❤️ I am 50 years old and started living a IT lifestyle in January. Weight loss was great ( I am smaller then I’ve been in 20 years) but that’s not the best part! My skin is amazing , my energy level is off the charts I just feel happier and more balanced. My personal preference is the warriors fast 20/4 but I am very fluid with my fasting and feeding windows to ensure I don’t feel restricted. I highly recommend fasting.
I really want to try fasting. I'm eating 2 meals a day now. I have estrogen problems. It is high and I can't seem to control it. I have been told fasting will help.
@@lalocks4992 not at all. Only veggies, and even not all veggies. Some fruits, but not sweet fruits, like banana for instance. It really works, uses autofagy, really helped me in my disease, loosind weight was a side effect :)
In India so many people do different types of fasting i.e 1 day water fasting, one month water fasting. Some people eat only fruits and nuts for one day up to 7 days. Some people do drink only lemon,sugar water for up to 9 days. Most people do one day fasting regularly once a week, have one meal a day on that day.
Intermittent fasting, hormones, menopause. I was put on Birth control pills by my OBGYN during menopause to control heavy bleeding. Had 2 strokes at 43 in my hypothalamus during. A Neurologist determined it was due to the Birth control pills. Later found out I had hashimoto's from Naturopath. Probably the cause of my heavy bleeding. So I fired my obgyn. Seeing a Naturopath currently.
Fasting was discovered around 1880s ppl fasted for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 weeks or more. Only taking water. Doctors treated very bad chronic diseases .. Fasting is awesome.
People have been fasting since the beginning of time. Early humans did not know about calories, or nutritional data, or about needing to drink 8 glasses of water a day. They just ate and drank if they were truly hungry. They didn't have access to constant food like we do. They were forced to go days without eating, especially in the winter.
Jesus Christ fasted 40 days and 40 nights over 2,000 years ago and fasting was well into place long before then people fasted for medicinal psychological emotional and spiritual purposes and they are still doing it so am I. Cheers 🦋
Love the video. I was only shortly on birth control pill when I was a teenager and I started again now in my 30s. I am considering to stop, because I am into healthy lifestyle and it affects my mood too. I am already fasting regularly and I am very happy with it.
im 66 and live a fairly sedentary lifestyle, taking care of my aging (91) yr old parent. I am , or was 100lbs overweight. Since November i have been intermittent fasting. I cut out all sugARY drinks and snacks. I boosted my intake of vegetables and fish and cut back on other protiens and dairy. I have lost 30 lbs in 3 1/2 months. But after hearing this broadcast im wondering if i have hurt myself. I eat very good food between noon and 6pm , occasionally breaking fast earlier if im hungry. Is the intermittent fasting ok for someone 66 yrs old.
More hormones next time you have her on please. SPecifically Static dosing vs Rhythmic dosing protocols...? Progesterone cream vs oral vs Troche? Thanks
Another FYI: Scientific Studies PROVE beyond a shadow of doubt that good body composition (higher muscle and lower body fat) is highly correlated to longevity. PACK on the muscle as fast as as much as you can while you can. It will keep you alive, help burn off body fat by simply requiring maintenance energy, and will help you from falling down when having balance problems after neurodegenerative attrition in age so you don't break a hip and lose mobility. The more muscle the better - those mitrochondria will gobble up food ingested glucose and fatty acids as well as burn up released body fat (lipids and ketones if in a keto diet protocol) as if magic (elevated metabolism).
I love fasting. This is a reminder to do it more often, and to not eat too late. You can interview Liferegenerator Dan Mcdonald. He recently did a 40-day fast and he loves the microbiome topic.
Omgsh I loved this. I believe in water fasting for healing. I'm only 39 but I partied pretty hard when I was young & single. Lol. Water fasting a few times per year supposedly heals our bodies from so much stuff.
I partied pretty hard too, girl, to say the least... I'm in recovery now... really clean, I eat organic as much as possible, keto, IF, I strength train.... it's working really well for me. It's very doable.
