of weak cells during fasting. Multi-day water only fasts show deeper autophagy. A 5-day water only fast has shown to create Plurie Potent Stem Cells upon re-feeding. Check the work of Dr. Valter Longo at USC. Fasting Clinic True North in CA, Dr. Goldhammer. BU "Cancer as a metabolic disease". Lot's of Tubers doing crazy things with Fasting and autophagy. A Nobel prize was awarded recently for describing the process of Autophagy and how it cleans up the older and senescent cells.

My practice is far more simplified...

Husband and I started intermittent fasting when covid hit. I am doing it to get my blood glucose down - has been very effective!

My max fast is @ 20 hours. Did 19 today. I think it can be easier than people think. Has such great health bennies!!

Thanks for sharing!

MAYO study ongoing-fisetin induces autophagy and clearing of senescent cells. NMN, NR aids in autophagy, quercitin, grape seed extract also helps remove senescent cells.

It targets senescent cells in adipose tissue as well which is interesting as the body has a feedback loop with the chemicals that are released from fat.
