Steve, what's your fasting protocols for competitive athletes?

Now that you've fasted so much and you know, you know,

man, it's still difficult.

It's still difficult to get these guys to fast.

They're so scared.

What would you do?

What would you do if you had a competitive athlete who you knew was, or not even a competitive

athlete, but someone who you knew was undergoing stress on his body,

particularly from food like an athlete.

Would you do something like periodic fast every three months, two months?

Because we got questions on this.

People were like, hey, can I just fast for six hours a day?

Would that work?

And that does something different.

It's different. Yeah, it's not the same.

I mean, it helps with insulin sensitivity,

but does it induce autophagy? No.

Exactly. In the minute of fasting doesn't improve autophagy. So, and it doesn't improve digestion

from my experience, you know, because a lot of people, they shorten their food window,

and then they still eat the same amount of food. So during this time that you're eating, the burden of food is actually increased.

Because now you're trying to force more food through your intestinal track in a shorter

period of time.
