I’m keto and mostly OMAD. Although I eat dinner to be able to eat with my family. 2 day water fasts every 2 or 3 weeks are no problem, and 5-7 day water fasts once in a while are my weapon of choice and are surprisingly easy. I feel great coming off those longer fasts. Remember, your body doesn’t fix anything by eating, no matter what it is you’re consuming. Give it a break and let your hormones do their job.
Amen! Plus I ( do not take any toxic prescriptions or mainstream drs my choice) I try to eat clean food and do OMAD …I am 71 years young and wish I knew this when I was younger…I do like the information)
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *🫀 Understanding Heart Disease* - Heart disease occurs due to fat buildup inside the walls of arteries. - The process involves hardening of arteries, accumulation of fat, and damage to the endothelium. - To reverse heart disease, it's crucial to lower blood pressure, reduce blood sugar, and restore endothelial function. 03:11 *🔄 Autophagy and Heart Disease Reversal* - Autophagy, the recycling process of cellular debris, plays a key role in reversing heart disease. - Lowering inflammation is crucial for promoting autophagy. - Monitoring the Dr. BOS ratio, which assesses glucose and ketone levels, helps gauge autophagy effectiveness. 04:47 *🥗 Dietary Strategies for Autophagy* - Adopting a ketogenic diet can help lower blood sugar and increase ketone levels, promoting autophagy. - Implementing intermittent fasting and narrowing the eating window can further enhance autophagy. - Additional strategies like sauna usage and sardine fasting can stimulate autophagy and support metabolic health.

Summary The video discusses how heart disease can be reversed through autophagy, focusing on lowering blood pressure, reducing arterial inflammation, and restoring endothelial function. It explains the role of diet, fasting, and sauna therapy in promoting autophagy and improving metabolic health. Highlights ⚙ Heart disease reversal with autophagy is possible by addressing factors like blood pressure, arterial inflammation, and endothelial function. 🍽 Lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, reducing arterial inflammation, and restoring endothelial function are crucial steps in reversing heart disease. 🔄 Autophagy, the process of cellular waste removal, plays a key role in reversing heart disease by promoting metabolic health. 🥗 Dietary changes, fasting, sauna therapy, and sardine fasts are recommended methods to promote autophagy and improve metabolic health. 🌅 Timing meals earlier in the day and maintaining a narrow eating window can help stimulate autophagy and improve metabolic health. 🏋♂ Exercise, particularly in a sauna, stimulates mitochondria and promotes the production of ketones, aiding in autophagy. 🐟 Sardine fasts, lasting three days, can help stimulate autophagy by reducing food volume, increasing protein and fat intake, and lowering blood sugar. 📉 Monitoring the glucose ketone index and aiming for a Dr. BOS ratio below 40 can indicate optimal autophagy levels. 🎓 Joining a Master Class or online course on consistently keto can provide detailed steps for reversing heart disease through autophagy.
I’m 74 and have lost 140 lbs so far. The first 90 were according to my dietitian instructions (except for the tons of chocolate I ate because I’m an addict). As the weight reduced, my skin looked like I was melting. Pretty awful to behold, but I expected it as a result of what I had done to my body…. I thought I deserved it. The last 50 lbs is with keto where some of it was not high fat and now it is high fat…. I didn’t understand the “high” fat part of Keto until recent months when I found Dr Boz. I can see a remarkable difference in my skin. It’s shrinking instead of melting. I don’t expect the body I had when I was young, but I would be so happy to have fewer layers of hanging skin. That you Dr Boz. You are such a blessing!
I’m a nurse and was forced to get the jab. I took it due to the threats. My bad. had severe Moderna post vaccine injury. I was fainting, in arrhythmia, I could not drive or sometimes walk. I had severe brain fog and chest pain. I fasted for 80 hours and almost all my symptoms disappeared. I now fast once a month. I read all the food labels and don’t drink alcohol or soda, or anything with sugar. Autophagy also helped with other issues. This is valuable information. Sardines - No 😂
@@suzannemarie7125Wow, that is incredible. I'm so sorry you went through that in order to keep your job. No one should have had to do that. Fasting is amazing and I'm glad it worked so well for you. I know people who have or are experiencing post jab problems still, but would probably not try fasting (or any other natural method) of healing, as they appear to be caught up with being sheeple. But thank you for sharing your experience, as I'm sure it will help others who are more open-minded too.
@suzannemarie7125 excellent post. Perhaps you can answer my question, please. I just started 4 days ago. I'm already in ketosis. How is it determined if the ketones produced are from the high fats being ingested or from the liver using up fatty liver stores ( when person is not yet in the fasting phases of her program) ??
@@DR3itmatters I was on a water fast for 80 hours. So in my case it was not from fats ingested. The purpose of my fast was to be in a state of autophagy so it may eat up junk in my system and reset my immunity, and reduce (rid inflammation) etc. I monitored myself with urine dipsticks so I could monitor ketones,dehydration , etc. I have done the fast multiple times for different intervals. I DO NOT think there is a cookie cutter science. I’m smaller in physical stature, I did not eat a lot the day before, my fast was motivated by going into autophagy, I fasted 80 hours for the longest fast, however I think I reached autophagy in the 40th hour. Great luck to you in your search for your right answers.
