- Anja Michel is originally from Germany where she did a Masters in Biological Sciences at Humboldt University. She migrated to Australia in 2007 and commenced a PhD in Biological sciences. Following this, Anja decided to put aside a career as a scientist and commenced her medical training at The University of Queensland to become a Physician Associate. Anja has mainly worked in the field of Emergency Medicine.
In recent years Anja has joined the field of General Practice and has developed a strong interest in functional medicine, a division of medicine that considers a biology-based approach and focuses on the root problem of complex chronic diseases and physical imbalances.
Anja’s clinical practice is holistic and fully evidence based. Anja did training with Diet Doctor and the Noakes Foundation and has developed expertise in treating and reversing the most common chronic diseases, such as T2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Hypertension, Metabolic Syndrome, PCOS, Fatty Liver Disease, and Obesity or weight problems. Anja is undergoing further training in functional medicine with the Institute of Functional Medicine. This extends her field of practice to treat gastrointestinal diseases, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, Thyroid disorders, Fibromyalgia, mood disorders and cognitive decline.

So happy to see more and more people seeing through the processed food industry skewed 'nutrition guidelines'.
Beautifully spoken, easy to understand, and practical approach for a more healthy lifestyle. You have renewed my otherwise broken motivation to fast again. Thank you Anja! You are awesome!
Best talk on fasting I have ever heard. Everything Anja says is true based on my experience. Thanks for getting out there and spreading the word Anja.
I am on my 12th multi-day fast (3-8 days). Hitting the reset button, exercising the metabolism, reducing liver fat, reducing inflammation. All true. Three months ago fasting was difficult. Now I look forward to fasting because I feel better when and after I fast.
The key, for me anyway, was electrolytes (salt and a little lime juice), fiber for my gut (1 tsp of psyllium with coffee) and learning how to re-feed properly (broth and no carbs the first three meals of re-feeding). Good food tastes great, processed food tastes like crap and this is teaching my brain how to eat better. It took five or six fasts to get there, but now it is as easy as skipping a meal.
Great talk!! I feel so much better on NO carbs. Lots of butter and moderate protein.
I really enjoyed this video. And the last sentence was hilarious: renovation was exactly what we did during lockdowns. And my doing OMAD helped me not to gain weight during that time.
Thanks for that great talk. That keeps me motivated to keep going. Took me three months till I finally overcome my carb craving. I am from Germany and it seems like everyone wants to get me off the fat. It's so deep instilled into society that "fat and meat are very bad".
I recently read in a big online newspaper "meat consumption dropped to 52 kg per year in Germany" and all commentaries are chearing this.
I travel annually to Europe for leisure, and just finished a five-stop Northern Europe cruise.
Unfortunately the narrative being pushed by the EU (dominated by Germany) is counterproductive, and arguably wrong. This includes the demonization of nuclear power (truly carbon free) and the mindless push towards “renewable energy” which will drive higher inflation, energy poverty and continental deindustrialization. The campaign against farmers in Netherlands and the rah-rah push towards a “plant-based” diet is similarly rooted. None of this is based on science or common sense.
I think we have to get out of fossil fuels. Agriculture must change too. We must stop polluting our ground water. But all that nonsense about meat is horrible. So many people really believe that we must eat less meat. The reasoning is mostly: The poor animals shall no longer suffer and meat production is one driver of climate change. It's sad that so many people don't support pesticide free agriculture and grass fed animals.
Yes, the MSM and politics have done an excellent propaganda job on the German people, sadly. They have made the people feel guilty and ashamed for following their natural instincts to eat meat. The majority of my students here are heavily plant-based but not necessarily happy. I'm considered an outlier.
Very clear explanations of the mechanics of fasting. After two five-day fasts in the last six months, I found: 1. A pinch of pink salt occasionally and ACV w/water help ease the minor hunger pangs 2. Best to be eating real food for some time prior so your hunger signaling systems are functioning well. Fasting helped me go from 205 to 175 in one year.
Salt does the trick for sure.
Did you find fasting helped with loose skin?
@@Norman_Gunstan1 For myself, extended fasting both frequent such as ADF and longer duration 60+ hours helped with loose skin. I've lost 85+ lbs and have very little loose skin.. it is noticeable for a bit but reduces as I continue to eat well and fast regularly.
I don't know if simple daily intermittent fasting (less than 36 hours) would have had the same effects.
I found this overview perfect motivation to keep on fasting (and keto-ing!). Thank you!
Great timeline of what and when fasting benefits happen. This encourages me to fast over 54 hours for joint pain.
I'm right on board with fasting. I find Cole Robinson's talks on fasting very motivating.
I really enjoyed her presentation and hope she keeps giving them.
Brilliant! I'll have to watch this again.
This is so interesting. I have learnt much of this from Jason Fung. I have a mental block about going to bed without dinner! 24 hours no problem ........
I'm determined to get over this block.
One of the best explanation on this subject...
Thankyou..
An excellent, well presented, easy to understand talk, thank you very much.
One of the best..
Thanks
I am editing this…
Absolutely brilliant…
this is wonderful info! thank you Dr. Anja!
