0:00.0	The best way to make the most energy derived from fasting is to do water-only fasting in an environment
0:05.1	of rest. It does appear that fasting has a preferential predilection to mobilize and eliminate
0:10.5	the future. Even that 12 to 16 hours of fasting cumulatively is thought to induce changes
0:15.5	that are thought to be beneficial. My clinical experience, though, is the less animal food we have
0:20.0	in the diet, the better
0:20.9	the clinical outcomes are in the conditions that we're treating, maximizing both healthy life expectancy
0:26.4	and life expectancy, a whole plant food SOS free diet, I believe has the best support.
0:31.4	Welcome to the Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the secrets of health,
0:40.2	mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your existence and biohack
0:47.1	your life? This show is for you. Please keep in mind. We're not dispensing medical advice
0:52.9	and are not responsible for any outcomes you may
0:55.7	experience from implementing the tactics lying herein. Are you ready? Let's do this.

1:10.3	I first was exposed to Dr. Alan Goldhammer
1:13.0	in a Netflix documentary, and then I heard him on Rich Rolls podcast, and I just thought,
1:18.4	this is so cool. I've got to get him on the show. Even though I'm the host also of the
1:23.1	intermittent fasting podcast, we really don't talk about extended fasting that much. So it was really,
1:28.4	really exciting to dive deep into it with the founder of the most well-known extended fasting
1:34.4	clinics in the country. So this was very, very exciting. I also love that Dr. Goldhammer
1:40.6	comes from a very vegan-centric approach. And I think it's nice to bring on different
1:45.2	viewpoints because a lot of the guests on the show are more in the paleo, keto, even carnivore
1:50.8	sphere. So it's really nice to engage with more plant-based people and get all different perspectives.