@@DR3itmattersit's from the ketones. Your body will have not release ketones when you are in ketosis while you are fasting nit eating fatty foods. Go on Dr Berg or Dr Ekberg video and type in ketosis. You can eat too much fat initially if you are trying to lose weight. Note...this is not about not necessarily losing weight but a lifestyle. Fasting constantly 16 minimum but especially 18 to 20 is the key . The prolong fasts are more random. But thx key is to eat fatty foods like beef, butter, bacon, seafood, etc. low low carb. Eat in a short window preferably after you are adapted to fasting in a few weeks , to only eat preferably one meal a day but don't do it to quickly. Get fat adapted. In the beginning there is a fine line on how to balance the fat intake of you are doing to lose weight. The fatty part of diet will allow you to fast longer because you are more satisfied. Just don't deprived yourself of the necessary nutrients. And also you have to watch out for keto flu therefore take in electrolytes to hydrate yourself.
I’m 42 and had serious CAD. There were days where i could barely breathe ! I water only fasted for 21 days. On day 18 i had no more breathlessness ! It’s been 6 months and ive not had dyspnea again. I also went from 240 lbs to 195
Very intelligent woman, 100% on everything she says! And not drived by hypothesis of the big money maker of lowering colesterol. She not even mention it. Great to see! Thanks
Thank you Dr Boz! I just had a breakthrough with Keto and IF. I seem to have eliminated my dawn phenomenon! I'm now in the process of slowly eliminating my metformin. It's now been about 10 days since I've had a fasting blood sugar over 100, and often in the 70's and 80s. All of your tips, and tricks are paying off!!
Just a psa. If you are keto and still taking metformin, be careful about apple cider vinegar. The combination of the three caused ketoacidosis. Not saying it happens to everyone, but it did happen and there is a study on the NIH website. Just google vinegar keto acidosis.
Thumbs up for no music or gimmicks, solid presentation and delivery! So refreshing. I am curious to your point about eating close to sunrise. This seems at odds with what other docs in the fasting community say, and also at odds with how I imagine our ancestors lived ie hunting hungry all day and feasting at night after the kill. I do hope you are right though as I much prefer eating in the morning than the evening!! Thanks.
I have managed to do exactly that. After a year and a half of 18 hour fasting and whole food diet, I have managed to completely reverse my atrial fibrillation. I was permanently stuck in AF, and after an ablation that failed within a year. I luckily discovered intermittent fasting. I thought my healthy life was over.
@@joeskwara5823 since fasting is to let our body reset whatever it needs to reset, so I'm wondering if this will help reset the electrical signals we have due to AFib.
I’ve had it for over a year and I notice my symptoms gets worse when I don’t eat any carbs for 1-3 days. I guess people react different. I lost 30-35 lbs and got persistant Afib AFTER I lost weight. I had 1-2 meal every day for 3-4 months. After 4-5 months my body reacted and I got Afib😢 Even though I have eaten supplements like magnesium and potassium it didn’t reverse, only symptoms that got better. I have a CHADSVASC score that was zero, still they gave me Edoxaban and Metoprolol after I was released from hospital to reduce the chance of getting stroke. The truth is that Afib alone isn’t the reason for stroke alone, but I didn’t know that at that time. I still take the anti coag and metopr. because it eases the symptoms even though I didn’t need it BECAUSE of the Afib alone. Perhaps my blood is a little thick, idk. Don’t know what to do with this situation, (?) maybe a cardioversion could help, but I have an eerie feeling about that..😯
Thank you Dr. Boz for the time it takes to upload these videos and for all the lives. I am so thankful for all the doctors like you who do this for us. Because of all of you guys, i reversed my diabetes - A1C 12.6 to 4.5. I should have cared about my health the entire time but it took a horrible diagnosis first, now i am passionate about learning and spreading the word to others.
I’m not completely keto. But I have quit eating processed sugars, fast food and most fried foods (unless it’s occasionally homemade). Seems to be helping me a lot
I can't refute the good experiences of the other commenters, but I believe some of the autophagy benefits are due to the anti-oxidant benefits of ketones. So, to approach the problem from the oxidant/anti-oxidant paradigm could also lead to a similar outcome. And a reminder; bacon and fried foods will always be a bad idea. Good health everyone.
When I wake up in the morning, I am absolutely not hungry at all, probably not till mid-morning, 9 am at least! I wake up btwn 5 & 6 am, & I must have my coffee right away. I've heard that if you're not hungry in the morning you shouldn't force yourself and just wait until you're actually hungry so I have a hard time to eat right away, to try to spike my blood sugars first thing in the morning.
I think it is interesting that most TH-cam videos lead with the claim “what foods clear arteries”. You lead with “fasting” to clear arteries. You are amazing!!!
I've read a forklift pallet of health books, watched thousands of hours of researchers, and was actually reversing macular degeneration before my wife got seriously ill. My retina surgeon said the AMD was "over 90%" cured--he had never seen this before. Trying to get back on track, I did not realize the sauna was so helpful achieving autophagy. There is nothing more helpful in achieving results than an inquisitive and truthful MD doing their own research. Functional medicine is making fantastic strides and reversing diseases.
Whole food plant based diet comprising of Millets, Chia, Flax, nuts, legumes, vegetables, tempeh, soya tofu, soya, almond milk and peanut yogurt/ curd and intermittent fasting worked wonders for me. Now at 62, practice olymbic lifting and do three sets of Dead lift 70 kg upwards, & back Squats & front squats 60 kg upwards. Also weekly once do Landmine work outs, anumal flow and hatha yoga.
Two years ago I was 254lbs, with coronary artery ectasia, prediabetes, and GERD. I started intermittent fasting; one meal a day (low carb real food) for the most part, relaxing to a 5 hour eating window. Now I am 205 lbs, no GERD, reversed the prediabetes, and my latest CT scan reports no evidence of heart disease. Take that as you will.
Oh Heavenz yeah!!! Love this. I've got a 20% blockage that I've got to contend with and I was looking for a way, because my Cardio wanted to start me on a statin without anything else. I've lost 14lbs just cutting down/out on carbs already. Now I need to implement the autophagy part of my program while doing both resistance and triathlon- training for exercise.