This was a great presentation. I looked for a channel to subscribe tp for Anja Michel but it appears there is none. I hope there is one. I would like to learn more. 👍🏻
Motivational details. I've been doing LCHF for some months, considering a 48 hour fast. Will put it on my calendar, should be interesting.
Based on my experience, the big benefits happen after day 5, but work your way up to five days.
Make sure you keep up your electrolytes, and have broth and no carbs the first few meals when you start to eat. Carbs will make you feel like crap on the first day of re-feeding. Beef broth tastes absolutely awesome though. I have beef broth and two eggs as my second meal. When you re-feed you need some glucose to get the body to repair itself, but lightly cooked veggies and protein will be enough without causing a big spike in insulin.
Very informative and well presented. I will rewatch for sure.
You will find Mick Jagger to be a health nut. Keith Richards on the other hand is probably not out jogging every day to maintain "moves like Jagger!". What I wanted to hear is, how often is a 48 hour fast recommended? Is it a once a week exercise, or once a month? Great talk by the way. I feel inspired to include prolonged fasting as part of my OMAD diet.
Thank you - great talk
That is great information 👌. Show we need to do a low carb high fat diet with a little fasting
I fast annually for 27 days, going for 30, something ALWAYS HAPPEN!🥴 Just happens that if I start 5-7 days before the 30 day period of highest heat, I don't need any cooling. 2 🐦 1 💎
What happens?
Delightful!
excellent presentation! thank you!
Great content, thank you!
Hey it's Lent. Just fast for the body and the spirit.
Yes, I am doing exactly that. Good for body and soul at the same time. "Mens sana in corpore sano."
no if ur leaning fasting is deadly no point in fasting more than 16-20 hours if ur in shape just STOP putting so much poison in ur body and 12 hours of fasting is enough to detox
I thought lent was only about not eating during daylight hours?
Amen
@@yoso585that is Ramadan.
Great presentation. Thank you.
This is great information. I am going to skip my omad. I was having cheat days which is code for being stupid and dosing myself with a sugar hit at the weekend. I have not done that for 2weeks so hope I can stay away from food pushers until I am clean of sugars.
Thanks for the chapters! Great overview.
Great presentation. 👍
Great talk
great
Sometimes I feel that doctors like her should at least mention Dr Jason Fung who spoke exactly that, some 10 years ago or more…
Thank you very interesting and important information 🙏💕👍xoxo
Thank You! Great information! 😊
Vielen Dank! Thank you!
That was a great talk. Thanks a lot
Regards
Joe
Really excellent presentation, thank you!
Really enjoyed that. Thank you.
Thanks for this, just what I needed right now ❤
Informative. Nice presentation style.
Seems like eating 3 times a day is screwing up all these protective processes that keep us healthy.
thankyou
Brilliant 💎
Terrific 🙏
I’ve done fasts from 18 hrs to 7 days for the past year. I’m still waiting to not be hungry whist fasting! Sure there are spells when you can distract yourself and you don’t feel as hungry as you thought you might. But inevitably hunger is what makes me eat again
Well 7 days is brilliant hope I can get to that and I would be happy if you stay to long body gets used to less then puts on in fat so not too long
I’m very happy that I do fasting everyday since last year, 18:6 and keto diet, and now I am really thinking 🤔 to do carnivore, I’ve seen so many videos and comments about this, and specially seen Dr. KenD Berry.
Excellent!
Excellent!!
What does she mean about HOW to reset adrenals before doing LCHF / fasting?
My question is: I can easily go for 36-48 hours but then I can’t sleep!
I am on carnivore diet now for almost 3 mnths and I am doing very good (with fasting). The no sleep bothers me.
I noticed this when I first started fasting, even for one day -- but your body adapts, I don't know the mechanics, I had read quite a bit of similar stories and felt relieved ... then started sleeping better lol!
I find this too, I’ve done 7,5,4,3,2 1 day fasts. On the 7 day fast the sleep was worst in the early days, by the 5 and 6the night, sleep improved. I find the 2 and 3 day fasts hard for this reason sometimes! I still love fasting though. I have heard of people like Paul Saladino recommend a small amount of honey to help with sleep at night, I haven’t tried it I feel it would be breaking the fast.
You could try once seechow it helps,
See chow ,,Haha brain thinking foood,,, yum
How do you "get the adrenals on board"? Practically what do you do?
Trying to fast 36 hrs every week fast Sun eve until Tuesday AM
A great 👍 information, in Brisben ir was a resort started by a father , Don and later on his son Tyler joined him and they have been keeping this way of recovery for around 45 years with great success. "2% - 5% of all Planet's population - think "..and 95 % will better die than they will think "Bernard Show famous quote 😀 is even much more obvious nowadays :)
I wanna know more about adrenals causing issues with low carb diets or fasting. Like I take Vyvanse or methylphenidate which obviously keeps you in a bit more of a fight/flight mode
Yes I have questions about the adrenals too
That's a question that I'd like answered 25:50 too
How do you cure adrenals first?