Dear Doctor I admire your knowledge and very interested in all the information you are sharing, especially regarding IF. I have some health issues and I am very tired and overwhelmed trying to improve my health. I was on the birth control pills from the age of 25 till 37 y.o. I am 41 now and my period has never come back since I stopped using pills, 3,5 years ago. About 2 years ago I started to experience aches and pains in my back, my joints and insomnia as well. A year ago, I found IF and incorporated it since then, doing consistently 13-19 hours every day, I was really hoping to get my health back. However, my pains are with me still and I struggle with insomnia now and then. I have done I think 7 blood tests through these two years and they all shown that my oestrogen is really getting lower and lower and I had also had my bones scanned, the result was very sad my bones are really weak. I also dropped some weight, what I didn`t like as I am slim enough, my BMI now 18,5 %. Endocrinologist prescribed HRT to get my oestrogen level back and protect me from osteoporosis. Now the question is shall I continue with my IF? I am worrying that it could do more harm then good. What do you think? I would really appreciate your answer.
So my question is if ancient man did not have daily food stocks or clocks how did they eat befor 7pm? They ate when they had food and slept at night. They also had fier so they ate at night some times. Fasting is not a special diet. it's not eating the problem is you can't sell not eating, unless you wright a book about fasting. There are no options, pills, food, vitamins to take when fasting. Drink lots of water and dont eat for a few days. It's hard at first but you get uses to it.
To also help your skin especially during weight loss do 'Dry Skin Brushing'. I found it to 'lift' skin over the months of losing weight. Haven't tried it yet, but learning Autophagy (happens during a particular type of fasting) also will 'lift' skin.
I was oblivious that my age (70) would impact the results I obtained from intermittent fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. After 3 months, I felt great and I liked that way to live/eat but I had lost muscle and my skin is wrinkled. I did no exercise during that time. At the same time, I was having my biodentical hormones recalibrated. Have Dr. Gersh elaborate on a solution for boomers.
Similar thing happened with my weight loss and skin and I am in my 50's. I found out recently that it wouldn't have been so bad if I had exercised because exercise increases Human Growth Hormone which helps to tighten the skin. I have been on Keto and Intermittent Fasting for almost a year now.
@@silverepique7058 , Keto is so helpful for those that are diabetic and that wish to reverse their diabetes as well as be off all medication. Many people have lived for years doing Keto. Research & seeing others results is key. Some people do say it's dangerous but also take note who those people are. Backed up with Big Pharma no doubt.
So she recommends daily eating restrictions/fasting of 13h, plus 4-7 day water only fasts once per month until you're at a healthy weight, then once per 3 months. Do I have that right? Would this hold true for a middle age menstruating obese female with adrenal fatigue, but still clinically functional adrenals?
Love this program. I would love to go deeper with this MD. I am 70 years old and slender. I would love to know how to enhance muscle mass and tone, amplify bone density and keep on having my curves in the correct places. I would like to become a better dancer too.
You could go dancing and do pilates & yoga. Take D3,K2 and magnesium Chloride via skin. Eat organic veg & fruit, fermented veg, goats milk Kefir,some wild fish and small amounts of pasture raised meat.
@@jurejo for muscle build try 'slow motion resistance training' YT videos. Lifting very slowly for 10 sec, and going back down 10 sec w no stop as heavy as you can to do at most 3-4 reps. There are a couple of books out there to follow in the gym or at home. I could lift more than DH after one month, him doing traditional and me doing slow motion
Great interview with Dr. Gersh. I would like more information on bio-identical hormone replacement and the different types. Some doctors say that there is no such animal as bio-identical hormones and that they are all synthetic. Really enjoy you and your guests.
Hmm, I don’t know about cautious look on above 65 years. There is definitely a place for fasting in overweight 65 year olds even 75 years. Especially IF. Diabetics type II should undoubtedly fast, after stopping insulin. I hate when people don’t specify prolonged versus prolonged fasting and give blanket statements on not doing IF for above 65 years of age.
I read somewhere that ones the body starts dumping all the toxins in our bloodstream etc, that we'll start to see (and feel) it in different ways. In pimples, bad odors, thick white stuff on the tongue, bad breath, etc. Supposedly if done long enough, some people even feel aches & pains on old injuries that are healing themselves. I cant say for sure, I've never made it past 4 days! Lol..I'm so weak when it comes to smelling my coworkers coffees in the morning. I typically tap out on day 4! The magic number is 21 days I heard tho. People seem to get optimal healing results by day 21. I'll try again next summer to reach that 21 day mark. Theres no way I'm attempting a water fast during a NJ winter...😂
Best advise I heard for females is "GET OFF BIRTH CONTROL" (it's a 50% greater risk of cancer and totally upsetting to metabolic/hormonal context). Also I'd add to look into using natural cruciferious derived estrogen moderators called DIM ( Diindolylmethane derived from natural foods ) - its like eating a bushel of veggies and really helps get sex hormones (even testos) re-balanced. Very useful for those in menopausal females and those even younger suffering imbalances arising from body fat generated estrogens or xeno-estrogens from foods and cooking/drinking containers (eg plastic bottles and containers etc). This will all normalize hormone context and greatly aid in body fat store/release function. We need non toxic fat cells to act as our energy buffer for times of over eating to be able to store excess cals then pull it all out again when we need the energy (fasting periods of low insulin.