Look up Dr. Sean Omara. Certain types of exercise trigger cortisol which messes with glucose. Long endurance things are counterproductive for cardiovascular health when it comes to visceral fat.
@@UN-gm2ur Yes. Absolutely. That's what I'm trying to figure out. My thought is, before checking out Dr. Omara, that it might be in the lower heartrate training for the endurance- emphasizing the fat-burning zones, which places much less stress on the system- metabolically, on the nervous system, on the hormonal system, and the muscles. At least, that's my working theory. Thanks! Very much appreciated. :)
Dr. Boz, you gave an excellent presentation! You’re interesting to listen to and you’re an attractive woman. Why in the world are there so many haters in the comments? It’s almost like every other poster was unnecessarily rude about you and /or the video in some way. I hope you read my post to know that I personally think you did a great job explaining the information. 😊
Thanks for the praise, Eden. I’ve got thick skin … and when exiting the traditional approach to medicine … I honed the skill to focus on what matters. But the praise feels nice too.
Dr. boz is a brilliant communicator & has come on in leaps & bounds from her early days.Her use of graphics is A1 & her use of facial expressions reinforces one's understanding of her narrative. Well done,much appreciated!
Dr. Boz, My understanding is that autophagy is forcing the body to recycle “proteins”. For example, to clear the spike protein from the blood, (1) stop eating protein for a few days and (2) donate a pint of blood. Donating blood increases the demand for protein because new blood cells must be constructed. A large demand and small supply of protein will force the body to use autophagy to recycle the spike protein. In that context, I don’t see how a sardine diet would help with autophagy. The autophagy you are speaking of does not seem to involve recycling proteins.
Great motivational video. On average, how long would you guess it would take to clear or drastically improve the veins and health if one would eat OMAD/CARNAVORE EVERYDAY? I am 70 and been eating keto/carnavore mostly for last 2 years. On SS, so don't go to doctor often. *(once every 3 to 10 years, lol)
I drew 2 rectangles on the diagram @8:20 enclosing those 2 groups of 3 days: ⭕️ Sardine fast ⭕️ Water fast. I noticed that the slopes of the blue & red lines are roughly the same. Just the starting points of those red & blue lines within those 3-days windows are closer for water fast. If both yield similar Autophagy effect, I may prefer to do Sardine fast twice a year to cleanse out the unavoidable cancer cells in my body. Hope in future Dr Boz or any1 post a similar study but do the water fast first & sardine fast second. I guess the diagrams will be very similar. I tried electrolytes fast while I was healthy, was an attempt to motivate my relatives with terminal cancers. It was hard for me (3 weeks of 5 days water fast then 2 days of OMAD, with 1+ hour daily jogging.) I blacked out & fell for a split second once, & felt dizzy when standing up from sitting after 3+ days electrolyte fast. Dunno the quantity of sardine Dr. Boz referred to. Hope it’s not half can a day. I may try 2~3 cans daily for 5 days….
I use my body as guinea pig 🐹 : After 3 days of *Sardine fast* (1 can (90g drained weight) a day (with 8+ cups of electrolytes (pink salt, coffee with ghee&MCT-C8). I checked my BG+BK: BG: 76mg/dl BK: 2.8 mmol/L My Dr Boz ratio: 27 < 40 It’s very doable compared with my previous 3~5days miserable attempts of water (electrolyte) fast. Any1 knows which vid shows DBozR
Doing a "fat fast" is another possibility. I believe that fat (butter/lard/ghee) doesn't spike insulin, so I 'm going to try having my butter coffee, plus electrolytes in my water. See what it does.
@ great! hope you bring us good news. I experimented a bit on myself as warmup for fat fast by putting half a piece (~100g) of grass fed unsalted butter into a keto soup. It was great for the first couple spoons…. Tried several days. I still eating like 10 cans of sardine with other food last week. But not fat fast. I like to do run+walk to burn those residue carbs when I did sardine challenges. Some minor findings: A couple of Bulletproof espresso with MCT:C8 + ghee (to wake me up. Only take some cod fish oil when I have good mood) A cup of electrolyte with creatine, inulin, L-Gluamine, probiotics (inulin as food for probiotics, creatine to kind of ease me out to do outdoor exercises, glutamine to sort of improve my endurance during exercise / to rapidly replenish the one-cell thick protective layer in my gut for my couch-to-10K-jog), take some B6 & rub some magnesium oil after shower if I have headache after exercises. I keep changing my routines after being educated by various TH-cam content creators. I heard some exercises (eg sprinting) can make the age of my heart a decade younger. The thickness of heart wall becomes thicker (more muscle?) (or thinner, I can’t remember lol). But I’m 60+ years young now. Need some way to trick my mind to motivate my ass to just go out under sun shine & sweat. I’m still working on it. Oh, exercise can reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s or more likely to slow it down in my case. May try to refrain myself from buying my favourite beers even when it’s half price 😂
@ZonyKay Oh, I know, fat needs to be weaned in gradually, over a number of weeks. I didn't use to like fat and butter - but creamy sauces, no problem. So perhaps make your sauces gradually richer? 😊 It sounds like you have laid out a workable plan. I have no idea what is good for your heart. So perhaps go easy there, at first? (I'm practically bed bound with a chronic illness, so my approach to exercise is pretty basic. Focusing on the right diet, with God's help.) So good luck with your new health year, and if you can, steer cleer the beer! ✨
There's a lot left out of this. I mean are you saying autophagy cures heart disease? Does it eat the fat in your arteries? If so, how long does it take? How many times do you have to do this 19 or 22 day diet/fast?
