Hello doctor ekberg I'd like to know after how many hours of fasting does autopaghy start? Some say after 18 hours some say after 24 hours some even say after 36 hrs so I'm very confused which is right
A friend decided to get the government clot-shot. And if you don't know, many MANY coroners are finding huge extremely gross clots. I think these may be some of those weird formations of protein. If so, would autophagy an effective countermeasure to these clots?
Dang just listening to this on the way to the gym, GREAT STUFF Thank You Dr. Ekberg... i will sign up when i get back home, hopefully there is still availability left...
Jan 2022, I was 406. Watching your videos and a few select others, eating nutrient dense foods, 16:8 IF, seven hours sleep each night and have dropped to 275. Started rowing several months ago for full body cardio. I am a work in progress and truly appreciate information like this.
I just started doing the 16:8 because I'm over 40 and I'm thinking of long-term health and happiness with family. One thing that really helped me was hitting a heavy bag for great cardio and endurance....plus, it's a great stress reliever. I'm gonna try the row machine next week🤙 keep up the great work brotha🤜🤛
@@o-townminideals3104 Thank you, I will. Videos like these and reading comments like yours really help. Check out "Dark Horse Rowing". I just turned 58 and was also thinking about long-term health. We can do this!
I'm 75 and I do HIIT training 3-4 times/wk, but I have been doing this for years, so I can tell when i need more recovery days and act accordingly. I never do the same workouts twice in a row. These exercises vary among hill running and bike hill intervals, rowing machine, kettle bell lifts from floor to above my head, stationary bike bursts, hitting the heavy bag and running on the spot for 60 second intervals, and sometime running stairs in a downtown office building, 18 floors, two steps at a time, elevator down, for 3 sets .But I try to do mostly compound movements, ie. full body motion utilizing many muscle groups at once. So on a slow day when I'm not looking for too much fuss, while watching tv, I'll do sets of 30 second push offs from a chair with handles and just touching my bottom to the seat. This is a compound exercise and is so convenient and effective, just doing it right on the spot. I take walks or jog lightly on alternate days. I do intermittent fasting 16-18 hrs, and eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but including one tin of canned sockeye salmon/wk, one half on one day, the other half 2-3or 4 days later. The other protein sources for me are nuts: walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts for selenium, pumpkin seeds, pecans, etc.. I eat about 10-12 veggies per day, and avocado, sometimes in stir fry with beans in coconut oil. I have some cheddar cheese, almond butter, yogurt with mixed frozen berries, grapefruit juice. I love eggs and make omelettes with most of the veggies. Sometimes veg pasta with veggies. I take 4000-5000 vitamin d3, magnesium, zinc, b6- b12 k2, and vit C. I don't eat sweets or fast burning carbs, I listen to my body and take full day brakes when I feel lethargic. My body knows best. The other thing is, I quit going to the gym and do everything at home. I have a door pull up bar, bike trainer, dumbbells, kettle bell, exercise ball, ab roller, various tension bands and use a walker without the seat attachment for dips. I no longer need the gym to get a full workout. Saves time and money. I never smoked, do drugs of any kind and don't drink. I get high on life and art. I'm not an exercise fanatic, just consciousness. When younger, I over trained with long hard workouts and paid the price in injuries and colds. Hard, long duration workouts compromise the immune system and has the reverse affect of breaking the body down instead of building up, so you can be fit but not healthy, just like Doc Ekberg says. My workouts are short and sweet, or at least short and I feel almost as young as a 30 years old me. Just a little wiser though.
On November I came across a video of yours about fasting saying it helps with diabetes, my glucose levels in the morning were at 290-310 and now they are at 140 ☺️ I have lost 15 pounds in a month and a half. God bless your life Dr. Ekberg.
Very disappointing doctors are doing what big pharma want and not wants good for the patient. Not hard to tell people to fry up some bacon Instead of eating cake. Good job finding ur own solutions.
You gotta appreciate someone who cares enough to take the time to do this for us. I know some of it is to grow your own “RUclips business” but there’s a lot of effort spent
Just changed my life around due to being recommended your channel , I was obese and couldn't find help from anyone so i stopped eating sugar and went keto and fasting , just wanted to say a massive thanks for the content , it feels so good to be alive again
@@camellia8625 brilliant i was 17 stone and now im 13 but most importantly my mental health has completely changed not feeling groggy and down, saved my life.
Dr Ekberg, you are by far my go to source for all health related topics. Your explanations are clear and precise and it's such a pleasure to learn from you. I wish I had had access to all this amazing information when I took my nursing course. So thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion. It is much appreciated. You have my deepest respect.

Him and his internet colleagues whether it be RUclips or another platform provide a fundamental public service when it comes to health. I fear the medical industry remains vague despite the knowledge of health concerning the role of insulin and cortisol and the affects towards metabolic conditions that promote and sustain chronic diseases but are intent at sustaining financial profitability.
Thank you @lucymathambo9950 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Thanks for explaining perfectly. I do 16:8 IF low carb, and walk 10k steps daily. Lost 40 pounds and my current BMI is 25. I’m 52, female with my perimenopause symptoms. It was tough but I did it with your help. Please keep on spreading your knowledge to the world. Thank you❤
Wow, this is invaluable information. When you wrote, if you are thin and longevity is your goal, I was so thankful. Finally, at 73, I have a good outline of what my exercise should be and I have been doing too much,which leaves me fatigued. Your research is impeccable, thank you for sharing.🙏
I do brisk walking daily , 2 hours Besides planking squatting lunges push ups during the day while cooking, watching TV. I hike the mountain on weekends whenever weather permits. My favorite long hike at the point lobos for moderation (3 hours course) and the griffith park for high intensity that takes 30 minutes but you really feel it. Am 70 years old, active and sporty all my life and love it. I also practice intermittent fasting 18 to 20 hours everyday. Feeling amazing.
@@Hippy2021 Hi Mary , Yes isometrics are a very good technique. I do reps plus a static hold with the isobow - you will find that your strength improves . There are some very good training vids on YT . If I could recommend a regime - (1) overhead press 10 x reps plus a static hold of between 7 to seconds . (2) incline press 10 x reps ............ (3) bench press 10 x reps .............. (4) decline press 10 x reps .............. (5) dips 10 x reps ............ These can all be done in the standing position. After a time you can increase the reps from 10 to 12 ,as can do with the static hold . Try not to hold your breath while doing exercises. Sometimes I will only do static holds - all is good as it’s a very versatile piece of equipment. You can look up if you wish is the Harry Wong workout ( he was a student of Bruce Lee ) . Any info on isometrics and such - just ask me . Good luck and good health Mary . .
Thank you Dr Ekberg. I started out intermittent fasting at 204 lbs. Did the 16:8 & lost 1 lb a month for 5 months. Changed to the 18:6 and lost 5 lbs a month. I now weigh 156 lbs. Just did my second Sprint Triathlon & placed 2nd in my age group! (I am 71) You have changed my life. Again, THANK YOU!
I have already lost 15 lbs in about 3 weeks. I was at a complete standstill till I discovered you. Thanks for being here for us. I was so sick from being prediabetic and not knowing where to begin. I am starting to feel good!!!!!
