so why do you need to do the ketogenic diet and  fasting at the same time and what is the actual  

difference between the ketones generated  when you’re on the diet versus when you’re  

doing fasting we’re going to discuss that and  so the common thread between doing the diet  

and doing fasting is that you have a lowered  glucose okay and you also have a lowered insulin  

that’s a hormone and so when you do this you  have all sorts of amazing benefits you lose  

weight your blood sugars now are regulated you  have better mood you have improved cognitive  

function focus memory concentration you have  less inflammation and you have decreased cravings  

but there’s some very unique additional  benefits that occur with fasting okay when  

you do fasting you create an epigenetic effect  okay what does epigenetics mean it means above  

genes so if you were born with bad genes or you  had some you know gene that triggered this or that  

those genes could be controlled epi genetically  in other words fasting creates an effect  

on your genes that turn off the bad genes and turn  on the good genes okay so that’s one thing that’s  

very very important and some of this information i  got from sim land who i’ll put his link down below  

or his website you can check it out he wrote  a great book he was in my last summit and  

he’s really really knowledgeable about  intermittent fasting number two autophagy  

you don’t experience autophagy when you’re just  doing keto okay what is autophagy autophagy is  

like getting the junk out of the trunk all the  dead cells all the damaged proteins in your body  

get recycled and turn into brand new cells so  this is why you look younger when you start  

doing intermittent fasting because you induce  autophagy which does a lot more than anti-aging  

but it’s just a cleaning process you’re recycling  um garbage through the body and that way that  

garbage doesn’t sit there and create inflammation  and a lot of a lot of bad things number three  

it will turn on genes that specifically allow  dna to repair better it’s quite interesting  

when you inside the cell you have these blueprints  they’re called dna and your body actually makes a  

copy of them okay then it’s called rna and it’s  transported outside the cell into these little  

machines or factories that start building body  tissue now it’s very very bad if there’s some  

errors in this genetic code in the blueprints  because then they’re going to start reproducing  

the wrong body tissue and so when you do  fasting it improves the repair process  

in scanning the code and looking for errors  and coming in there and fixing them before  

they’re used in the factories and this is  fascinating that your body would actually do that  

also fasting will turn on genes to adapt to stress  better you become more protected against stress  

even if someone is on some type of chemotherapy  or radiation when you do fasting your cells  

become more resistant that’s interesting all right  number four you start increasing your antioxidant  

networks your body actually makes antioxidants so  you can get them from food or your body makes them  

when you do fasting your body builds up that  network so now you have more antioxidants to  

protect yourself against oxidation and pollution  etc etc number five you get decreased inflammation  

and this comes in handy especially if you have  arthritis some autoimmune disease or you have  

some pain in your body that tends to be chilled  out number six you can decrease your risk of  

cancer okay certain genes that trigger  cancer are turned off in addition to that  

there’s something else in your body that  controls growth there’s actually quite a  

few but there’s two things specifically one is  called mtor which is a thing in your body that  

can be good or bad it can actually increase  the growth of cancer if it’s too high fasting  

turns that thing right off when you’re  on the ketogenic diet you’re eating  

it doesn’t turn this off because eating increases  this so fasting especially if you’re doing  

periodic prolonged fasting can turn this off  which can greatly reduce the size of tumors  

and actually prevent and shrink cancer which  is very very cool also you’ll get a decrease in  

something called igf which you normally always see  when you have cancer as well because it’s a growth  

hormone and so when you fast you get a decrease  in this and that so anyone that gets cancer  

should be doing fasting in a major way  it’s probably the most important thing  

number seven you get an increase in growth hormone  and that’s the anti-aging that’s fat burning  

and growth hormone helps prevent the loss of  muscle because your body’s going to protect that  

when you’re eating regardless of what you’re  eating you’re not stimulating growth hormone  

near as much as when you’re doing fasting of  course when you add exercise that will increase  

it as well all right number eight this one’s a  really important one you can you can increase your  

stem cells in your immune system what is this  going to do it’s going to protect you against  

invading pathogens viruses bacteria so as  far as your immune system goes fasting is  

vital vital vital so you’ll get sick less often  and when you do get an infection you recover  

faster so apparently and it’s kind of ironic  that this would happen but as you starve off  

the microbes they become stronger and become more  diversified and number 10 there’s something called  

migration motor complex it’s basically when the  muscles in your colon start creating a little bit  

of a wave and push all the food particles through  the rest of your digestion so you can kind of  

clear out stuff that has been sitting there for  a while i mean think about the average person who  

eats not just three times a day but they have the  snacks in between the meals they eat late at night  

they are literally cramming food down this pipe  and it’s constantly filled up 24 7. they never  

actually have a chance to clean it out so this is  a cleaning out process when you do intermittent  

fasting that’s very very therapeutic for the  lining of your colon to prevent um bacteria from  

being in the wrong place etc etc now there’s many  other things that intermittent fasting will do but  

one big one is that it will completely get  rid of your hunger your appetite goes away  

even more than when you’re on the ketogenic diet  simply because even though a low-carb diet reduces  

insulin the fact that you’re eating can stimulate  some insulin so this is why the combination  

of keto and IF i think is essential because if  you’re doing intermittent fasting without keto  

the higher amount of carbs that  you would eat is going to prevent  

some of the cool effects that you experience but  if you’re doing keto without intermittent fasting  

you won’t get these effects right here you’ll get  these effects but you won’t get the whole package  

so let me let’s just weigh this out let’s see  you get younger you get thinner you get happier  

smarter because your brain neurons start to grow  

and less disease hmm hard choice but i  think uh i’ll go with the keto and iaf

hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
