Today we're going to talk about "intermittent" and what that really means. We're going to cover intermittent fasting, the biggest intermittent fasting mistake, and intermittent exercise.

A healthy body has really good circadian rhythms. These are natural waves of rhythm like:

• Sleep cycles

• Eating cycles

• Rhythms of digestion

• Rhythms of hormones

Anything we do of a sustained nature adds more stress to the body. For example, one of the most important things intermittent fasting does is correcting digestion. The body was not designed to consume on a sustained basis (snacking in between meals). Sustained eating can create sustained stimulation of insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes. It's very important to fast, and not eat anything when you're fasting. But, you can drink water and take supplements during fasting.

High-intensity interval training is intermittent exercise. This can help stimulate growth hormone. Doing this high-intensity exercise intermittently is important because it won't stimulate the opposing hormone: cortisol. It keeps the stress down while still stimulating growth hormone. The growth hormone is stimulated by the high intensity. But, cortisol is stimulated by duration, which you're keeping short.

Recovery is also very important. During the downtime, when you're relaxing, you need to stay off your phone and try to keep your mind from overthinking.

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So today we're going to talk about this word intermittent. We're talking about
0:48.6	intermittent fasting and the big mistake that people make, as well as intermittent exercise, okay, and how that relates
0:56.8	to your overall health. Now a healthy body has really good circadian rhythms.
1:03.0	Those are natural waves of rhythm.
1:07.0	And I'm talking about sleep cycles, eating cycles,
1:10.0	rhythms of digestion, rhythms of hormones, which follow certain type of wave patterns,
1:17.0	growth hormone, cortisol, anything that we do of a sustained nature adds more stress to the body.
1:27.2	Let me explain. Let's take eating for example.
1:30.5	One of the most important things that intermittent fasting will do is it corrects your
1:38.0	digestion because our body was not designed to be consuming on a sustained basis.
1:46.7	Our body is not designed to snack in between every single meal.
1:51.2	Why? Because you stimulate insulin over and over and we know what happens with that.
1:56.9	We get this insulin resistance situation and then we get a pre-diabetes and then we get diabetes. What is diabetes? It's an uncontrolled blood sugar so your
2:08.8	blood sugar is too high because your insulin is all messed up and why did that happen?
2:15.0	Because you created a sustained stimulation of your insulin.
2:20.0	So one of the most important things to do is don't eat anything when you are fasting and also allow
2:28.8	your body to fast a certain part of the day. What I see is happening with a lot of people is they're doing
2:35.8	a little bit of snack between their meals here and there, and that actually kind of ruins
2:41.6	the great benefit of fasting.
