so you want to do fasting for fear related  disorders i’m talking about anxiety panic attacks  

ptsd post traumatic stress disorder and phobias  now fear is an emotion that helps you survive but  

what happens when our body becomes in a chronic  state of fear and how does that influence our  

bodies not good and the question is what can  we do about it well one of the most powerful  

things you can do is you can do fasting there are  many many things that fasting can do for the brain  

for your immune system for your cognitive function  and for your mood now when i say mood i’m talking  

about elevating your mood from a chronic state  of anxiety or fear to a much higher state and  

now there’s several mechanisms behind why this  works but fasting is also a survival mechanism  

that helps you survive in times of danger so it  tends to counter this fear of motion especially  

supporting your adrenal glands also a little  structure in your brain called the amygdala  

which is very similar to the adrenals but for the  brain and so they found the amygdala in the brain  

has everything to do with fear and then you have  something called the sympathetic nervous system  

as in the flight or fight mechanism and the  location of that is inside your adrenal glands  

because there’s two parts you have an outside and  inside it’s on the inside and also in all of the  

mid back nerves you have the sympathetic nervous  system so there’s studies that show that fasting  

helps your adrenal glands your sympathetic nervous  system which is part of the autonomic nervous  

system and also it can help your amygdala so if  you’re stuck in this fear band whether it’s a  

low-level fear or a level fear  like in panic attacks or whatever  

you can do fasting to pull yourself out so fasting  will improve your mood it improves gaba which is  

a neurotransmitter that makes you calm it will  improve dopamine which helps increase pleasure  

which then counters stress hormones like cortisol  and fasting can actually reduce cortisol directly  

and reduces that flat or fight mechanism  as improving sympathetic nervous system  

dominance and so if you’re new to my channel and  you really want to start out doing something very  

very easy just start doing intermittent fasting  even without changing your diet okay as a step one  

then you’re going to find that it’s going to be  easier to change your diet so then you can start  

eliminating carbs okay that’s called keto i put  a link down below of that plan and it’ll walk you  

through this step by step but the main thing with  fasting is you don’t want to eat if you’re not  

hungry so many people eat breakfast as a routine  thing thinking that it’s a healthy thing to do  

even though they’re not hungry if you’re not  hungry don’t eat especially in the morning instead  

do two meals a day one at lunch one at dinner make  sure you don’t have anything between those meals  

then you’re doing intermittent fasting very very  simple that will give you 18 hours of fasting  

from your last meal to your first meal you’re  going to start seeing some magical things happen  

when you fast for 18 hours now there’s many things  you can do to enhance this you can start adding  

mct oil which your brain will love you can start  adding b vitamins in the form of nutritional yeast  

especially vitamin b1 that’s going to help a  lot and then also adding more fat to the meals  

to make you more satisfied so you can go longer  not to mention most of your brain is made of the  

fat and so you’re supporting your brain just from  adding that fat all right there you have it thanks
