so we want to talk about the six stages of fasting  okay all right the first stage is between eight  

to 14 hours that’s when your blood sugar starts  stabilizing you are starting to use up your sugar  

in your blood as well as your stored sugar called  glycogen that’s what happens in the first 8 to 14  

hours now at the 10th hour your muscles are using  about 50 glucose and 50 fat so you’re in the very  

start of this transition from going from sugar  burning to fat burning all right next one 14  

hours to 24 hours the liver is going to be turning  your fat into ketones and your cravings are going  

to go down your energy is going to go up you’re  going to start noticing improvements in your mood  

less anxiety etc and more cognitive  function more focus memory and concentration  

all right next stage 24 hours to 36  hours this is where you have a full  

keto state you’re in fat burning  the liver is cranking out ketones  

your appetite is pretty much gone you have this  drop in ghrelin which is why you have no appetite  

and then you also have a spike in something  called bdnf that’s brain derived neurotrophic  

factor where your brain cells are starting to grow  you’re actually getting new brain cells that’s  

pretty cool the next stage is the fourth stage and  this is between 36 to 48 hours this is when you  

get into some serious autophagy but in stage four  you’re getting a lot of autophagy autophagy is a  

a process or a condition where your body  is recycling old proteins damaged proteins  

microbes in the body and it’s recycling them into  new proteins so you’re you’re actually cleaning  

the body and your body’s becoming very efficient  and using some of the old stuff that’s not needed  

for replacement parts as well as fuel so  you’re getting a lot of repair happening  

a lot of recycling and also when you  do autophagy you’re actually killing  

cancer cells as well that’s pretty cool  there’s also a decrease in oxidative stress  

so you know you have pollution you have radiation  you have all these things in your environment  

that is creating oxidation well when you fast  you actually have less of those effects you also  

have a decrease in misfolding proteins now what  is that that has to do with proteins becoming  

denatured or damaged so you can’t use them so this  happens many times when you’re combining a protein  

and sugar together or fat and sugar together  you’re actually getting a lot of damaged proteins  

and they kind of clog everything up and it can  lead to chronic diseases like alzheimer’s and  

chronic inflammation and so your body is um  kind of cleaning up all these proteins that  

are unusable they’re just damaged and  they just sit there and take up space  

also in this phase you’re getting more memory  improvement okay stage five between 48 to 60  

hours at this point your insulin sensitivity is is  doing really really good so because you have such  

a drop in insulin that insulin resistance problem  that you had is going away you’re getting a super  

boost in normalizing your insulin receptors  you’re getting more autophagy less inflammation  

and you’re getting healing from atrophy so let’s  say you had atrophy because you’re menopausal and  

it looks like fat but it’s really a loss of  muscle that’s all going to start healing at  

this point and you’re also getting protein  sparing so your body’s not going to go after  

your muscles as fuel they’re being protected okay  now where are you getting this protein to help  

heal well from the autophagy your body is taking  this old damaged protein converting it into new  

protein to actually heal atrophy and that’s really  cool all right stage six between 60 and 72 hours  

this is when the immune system really shines you  get immune system regeneration you get a spike in  

immune stem cells that are undifferentiated cells  that don’t necessarily have a purpose now they  

have a purpose of making new immune cells there  was a study in 2014 that that demonstrated that a  

72-hour fast led to a near complete rejuvenation  of the immune system plus people that were on  

chemotherapy had a lot less damage okay so there  you have it the six stages of fasting 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 a link down in the description right  down below check it out and get signed up today
