Now, of course, there's all of these other benefits to fasting outside of just potentially losing weight. You know, there is obviously the activation of certain pathways like AMPK, which I'm sure a lot of experts have talked about on your show, which is associated with autophagy, cellular cleanup.

There's the production of BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor that seems to even grow new neurons, but certainly manage the functionality of pre-existing neural health. So there's all of these kind of like under the hood benefits, but the benefits that I was seeing was a tremendous amount. of weight loss in combination with a couple of other stress protocols.

The thing about everything I just named, chronic fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, they are so common now. that we essentially have accepted them as normal, but they're so, so, so abnormal. And so I was walking around in this incredibly compromised state. Now, subsequently, I started to do some testing and I realized that I was pre-diabetic, borderline diabetic.
