Hey guys, I want to tell you what happened when I increased my fasting to 21 hours.

0:29.4

It's quite interesting. I did an experiment on myself. Now normally I eat around 12 or maybe

0:35.9

1 and 6 and 7. So I get about 18 hours of fasting with a 6 hour eating window. And normally

0:43.7

I do videos like the one I'm doing now between 12 o'clock and 2 or 3. So the experiment that

0:49.8

I did on myself is simply eat when I got back from filming. So my first meal was at 3 and

0:57.1

the second meal was at 6. So that's just a 3 hour eating window. That gives me 21 hours of fasting

1:05.2

compared to 18. It doesn't seem like much, but it made a significant difference in my cognitive

1:13.3

function. I noticed when I was on this pattern, there was definitely more editing or mistakes. So in

1:20.6

this pattern right here, fasting for 21 hours, rarely did I make any mistakes. It was quite remarkable.

1:26.8

So there are improvements in memory for sure. More focused. Better learning. I can in the mornings,

1:33.4

I'm always studying something. I can digest and assimilate things much better. I can locate things.

1:38.9

I remember why I put things. More creative. Way better mood. Let's grouchiness and less

1:45.1

irritableness. Not that I'm ever grouchy or irritable. Okay, 7. Increased productivity. I mentioned

1:51.0

that already. I'm just getting a lot more done. More organized because of the focus and more

1:58.0

decisive. So I really don't need any study to convince me. All I needed to do was do my own experiment

2:04.3

and see for myself. But if you actually look at the research, this is what happens. You actually

2:10.1

increase something called BDNF. It stands for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This is a protein

2:16.8

that actually helps you grow your neurons and synapses. It's like miracle grow for your brain.

2:24.0

It just helps regrow brain cells. It also slows aging. Also, when you're doing fasting,

2:30.8

you're increasing your ketones, which naturally support the brain. Your brain prefers ketones

2:37.3

over glucose. Also, you're increasing a topogy. Topogy cleans out all the damaged protein out of

2:46.0

the brain, like the amyloid placking. Fasting improves the little connections, the synapses
