0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to Health Theory. Today's guest is Mike Mutzel. He holds a master's degree in
0:05.0	clinical nutrition and teaches leading edge science to healthcare professionals for the prevention of
0:09.8	chronic disease. He's created roughly 20 courses on health-related topics as well as hosting an
0:15.8	awesome and widely respected podcast called High Intensity Health. He's also the author of
0:21.2	Belly Fat Effect, The Real Secret about how your diet, intestinal health, and gut bacteria help
0:27.1	you burn fat. And speaking of burning fat, we were just talking before we started rolling and
0:32.4	I wanted to get back to it, which is your fasting. You said that you're fasting right now, you're
0:37.4	about 24 hours in. You said that if you have time, you're going to go grab something to eat, but
0:41.9	ah, maybe you'll just go straight through and fly to home. I find it really hard not knowing
0:47.5	where my fast ends. Is there any sort of mental component to fasting for you?

1:12.0	I didn't start doing that. It took me a while to get to the point where my ketone levels get to a
1:16.6	point where I'm not feeling hypoglycemic and the symptoms of like low blood sugar affect me.
1:22.4	But I don't really worry about is because once you're fasted, for me personally,
1:29.1	I don't start to get negative symptoms in terms of sleep issues and maybe constipation or whatever
1:33.4	until day three. So I'm cool going to 36 hours and not knowing am I going to have food or not.
1:39.5	So it's just a way to clear the cobwebs, not have to worry about meal prep on Sunday,
1:43.8	but the reason why I do it is actually have a tumor biomarker that's elevated,
1:47.8	called alpha-fetoprotein. Interesting. That's why you started doing it?
