If you have all the other five and they're dialed in completely, but you don't have your spiritual health, whatever you believe, then that's going to profoundly impact your body and your mind as well.

Yeah, diet should be an individualized approach.

So if you have a car, each car is made different and requires a different sort of fuel, whether it's a race car, whether it's a diesel truck,

They have different fuels for different performance outcomes.

So if you're trying to tow something or you're trying to go fast.

It also depends on your genetics.

So you can have a genetic polymorphism and you metabolize carbs and sugar better, even when they're unopposed by fiber.

Basically, you can use your biofeedback, how you're feeling, to guess what you tolerate well, or you can just get genetic testing, which can be fairly expensive, but most of all, it requires a physician or someone who knows how to interpret the test accurately.

Every three to six months for preventative purposes.

You should also get a blood test when you're fasting and when you're not fasting.

Yeah, that's more or less the contour.

The more you're doing your zone two cardiovascular exercise,

the slightly less important a long duration of caloric restriction is.

The reason for exercise and the reason for caloric restriction in general

including intermittent fasting, is health reasons.

That's how you increase your health span.

It's not necessarily going to make the weight on the scale change, but that doesn't matter as much.

So the easy way to think about it is if you're obese or you have metabolic syndrome, caloric restriction will improve your testosterone.

There has been a study, and they talk about all these studies in a systematic review from the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

They note that there is a study in young, healthy men, and they chlorically restrict them, and their testosterone does decrease.
