And doing that for, say, even three months,

did a few things.

And end of one, so your mileage may vary, but there's a lot of good science around intermittent fasting.

Mark Mattson is one scientist who comes to mind.

And there are certain issues that I've always had with my blood work.

Certain issues I've had with, for instance, fasting glucose, insulin, and you can measure these things.

If you're just doing blood tests, I would also, I'm not a doctor, don't play one on the internet, but consider asking your doctor about something called an oral glucose tolerance test.

And no matter what I did, I could be vegan, I could be carnivore, I could be something in between.

There were certain numbers that always looked bad.

They would just not change.

Seemed to come from buggy code DNA, genetics.

And a few months of intermittent fasting gave me the most immaculate corrections to those markers that I and my doctors have ever seen.

I've been tracking those for a very long time.

Furthermore, and here's why it ties into more than just the physical, because the mind and the body, or at least let's just call it the brain and the body, are really one interconnected superorganism, right?

The mood swings, the dip in energy in the afternoon that often leads people to drink coffee, which then affects their sleep architecture, which then can create lack of sleep, depression, et cetera.

I mean, all these things cascade.

all of those ups and downs just vanish completely.

And I think there's some good reasons for it.

And part of the reason people feel sharper on GLP-1 agonists, like the ozempics and moon jars of the world, is they're more ketotic.

They're producing more ketones.
