0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about prolonged fasting and IGF number one.
0:27.0	Now, what is IGF number one?
0:29.3	I've done other videos on this, and it stands for insulin-like growth factor, number one.
0:35.0	It's a hormone that is made in the liver.
0:39.6	It's stimulated by growth hormone hormone and it acts like growth hormone in the body so it's kind of an extension of growth hormone
