscle building and its stimulation by protein intake, contrasting it with autophagy, which requires nutrient restriction.

💡Coffee

Coffee is highlighted in the video as a beverage that can stimulate autophagy and promote cellular healing. It is suggested as a suitable drink during fasting windows, with the caveat that it should be organic and consumed without sugar to avoid spiking blood glucose levels and inhibiting autophagy.

💡Lemon Water

Lemon water is presented as a beneficial drink for hydration, skin repair, and gut health. The video explains that the citric acid in lemons can increase collagen production and glutathione levels, which are important for detoxification and antioxidant production in the body.

💡Polyphenols

Polyphenols are micronutrients found in plants, including citrus fruits like lemons, that have antioxidant properties and can support a healthy gut microbiome. The script emphasizes the importance of polyphenols in repairing the gut and strengthening good bacteria during fasting.

💡Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is discussed as a natural remedy that can change the gut microbiome, regulate blood sugar, and support weight loss. The video suggests taking apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach during fasting to accelerate the benefits of autophagy and improve gut health.

💡Glucose

Glucose is the primary source of energy for cells and is mentioned in the context of blood sugar regulation. The video explains that processes like glycation and high glucose levels can lead to inflammation and cellular damage, which can be mitigated by practices that stimulate autophagy and regulate glucose metabolism.

