Why Does Fasting Trigger Autophagy? Science vs. Longevity Hype
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what autophagy actually is—a real cellular recycling process backed by Nobel Prize–winning science—and separate that from the longevity marketing claiming it's the secret to living longer. They explore why fasting triggers autophagy, what the human research actually shows versus animal studies, and whether intermittent fasting is worth trying for metabolic health, blood sugar control, and sustainable weight management. You'll learn how to evaluate fasting claims critically and where a simple 12-hour overnight fast fits into a realistic wellness approach, without the hype.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