This is so contradicting to what most of so called 'PTs' would tell you. I love Dr. Ekberg. His presentations and knowledge are second to none. One of my fav ever. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Honestly, Dr. Ekberg, you are a genius. Your justification is thorough and in-depth. The information you provide will need us to conduct more than ten years of research, but it is offered here without charge. You have benefited humanity greatly. I constantly pray for you. My respect always.
I love the way you explain how the body works, simple and intelligent. I have lost over 75lbs in 5 months. I started with eating right, no more fast food and doing OMAD. Now I am incorporating exercise in my routine. Thank you for your videos, your material should be taught in schools.
Im usually fasting 4 or 5 days a week, I have around a 6 hour eating window with 18 hours no food.. amazing , ive never been so healthy in years, im looking and feeling much younger, so many benefits..also i have no hunger within the 18 hours fast as my body has adjusted after months..i cant believe how young and lean my body is ... its incredible...im in my 50's and now fasting for life....
Thank you 100000 times. I listend to you and learnt a lot. I lost my insulin resistence, high bloodpression and some Kilogramm . I put all medicine away. I eat now total different and I use IF. I am trying to forget suger. Now I got a new Life and give your knowledge to other, so you will get many new listener. ❤❤❤❤
This was extremely helpful to me because, today, not only am I embarking on my third attempt at completing a 72-hour fast but I also discovered that I'm not resting enough between workouts! As usual, your information/presentation is pure gold. Thank you so much.🙏🏆❤
@@Mrs.TJTaylor What is the sticking point? Are you fully keto-adapted before starting a fast? Have you increased your IF intervals. Are you having a meal replacement like coffee with cream/butter on your not eating day? If you need a drink during the longer fast, water with some salt is good. I'm just finishing my second 48 hours fast this week, and I'm ready for a meal. Stick with it Diane it will come. 👍
@@Mrs.TJTaylor I find myself tasting and then eating the food I'm preparing for others just around the 20th hour. I realize what I did 5 minutes later. Hahahah automatic.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Your comment caught my eye and thought I would share some of my fasting experiences. Please know, I am not boasting nor am I preaching Jesus & The Holy Spirit. I am openly sharing some experiences for your encouragement & consideration. 1) To date, I have been fasting, 14 years, for spiritual reasons rather than personal health. (learning of the health benefits by watching Dr. Ekberg) 2) The first fast I did was a 30 day "Media Fast" (no TV, radio, internet, books, magazines, etc.), which helped to build the ability to say no to my flesh. 3) My initial fasting from food, water only, was 1 day a week for 4 months 4) After 4 months of weekly fasting I decided to do a 3 day, water only fast. Truthfully, it wasn't difficult at all. 5) I have done eight 7 day water only fasts, for me, day 5 is the most difficult. 6) Again, I am not boasting when I say I have also done three longer fasts. 15 days, 23 days, 29 days. 7) I have a close personal friend who has done three 40 day water only fasts. To be transparent, the last two required a hospital visit to recover. *In conclusion*, for medical & health reasons, I would suggest fasting no longer than 3 days. That said, fasting for spiritual reasons, is impossible in our own human strength, requiring The Holy Spirit of The Triune God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Again, this is not the place nor my intent, to preach the Gospel of Jesus, I am simply sharing my experiences regarding fasting. Diane T. I hope my comment helps & encourages you. Blessings to you and your family.
In my church we fast for 24 hours the first Sunday of each month. The money saved from the skipped meals is offered to those in need, which is wonderful itself, but what it does to the body and brain is an added bonus. Win/ Win!
The Didache - Teachings of the Apostles, a very early text exhorts the faithful to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays (sunset Tue/Thu to sunset Wed/Fri). This continues to be practiced in ancient Christian communities in West Asia/the Middle East.
Hi Dr.Ekberg i'm a 56 yr old brit suffering great shoulder pain everyday and general arthritic pain and muscle pain, i drank until recently 3-4 litres of cola daily for the past 30+years, eating breads chocolates basically crap with sugar,i know the pain is me poisoning myself with sugar. My dr recently sent me for blood tests and oredicted my cardiac arrest risk at nearly 20% in next 10 yrs,i'm afraid so am trying my best to follow your teachings and those if dr.eric berg too. Thank you
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for all that you do. You are improving people's quality of life and saving lives. I have had great success with IF in the past, based on your advice. First I did 23:1 until I achieved desired result. Then switched to 18:6. That was perfect for maintenance. Then I got sloppy and started having more carbs (which initiated all the cravings etc.) and started drinking alcohol again. Within months I could see and feel the bad things happening again. I've just completed a 72 hour fast (first time) and I feel much better already. I will switch to 20:4 now (plus zero alcohol) and work my way down another 4-5 pounds before I resume 18:6
Since i started watching your videos, i started fasting once a month on a sunday, to get an easy 36-42h period of fasting. Sometimes i can even do it every second sunday. I am still amazed what this small change does to my body! :)
@@drnatesw Is fasting and its benefits (well) known in S.E Asia ? I have a feeling people, especially the older generation, might tell you that you're crazy 😅. Then again fasting in a fantastic food utopia like Singapore would be more of a challenge than in some other places !
@@vincenzo00 You’ll be surprised. It is well known here! You can’t deny the sciences sometimes haha. It’s just that people don’t openly declare such habits due to our conservative nature!
Excellent video. I work out while fasting so I guess that I am golden. LOL. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist at 70 years old. Thank you for the help.
Well done ! I'm nearly 70 and I'm happy just going from 36 to 33. Actually I was getting a bit worried I was losing too much , so your post calms those fears.
@@mikimiki6202 Lost 100 pounds about 10 to 15 pounds month. I took 2 months off for Thanksgiving/Christmas but did not gain a pound. That was my "test" that I was on the correct path.
I am a regular visitor here. Lost 7 kgs in last two months. Preparing for omad and water fasting in the coming days/weeks. My goal is loose another 10 kgs.
Thank you so much for the content that you publish on this channel. My parents have both passed away (Mum from cancer and Dad from a brain haemorrhage), so ever since losing them I've felt like I'm living with a ticking time bomb inside of me, just waiting for it to go off. From your content though, I've felt for the first time that I've got control over my health, and it has made the world of difference in so many ways I can't even begin to describe. Thank you so much once again 🙏
Was.für eine intelligente und perfekte Erläuterung der Muskelfunktionen und der Autophagie! Ich lerne, und es bereitet mir soviel Vergnügen Vielen Dank! ❤
We try telling people that rest is important, but they'll never accept it. They think the harder they work the better the outcome, and they never give their body time to rest. Particularly in regards to heart health it's not a good idea to overdo it.
Balanced diet, sleep, releasing toxins can create a temporary absence of disease & make one feel complete. Just be on a lookout for next discomfort early to prevent loss of that well-being. Health is an interval between one ailment & the next one , just try to prolong those intervals as long as our knowledge allows.
Thank you for another wonderful video. As a long-time follower, I have utilized many of your suggestions and as a result, my health has greatly improved. I'm 67, OMAD now after several months of 16/8 IF. I lost 30 lbs, have great #'s on bloodwork & do not take any RX's. After watching this video, I realize that I need to up my exercise routine to enhance autophagy. While I walk a few miles daily & do a 30 min cardio class a couple times a week, I see that I need to add in HIIT & some weights in to the mix. I appreciate you explaining HIIT so clearly; looking forward to feeling even better as I incorporate these into my life. You have been a blessing in my life!
