This is a YouTube video titled "Fasting Strengthens Mitochondria" containing a monologue or talk recorded on January 23, 2021, discussing the benefits of fasting on mitochondrial health, enzyme production, and aging. The speaker explains how fasting can stimulate mitochondrial strength and improve the body's healing capacity by reallocating enzyme production.
When you fast, your body will build new, stronger mitochondria. It's really important for aging. As we age, we lose the ability to combine air and food effectively. And a lot of people have heard about intermittent training or high intensity interval training, you know, where you just exercise really hard for a brief period of time. And then the body's like, oh man, I might have to do that again. I guess I should get strong. So fasting is kind of the same thing, but for the mitochondria in the cells, they go, oh, I might have to skip some meals again. I guess I should get strong. And everyone over age 40 has mitochondrial deficiency unless they're actively managing it. And 48% of people under age 40 have early onset mitochondrial deficiency, according to research by Frank Shallenberger, who's been on my show. Has he been on yours? He's one of the guys. No, but he's ozone guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he measures mitochondrial efficiency with a very serious set of oxygen masks and all kinds of stuff. So it's real data. So, okay, number one, Let's fix our mitochondria with fasting. Number two, your pancreas, and to a certain extent your liver, makes enzymes and their job is to break down proteins and other food items that you eat. It's also enzymes job to go into the body and fix stuff. So you can only make so many enzymes per day as the maximum enzyme production capacity of the body. What if, because you're not eating protein, you're not eating carbs during the fast, what if the pancreas is available to make enzymes for healing the body instead of for digesting food? It will do that.