My prostate cancer came back on a lymph node about 5 years after my last radiation. Treatment on My oncologist ask me what I wanted to do I said metabolic therapy. Fortunately, she knew what that was. I did 382 hour fast in 2 months. My p s a went from a 4 To under a one. Braxton's, grbut, you gotta train your body. How to do? I'm a big believer in atopogy
Dr Boz - would mackerel work similar to sardines if doing a fish fast? I have such a difficult time with sardines but can tolerate mackerel much better.
In a recent "Shorts" you apologized for the medical world. While I appreciated your honesty, we patients bear some of the responsibility. Partly out of being too trusting and partly just laziness, I was just GLAD to find out Metformin would help my diabetes. Then there's the legalities that doctors need to consider in our litigious society. But, thanks to the internet and programs like yours, I am now learning. However, I'm 80 y/o and not much you can do about aging - not that I'd really want to in today's world! Sorry this is so scrambled. Just trying to say THANK YOU ALL for all you are trying to do despite so many obstacles in today's world!
Thank you. I am interested in autophagy for restoring normal thickness to my left ventricle wall which thickened due to prolonged high blood pressure. My cardiologist was involved in research showing that reduced nutrition to cells in the heart muscle will induce an autophagy that will rebuild the damaged cells. He said heart cells are different from other cells in the body in that they cannot replace themselves by division. He said frequently that going hungry wasn't going to kill me. He was about to give me a dietary protocol for me to follow that would restore my heart but he was killed in an accident before he could do so. Dr. Boz, can you do a video about cardiac autophagy and what dietary regime to follow? Thanks
Mmmm...Sardines. Love me some Sardines! I can do that. Have you done any videos on Lumbrokinase or Nattokinase for plaque removal? I think it is very important to clean the liver also since fatty liver has been in my family. I personally use the L-Threonine amino. TY 👍
I started eating once a day at the beginning of the pandemic (I had decreased to two meals a day from three day some years prior, but I knew that would not be enough to get the autophagy boost I needed to survive the pandemic). I had always wanted to do it cause yogis do it to live long. I was about to turn 50 at the time and had many pre existing conditions (pre diabetes, high blood pressure, scared liver, etc.). I also had a hardening of my artery around my left chest area. I knew that, if I didn't fast, I would not make get past the plague. The autophagy healed me of those pre existing conditions (including most of the eye sight issues I was experiencing due to the high sugar I had in the blood; as well as benign tumors I had on the skin that had accumulated from my time sun bathing in the Caribbean back in the day). The autophagy also tightened the 20 inches worth of extra skin I had sagging on me after loosing about a hundred fifty pounds (half my body weight) over the last several years.
Yogis also can affect their body by using meditation...tens of thousands hours of meditation. Some are so advanced that they do not need food of very little food for years. Just sayin'. Of course it does not mean that authopagy does not work. It works.
@@ZmogusJaponija It was the Yogis that inspired me to do that. It also inspired me to attend the Kumbha Mela in 2016. That helped me start my process of autophagy.
What should we request from are dr for blood work to measure glucose and keytones you should make video how to chart your blood work to chart or measure autophagy....
I'll try this for Lent this year. I typically start with a 3-4 day water fast, then I'll switch my eating habits. Thankfully I love Sardines 😊. The hardest part is quitting everything else. Caffeine, nicotine, I use the Zyn pouches and sugar. I normally have a headache for about two weeks. Then I start to feel amazing. Why I come crawling back after Lent I don't know. It's probably just not sleeping enough when work gets hectic, but still I need to learn to stay on this lifestyle perpetually not just for a month and a half out of the year. Thank you for all your great info and encouragement.
Hello, I have had heart problems for years here in the UK having been taken to hospital by ambulance several times in South Wales. No tests, but blood tests and ecg monitoring were done with no scans to check any arteriosclerosis, so nothing done by the nhs, Americans have the best medical doctors in the world, the UK is poor, so if you holiday here be very careful as medical emergencys will not be dealt with professionally.
You optimize autophagy in a number of ways. Even if you do them, autophagy gets suspended at night if you bring light to your night. Heart disease is underperforming mitochondria, that is responsible for autophagy. Cholesterol is supposed to reinforce inflammation damage, but not with calcium attached. Vitamin k2 carboxylates osteocalcin to make sure the calcium is left in bone and teeth. Youve got lots to learn about mitochondria that I havent even mentioned. One thing you should have known by now is that a heart attack is in tissue with vastly underperforming mitochondria that is generating lactic acid to seize the muscle. The vascular system has ways to work around blockages with new vessels to feed heart tissue. We consume light and night for proper wellness. That first meal should be within 30 minutes of waking at dawn to see the sunrise. Ketones is from fat burning. You won't burn fat without being leptin sensitive. Many many are leptin resistant because of their light and night environment.
What an EXCELLENT presentation! I just have one question. Can I substitute maybe a high fat meat instead of sardines (lamb preferably, or is the fat content in lamb not healthy vs. sardines)? My problem is, I seem to be reacting to high histamine foods like beef, and yes canned foods like sardines. Even olive oil seems to be liberating histamine in my body for a severe immune reaction (bowel inflammation, etc.) Thank you!
@@schoolgirl4suzukinot true. You are brainwashed from skew or is it school. Healthy Fatty food does not clog arteries. Sorry you like millions of others have been misinformed for a long time. That's a problem with a lie. The bigger the lie the more people will believe it. It's the bad fats from seed oils in the thousands of packaged foods the food companies are allowed to include in processed foods that are sitting on the shelves just waiting for you to consume and and clog arteries with bad fats among other hydrogenated oils. It's crazy. Stay away from packaged foods. Eat low low carb especially greens and eat red meat, seafood, and other healthy fats from real food. A proper human diet . PHD. Get educated cause the evidence if you will look is everywhere. Just look at others comments on Dr Boz and Dr Berg, Dr Ken Berry, and many others.