Transcripts

okay on this video we're going to talk

about autophagy I've done a lot of

videos on autophagy and if you don't

know what autophagy is don't click off

because I want to teach you this really

cool concept that happens inside your

cells that actually helps you heal

yourself and what I'm going to show you

on this video is that in the morning

specifically there is something you can

drink that you're going to love that's

going to help boost autophagy so here we

go let's Dive Right In

first I got to teach you what autophagy

is because some of you are like give me

the goods give me the goods yeah this

autophagy thing sounds amazing just tell

me what to do and I'm not spoon feeding

you here I am teaching you how to think

so let's look at autophagy autophagy it

the word breaks down into autofy it

basically means that the your cells have

the capability of eating themselves now

that sounds kind of confusing but what

I'm talking about is that your cells

know how to repair and clean up the mess

inside them inside the cell all by their

little Lonesome but most of the benefits

of autophagy you can just do yourself

like fasting fasting is one of the best

ways to stimulate autophagy and when you

stimulate autophagy through fasting

you're not spending any money you're not

spending any time you're just tapping

into the cellular repair system so when

we look at over a course of our life and

we look at the accumulation of stressors

physical stressors emotional chemical

stressors we got trillions of these

cells that are all inside our body and

they're getting more and more and more

inflamed and they're getting gummed up

through glucose sticking to them it's a

process called glycation where the

glucose sticks to the to the out outer

part of the cell and as we age these

cells are just getting tired and worn

down so stimulating autophagy is really

flipping helpful so I already told you

fasting is a beautiful way to stimulate

autophagy in fact it's the best way to

stimulate autoph second best way is you

got to keep protein down so when you eat

20 g of protein or more you kick

yourself out of autophagy so autophagy

has to have some restriction to it with

food both protein and time restriction

on the other side of autophagy lives

this concept called mtor and mtor is

where you build muscle and you stimulate

mtor by eating more specifically protein

throughout a day you should be like

cycling between these two things you

should hit the autophagy button and then

maybe once you bring food back into the

equation you're going to hit the button

and if we learned the principles of both

of these things what we're doing is

we're cleaning up and we're and we're

and we're growing new things we're

growing hormones we're growing uh muscle

and then we're cleaning up the excess

and then we're growing the good but what

happened is because you never learned

about aagy then all you were doing is

growth growth growth growth growth which

would meant growth growth growth growth

growth which also meant that these cells

became more and more inflamed and became

sicker and sicker so autophagy is key

now once you know that here we go here's

the one thing I didn't mean to string

you along this video to get to this

point but I really wanted you to

understand how important a tagy is and

here's what you can drink coffee I know

I know it's it's exciting right most

common thing that I get asked is can I

have coffee in My fasting window okay

I'm all in but tell me about my coffee

and I laughed because that's what so

many people think they're like oh my God

all the benefits they read fast like a

girl they're like all the benefits are

amazing and so why would I not do it

until I say until they think wait I

might have to take my coffee out you

don't have to take your coffee out so

here's what coffee does is coffee

stimulates a tagy coffee stimulates

cellular healing coffee can help you

detox the cell I'm going to read you

something from a study called that was

printed in cell cycle and I I I I

actually need to read the overview of

what of the conclusion that they found

because I love what they said here's

what they said is that clinical trials

revealed that chronic consumption of

coffee is associated with the inhibition

of several metabolic diseases what does

that mean that means those of us that

have high blood pressure high

cholesterol our hemoglobin A1c is off

our liver enzymes are off we're

metabolically unfit if we drink coffee

on a regular basis that what this study

is showing is that it can help us stop

metabolic diseases that's cool okay but

it goes on it says as well as a

reduction in overall and cause specific

mortality so that basically means it can

keep you alive coffee and we show that

both natural and decaffeinated brands of

coffee similarly rapidly trigger

autophagy that's why they Keep Us Alive

this is how it's helping with the

metabolic health of the world so

Hallelujah for coffee and this is it

went on to say that 1 to four hours

after coffee coffee autophagy was

stimulated in your liver heart and

muscles if we are doing coffee

specifically in the morning I mean you

could do coffee in the afternoon if you

want that you actually are

stimulating the the autophagy that's

happening within the cells of muscles

making them um cleaner so that when you

go and you add in your protein you go

and you add in your weightlifting you're

going to get that nice strong muscle

that's going to actually be visible to

see okay now before you all rush off to

your commercial coffee place we need to

have some coffee rules okay so here we

go first rule the type of coffee you

drink matters coffee can be a cup of

chemicals so make sure it's organic and

mold-free if you're running down to your

local coffee shop that's on every corner

franchised all over the world that's a

cup full of chemicals that is not what

I'm talking about I'm talking about

clean coffee that doesn't have chemicals

in it okay second thing what you put in

your coffee matters so I know a lot of

you are going to ask me um okay well

what about my cream okay what about oil

what do I what about my coffee mate like

what goes in my coffee well when we're

looking at Coffee through the lens of

autophagy we know if we put MCT oil in

it MCT oil actually can help us switch

over into the fat burning State a little

bit quicker can upregulate ketones so it

shuts off the hunger hormone so I love

MCT oil put MCT oil in your coffee and

um it can help and and studies are

conflicting on this so I'm not quoting a

study about MCT oil in autophagy I see

when I look at the studies on both on

MCT oil I see both I see some that say

it does stimulate AAG genene I had see

some that does but what we do know about

mctl in your coffee is that it can move

you into ketosis this fat burning Place

more which is ultimately going to help

you with metabolic Health if we can burn

fat for energy and make keto cream okay

organic full fat cream typically Works

to keep metab help us metabolically

switch and get over into this Fat Brain

place it's a great tool for that but

when the rules one of the rules of

autophagy is you don't go over 20 grams

in a meal so you got to make sure you're

putting all just a teeny bit of cream in

there and you're not tipping the protein

scale cuz there's protein in cream so

make sure your cream does not have 20

grams of protein just a little bit I can

tell you the mornings that I fast and I

want to drink coffee um I don't put

cream in it I'm learning to not put

