What Really Happens During a 72-Hour Fast? Autophagy Myths Explained

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what autophagy actually is versus the viral wellness claims about 72-hour fasts, using peer-reviewed research to show where the science stops and the hype begins. You'll learn why shorter fasting protocols have stronger evidence than extended fasts, which populations shouldn't fast at all, and what the research actually says about cellular "renewal." The episode cuts through the noise to help you evaluate wellness claims you'll inevitably see online.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