I'm sorry. Don't mean to be rude but it's super hard to listen to someone who obviously has had a ton of work done to her face talk about rejuvinating your skin with fasting. Also...fasting when you have the flu is very well documented as beneficial. Wtf
Hi, Dr Felice I'm 44 yr women, IF at first I stared with 16:8 then 20:4 for 2 month now it's 3rd month , I stared missing my periods. I have hypothyroidism and beta thalassimia. at the beginning I felt great but now no fat loss no weigh lost. can u plz suggest something. that can change the scenario
I normally eat 12pm - 7pm every day. i sometimes fast shorter and sometimes longer .. When I fast longer I get very cold.. What are your thoughts on being freezing while fasting?
Lauren Gedeon When your body is burning fat to convert to ketones it puts a stress on the liver. The body will sacrifice heat to the extremities during the process. You’ll notice too if you refeed with protein your body gets warmer as it has a thermogenic effect. The body heats up during protein breakdown
@@kjmalone17 Thank you for the info! Interesting... So it's nothing to be concerned about I guess, but I get SO uncomfortably cold that I cant wait to eat to warm up! My hands get so cold they even feel a little numb.
Does the stem cell rejuvenation and apoptosis happen with intermittent fasting, or time restricted eating as well? Also since I work out in the AM, what do you recommend as a "pre-workout"? I heard some calories are okay and I've heard you can't have any (which is more what I believe since any calories would kick you out of fasting)... but I feel like I would need something to get me through my workout. Maybe tea?
You can use a teaspoon of heavy cream. Butter, or MCT oil in your water or tea but plain water is best. If your over wait then the fat your trying to burn off is all the food you need. If you're going 13 to 18 hours in between meals you should still lose wait. That 13 to 18 hours get some benefits of autophagy but they are better if you can fast 24, 48, or 72 hours unless your trying to loose a lot of waite you dont realy need to fast more than 3 days. Once or twice a month.
I agree with you, as seasonal illnesses respond well to fasting. But fasting with some health conditions can be dangerous, and need medical supervision. Neither do I entirely agree with her idea that over 65 cannot fast. Sure body mass is a consideration, but fasting lends a new lease on life, therefore is accessible, and more important for over 65.
Good question a lot of psych meds increase carbo drive and weight gain I am on antidepressant and I am ok but was on a high dose and very stable when I started I can only guess try 16/8 then slowly increase the fasting time and do it to suit your body love from elaine Lincolnshire uk
That's right lol. It is recommended to fast 16 plus hours and have 8 hrs window. You will never gain weight. I eat late at night and I don't gain weight period.
Hi, There are no studies about the effect of fasting in women. A few studies done on female vs male rats suggest that fasting is not as beneficial for women as it is for men. The overall conclusion was that fasting was actually detrimental to the female rats. The object of the studies was not the weight loss, but the health benefits - both female and male rats lost weight. Could you please shed some light on this? Thanks.
th-cam.com/video/d6kDAEiBW-Y/w-d-xo.html this vid might help as fasting does affect women more drastically, in how it affects fertility, explains the rat experiment too!
I am 69and have been taking HRT for 10 years I do fast and I shan’t to know if I should stop the HRT please tell me thanks, so I stop slowly or just stop.
i am 55 years old - currently on my 3rd water fasting programme in 2 months - first lasted 5 days after 2 weeks did 6 days and now am attempting 10 days. drinking only pure filtered water - can I still take multi -vitamins during this time - omega 3, magnesium, iron, zinc - i have 20kg to lose and planning to do a week a month of water fasting, then a week of broth and veg smoothies and then 2 weeks low carb no sugar diet (intermittent fasting 1 meal a day) . i want to repeat this every month until i reach my goal weight. i would like to know if i can take multivitamins during the water fasting.
You can but they can be hard on an empty stomach not taking your vitamins for 4 or 10 days a few times a month won't hurt you. If your doing a water fast then just do water and fasting.
