Do This At Night to Reverse Biological Aging

About this episode

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down autophagy, the nightly "self-eating" process your cells use to clear out damaged proteins, worn-out mitochondria, and cellular junk, and explains why it is one of the most powerful levers you have for reversing biological aging.   You will learn what blocks autophagy in the modern world, how a 14 to 18-hour daily fasting window aligned with sunset switches your body from growth mode into repair mode, and why the real secret is cycling between mTOR-driven growth and autophagy-driven cleanup with a feast-famine approach built around protein-rich meals.   Dr. Jockers also lays out his complete autophagy toolkit: the foods and supplements that activate cellular cleanup, how to time fasted workouts, sauna, cold plunge, and red light therapy, how to optimize your sleep for peak growth hormone release, and a weekly 20 to 24-hour fast, plus a realistic timeline of the results you can expect from week one through month twelve.   In This Episode: 00:00 - Introduction 03:20 - Your Body Eats Itself to Stay Young 04:01 - What is Autophagy?