..Only not for people that have Afib, even though Afib isn’t a disease. I’ve had it for over a year and I notice my symptoms gets worse when I don’t eat any carbs for 1-3 days.
Thank you Doc. Question pls...Sardines: Is there a downside/risk due to their "high heat" (blanching) in the sardine processing - esp bc Sardine fat is very heat vulnerable to change, if heat is high, due to minimal "H"-atom-dbl-bonds to "C" on the fat molecule? Also: The fact that they are put in Al cans...is there a risk w/this too?
By reducing the BOZ index to the ideal level of below 40, why is it that the keto dieters perform substandardly on a glucose-insulin tolerance test? A mark of a well-functioning organism is that it can tolerate perturbation and then return to its equilibrium state fairly efficiently.
Well there is more than "one" heart disease. What the doc is explaining is blocked arteries + high blood pressute. I for my part had a thrombosis and therefore heart stroke which lead to heart ishemia. A big part of the muscle is dead be ause they were not supplied with blood due to the thrombosis. My EF is only 30% I tried multiple 72+96 hours strict waterfasts with seasalt only. I hoped autophagy will spike stemmvells and it will "repair" the damaged heart cells. Nope unfortunately it didnt help. It cleared a skin fungus the first time I fasted, but heart stayed same
You are talking about atherosclerosis, but you didn't mention calcium that might be present in arteries. Does your method make any claims about reversing the calcium score?
Take a look at NanobacTX, it is a very interesting supplement. Also, check out Dr. Darren Schmidt. Have you had a C.A.C. Score, C.I.M.T., or A.B.I. performed on yourself?
That's a myth bout gout being caused by high fat foods. It's the processed foods like high carbs eaten with fatty foods. Bread, pasta, biscuits, flour based foods. Crackers, etc.
Maintenance....just don't go back to eating the SAD diet. Standard American diet. Fast and low carb. Don't eat 95 percent of the crap in the stores. That's the best way to "maintain"
If you increase (Medium Chain Triglycerides)...this, as you know, increase the ketones. Therefore the Boz ratio is better, so is this perhaps another way to accelerate autophagy?
Did I hear you correct, that eating your meal (OMAD) close to sunrise will produce higher more stable ketones? Is this your own clinical observation or is there supporting research Dr. Boz. Appreciate your response. Dr. Ginge
On the graphic where you show the shift to two meals per day, earlier in the day, then add sauna and exercise, I did not grasp the best time for these activities to stimulate the mitochondria. Would it be early in the day, middle, later, or very late? My guess would be after the first meal and before the trough of the ketones. It also seems to me that lowering the spikes of glucose might have a greater effect on the Dr. Boz Ratio™.
I also don't like sardines, I'll try the kippers idea as a substitute and I'm ok with the idea of a butter fast because I love butter (unlike sardines).
Man you are all over the place since I started watching you 4 years ago. Eating your 1 meal a day in the morning now - what happened to before the sun went down? 72 hour fast now what happened to 36 or 40-45 Hours to be rather sure you are in Autography? Is this supposed to undo or minimize the high cholesterol issue living the lifestyle? One of the fascinating (and most interesting to me) things I learned from you was Autography which does a whole lot more than help reverse heart disease the number one killer in the USA. Keep up the good work. God Bless:)
I kind of said the same thing before I read your comment. Just got to that place of fasting until 2pm following a carnie meal late the day before. Now she changed her mind.
Lot's of influencers changed the reccomendation from skip breakfast to eat only breakfast. I think their first message about gorging yourself with food at night was marketing trick not to dissapoint their audiences who usually do not have time to eat breakfast and then like to socialise and eat in the evening. But then more and more science appeared that eating late at night...sucks. Which btw was known for thousands of years in India, Buddhist cultures and monasteries, etc.
And I thought all this was about science and the truth from someone who actually cared not an "influencer" - is there anything sacred anymore? God Bless:) @@ZmogusJaponija
I think a lot of her recommendations are for optimization. You don't have to do it all to get results. What works for you is what really matters. For me, it's easier to fast in the morning than later so that's what I try to do.
Dr. Boz. Have you considered a very low-protein ketogenic diet for plaque reversal??? Consider all the “ingredients” used to make plaque. One important component is PROTEIN! If low amounts of protein are consumed (for a period of time), the body would be forced to recycle the protein already existing within the body. Several remarkable studies show reversal of heart disease and plaque after being rescued from starvation conditions (concentration camps / prisoners of war). Additionally, Drs. Esselstyn and Ornish have demonstrated disease reversal by utilizing their vegan, no oil , no fat diets. What do these example “diets” have in common besides demonstrating disease reversal? A deficiency of protein! For anyone wanting to take these recommendations seriously and accelerate results, you may want to eliminate the protein ingestion (animal and plant) for a period of time (months or years?). Afterwards, a better diet could be commenced with sufficient protein for muscle synthesis and avoidance of sarcopenia (muscle loss - especially in old age).
Do pimples appear in the arteries in the same scenarios that they do on skin? I always have SEVERE acne when I eat a lot of nuts. Even if they are low carb, I never feel good when I replace high carbs for high nuts. It's like changing one condition for another. Also have low energy and am lethargic with to many nuts. Somehow I don't have this Issue with dairy fat (butter and cheese), and TWO nuts so far: Coconut and dark chocolate. What's up with these nuts?
