Want to practice fasting with me?

Each month we have a week-long group fasting experience! My intention for creating Fast Training Week ( FTW) is to bring the Resetter community together to practice fasting, learn new styles of fasting and to push our fasting growth edges. We offer a themed fast which changes every month.

“There is NO such thing as a failed fast. Every fasting experience makes you stronger and more adapted.” – Dr. Mindy

Autophagy is great for anti-aging and lowering inflammation. It makes your cells younger and more efficient. *1. Pineapple (Bromelain)* - Pineapple contains *bromelain,* an enzyme that instantly turns on autophagy. - A 2022 study in Antioxidants found that *bromelain turned on autophagy in arteries, clearing away plaque and reducing risk of heart disease.* - A 2024 review in Nutrients notes that *bromelain also activates autophagy in skin cells,* replacing old or damaged skin and improving skin texture. A 2010 study in Biofactors found that *bromelain may even help kill breast cancer cells.* It turned on autophagy to such a high degree in cancer cells that they completely self-destructed. *2. Turmeric (Curcumin)* - Turmeric is rich in *curcumin,* a unique antioxidant that’s amazing for you in a variety of ways, from lowering inflammation to improving cognitive function. - A 2016 study in Biotechnology Advances found that curcumin is particularly good at increasing *mitophagy*—autophagy in your mitochondria. - A 2023 study in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy notes that *mitophagy is especially important for healthy aging and preventing fatigue throughout the day.* *3. Green Tea (Catechins)* - Green tea contains a few unique polyphenols—antioxidants that are good for inflammation and brain function. - One of the main ones is *epigallocatechin (EGCG).* It’s especially good for autophagy. - A 2019 study in Nutrients found that *EGCG in green tea turned on widespread autophagy, reducing inflammation bodywide.* - A 2018 study in Anticancer Research found that *EGCG also activated autophagy in colorectal cancer cells,* causing them to destroy themselves and making them more susceptible to radiation treatment.