I watch and follow your advice often and really get it. I’m 75 and worry about HIIT but I do it anyhow. Let me mention a recovery to my back. 5 years ago I was a mess and decided to change. Well I thought running would be good BUT if I tried to jog fast my spine felt like it was a part full roll of quarters (vertebrae, and cartilage just smashing together) so I didn’t try that anymore. After about 3 years of real food and low carbs I realized my back was feeling solid, now I run fast and the action is reviving my muscles coordination and I love that people staring at me when I blast past them. :)
@@R.R.Brahmareally no problem with anything at all. What were you thinking about that Keto would be a bother? I’m more meat now and at 76 I notice I’m building muscle. Funny I cheated last winter w/sugar and that is truly a Addiction, but I added some weight and I’m good now and added in lots more meat. I still want to lose 30 lbs but I’m wearing the weight differently and think I look stronger than flabby. I’ll still lose most of that.
What an excellent topic. I turned away from main stream health care over 15 years ago. I resonate to the ancient wisdom. Fasting, meditation and movement felt natural and I saw my entire being improve. Thank you Dr. Sten. You just presented the biology to explain why. I learned a meditation technique to perform a body scan. It has even proven accurate with diagnostic tests with my Dr. I won the bet! Thank you for this topic and helping people understand how our amazing body operates.
@@yakncast7530 it's based on the Delores Cannon method. In QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) there is an opportunity to do a body scan during the session. I get into a super meditative state and ask for a scan, awareness to issues, and hopefully I also get steps to take.
Thank You @ahmedemara8936 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
@@drekberg from 139 to 91 kg in around three years with lots of health benefits, looks younger and loaded with positive vibes, that’s why all thanks to you since you were and still are my advisor across this historical journey in my life, still have lots to do and achieve and I am so much confident that you will always be supportive .
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance. You have saved my life with your knowledge and sharing, caring to tell the truth about nutrition and the body ❤️
Thank you @8888riqui. I really appreciate your feedback. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start "owning" the mechanisms, we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Autophagy has always interested me so I've watched a ton of videos on it. By far, this is the best! My autophagy should be "through the roof" as I do two HIITS sessions a week on my treadmill. And, do a 3 day water fast monthly. Thank you so much for the education. Also, I'm really getting a lot out of your blood course. I highly recommend it.
Great video! Some minor corrections: Glucose can be oxidized and will always be oxidized when there is enough oxygen available. No lactic acid is produced when there is adequate oxygen to maintain oxidation. Fermentation occurs when there is not enough oxygen for oxidation, and only fermentation produces lactic acid. Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, which happens to all glucose as a preparatory step before oxidation or fermentation of glucose.
Your videos are often too long for me to fit into my schedule, but every minute of this is GOLD! Thank you! (I'm ending my 7-day fast tonight. Lots of swimming and walking this past week. Down 15 lbs with 24 hours to go.)
@@meenageorge64 Sorry! I meant to say 7-day (now corrected). No eating at all. Just a cup of coffee in the morning, and a lot of water (often with Himalayan salt added, which tastes wonderful if you're fasting).
I find it so funny when people emphasise that it's *himalayan* salt they are using... 🤦♀️ Why would that be any better than unrefined sea salt or rock salt from local mountains? Is it natural that people get essential components of human diet from a mountain on the other side of the world? 🤦♀️ There is absolutely no advantage only that Himalayan salt is sometimes a bit less pure ("more minerals" 🤦♀️) and more expensive. Oh, and I guess it's pink (sometimes even artificially intensified).
I'm 55 yo, 160lbs, 5 foot 7, and have never been fitter than I am today. For the past two years I've been exercising almost daily with an average of 2+hrs a day, which is made up of weight work one day, then cardio the other (biking, walking, hiking, boxing a bag, swimming). I normally do a full body weight workout, but will depend on how much I worked my legs the day before. I do abdominal exercises almost every day. I started this routine because I was retired due to ill health and became quite sedentary and got really bored and sick of that lifestyle, plus I was struggling with my mental health. I eat pretty well, but nothing extreme. I just make sure I don't eat much crap and don't over-indulge in anything. I interval fast as well. Sleeping on hot nights is tricky sometimes, but I usually get plenty of sleep (with no job to go to it's easier lol). I'm lucky that I have so much free time, but most people could do at least 30-60 mins a day of something to match what you advise. Now I just have to work out what I want to live longer for.
Love your videos! Thank you for teaching, thank you for bringing a new and useful information to us! I did 3-4-5 days of fasting and it is not difficult and nothing terrible happens. For some reason we are told that with a few days fasting we should be starving to the point when we faint because of the energy deficiency and lot of health issues come from nowhere… I can say that all these scary stories are the lie! There is no starving, no bad feeling, no obvious negative effects at all! After 4-5 days of fasting I usually would loose 8-10 lb., but this will come back in a month or so. However, there are a few pretty magical things happen… Some joints would stop hurting. It’s like someone just had turned that pain feelings off on that joint! I have my right wrist issues and after 4-5 days it just becomes completely num! This effect would last for a month or so. The sleep is getting way deeper and you get calm in your mind. I would definitely recommend to everyone to do 4-5 days fasting to just see if it does something good to you.
Great info. Using videos from the Walk at Home channel, I do a walk/run/lift 45 min workout once a week. It’s pretty intense. I do 30 min two-mile workouts 4-5 times per week. I do additional outside walks whenever the weather permits. I am 61 and have always loved to exercise. Thanks for all the great information. I love your videos.
My grandmother died of ALS and my mom died of FTD. I don’t know which one is worse, it’s a terrible way to die. I am interested in epigenetics to do what I can to prevent this. Thank you for the valuable information.
Dear Dr. Ekberg, first of all, I would like to thank you for your quality content. Coming from not only a healthcare professional but also an athlete, your perspective is particularly interesting for people like me. When talking about exercise, the usual recommendations refer to weight lifting routines or exercises like running, rope jumping, burpees, etc., but it would be interesting if you could analyze specific sports or disciplines and map these activities with the potential benefits or disadvantages from the health and longevity perspective. In my case, I'm 51 years old, I've been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 20 years and currently my training regime is five or six BJJ classes a week (60 to 90 minutes each) including warm-up, drilling (repeating a specific technique to perfect the movements) and high intensity rolling sessions with other BJJ practitioners. Also, I do intermittent fasting, alternating OMAD from Monday to Friday, and 16:8 on the weekends, eating a low carb diet where I include high quality protein and fat, and also low carb vegetables. It would be great to hear your opinions about BJJ training from the perspective of longevity and health, and also nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. Thank you again!
My cardio consultant told me that the 220 minus your age is absolute no sense .He said the only way to find out your max heart rate is to wear a monitor & work out to your max it's vastly different for everyone.
Thank you for your information follow your advice I have lost 20 kg. From 85 kg to 65 kg in 14 months and keep going. I never became diabetic and I have seen more benefits over all. Thank you again
I once worked with a dentist who just wasn't able to break out of professional terminology while explaining anything. I had to re-explain it all. Dr. Sten is the opposite! Beautiful clear presentations.
