DATA:
In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about how to boost autophagy with this one vitamin. Autophagy is a mechanism where the cells clean up old damaged parts turning it into raw material to build new tissues. It also helps clean up infections, bacteria, and viruses and it is also very important for the immune system.
Autophagy Benefits
• Supports immune system
• Infection
• Neurodegeneration
• Heart
• Aging
Vitamin D regulates autophagy. If the Vitamin D receptor is dysfunctional, that will limit the capacity for autophagy.
Vitamin D Benefits
• Immune system
• Autoimmune issues
• Clearing TB
• Increasing apoptosis
• Dropping inflammation
• Decreases oxidative stress
• Prevent the mitochondria from making too many oxidants

| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So today let's talk about boosting autophagy with this one simple |
| 0:48.8 | vitamin. What is itophagy? It's a condition in the body that protects against cancer, infection, |
| 0:57.2 | neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, aging. So in your cells you have this mechanism that can clean up old damaged |
| 1:08.5 | parts. In a cell you have all these little parts you have in mitochondria, they're called organelles. |
| 1:14.7 | They're part of the little structures that form an assembly line to make body tissue. |
| 1:19.6 | All of those individually can be recycled if they're dysfunctional. So atophagy is that state |
| 1:25.0 | where the body is breaking those down and then turning them into raw material to |
| 1:30.5 | build new tissues. Also, autophagy will help you clean up infection, bacteria, viruses. |
| 1:39.2 | So it's really, really important in the immune system. And that vitamin that will trigger autophagy is |
| 1:44.9 | vitamin D. Vitamin D regulates autophagy. So it's not just about going on a long |
| 1:51.3 | fast, it's also about making sure you have enough |
| 1:54.4 | vitamin D in your body to allow this process to work. There's something called |
| 1:59.7 | the Vitamin D receptor and if that vitamin D receptor is impaired or it's dysfunctional, that will |
| 2:06.8 | limit your capacity for autophagy because vitamin D benefits parallel the autophagy benefits. |
| 2:16.7 | It's involved in immune system, auto immune issues, clearing out TB, increasing cancer cell apoptosis, which basically killing |
| 2:28.1 | off cancer cells. |
| 2:29.2 | It's involving dropping inflammation, it decreases oxidative stress, it can even prevent the mitochondria |
| 2:36.2 | from making too many oxidants, those things that cause oxidation. |
| 2:40.9 | When you do fasting, 18 hours or more, you get this greater benefit of autophagy. |