Get well - fast 😉
Great talk. I was missing information on how to fast. Water fast or fat fast (as Dr Bright is recommending)? It seems fat fasting is easier on the adrenals.
But, now doctors like Peter Attia and Brad Stanfield say that fasting depletes lean muscle mass too much, especially if you are a senior. I'm 66 years old, love fasting for multiple days, but now I'm afraid I'll be hurting myself.
That’d be nice to have that speech in German for some of my relatives.
Any clues anybody?
I don't eat only when I'm hungry, otherwise my last meal of the day happens too late for me to sleep well, but I do eat 1-2 times a day anyway..
agrees with a bunch of this
If you are concerned not to mention fasting to your patients first up, then I guess telling them to have a cold bath first thing in the morning is not on either
Experientially, intermittent fasting with a ketogenic diet is Imperative, beyond the developmental & procreation stages, as this ℹ️nformed Biologist 👩🏽🔬 advises 🙌🏽🥳☂️🌅 24:44
👍
for a lot of us, we didn't make it without meds. they aren't all they are cracked up to be, sure, but they can be necessary.
While this is true, many people who regularly take medication especially prescription medication could do without it (eventually anyway) following better lifestyle habits including fasting (extended if possible and necessary), eating whole foods (not highly processed food-like substances), getting daily quality rest, and movement/exercise particularly in the outdoors.
Love your talk great information. Don't hack on Mick Jagger he works out twice a day and has been living a clean life for quite a few years now.
Where is the evidence in the past, 6000 years, we starved ourselves for 2 days every week.
In the 50/60s etc we did not fast but we had gaps between meals. Little sugar , fruits, or sweets, candies were a treat, animal fats for oils. Grilling meat was a no no, we saved the fat. Type 2 Diabetes was seen in over 70 year olds but still not common.
Only when the Ancel Keys diet came in did we start having real problems. Today's diet.
Well, I won't go back thousands of years.. but clearly in recorded human history fasting was common. For religious purposes (many religions call for it), for spiritual goals (example: Native Americans seeking "vision quests"), for health (Hippocrates as an example), during times of grief (as a deliberate decision as well as the body's way to protect itself). Considering how common and acceptable it was (until recently), two days a week (not necessarily consecutive) is not a huge anomaly.
Dr. Stephen Phinney says that after about 24 hours
of fasting, the body DOES start consuming its own
protein. I tend to believe him, as he has done the
studies.
Dr Fung, Dr Bickman and many others disagree. The body doesn't start consuming protein until it runs out of fat.
I’ve been fasting regularly for a year, I have definitely gotten stronger, and I’m doing less strength exercise training than I was before starting fasting. I’ve been amazed that I’ve gotten stronger. I’m in my healthy weight for height range now.
Would really like to hear Andrew Hubermans Take on these explanations.
Does MCT oil break a fast?
Dave Asprey thinks a little MCT 8 oil during a fast is probably fine.
C8 MCT helps my fasting practice.
stop drop and roll then duck and cover
Almost word for word copy of Dr Pradip Jamnadas lecture.
Fasting is unsustainable by definition. What is important
is what you do and do not ingest when you eat.
Well that's a very simplistic way of looking at things. Are you a scientist?😂
😳 no one is suggesting that you sustain a fast forever...
I frequently fast on mondays
Duruing the fast, I only consume beverages made with powdered sugar, electrolytes, some whey, and salt
Along with this I'll eat plenty of Haribo candy and chocolate
Probably some fruit too
Works like a charm.
I seem to be getting leaner month by month
Yah, but if we don't have an evolutionary past.
Too much fasting is bad for the immune system.
Autophagy and ketones increases the immune system and builds defence.
What do you call 'too much'?
"Evolution(aril)y designed"
Well there's an outstanding oxymoron if ever there was one.
LOL!😂. Pseudo-Intellectuals…
You are wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
One reason we made it 2.5 million years without meds is because the average lifespan of early humans was age 22.
This is only partly true.... There were lots of infant deaths that skew the numbers somewhat.....
The average is different than the mean. 22 can be the average of a series of numbers that doesn't even include 22.
If 3/4 of the population died at 0 and the remaining 1/4 lived to be 88, the average age at death would be 22, even if not one single person died at 22.
Infant death was extremely common in prehistoric times. A better argument against a paleolithic diet than saying that the average age at death was 22 (which, as we've seen, may just be a mathematical artefact) would be to inquire into what exactly all those infants were dying from.
Let's not swear taking the Lord's name in vain.
Really she had to use Gods name in vain . That is totally unnecessary.
A healthier way of living is to eat when you're hungry,
and stop when you're full. No "fasting" needed. These
kind of talks are counterproductive.
Be vegan
If I could have stopped farting all night long as to be not getting my sleep, I’d still be at least highly plant based. I find beans to be absolutely scrumptious.
this troll gets 5 cents to spam everywhere humans are carnivore sit down boy child in short pants
no1 is vegan cows and horses eat meat and they digest plants better than u
keep spamming ur criminal idealogies everywhere ur gonna be exposed and arrested soon expect fbi to bust in
u look great for not being a day over 70 ur skin is falling off old man