Thank you for talking about autophagy Dr. Ekberg. It really helps me with fasting when I can understand just how good for me it is. I didn't know the more intricate mechanisms of what happens, so thank you for being so detailed and thorough. It's really appreciated, and I feel like it was a true gift to find you on RUclips! Hope you have a wonderful Friday!
At 68 went from 205 to I70 ,,, not😊 all fat , now I am trying to put on a few pounds of muscle. Took another 2 years to get all the blood test and BP in order. Biggest mistake was lifted at the end of a fast with out eating some protein right after a work out . I have changed that and now as soon as I am done lifting I eat with in an hour . Seems I lost a lot of strength by not supplementing with protein right after workout when fasting .
I really love how you enlighten us about things we thought is correct way to take care of our body. You are a gift from God. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg!
Excellent explanation and advice on exercise. Much pain and discouragement is rooted in the mistaken belief that techniques/activities appropriate for fit people seeking "elite performance" are also appropriate for less-fit people seeking "healthy fitness". Step one is to get off the couch and take a walk, and it delivers amazing gains with very little pain.
Watched your last week video and observe your blood work decided do blood work. On 9/1/2023 done my blood test and the results as follows: Fasting blood sugar 5.3mmol/l Fasting insulin 3.4ulu/ml Hba1c 5.7% HOMA-IR 0.9 Continue do IF along with low carb diet at last pay off. As for autophagy I do intermittent fasting and exercise. Thank you for another great video. God blessed 🙏.
Thank you @balasandarkalieannan300. Numbers look good. The A1c is the odd one out of the bunch. it is relatively higher than the others, which means that it is probably on the way down since it is lagging by a few months. 😄
Thank you so much for all you do to aid people in the right direction for taking care of their body without putting up pay walls, or clearly pushing an agenda for profit!
Thank you Dr Sten. I have been experimenting with fasting for about six months now, in combination with my long time twice weekly exercise routine. Have noticed increased energy, strength and muscle mass. Increased my fasting ability from 24hours to 4days over this time. Now do a once a week 48hour fast and a four day fast once every three months. Press ups which are part of my exercises have increased from my usual 30/32 before I started fasting to my highest ever 46 on my latest session which were yesterday. Your advice has been very helpful. I should mention that I am 80 years old in 4days so it’s never to late to start.
@@oolala53 low, I didn’t do it to lose weight, just that I heard it was good for general health. I found that a four day fast meant too much weight loss, so now am on a three day fast every three months.
@@phillipoleary2532 Ty. I have tried multiple fasting protocols and honestly, I hated all of them. The last round of a 5-day fast-mimicking ( and I did do multiple day water fasting, never got easy despite all other claims) was about a year ago and I decided not to try it again for a good long while. I never kept off any of the weight that I lost and I found out that over a period of time I lost quite a bit of muscle, which is absolutely not worth it. I was not overweight when I first started any fasting, though I did carry high fat For my weight, but it has remained very steady despite many protocols. I thought maybe if you were heavier, it would’ve made the longer fasting easier, but I guess that’s not related in your case. I think I have to work more on the consistent exercise end. Continued success!
Hej . Jag är nyopererad och låg och låg och tittade på RUclips och hittade dina videoklipp 👍 Om man börjar fasta efter en operation så måste man väl läka på ett ögonblick om växthormonerna ökar med 500%. Sakt och gjort jag är inne på mitt andra dygn nu 👍
Dr. Sten Ekberg - a few questions.. 1. When you get into long term Ketosis, does Hypoxia provide additional benefits in autophagy vs initially burning through carbs/glucose? 2. If you are fasting, does taking vitamin supplements (i.e. K2, E, D3, Magnesium, L-Lysine, C...etc.) enhance the fast or is it a detriment? 3. I'm a 71yr old, 6'4", ~220 male with a CAC of +1000...is there any way (i.e. K2/MQ7, D3, C) to reduce the CAC score before I die? ;-) 4. How long does it take to reset your body's weight 'set point'...bad left knee and right hip would like 200lbs but I keep getting pulled to 220lbs. THANK YOU for addressing the CAUSE of health problems instead of the traditional medical profession's approach of 'fixing' symptoms!
This is so interesting!! Never realized how much our bodies need time to rest like this. I've been overdoing it for decades. Whew!! Gonna change things, thanks Doc!!
Practicing strong calisthenics under HIIT is a great exercise because not only using the weight of your body as muscle resistance but also with hard full body's movements of flexibility & agility
You’re so good and the way you explain everything is wonderful. Thank you 😊! There should be many yous in the world. We’d all feel better because your knowledge would spread even more. Luv ya!

I've labeled my notes the Dr. Ekberg challenge
Hello doctor ekberg I'd like to know after how many hours of fasting does autopaghy start? Some say after 18 hours some say after 24 hours some even say after 36 hrs so I'm very confused which is right
A friend decided to get the government clot-shot. And if you don't know, many MANY coroners are finding huge extremely gross clots. I think these may be some of those weird formations of protein. If so, would autophagy an effective countermeasure to these clots?
Dang just listening to this on the way to the gym, GREAT STUFF Thank You Dr. Ekberg... i will sign up when i get back home, hopefully there is still availability left...
Thanks ever heard this explain before. Learn a lot
Jan 2022, I was 406. Watching your videos and a few select others, eating nutrient dense foods, 16:8 IF, seven hours sleep each night and have dropped to 275. Started rowing several months ago for full body cardio. I am a work in progress and truly appreciate information like this.
I just started doing the 16:8 because I'm over 40 and I'm thinking of long-term health and happiness with family. One thing that really helped me was hitting a heavy bag for great cardio and endurance....plus, it's a great stress reliever. I'm gonna try the row machine next week🤙 keep up the great work brotha🤜🤛
@@o-townminideals3104 Thank you, I will. Videos like these and reading comments like yours really help. Check out "Dark Horse Rowing". I just turned 58 and was also thinking about long-term health. We can do this!
Good job, Jason! Keep up the good work!
Awesome
🎉 Awesome 👌
Protect this man at all costs.
I'm 75 and I do HIIT training 3-4 times/wk, but I have been doing this for years, so I can tell when i need more recovery days and act accordingly. I never do the same workouts twice in a row. These exercises vary among hill running and bike hill intervals, rowing machine, kettle bell lifts from floor to above my head, stationary bike bursts, hitting the heavy bag and running on the spot for 60 second intervals, and sometime running stairs in a downtown office building, 18 floors, two steps at a time, elevator down, for 3 sets .But I try to do mostly compound movements, ie. full body motion utilizing many muscle groups at once. So on a slow day when I'm not looking for too much fuss, while watching tv, I'll do sets of 30 second push offs from a chair with handles and just touching my bottom to the seat. This is a compound exercise and is so convenient and effective, just doing it right on the spot. I take walks or jog lightly on alternate days. I do intermittent fasting 16-18 hrs, and eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but including one tin of canned sockeye salmon/wk, one half on one day, the other half 2-3or 4 days later. The other protein sources for me are nuts: walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts for selenium, pumpkin seeds, pecans, etc.. I eat about 10-12 veggies per day, and avocado, sometimes in stir fry with beans in coconut oil. I have some cheddar cheese, almond butter, yogurt with mixed frozen berries, grapefruit juice. I love eggs and make omelettes with most of the veggies. Sometimes veg pasta with veggies. I take 4000-5000 vitamin d3, magnesium, zinc, b6- b12 k2, and vit C. I don't eat sweets or fast burning carbs, I listen to my body and take full day brakes when I feel lethargic. My body knows best. The other thing is, I quit going to the gym and do everything at home. I have a door pull up bar, bike trainer, dumbbells, kettle bell, exercise ball, ab roller, various tension bands and use a walker without the seat attachment for dips. I no longer need the gym to get a full workout. Saves time and money. I never smoked, do drugs of any kind and don't drink. I get high on life and art. I'm not an exercise fanatic, just consciousness. When younger, I over trained with long hard workouts and paid the price in injuries and colds. Hard, long duration workouts compromise the immune system and has the reverse affect of breaking the body down instead of building up, so you can be fit but not healthy, just like Doc Ekberg says. My workouts are short and sweet, or at least short and I feel almost as young as a 30 years old me. Just a little wiser though.