You saying that arteries fill with fat sounds like something from the Ancel Keys era. Several cardiologists and other health professionals popular on TH-cam say that this does not happen e.g. inflammation causes areas in the artery where plaque accumulates to repair damage, then unstable plaque causes a clot. Which version is true?
Great question. Think of it this way. Blood glucose in low to normal levels, we will say fasting blood glucose of less then 85 "may" allow your body to restore the endothelial glycocalyx, and because of close association with the endothelium, it thereby helps to support endothelial function by improving endothelial production of nitric oxide, restores endothelial permeability, and also contributes to the anti-inflammatory properties. Nitric oxide is needed to maintain a healthy "normal' blood pressure. If you are having blood pressure issues "while not on medications", then take a look at taking a good electrolyte powder, many people are deficient. I like Dr. Eric Berg's because it has a good amount of potassium, it also helped with my leg cramps at night.
Are these "pimples" in arteries of any similar to etiology of pimples on the skin? I have a proneness to acne, even as a 37 M. But I am very fit and metabolically healthy. So is it just a coincidental use of the term?
Can you explain the eating window and the earlier eating! It seems that you are saying to eat two meals early in the day and then fast until morning. Is that correct or did I misunderstand you?
Its to capatilise on your natural dawn phenonomen insulin spike. So it reduces one insulin spike for the day. Its clever thinking.....but hard to do. Its in my 'to do' box......lol
Yes eat in the morning and make use of the dawn effect then eat your next meal 4 to 6 hours later then eat nothing until the next morning .. rinse and repeat !
I eat about 8-9 am in the morning. Then I have my last meal between 2-3pm. I only have water or chamomile tea until the next morning. I’m never hungry. I eat about 625 calories per meal.
Dr. Boz, Thank you for your videos. Got a mind boggling question. Why do you think Minnesota has the lowest death rates from heart disease of any State? Also Hawaii, which runs neck and neck with Minnesota. I have been to both those States and carefully observed. I might know the answer but admit its a guess. You could almost make a video on this subject.
![Dr. Boz [Annette Bosworth, MD]](http://yt3.ggpht.com/WfdlK4hAtLXN0pbNT1UGRBAe53Vw5hmmlAuyvVV_OUs2FctDCAR2Ot0byG4T8N5Ux04V8wgWZSk=s48-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj)
I’m keto and mostly OMAD. Although I eat dinner to be able to eat with my family. 2 day water fasts every 2 or 3 weeks are no problem, and 5-7 day water fasts once in a while are my weapon of choice and are surprisingly easy. I feel great coming off those longer fasts. Remember, your body doesn’t fix anything by eating, no matter what it is you’re consuming. Give it a break and let your hormones do their job.
Amen! Plus I ( do not take any toxic prescriptions or mainstream drs my choice)
I try to eat clean food and do OMAD …I am 71 years young and wish I knew this when I was younger…I do like the information)
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 *🫀 Understanding Heart Disease*
- Heart disease occurs due to fat buildup inside the walls of arteries.
- The process involves hardening of arteries, accumulation of fat, and damage to the endothelium.
- To reverse heart disease, it's crucial to lower blood pressure, reduce blood sugar, and restore endothelial function.
03:11 *🔄 Autophagy and Heart Disease Reversal*
- Autophagy, the recycling process of cellular debris, plays a key role in reversing heart disease.
- Lowering inflammation is crucial for promoting autophagy.
- Monitoring the Dr. BOS ratio, which assesses glucose and ketone levels, helps gauge autophagy effectiveness.
04:47 *🥗 Dietary Strategies for Autophagy*
- Adopting a ketogenic diet can help lower blood sugar and increase ketone levels, promoting autophagy.
- Implementing intermittent fasting and narrowing the eating window can further enhance autophagy.
- Additional strategies like sauna usage and sardine fasting can stimulate autophagy and support metabolic health.

Summary
The video discusses how heart disease can be reversed through autophagy, focusing on lowering blood pressure, reducing arterial inflammation, and restoring endothelial function. It explains the role of diet, fasting, and sauna therapy in promoting autophagy and improving metabolic health.
Highlights
⚙ Heart disease reversal with autophagy is possible by addressing factors like blood pressure, arterial inflammation, and endothelial function.
🍽 Lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, reducing arterial inflammation, and restoring endothelial function are crucial steps in reversing heart disease.
🔄 Autophagy, the process of cellular waste removal, plays a key role in reversing heart disease by promoting metabolic health.
🥗 Dietary changes, fasting, sauna therapy, and sardine fasts are recommended methods to promote autophagy and improve metabolic health.
🌅 Timing meals earlier in the day and maintaining a narrow eating window can help stimulate autophagy and improve metabolic health.
🏋♂ Exercise, particularly in a sauna, stimulates mitochondria and promotes the production of ketones, aiding in autophagy.
🐟 Sardine fasts, lasting three days, can help stimulate autophagy by reducing food volume, increasing protein and fat intake, and lowering blood sugar.
📉 Monitoring the glucose ketone index and aiming for a Dr. BOS ratio below 40 can indicate optimal autophagy levels.
🎓 Joining a Master Class or online course on consistently keto can provide detailed steps for reversing heart disease through autophagy.
I’m 74 and have lost 140 lbs so far. The first 90 were according to my dietitian instructions (except for the tons of chocolate I ate because I’m an addict). As the weight reduced, my skin looked like I was melting. Pretty awful to behold, but I expected it as a result of what I had done to my body…. I thought I deserved it.
The last 50 lbs is with keto where some of it was not high fat and now it is high fat…. I didn’t understand the “high” fat part of Keto until recent months when I found Dr Boz. I can see a remarkable difference in my skin. It’s shrinking instead of melting. I don’t expect the body I had when I was young, but I would be so happy to have fewer layers of hanging skin.