cream in it so that I can get more of

that autophagy effect uh if you're

wondering about sugar in your coffee no

no just no it doesn't work it's not I I

love I know it tastes really good but it

it's G to it's going to keep you over in

Sugar burner it's never going to put you

in fat burner in the fasting window and

it's going to accelerate glucose spikes

so it's it's going to glucose get stored

as fat and it's going to pull you out of

both ketosis and and autophagy that's

not good so no sugar little tiny bit of

cream if you have to organic would be

best raw is even better black is best so

make sure you're doing clean coffee and

make sure that you are also doing uh

what you put in it really matters and

the third coffee rule you're going to

hear this on a lot of different videos

is that I want to make sure that you're

minding the timing of coffee so best

time to drink coffee is a couple hours

after you get up if you drink it right

when you get up you get this cortisol

spike a couple hours later you get

another cortisol Spike and now you've

got two cor cortisol spikes and so where

does Cortisol get stored in your belly

fat so let's try to have a cup of water

have a cup of tea something like that

early in the morning and then wait an

hour to 2 hours and then have your cup

of coffee and ride your natural cortisol

wave so those are my those are my coffee

principles but seriously I mean this is

great news right like not only can we

fast to hit autophagy but we can have

black clean coffee with a little bit of

MC toil and maybe a splash of some cream

in the morning to accelerate autophagy

and then I'm going to give you a little

bonus here on on this is then if you hit

train in the morning that also

stimulates autophagy so now we've

stacked three things together to really

amplify the self-healing of the of these

cells this selfhealing mechanism that

your cells have already been programmed

with you've your cells came with it

they've just been waiting for you to

figure it out okay first reason first

reason you need to be drinking lemon

water every single day I know it's like

so obvious but I want to explain why

it's so important that we apply this

first tool or this first reason to our

life and that's because water hydrates

us

now I can tell you from Clinical

experience that what I've heard so many

people tell me that they know they're

supposed to drink water every day they

get that it hydrates them but they just

don't like the taste of water and I have

always found that very unusual because I

think of water as just neutral it's just

water I just drink it because I know I'm

going to stay hydrated you need to stay

hydrated by the way for your SK skin you

need to stay hydrated for your gut your

cells are demanding that you hydrate

them and bring them water on a daily

basis so if you are finding it very

difficult to drink water what I have

noticed is when you put lemon in your

water it perks the brain up and it

becomes almost like a dopamine hit the

brain goes oh well this isn't just water

this is lemon and it has a different

response in your brain that creates a

dopamine

pulse or a dopamine sech now many of you

have heard me say this before that when

we're looking at our health habits we

don't always need motivation we need

momentum and I've seen this in people's

fasting Windows where they are like oh

they're just dreading every hour that

goes by just waiting to get to that 17th

hour or that 24 hour or one of the six

fasts that I laid out for you all in

fast like a girl and they they're just

dragging themselves through that well a

little hack is when we put lemon in

there all of a sudden you take a sip and

the and you get a dopamine hit and all

of a sudden that's your brain is excited

and that creates momentum and if you do

it again an hour later you're like I

I've even had some of my patients put

lemon water in a wine glass so that

you're like oh I feel fancy like I'm

drinking lemon water and it feels like a

treat even though I'm in a fasted window

so I love it for tricking the brain into

being excited to drink water and keeping

that momentum during a fast okay number

two water lemon water specifically

repairs the skin okay now there was a

2016 study that was published in science

direct and it talked about when we add

lemon to our water it does several

things that are important for the skin

so the first is it increases collagen

production like think about that where

are my menopausal women out there how

much are we fighting for extra collagen

where you know that wrinkles that's

that's showing up that's because you're

losing collagen as you lose estrogen and

so in order to increase collagen we got

to pull in as many hacks as possible and

this study in science direct showed that

it improved Co skin collagen production

when you drink a daily glass of lemon

water and I'll leave that study in the

notes so you all have it second thing

that this study showed is it improved

glutathione now remember when you are

drinking lemon water what's happening is

it's going into the cell and it's

powering up your

mitochondria your mitochondria make

glutathione and glutathione is the

master antioxidant that pushes toxins

out of the cell so think about one

little habit of just drinking water and

adding lemon to it is powering these

mitoch Andria up so that you can detox

your cells more efficiently and then the

third thing that the study said was that

they're finding that it improves

antioxidant production again what we're

looking at the adding of the lemon to

the water as being this cellular uh wind

so that everything in the S cell works

better including improving your

antioxidant production now I want to

talk about how you would apply that when

you've maybe overdone it like let's say

you know you had a you went on vacation

you ate a bunch of toxic food well okay

you come home could we start to add in

more lemon water so that we can improve

the detoxification Pathways of your

cells and upregulate

antioxidants okay the other thing is

what about you know if we get a sunburn

or we've been out in the sun too much

have we ever thought the next day to

drink more lemon water knowing that it's

going to up regulate collagen production

we can use that outside of just the

menopausal situation so it's so

fascinating to me how we have allowed

our health care choices to be more

complicated we think the more

complicated they are the better they are

for our body but we never we forget that

some of the most simple things have the

greatest benefit for us and adding lemon

to our water is one of those things so

super cool hack there

okay third tip the third reason why you

want to do this is because lemon citrus

fruit uh fruits in general are high

polyphenol foods and as I have taught

you in fast like a girl the polyphenol

foods are massively important for

repairing the gut so let's take this to

your fasting window let's say you're in

a fast and your the your brilliant

intelligence is getting rid of all the

bad bacteria it's wants to get it out of

your system the good bacteria that want

to make you serotonin want to improve

your immune your overall immune system

want to improve your your melatonin

production so you can sleep better all

the Wonders that are going on in your

gut as the bat is going away the good

little guys are like looking around and

they're like okay the bully's gone but I

need to become stronger how can I become

stronger because I have a brief M moment

where the bully bacteria are out of my