Your life is my goal!

excellent approach!! I wish my mom has the same atitude...👍
On November I came across a video of yours about fasting saying it helps with diabetes, my glucose levels in the morning were at 290-310 and now they are at 140 ☺️ I have lost 15 pounds in a month and a half. God bless your life Dr. Ekberg.
Congrats, amazing result.
I miss you my beloved.. Happy new year.
Very disappointing doctors are doing what big pharma want and not wants good for the patient. Not hard to tell people to fry up some bacon Instead of eating cake. Good job finding ur own solutions.
Great job and happy health to you
Bravo ,vous etiez diabetique depuis combien de temps
Merci
Doing some light exercise like walking while fasting generates a huge amount of ketones and autophagy!

You gotta appreciate someone who cares enough to take the time to do this for us. I know some of it is to grow your own “RUclips business” but there’s a lot of effort spent
This is the kind of content or business I wld rather pay for than content that doesn't benefit your health :)
Just changed my life around due to being recommended your channel , I was obese and couldn't find help from anyone so i stopped eating sugar and went keto and fasting , just wanted to say a massive thanks for the content , it feels so good to be alive again
Keep up the good work!

Him and his internet colleagues whether it be RUclips or another platform provide a fundamental public service when it comes to health. I fear the medical industry remains vague despite the knowledge of health concerning the role of insulin and cortisol and the affects towards metabolic conditions that promote and sustain chronic diseases but are intent at sustaining financial profitability.

Keep on going
No frills, all facts. One my favourite resources. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg,
Wow, this is invaluable information. When you wrote, if you are thin and longevity is your goal, I was so thankful. Finally, at 73, I have a good outline of what my exercise should be and I have been doing too much,which leaves me fatigued. Your research is impeccable, thank you for sharing.🙏
I love this man. I always love reading comments and seeing other peoples success stories. Everyone is amazing
Me too, Greatings from Germany ❤
I do brisk walking daily , 2 hours Besides planking squatting lunges push ups during the day while cooking, watching TV. I hike the mountain on weekends whenever weather permits. My favorite long hike at the point lobos for moderation (3 hours course) and the griffith park for high intensity that takes 30 minutes but you really feel it. Am 70 years old, active and sporty all my life and love it. I also practice intermittent fasting 18 to 20 hours everyday. Feeling amazing.
@Mary , buy yourself an’ isobow ‘ I think they are around $20 . It’s totally portable and gives you a terrific isometric workout .
Keep healthy .
I think you hike hill ?
@@staged00 up the mountain at the point lobos, carmel valley. Beautiful scenery!!!!
@@dennispickard7743 thank you. I ordered on Amazon. Appreciate sharing 💕
@@Hippy2021 Hi Mary ,
Yes isometrics are a very good technique. I do reps plus a static hold with the isobow - you will find that your strength improves . There are some very good training vids on YT .
If I could recommend a regime -
(1) overhead press 10 x reps plus a static hold of between 7 to seconds .
(2) incline press 10 x reps ............
(3) bench press 10 x reps ..............
(4) decline press 10 x reps ..............
(5) dips 10 x reps ............
These can all be done in the standing position. After a time you can increase the reps from 10 to 12 ,as can do with the static hold . Try not to hold your breath while doing exercises.
Sometimes I will only do static holds - all is good as it’s a very versatile piece of equipment.
You can look up if you wish is the Harry Wong workout ( he was a student of Bruce Lee ) .
Any info on isometrics and such - just ask me .
Good luck and good health Mary .
.
Dr Ekbergs advice is like a user guide for the wholistic human health and wellbeing, so clear and well presented. Thank you
Thank you Dr Ekberg. I started out intermittent fasting at 204 lbs. Did the 16:8 & lost 1 lb a month for 5 months. Changed to the 18:6 and lost 5 lbs a month. I now weigh 156 lbs. Just did my second Sprint Triathlon & placed 2nd in my age group! (I am 71) You have changed my life. Again, THANK YOU!
I have already lost 15 lbs in about 3 weeks. I was at a complete standstill till I discovered you. Thanks for being here for us. I was so sick from being prediabetic and not knowing where to begin. I am starting to feel good!!!!!
May Allah be praised.
This is so contradicting to what most of so called 'PTs' would tell you. I love Dr. Ekberg. His presentations and knowledge are second to none. One of my fav ever. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
As a medical person myself I have to say you are great, Dr Ekberg!
Honestly, Dr. Ekberg, you are a genius. Your justification is thorough and in-depth. The information you provide will need us to conduct more than ten years of research, but it is offered here without charge. You have benefited humanity greatly. I constantly pray for you. My respect always.
I love the way you explain how the body works, simple and intelligent. I have lost over 75lbs in 5 months. I started with eating right, no more fast food and doing OMAD. Now I am incorporating exercise in my routine. Thank you for your videos, your material should be taught in schools.
You’re SECOND TO NONE when it comes to educating people.THANK GOD I’VE FOUND YOUR YT CHANNEL...GOD BLESS 🙏
Im usually fasting 4 or 5 days a week, I have around a 6 hour eating window with 18 hours no food.. amazing , ive never been so healthy in years, im looking and feeling much younger, so many benefits..also i have no hunger within the 18 hours fast as my body has adjusted after months..i cant believe how young and lean my body is ... its incredible...im in my 50's and now fasting for life....
Hi, hace cuánto empezaste?? Tomar agua?? Qué mejoría has notado?? Combinas ejercicio con autofagia??Quiero iniciarla tengo 48.. thanks bro.
Legal👏
Wow
Doktorze Ekberg jest Pan niewyczerpanym żródłem wiedzy o zdrowiu. Dziękuję za tę wiedzę❤.
Thank you 100000 times. I listend to you and learnt a lot. I lost my insulin resistence, high bloodpression and some Kilogramm . I put all medicine away. I eat now total different and I use IF. I am trying to forget suger. Now I got a new Life and give your knowledge to other, so you will get many new listener.
