Great sleep upgrades you on virtually every level body fat muscle mass mood brain function and lots of other ways.

One of the more powerful things you can do is feed your body natural melatonin building blocks and transformers known as cofactors that what your body can naturally produce melatonin.

I've been tracking my sleep for almost 15 years and sometimes I think I'm going to run out of new ways to sleep better my friends at bi optimizers have come up with something new called sleep breakthrough.

It's got all the right ingredients like vitamin B6 magnesium and zinc that help with getting good quality sleep and it targets five different sleep pathways and I like it because it does it very quickly.

It works so fast because it's got an easy delivery mechanism all you do is mix in a cup of water and drink it right before bed when you have your sleep you regain your power you owe it to yourself to feel rested each day.

Here's another round of cool facts for you cool fact number one.

This cool fact is about how fasting changes your circadian rhythm which can make you healthier your circadian rhythm is an intrinsic time keeping clock that preserves something called homeostasis

in other words health in your body in response to changing environment around you if you're resilient then your time keeping clock makes you more resilient or if your clock is broken your less resilient.

It basically tells you when to go to bed when to eat when to wake and so on it's well understood that the food you eat can influence the function of your internal clock but until now we didn't really understand how a lack of food could influence your clock.

Researchers at UC Irvine conducted a study in mice that figured out what fasting does to jeans via their circadian clocks researchers figured out that a 24 hour fast resulted in a reprogramming of various cellular responses in the mice which included a reduction in oxygen consumption respiratory change ratio and energy expenditure.

What does that mean for you? Well it means that fasting the right way can be an effective strategy for positively affecting your cellular functions particularly when we're talking about hacking your circadian rhythm and your metabolism and of course there's a whole chapter about how to use fasting and light together in order to really change your circadian rhythm but the more we're learning about fasting the more we're learning that it's integrally tied to your timing systems and when all of your timing systems fire at the same time the way they're supposed to you're much less likely to do.

You're going to have a much better functioning metabolism.

Cool fact number two this cool fact is about how fasting may help to treat breast cancer.

You might have noticed there's a lot of cool facts about fasting that's because I just spent thousands of hours researching fasting and writing fast this way and the book is just coming out with rave reviews so I'm going to share some of what I learned writing the book about 80% of all breast cancer is expressed either estrogen or progesterone receptors.

And the most common therapy for those types of breast cancers is endocrine therapy which blocks the hormones from attaching to the receptors on the cancer cells.

Problem is long term benefits don't happen because of treatment resistance. Researchers at USC and the IFOM Cancer Institute in Milan study the effect of fasting mimicking diets on breast cancer treatment because they wanted to figure out they could increase the efficacy of drugs they're using to block those hormones and cancer.

And they just found that when they combine fasting mimicking diets with hormone therapy fasting not only shrinks tumors and mice but reverses resistant tumors.

And although most of the research is only in mice two small clinical trials produce the same results in humans from a biochemical perspective the fasting mimicking diet reduces blood insulin insulin like growth factor one or IGF one and leptin which in turn appears to increase the power of cancer.

Or hormone drugs and delays resistance to them. What was that mean for you researchers say that fasting mimicking diets could be the nontoxic wild card for cancer treatments and they believe that the promising results could lead to more effective cancer treatment with less harmful side effects.

What does it actually mean for you if you are dealing with cancer you probably ought to be fasting intermittent fasting or doing a fasting mimicking diet that's low in protein like the protein fast that I described in my new book fast this way at this point it's safe to say that fasting or intermittent fasting when you have cancer is almost certainly better than eating whatever you're going to eat and 100% certainly better than eating a high sugar high seed oil omega six.

Those are just bad for you. You have cancer and fasting means you're not doing that so fasting is always better than junk food no matter what.