Only in US people eat 3 meals plus snacks the new immigrants over eat when they arrive mistakenly thinking how rich people eat Yes unfortunately other countries are following this system that is why now illnesses and obesity is showing up in other countries Late night eating in Uruguay is after a long nap after work then wake up around 10pm (only if going out at night returning home in morning (and nothing is rushed went out after midnite to club ) they are still having periods of fasting and most walk a lot
This Dr talking differently from the rest of other researchers and doctors. She is confusing us I am not agreeing with her. Intermittent fasting should be 16 hours or more and one should eat small meal when breaking the fast . Fast from 7-8 night the eat around 12 AM
Birth control gave me melasma and now I'll have this disease for life! I'm so upset I ever took it thw short 4 montha that I did. I never had it during my pregnancy. It's horrible and no end in sight :(

Would like to know about bio-identical hormones.
Okay. I cover more on other episodes of my podcast. You can see them all here: TheSpaDr.com/podcasts
Does the stem cell rejuvenation and apoptosis happen with intermittent fasting, or time restricted eating as well? Also since I work out in the AM, what do you recommend as a "pre-workout"? I heard some calories are okay and I've heard you can't have any (which is more what I believe since any calories would kick you out of fasting)... but I feel like I would need something to get me through my workout. Maybe tea?
You can use a teaspoon of heavy cream. Butter, or MCT oil in your water or tea but plain water is best. If your over wait then the fat your trying to burn off is all the food you need. If you're going 13 to 18 hours in between meals you should still lose wait. That 13 to 18 hours get some benefits of autophagy but they are better if you can fast 24, 48, or 72 hours unless your trying to loose a lot of waite you dont realy need to fast more than 3 days. Once or twice a month.
You are supposed to fast when you are sick!!!
I agree with you, as seasonal illnesses respond well to fasting. But fasting with some health conditions can be dangerous, and need medical supervision. Neither do I entirely agree with her idea that over 65 cannot fast. Sure body mass is a consideration, but fasting lends a new lease on life, therefore is accessible, and more important for over 65.
I have a question. Is prohibitive to fast on anti-psychotic medication?
Good question a lot of psych meds increase carbo drive and weight gain I am on antidepressant and I am ok but was on a high dose and very stable when I started I can only guess try 16/8 then slowly increase the fasting time and do it to suit your body love from elaine Lincolnshire uk

"People who live in Europe tend to eat late at night"
*looks around* What? O_o
No we don't.
That's right lol. It is recommended to fast 16 plus hours and have 8 hrs window. You will never gain weight. I eat late at night and I don't gain weight period.
Depends on where you are, In Spain we eat dinner at 9.
Northern Europe we eat early.

Can I fast if I have chronic gastritis???
Hi,
There are no studies about the effect of fasting in women. A few studies done on female vs male rats suggest that fasting is not as beneficial for women as it is for men. The overall conclusion was that fasting was actually detrimental to the female rats. The object of the studies was not the weight loss, but the health benefits - both female and male rats lost weight.
Could you please shed some light on this? Thanks.
no answer til now :(

U shouldn't take hrt for over 10 years, I was told 7 is the max!
i am 55 years old - currently on my 3rd water fasting programme in 2 months - first lasted 5 days after 2 weeks did 6 days and now am attempting 10 days. drinking only pure filtered water - can I still take multi -vitamins during this time - omega 3, magnesium, iron, zinc - i have 20kg to lose and planning to do a week a month of water fasting, then a week of broth and veg smoothies and then 2 weeks low carb no sugar diet (intermittent fasting 1 meal a day) . i want to repeat this every month until i reach my goal weight. i would like to know if i can take multivitamins during the water fasting.
You need snake juice, search for Snake Diet on TH-cam
You can but they can be hard on an empty stomach not taking your vitamins for 4 or 10 days a few times a month won't hurt you. If your doing a water fast then just do water and fasting.
What about all the Europeans who eat a Mediterranean diet dinner at 8, 9 or even 10pm?
Only in US people eat 3 meals plus snacks the new immigrants over eat when they arrive mistakenly thinking how rich people eat
Yes unfortunately other countries are following this system that is why now illnesses and obesity is showing up in other countries
Late night eating in Uruguay is after a long nap after work then wake up around 10pm (only if going out at night returning home in morning (and nothing is rushed went out after midnite to club ) they are still having periods of fasting and most walk a lot
This Dr talking differently from the rest of other researchers and doctors. She is confusing us I am not agreeing with her. Intermittent fasting should be 16 hours or more and one should eat small meal when breaking the fast .
Fast from 7-8 night the eat around 12 AM
THIS.