❤❤❤❤
This was extremely helpful to me because, today, not only am I embarking on my third attempt at completing a 72-hour fast but I also discovered that I'm not resting enough between workouts! As usual, your information/presentation is pure gold. Thank you so much.🙏🏆❤
I’ve never been able to fast past 24 hours. I try and try, but I get stuck. I’d like to try a 48 hour fast. So frustrating.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor What is the sticking point? Are you fully keto-adapted before starting a fast? Have you increased your IF intervals. Are you having a meal replacement like coffee with cream/butter on your not eating day? If you need a drink during the longer fast, water with some salt is good. I'm just finishing my second 48 hours fast this week, and I'm ready for a meal. Stick with it Diane it will come. 👍
Good luck! I've hit 62... I'm getting there. I think this is my year for a 3 day!
@@Mrs.TJTaylor I find myself tasting and then eating the food I'm preparing for others just around the 20th hour. I realize what I did 5 minutes later. Hahahah automatic.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Your comment caught my eye and thought I would share some of my fasting experiences. Please know, I am not boasting nor am I preaching Jesus & The Holy Spirit. I am openly sharing some experiences for your encouragement & consideration.
1) To date, I have been fasting, 14 years, for spiritual reasons rather than personal health. (learning of the health benefits by watching Dr. Ekberg)
2) The first fast I did was a 30 day "Media Fast" (no TV, radio, internet, books, magazines, etc.), which helped to build the ability to say no to my flesh.
3) My initial fasting from food, water only, was 1 day a week for 4 months
4) After 4 months of weekly fasting I decided to do a 3 day, water only fast. Truthfully, it wasn't difficult at all.
5) I have done eight 7 day water only fasts, for me, day 5 is the most difficult.
6) Again, I am not boasting when I say I have also done three longer fasts. 15 days, 23 days, 29 days.
7) I have a close personal friend who has done three 40 day water only fasts. To be transparent, the last two required a hospital visit to recover.
*In conclusion*, for medical & health reasons, I would suggest fasting no longer than 3 days. That said, fasting for spiritual reasons, is impossible in our own human strength, requiring The Holy Spirit of The Triune God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
Again, this is not the place nor my intent, to preach the Gospel of Jesus, I am simply sharing my experiences regarding fasting.
Diane T. I hope my comment helps & encourages you. Blessings to you and your family.
I really like the way you present information.
It is straight to the point with no mucking around.
In my church we fast for 24 hours the first Sunday of each month. The money saved from the skipped meals is offered to those in need, which is wonderful itself, but what it does to the body and brain is an added bonus. Win/ Win!
The Didache - Teachings of the Apostles, a very early text exhorts the faithful to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays (sunset Tue/Thu to sunset Wed/Fri). This continues to be practiced in ancient Christian communities in West Asia/the Middle East.

Hi Dr.Ekberg i'm a 56 yr old brit suffering great shoulder pain everyday and general arthritic pain and muscle pain, i drank until recently 3-4 litres of cola daily for the past 30+years, eating breads chocolates basically crap with sugar,i know the pain is me poisoning myself with sugar. My dr recently sent me for blood tests and oredicted my cardiac arrest risk at nearly 20% in next 10 yrs,i'm afraid so am trying my best to follow your teachings and those if dr.eric berg too. Thank you
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for all that you do. You are improving people's quality of life and saving lives. I have had great success with IF in the past, based on your advice. First I did 23:1 until I achieved desired result. Then switched to 18:6. That was perfect for maintenance. Then I got sloppy and started having more carbs (which initiated all the cravings etc.) and started drinking alcohol again. Within months I could see and feel the bad things happening again. I've just completed a 72 hour fast (first time) and I feel much better already. I will switch to 20:4 now (plus zero alcohol) and work my way down another 4-5 pounds before I resume 18:6
Since i started watching your videos, i started fasting once a month on a sunday, to get an easy 36-42h period of fasting. Sometimes i can even do it every second sunday.
I am still amazed what this small change does to my body! :)
Never thought fasting could be this HIP!! But on a serious note, it's really good for your cardiac cycle.
What positive changes have you seen? I can’t get past 24 hours. Thanks
@@drnatesw Is fasting and its benefits (well) known in S.E Asia ? I have a feeling people, especially the older generation, might tell you that you're crazy 😅. Then again fasting in a fantastic food utopia like Singapore would be more of a challenge than in some other places !
@@vincenzo00 You’ll be surprised. It is well known here! You can’t deny the sciences sometimes haha. It’s just that people don’t openly declare such habits due to our conservative nature!
@@staged00 fasting is a holy exercise, so it fits well
Excellent video. I work out while fasting so I guess that I am golden. LOL. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist at 70 years old. Thank you for the help.
Well done ! I'm nearly 70 and I'm happy just going from 36 to 33. Actually I was getting a bit worried I was losing too much , so your post calms those fears.
How long did it take
@@mikimiki6202 Lost 100 pounds about 10 to 15 pounds month. I took 2 months off for Thanksgiving/Christmas but did not gain a pound. That was my "test" that I was on the correct path.
I am a regular visitor here. Lost 7 kgs in last two months. Preparing for omad and water fasting in the coming days/weeks. My goal is loose another 10 kgs.
Thank you so much for the content that you publish on this channel.
My parents have both passed away (Mum from cancer and Dad from a brain haemorrhage), so ever since losing them I've felt like I'm living with a ticking time bomb inside of me, just waiting for it to go off.
From your content though, I've felt for the first time that I've got control over my health, and it has made the world of difference in so many ways I can't even begin to describe.
Thank you so much once again 🙏

We try telling people that rest is important, but they'll never accept it. They think the harder they work the better the outcome, and they never give their body time to rest. Particularly in regards to heart health it's not a good idea to overdo it.
Balanced diet, sleep, releasing toxins can create a temporary absence of disease & make one feel complete. Just be on a lookout for next discomfort early to prevent loss of that well-being.
Health is an interval between one ailment & the next one , just try to prolong those intervals as long as our knowledge allows.
Thank you for another wonderful video. As a long-time follower, I have utilized many of your suggestions and as a result, my health has greatly improved. I'm 67, OMAD now after several months of 16/8 IF. I lost 30 lbs, have great #'s on bloodwork & do not take any RX's. After watching this video, I realize that I need to up my exercise routine to enhance autophagy. While I walk a few miles daily & do a 30 min cardio class a couple times a week, I see that I need to add in HIIT & some weights in to the mix. I appreciate you explaining HIIT so clearly; looking forward to feeling even better as I incorporate these into my life. You have been a blessing in my life!
Please can you give me some values of improvment of your blood work (before/after your dietry changes)?
I watch and follow your advice often and really get it. I’m 75 and worry about HIIT but I do it anyhow. Let me mention a recovery to my back. 5 years ago I was a mess and decided to change. Well I thought running would be good BUT if I tried to jog fast my spine felt like it was a part full roll of quarters (vertebrae, and cartilage just smashing together) so I didn’t try that anymore. After about 3 years of real food and low carbs I realized my back was feeling solid, now I run fast and the action is reviving my muscles coordination and I love that people staring at me when I blast past them. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience about your back issues - that's really good to know.
Are you capable of running with keto diet at the age of 75?
What is the speed?
@@R.R.Brahmareally no problem with anything at all. What were you thinking about that Keto would be a bother? I’m more meat now and at 76 I notice I’m building muscle. Funny I cheated last winter w/sugar and that is truly a Addiction, but I added some weight and I’m good now and added in lots more meat. I still want to lose 30 lbs but I’m wearing the weight differently and think I look stronger than flabby. I’ll still lose most of that.