That you Dr Boz. You are such a blessing!
I’m a nurse and was forced to get the jab. I took it due to the threats. My bad. had severe Moderna post vaccine injury. I was fainting, in arrhythmia, I could not drive or sometimes walk. I had severe brain fog and chest pain. I fasted for 80 hours and almost all my symptoms disappeared. I now fast once a month. I read all the food labels and don’t drink alcohol or soda, or anything with sugar. Autophagy also helped with other issues. This is valuable information. Sardines - No 😂
@@suzannemarie7125Wow, that is incredible. I'm so sorry you went through that in order to keep your job. No one should have had to do that.
Fasting is amazing and I'm glad it worked so well for you.
I know people who have or are experiencing post jab problems still, but would probably not try fasting (or any other natural method) of healing, as they appear to be caught up with being sheeple.
But thank you for sharing your experience, as I'm sure it will help others who are more open-minded too.
@suzannemarie7125 excellent post. Perhaps you can answer my question, please. I just started 4 days ago. I'm already in ketosis. How is it determined if the ketones produced are from the high fats being ingested or from the liver using up fatty liver stores ( when person is not yet in the fasting phases of her program) ??
@@DR3itmatters I was on a water fast for 80 hours. So in my case it was not from fats ingested. The purpose of my fast was to be in a state of autophagy so it may eat up junk in my system and reset my immunity, and reduce (rid inflammation) etc. I monitored myself with urine dipsticks so I could monitor ketones,dehydration , etc. I have done the fast multiple times for different intervals. I DO NOT think there is a cookie cutter science. I’m smaller in physical stature, I did not eat a lot the day before, my fast was motivated by going into autophagy, I fasted 80 hours for the longest fast, however I think I reached autophagy in the 40th hour. Great luck to you in your search for your right answers.
@@DR3itmattersit's from the ketones. Your body will have not release ketones when you are in ketosis while you are fasting nit eating fatty foods. Go on Dr Berg or Dr Ekberg video and type in ketosis. You can eat too much fat initially if you are trying to lose weight. Note...this is not about not necessarily losing weight but a lifestyle. Fasting constantly 16 minimum but especially 18 to 20 is the key . The prolong fasts are more random.
But thx key is to eat fatty foods like beef, butter, bacon, seafood, etc. low low carb. Eat in a short window preferably after you are adapted to fasting in a few weeks , to only eat preferably one meal a day but don't do it to quickly. Get fat adapted. In the beginning there is a fine line on how to balance the fat intake of you are doing to lose weight.
The fatty part of diet will allow you to fast longer because you are more satisfied. Just don't deprived yourself of the necessary nutrients. And also you have to watch out for keto flu therefore take in electrolytes to hydrate yourself.
I’m 42 and had serious CAD. There were days where i could barely breathe ! I water only fasted for 21 days. On day 18 i had no more breathlessness ! It’s been 6 months and ive not had dyspnea again. I also went from 240 lbs to 195
Very intelligent woman, 100% on everything she says! And not drived by hypothesis of the big money maker of lowering colesterol. She not even mention it. Great to see! Thanks
Thank you Dr Boz! I just had a breakthrough with Keto and IF. I seem to have eliminated my dawn phenomenon! I'm now in the process of slowly eliminating my metformin. It's now been about 10 days since I've had a fasting blood sugar over 100, and often in the 70's and 80s. All of your tips, and tricks are paying off!!
Congrats!!!
So happy for you! Are you fasting?
Just a psa. If you are keto and still taking metformin, be careful about apple cider vinegar. The combination of the three caused ketoacidosis. Not saying it happens to everyone, but it did happen and there is a study on the NIH website. Just google vinegar keto acidosis.
I still have a few pounds to lose (I've lost about 60), but yes I fast about 20 hrs/day. To maintain, I seem to need to fast about 16 - 18 hrs/day.
Hi. How long did it take on Intermittent fasting until your fasting blood sugar was regularly under 100? Does it take days, weeks, months? Thanks!
Thumbs up for no music or gimmicks, solid presentation and delivery! So refreshing.
I am curious to your point about eating close to sunrise. This seems at odds with what other docs in the fasting community say, and also at odds with how I imagine our ancestors lived ie hunting hungry all day and feasting at night after the kill. I do hope you are right though as I much prefer eating in the morning than the evening!! Thanks.
Boy did I need to hear this, no more unhealthy eating for me. A big ol internet hug to you Dr. Boz.
5 months. How's it going.
What did you need the internet to tell you was eating crap food
@@steventurner197 Wish someone would tell me what you're attempting to say. 🤷🏿♂️
@@AH-yu2piHe is simply proving his superiority through condescension and undermine others. He’s a real hero.🥴
I have managed to do exactly that. After a year and a half of 18 hour fasting and whole food diet, I have managed to completely reverse my atrial fibrillation. I was permanently stuck in AF, and after an ablation
that failed within a year. I luckily discovered intermittent fasting. I thought my healthy life was over.
Oh man I'm feeling hopeful when I see this. I'm fasting right now and hoping to reverse this disease.
I’m in permanent afib as well. Any thoughts on why this reversed ? You saying this may have created the focus I need.
@@joeskwara5823 since fasting is to let our body reset whatever it needs to reset, so I'm wondering if this will help reset the electrical signals we have due to AFib.
I’ve had it for over a year and I notice my symptoms gets worse when I don’t eat any carbs for 1-3 days. I guess people react different. I lost 30-35 lbs and got persistant Afib AFTER I lost weight. I had 1-2 meal every day for 3-4 months. After 4-5 months my body reacted and I got Afib😢 Even though I have eaten supplements like magnesium and potassium it didn’t reverse, only symptoms that got better.