gut and so one of the ways that you can

strengthen your good bacteria to make

you all the wonderful neurochemicals to

keep you health and happy is to give

your bacteria these good bacteria more

polyphenol foods and citrus foods are

one of those polyphenols but the

challenge we have in our fasting window

is how do we do that how how can we do

that when without spiking our blood

sugar we don't really have a lot of

tools for the fasting window to be able

to grow those good except lemon water so

if we are adding lemon to our water in

our fasting window we are powering up

those good bacteria while we are also

destroying the bully bacteria and

getting them out of your system it's

such a simple hack and there's a really

cool article that I will put uh in the

notes as well another study that showed

not only does the polyphenol count of

lemon water help us but if we have have

lemon water early first thing in the

morning it's the first thing that goes

on your stomach that is the most

absorbable time for your microbiome and

your gut so you really are giving these

good bacteria added nutrients so that

they can become strong and support you

throughout your whole day okay check

this out I have a free fasting guide for

you all it's free and it's going to

teach you all the basics of fasting it's

going to teach you how to kill hunger

when you fast which is really cool and

it's going to show you how to break your

fast among many other things things all

you got to do is click on this link

right here and enjoy the thing that

transforms your life is really

understanding how this body works and

when you understand how the body works

it becomes really easy to figure out how

to use something like apple cider

vinegar so here are the major concepts

of apple cider vinegar that I want you

to think about one apple cider vinegar

changes your microbiome of your gut now

this is really important because we have

good bacteria in our gut and we have bad

bacteria in our gut so the good bacteria

are going to help us not only regulate

blood sugar so when you eat a meal this

good bacteria is going to help to bring

your blood sugar down and make it so

that you can switch over into the fat

burning State much quicker metabolically

switch like I've taught you here so we

want to feed these good bacteria and

apple cider vinegar will do that it is a

Prebiotic for these good bacteria but

the other thing it does that's really

cool is that it'll kill pathogens so

like a lot of you have sugar cravings

and this can be from a fungus called

Candida and with candida what we'll see

is that you're trying so hard to bring

the blood sugar levels down by not

eating carbs not doing eating a lot of

sugar but you can't because there's this

fungus in your gut that's making you

crave those carbs so when you're eating

apple cider vinegar you're helping to

kill that pathogen we also know that

apple cider vinegar can kill things like

ecoli bacteria in the gut that might be

causing you things like bloating or

might be causing you to have craved

other foods that you are trying to stay

away from so these bacteria have a life

of their own and the bad ones make you

crave the bad food so let's make sure we

kill those and support the good bacteria

that's what apple cider vinegar can do

with that in mind then where we would

put the timing of apple cider vinegar

would actually be in and on an empty

stomach so think about that for a moment

just a a tablespoon of apple cider

vinegar in your fasting window when

you're already changing your microbiome

through fasting can really accelerate

your your uh microbiome state so those

of you that have sibo those of you that

are constipated you have diarrhea those

of you that aren't getting the weight

loss benefit you want over here try

something as simple as a scoop of of

tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and

water in your fasting window and see if

that starts to make a difference in the

microbial makeup of your gut so that you

do start to get more benefit from the

fasted State second major concept that

apple cider vinegar can do is it can

start to regulate your blood sugar so

this is a bunch of research is showing

if you do apple cider vinegar before a

meal whatever you eat after that is

going to help to bring that blood sugar

down much quicker so if you know you're

going into a carbohydrate Rich meal have

a scoop of apple cider vinegar in a

glass of water before the me meal so you

don't get a high blood sugar Spike this

those of you who that are following the

principles of fast like a girl where I'm

teaching you how to bring up your

carbohydrate load in order to be able to

support progesterone what you might do

if you're nervous about bringing your

blood sugar your your carbohydrate level

up too high what you might do is some

apple cider V vinegar before a hormone

feasting day so that you can switch over

quicker and you can start to get more

fat burning even though you're at that

part of your cycle where your hormones

are high so when we bring carbohydrates

up we might also bring apple cider V

vinegar up so we can regulate that blood

sugar better second place we can look at

bringing apple cider vinegar into our

into the picture can be after a meal now

this has all happened to us so let's

talk to you guys that are like and I see

this question all the time those of you

who ask me God I opened up my eating

window and then I just binge eat ate

something I just ate I went in I meant

to eat something well and I just went

crazy put in the notes if you in the

comments if that's you because we've all

done that so what you would do if all of

a sudden you let's say fasted 15 hours

you're so proud of yourself and then you

open up the refrigerator and the next

thing you know you ate too many

carbohydrates you ate too much and your

your blood sugar Now is really high what

about some apple cider vinegar put some

apple cider vinegar in a cup of water

drink a cup of wa water with that apple

cider vinegar and it's going to bring

down your blood sugar another really

interesting hack I like when you know

that you've brought the GL glucose level

up too high is that go for a walk use

that glucose that and if that if you

can't go for a walk do air squats just

standing up and down and do up and down

squats so that you can mobilize the

glucose that came from the food you just

ate so we can use it as a recovery tool

from a bad from a bad meal we can use it

knowing that we're going to eat more

carbohydrates as a preventative tool

before a meal both both of them we're

looking at how we can stabilize blood

sugar and then we're using it in the

fasted state to be able to support a

healthy microbiome so it's a really cool

simple hack that we all can do now if

you're like me I don't don't really like

the taste of it so that's why you hear

me keep saying put it in water because I

want to put it in water drink it as fast

as I can cuz I don't really like the

taste of it sometimes I'll put it in my

salad dressings as well because I'm

already putting vinegar there so I hope

that helps and and I really want you to

see that fat loss sometimes can be

really about a formula it's not always

about discipline and gritting it it's

about stabilizing your blood sugar it's

about learning how to metabolically

switch it's about supporting a healthy

microbiome so it can help you not only

create all these yummy neurotransmitters

that feel make you feel good but also

can make sure that you switch over into

the fat burning State quicker there's so
