| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about the influence of intermittent fasting over the cardiovascular system. |
| 0:27.2 | There's so many benefits for intermittent fasting, but the benefit to the heart is a major, |
| 0:32.1 | major benefit. |
| 0:33.1 | So, it all starts with lowering insulin, okay? |
| 0:37.5 | So, when you fast, you decrease insulin. |
| 0:40.9 | And insulin controls what type of fuel that the body is going to run on? |
| 0:45.7 | What type of fuel that the heart will run on? |

| 1:36.6 | fasting and providing ketones with a low carb diet. |