What an excellent topic. I turned away from main stream health care over 15 years ago. I resonate to the ancient wisdom. Fasting, meditation and movement felt natural and I saw my entire being improve. Thank you Dr. Sten. You just presented the biology to explain why. I learned a meditation technique to perform a body scan. It has even proven accurate with diagnostic tests with my Dr. I won the bet! Thank you for this topic and helping people understand how our amazing body operates.
What is the source of your body scan meditation technique?
Vipassana??
@@yakncast7530 it's based on the Delores Cannon method. In QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) there is an opportunity to do a body scan during the session. I get into a super meditative state and ask for a scan, awareness to issues, and hopefully I also get steps to take.

@@drekbergHow many minutes should we HIIT sprint in total (active sprint + rest period) for autophagy, please? Thanks in advance
Autophagy has always interested me so I've watched a ton of videos on it. By far, this is the best! My autophagy should be "through the roof" as I do two HIITS sessions a week on my treadmill. And, do a 3 day water fast monthly. Thank you so much for the education. Also, I'm really getting a lot out of your blood course. I highly recommend it.
Amiga falo do Brasil vc viu resultados? 3 dias é muito.
Como voltar se alimentar pos jejum?
Great video!
Some minor corrections:
Glucose can be oxidized and will always be oxidized when there is enough oxygen available. No lactic acid is produced when there is adequate oxygen to maintain oxidation. Fermentation occurs when there is not enough oxygen for oxidation, and only fermentation produces lactic acid.
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, which happens to all glucose as a preparatory step before oxidation or fermentation of glucose.
Your videos are often too long for me to fit into my schedule, but every minute of this is GOLD! Thank you! (I'm ending my 7-day fast tonight. Lots of swimming and walking this past week. Down 15 lbs with 24 hours to go.)
7weeks? What was your fasting window?
@@meenageorge64 Sorry! I meant to say 7-day (now corrected). No eating at all. Just a cup of coffee in the morning, and a lot of water (often with Himalayan salt added, which tastes wonderful if you're fasting).
Watch the videos in 2x speed if your video watching time is limited.
I find it so funny when people emphasise that it's *himalayan* salt they are using... 🤦♀️ Why would that be any better than unrefined sea salt or rock salt from local mountains? Is it natural that people get essential components of human diet from a mountain on the other side of the world? 🤦♀️ There is absolutely no advantage only that Himalayan salt is sometimes a bit less pure ("more minerals" 🤦♀️) and more expensive. Oh, and I guess it's pink (sometimes even artificially intensified).
@@al.di.216 there is difference between different salts.
I have been educated in a lot of ways watching your videos Dr Stein Ekberg. Thank God for you and thank you.
I'm 55 yo, 160lbs, 5 foot 7, and have never been fitter than I am today. For the past two years I've been exercising almost daily with an average of 2+hrs a day, which is made up of weight work one day, then cardio the other (biking, walking, hiking, boxing a bag, swimming). I normally do a full body weight workout, but will depend on how much I worked my legs the day before. I do abdominal exercises almost every day. I started this routine because I was retired due to ill health and became quite sedentary and got really bored and sick of that lifestyle, plus I was struggling with my mental health. I eat pretty well, but nothing extreme. I just make sure I don't eat much crap and don't over-indulge in anything. I interval fast as well. Sleeping on hot nights is tricky sometimes, but I usually get plenty of sleep (with no job to go to it's easier lol). I'm lucky that I have so much free time, but most people could do at least 30-60 mins a day of something to match what you advise. Now I just have to work out what I want to live longer for.
Help others. You're an inspiration
❤️🙏❤️
@@mikimiki6202 hey thx. I’ve since started making fitness videos to keep me motivated and anyone else that might need it.
You are a great speaker! Very clear talk and straight to the point! Rarely seen..
Love your videos! Thank you for teaching, thank you for bringing a new and useful information to us!
I did 3-4-5 days of fasting and it is not difficult and nothing terrible happens. For some reason we are told that with a few days fasting we should be starving to the point when we faint because of the energy deficiency and lot of health issues come from nowhere… I can say that all these scary stories are the lie! There is no starving, no bad feeling, no obvious negative effects at all! After 4-5 days of fasting I usually would loose 8-10 lb., but this will come back in a month or so. However, there are a few pretty magical things happen… Some joints would stop hurting. It’s like someone just had turned that pain feelings off on that joint! I have my right wrist issues and after 4-5 days it just becomes completely num! This effect would last for a month or so. The sleep is getting way deeper and you get calm in your mind. I would definitely recommend to everyone to do 4-5 days fasting to just see if it does something good to you.
And do you drink water?
Great info. Using videos from the Walk at Home channel, I do a walk/run/lift 45 min workout once a week. It’s pretty intense. I do 30 min two-mile workouts 4-5 times per week. I do additional outside walks whenever the weather permits. I am 61 and have always loved to exercise. Thanks for all the great information. I love your videos.
My grandmother died of ALS and my mom died of FTD. I don’t know which one is worse, it’s a terrible way to die. I am interested in epigenetics to do what I can to prevent this. Thank you for the valuable information.
Dr. Ekberg, you have done it again! This video is so jam-packed with really helpful info. God bless you and your work!!!
My dear doctor! My beloved doctor!
May you prosper 😊
Dear Dr. Ekberg, first of all, I would like to thank you for your quality content. Coming from not only a healthcare professional but also an athlete, your perspective is particularly interesting for people like me.
When talking about exercise, the usual recommendations refer to weight lifting routines or exercises like running, rope jumping, burpees, etc., but it would be interesting if you could analyze specific sports or disciplines and map these activities with the potential benefits or disadvantages from the health and longevity perspective.
In my case, I'm 51 years old, I've been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 20 years and currently my training regime is five or six BJJ classes a week (60 to 90 minutes each) including warm-up, drilling (repeating a specific technique to perfect the movements) and high intensity rolling sessions with other BJJ practitioners. Also, I do intermittent fasting, alternating OMAD from Monday to Friday, and 16:8 on the weekends, eating a low carb diet where I include high quality protein and fat, and also low carb vegetables.
It would be great to hear your opinions about BJJ training from the perspective of longevity and health, and also nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
Thank you again!
What do your meals look like. What quality protein 😋
My cardio consultant told me that the 220 minus your age is absolute no sense .He said the only way to find out your max heart rate is to wear a monitor & work out to your max it's vastly different for everyone.

Thank you for your information follow your advice I have lost 20 kg. From 85 kg to 65 kg in 14 months and keep going. I never became diabetic and I have seen more benefits over all. Thank you again
As always, a difficult or complex subject put into context made simple and very well presented!
When you realize the Docs knowledge, wisdom and ability to teach is on the same level as the world class athlete he was, priceless!!!🏆
For some people hard excercise is part of ones life for me it's not just physical it's mental Even spiritual!
Lol . Worked construction and own a small farm . Bingo !
So to sum it up. Fast and exercise. Just be smart enough not to overdo it and not hurt yourself. Good to go.
Thanks. You are a life saver. Life is so much more rewarding when you are healthy. Health breeds happiness and happiness breeds love. Love you Sten.
