That ages you prematurely, lowers your metabolism, makes you look worse, makes you age faster, bad for your brain.
So feast days where, like I said, at least one, at least some people that have thyroid conditions or hormonal conditions, and many women in perimenopause or menopause need three feast days a week where you eat three meals and maybe even eat higher carbs if you're low carb, higher healthy carbs on those feast days.
So a feast could be high protein.
maybe one gram of protein per lean pound of body weight, high carbs, or more meals, which would equal more calories.
Three feast days a week for some people, at least one for most people.
Okay.
So, and then you can add in one or two fast days a week where you just eat one meal.
and you're going to go through autophagy and get rid of those bad senescent cells that age you prematurely.
Feast-famine cycling is another way to add some fasting, and the feast is as important as the fast, which will slow down the aging process.
Okay, that's the diet.
Now let's talk about some really, I think, important supplements that you take.
Listen, controlling glucose and insulin is critical.
That kind of goes back to the diet as well.
But there are some natural things to do that from a supplement standpoint.
One thing is I think it's really important to keep vitamin D levels normal.
It's a pro-hormone, and it does help balance blood sugar.
But keeping your vitamin D levels up, I'm a fan of getting natural sun because that transforms into something called cholesterol sulfate, which actually transforms into healthy hormones, which transforms into healthy metabolism.
So all of those things will age you slow or age you slower.
Now, again, I believe in getting some sun on your skin without sunscreen.
because sunscreen allows you to stay in the sun too long, which will age your skin prematurely and increase your UVA exposure, which does and drives the skin cancer.
