today we’re going to talk about prolonged fasting and

igf number one now what is igf number one i’ve done other videos on

this and it stands for insulin like growth factor

number one it’s a hormone that is made in the liver

it’s stimulated by growth hormone and it acts like growth hormone in the

body so it’s kind of an extension of growth hormone

growth hormone is made by the pituitary it goes down the liver

it triggers the liver to make igf now igf

is vitally important to the growth and development of tissues in the body

so whatever the functions of growth hormone are

those are the same functions as igf and when you’re not eating insulin goes

down igf goes up to mobilize fat to actually give you

fuel so it’s one of the fat burning hormones so it’s a

vital hormone but when you look through the research on this

there’s an association to increasing the risk of

cancer if igf is too high now it’s not that igf number one

is not the sole cause of cancer it’s involved in cancer because it’s a

anabolic hormone it makes things grow and it inhibits

something called apoptosis so this is where

certain cells like cancer cells commit suicide

well igf number one can inhibit that so that can kind of counter your body’s

ability to get rid of cancer so it’s known to promote cancer

prostate breasts liver cancer but you have to realize there’s a lot of

other things that have to happen in your body for you to get cancer

definitely you have to have damage to the mitochondria

you have to have a shift in that metabolism to fermenting glucose

so the only reason i’m bringing this up is to show you

another huge benefit that occurs when you do prolong fasting

as i mentioned before when you donate insulin goes down

and then the igf number one goes up so when you fast for three to five days

you get a pretty good decrease in igf number one

like a 30 decrease you’re also getting a major decrease in glucose

you’re tapping out your glycogen reserve in your liver

you’re decreasing insulin so your immune system starts to thrive your

inflammation goes down which is always connected to the spread of

cancer and you have all sorts of amazing neural

regenerative things that happen like your brain cells

start growing also if you have pcos this is essential to do periodically

when you do a fast for greater than five days when you get into five to seven

days or even longer you create a much

deeper drop in igf number one like a 60 drop also you get a massive drop in

glucose and insulin so you just created an

environment in your body where cancer just absolutely cannot exist

not only are you starving it it’s fuel and glutamate which is an amino acid

that can fuel cancer too so you you’re not consuming any glutamate so

that’s going to be down and you’re dropping igf number one so

you’re going to make it next to impossible for cancer cells to

survive also you’re going to find that you’re

going to clear up diabetes type 2 and you’re basically just going to live

longer so doing a longer fast every so often

is extremely therapeutic to your body now if anyone tells you that prolonged

fasting is harmful to your body or it’s starving

i’m going to put some links down below for you to just look at to show you that

it’s absolutely really good for your survival

of your cells to do periodic prolonged fasting now if you’ve

never done it before you want to ease up into it and gradually do it

and definitely take nutrients while you’re fasting but you’re going to find

that after a day or two your hunger is going

to be completely gone you’re going to have energy

your cognitive function is going to go up it’s going to be very very beneficial

at three days into your fast your cells start to resist stress and toxins so

they become stronger which is just a survival mechanism it’s

quite fascinating the point of this video is just to increase your awareness

on the benefits of prolonged fasting periodically

especially for cancer and also just to make you aware of what’s happening with

igf this is not a bad hormone it’s just that

when you do fasting you’re not just merely starving the cancer of fuel

you’re doing some other very powerful things as well

thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product

or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin

keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth

i have a keto consultant standing by to help you

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to