Hello Dr Ekberg.
Very educational video, as always.
Thank You for what you doing.
You are welcome @ballkans. Thank you for watching. 😄
He gets the info out in a timely manner without a bunch of un needed hype or unnecessary fluff
I once worked with a dentist who just wasn't able to break out of professional terminology while explaining anything. I had to re-explain it all. Dr. Sten is the opposite! Beautiful clear presentations.
Thank you for talking about autophagy Dr. Ekberg. It really helps me with fasting when I can understand just how good for me it is. I didn't know the more intricate mechanisms of what happens, so thank you for being so detailed and thorough. It's really appreciated, and I feel like it was a true gift to find you on RUclips! Hope you have a wonderful Friday!
May Allah's blessings be with you.
The gold standard for HIIT training is apparently 4 x 4 mins (with 4 mins rest between each 4 min high intensity run etc) - from study in Norway.
Sprints or running up stairs is my favourite HIIT. Currently 64, dropped from 203 to 135 since 2020
🏆❤
That is actually insane. Congrats
How tall are you?
This is over the top.
At 68 went from 205 to I70 ,,, not😊 all fat , now I am trying to put on a few pounds of muscle. Took another 2 years to get all the blood test and BP in order. Biggest mistake was lifted at the end of a fast with out eating some protein right after a work out . I have changed that and now as soon as I am done lifting I eat with in an hour . Seems I lost a lot of strength by not supplementing with protein right after workout when fasting .
I really love how you enlighten us about things we thought is correct way to take care of our body. You are a gift from God. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg!
This is the stuff that should be taught in school
Excellent explanation and advice on exercise. Much pain and discouragement is rooted in the mistaken belief that techniques/activities appropriate for fit people seeking "elite performance" are also appropriate for less-fit people seeking "healthy fitness". Step one is to get off the couch and take a walk, and it delivers amazing gains with very little pain.
Watched your last week video and observe your blood work decided do blood work. On 9/1/2023 done my blood test and the results as follows:
Fasting blood sugar 5.3mmol/l
Fasting insulin 3.4ulu/ml
Hba1c 5.7%
HOMA-IR 0.9
Continue do IF along with low carb diet at last pay off.
As for autophagy I do intermittent fasting and exercise. Thank you for another great video. God blessed 🙏.
Thank you @balasandarkalieannan300. Numbers look good. The A1c is the odd one out of the bunch. it is relatively higher than the others, which means that it is probably on the way down since it is lagging by a few months. 😄
@@drekberg is it beta cell not fully recovered?
Wow. You motivate me to push myself to reach my goals. Thank you so much for simply and thoroughly explaining in great detail. You are valuable.
Well said.
Thank you for explaining so clearly and scientifically. Living longer may be one thing, but living with quality is what I will look upto
Dr. Ekberg you rock. Great podcast. Thanks for all you do
I’m working hard to attain autophagy thank you for the education I am 78 and feeling better everyday
Me encantan sus vídeos y su forma de explicar. Gracias
Thanks a lot doctor. Such a useful knowledges.
You are welcome @67Nasir. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thank you so much for all you do to aid people in the right direction for taking care of their body without putting up pay walls, or clearly pushing an agenda for profit!
This is such a masterpiece of video! And it ‘sFREE. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.🙏🏼
Ganz herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Video!!! Es bringt

I take pleasure in listening to you. You have really changed my life

From Brazil here...thanks for sharing your wisdom dr❤
Thank you Dr Sten. I have been experimenting with fasting for about six months now, in combination with my long time twice weekly exercise routine. Have noticed increased energy, strength and muscle mass. Increased my fasting ability from 24hours to 4days over this time. Now do a once a week 48hour fast and a four day fast once every three months. Press ups which are part of my exercises have increased from my usual 30/32 before I started fasting to my highest ever 46 on my latest session which were yesterday. Your advice has been very helpful. I should mention that I am 80 years old in 4days so it’s never to late to start.
May I ask what your BMI was before you started these extended fasts?
@@oolala53 low, I didn’t do it to lose weight, just that I heard it was good for general health. I found that a four day fast meant too much weight loss, so now am on a three day fast every three months.
@@phillipoleary2532 Ty. I have tried multiple fasting protocols and honestly, I hated all of them. The last round of a 5-day fast-mimicking ( and I did do multiple day water fasting, never got easy despite all other claims) was about a year ago and I decided not to try it again for a good long while. I never kept off any of the weight that I lost and I found out that over a period of time I lost quite a bit of muscle, which is absolutely not worth it. I was not overweight when I first started any fasting, though I did carry high fat For my weight, but it has remained very steady despite many protocols. I thought maybe if you were heavier, it would’ve made the longer fasting easier, but I guess that’s not related in your case. I think I have to work more on the consistent exercise end. Continued success!
Hej .
Jag är nyopererad och låg och låg och tittade på RUclips och hittade dina videoklipp 👍
Om man börjar fasta efter en operation så måste man väl läka på ett ögonblick om växthormonerna ökar med 500%.
Sakt och gjort jag är inne på mitt andra dygn nu 👍
Pure gold. Thank you Dr Ekberg.
Doctor Ekberg le escucho siempre con mucha atención. Me encanta como explica sus vídeos. Gracias por todo. Saludos desde España.
Thank you Dr. Sten. Love your videos they are very educational and easy to understand. I like how you break things down.
Dr. Sten Ekberg - a few questions..
1. When you get into long term Ketosis, does Hypoxia provide additional benefits in autophagy vs initially burning through carbs/glucose?
2. If you are fasting, does taking vitamin supplements (i.e. K2, E, D3, Magnesium, L-Lysine, C...etc.) enhance the fast or is it a detriment?
3. I'm a 71yr old, 6'4", ~220 male with a CAC of +1000...is there any way (i.e. K2/MQ7, D3, C) to reduce the CAC score before I die? ;-)
4. How long does it take to reset your body's weight 'set point'...bad left knee and right hip would like 200lbs but I keep getting pulled to 220lbs.
THANK YOU for addressing the CAUSE of health problems instead of the traditional medical profession's approach of 'fixing' symptoms!
The education Dr Ekberg is providing is Priceless!! Just Amazing!!
By far the most concise, accurate and intelligent presentations on real health strategies. Thank you Dr.
Thanks, Dr. This is a very informative video. Could you talk about the benefits of Bergamot oil & Black tea on the body as it relates to autophagy?
This is so interesting!! Never realized how much our bodies need time to rest like this. I've been overdoing it for decades. Whew!! Gonna change things, thanks Doc!!
HIIT n Tabatha is good..i improve my eye sight within 2 weeks doing HIIT..only 15 mnts a day..thank to Barbara Oneill ❤..
Practicing strong calisthenics under HIIT is a great exercise because not only using the weight of your body as muscle resistance but also with hard full body's movements of flexibility & agility
Wow, another excellent detailed, logical, and most importantly informative presentation. Thanks again.
You’re so good and the way you explain everything is wonderful. Thank you 😊! There should be many yous in the world. We’d all feel better because your knowledge would spread even more. Luv ya!
I only relied on Dr. EKberg for this level of details. Wonderful oratory and presentation. Wonderful work. Thanks Dr. Ekberg.
Danke für die deutsche übersetzung.
