Today I want to cover the 12 different ways to trigger autophagy.
What is autophagy?
The word autophagy means “self eat” because your cells are basically eating up and recycling damaged proteins or pieces of the cell that are no longer working.
Benefits of autophagy:
1. Anti-aging
2. Dropping inflammation
3. Improving the immune system
4. Decreasing the risk of cancer
12 autophagy triggers:
1. Regular exercise
2. Intermittent fasting
3. Ketones
4. Sleep
5. HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy)
6. Cold/hot therapy
7. Coffee (polyphenols)
8. Wine ( I don’t recommend)
9. Cruciferous vegetables
10. Green tea
11. Extra virgin olive oil
12. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Let's talk about the 12 different ways. You can trigger the condition called |
| 0:47.8 | autophagy. So the word autophagy means self-eat, because your cells are basically eating up and recycling, damaged proteins, |
| 0:59.1 | and malfunctioning organelles or pieces of the cell that are no longer working. Now, a lot of |
| 1:07.2 | benefits can occur from autophagy. One is anti-aging. Number two is dropping inflammation. |
| 1:14.1 | Number three is improving your immune system because part of the recycling process involves |
| 1:20.3 | cleaning up pathogens, microbes, candida, parasites, and even viruses. But I believe that the biggest benefit of autophagy is decreasing |
| 1:31.1 | the risk of cancer. Because if you think about it, cancer can't actually exist unless there's |
| 1:37.1 | first damage to the mitochondria. So if you're going through autophagy and you're cleaning up |
| 1:43.8 | all the damage in your mitochondria, |
| 1:46.1 | you basically bring your risk for cancer way down. So there are several things that can trigger |
| 1:52.4 | autophagy that go beyond just fasting. Number one, regular exercise. And the key word is regular. |
| 2:04.5 | Not like a one-time thing. do periodic exercise it's regular consistent exercise not only will it trigger autophagy but it'll increase the capacity |
| 2:13.0 | of atopathy so you're just going to clean up more damage in the body. So the research on exercise |
| 2:18.7 | includes both resistant training and aerobic type exercise. Aerobic exercise really improves |
| 2:26.8 | autophagy of the brain. And I'm going to put all the references down below so you can check them out. |
| 2:31.9 | Number two, intermittent fasting. This is the one that most people |
| 2:34.7 | know about, and you'd have to fast for at least 18 hours to really see the benefits of autophagy. |
| 2:41.2 | And if you go up to 48 hours, you're going to see more and more benefits. You're basically |
| 2:45.2 | recycling all the little damage proteins or cellular machinery in the side of the cells that basically are not helping |