I have a CHADSVASC score that was zero, still they gave me Edoxaban and Metoprolol after I was released from hospital to reduce the chance of getting stroke. The truth is that Afib alone isn’t the reason for stroke alone, but I didn’t know that at that time.
I still take the anti coag and metopr. because it eases the symptoms even though I didn’t need it BECAUSE of the Afib alone. Perhaps my blood is a little thick, idk. Don’t know what to do with this situation, (?) maybe a cardioversion could help, but I have an eerie feeling about that..😯
How do you know you reversed it?
Angiography?
Carotid Ultrasound?
Calcium scoring?
Or subjective?
Thank you Dr. Boz for the time it takes to upload these videos and for all the lives. I am so thankful for all the doctors like you who do this for us. Because of all of you guys, i reversed my diabetes - A1C 12.6 to 4.5. I should have cared about my health the entire time but it took a horrible diagnosis first, now i am passionate about learning and spreading the word to others.
Great job Susan! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Thx champ!
Thanks!
I’m not completely keto. But I have quit eating processed sugars, fast food and most fried foods (unless it’s occasionally homemade). Seems to be helping me a lot
I can't refute the good experiences of the other commenters, but I believe some of the autophagy benefits are due to the anti-oxidant benefits of ketones. So, to approach the problem from the oxidant/anti-oxidant paradigm could also lead to a similar outcome. And a reminder; bacon and fried foods will always be a bad idea. Good health everyone.
When I wake up in the morning, I am absolutely not hungry at all, probably not till mid-morning, 9 am at least! I wake up btwn 5 & 6 am, & I must have my coffee right away. I've heard that if you're not hungry in the morning you shouldn't force yourself and just wait until you're actually hungry so I have a hard time to eat right away, to try to spike my blood sugars first thing in the morning.
you should eat when you first wake up then you will hate food and train your body not to eat after 5am
I'm not hungry that early either. So I add a tbsp of (unsalted) butter (and a drop of Iodine) in my coffee.
I think it is interesting that most TH-cam videos lead with the claim “what foods clear arteries”. You lead with “fasting” to clear arteries. You are amazing!!!
I've read a forklift pallet of health books, watched thousands of hours of researchers, and was actually reversing macular degeneration before my wife got seriously ill. My retina surgeon said the AMD was "over 90%" cured--he had never seen this before. Trying to get back on track, I did not realize the sauna was so helpful achieving autophagy. There is nothing more helpful in achieving results than an inquisitive and truthful MD doing their own research. Functional medicine is making fantastic strides and reversing diseases.
What did you do re: macular degeneration?
You've gotten better at this!! Thank you for all that you do.
I appreciate that- Alicia.
High insulin and high glucose causes soft plaque. Removal and prevention will prevent hard plaque.
Whole food plant based diet comprising of Millets, Chia, Flax, nuts, legumes, vegetables, tempeh, soya tofu, soya, almond milk and peanut yogurt/ curd and intermittent fasting worked wonders for me.
Now at 62, practice olymbic lifting and do three sets of Dead lift 70 kg upwards, & back Squats & front squats 60 kg upwards.
Also weekly once do Landmine work outs, anumal flow and hatha yoga.
Thank you, Dr. Boz, for all you do. You provide true help.
Two years ago I was 254lbs, with coronary artery ectasia, prediabetes, and GERD. I started intermittent fasting; one meal a day (low carb real food) for the most part, relaxing to a 5 hour eating window. Now I am 205 lbs, no GERD, reversed the prediabetes, and my latest CT scan reports no evidence of heart disease. Take that as you will.
Thank you brother
Oh Heavenz yeah!!! Love this. I've got a 20% blockage that I've got to contend with and I was looking for a way, because my Cardio wanted to start me on a statin without anything else. I've lost 14lbs just cutting down/out on carbs already. Now I need to implement the autophagy part of my program while doing both resistance and triathlon- training for exercise.
Look up Dr. Sean Omara. Certain types of exercise trigger cortisol which messes with glucose. Long endurance things are counterproductive for cardiovascular health when it comes to visceral fat.
@@UN-gm2ur Yes. Absolutely. That's what I'm trying to figure out. My thought is, before checking out Dr. Omara, that it might be in the lower heartrate training for the endurance- emphasizing the fat-burning zones, which places much less stress on the system- metabolically, on the nervous system, on the hormonal system, and the muscles. At least, that's my working theory. Thanks! Very much appreciated. :)
Dr. Boz, you gave an excellent presentation! You’re interesting to listen to and you’re an attractive woman. Why in the world are there so many haters in the comments? It’s almost like every other poster was unnecessarily rude about you and /or the video in some way. I hope you read my post to know that I personally think you did a great job explaining the information. 😊
Thanks for the praise, Eden. I’ve got thick skin … and when exiting the traditional approach to medicine … I honed the skill to focus on what matters.
But the praise feels nice too.
@@DoctorBozYes, you did an outstanding job, enthusiastically
Dr. boz is a brilliant communicator & has come on in leaps & bounds from her early days.Her use of graphics is A1 & her use of facial expressions reinforces one's understanding of her narrative.
Well done,much appreciated!
She reads articles, you dummy
Thank you
God blessed you Dr. Thank
You very much ❤❤❤❤
Dr. Boz,
My understanding is that autophagy is forcing the body to recycle “proteins”.
For example, to clear the spike protein from the blood, (1) stop eating protein for a few days and (2) donate a pint of blood. Donating blood increases the demand for protein because new blood cells must be constructed. A large demand and small supply of protein will force the body to use autophagy to recycle the spike protein.
In that context, I don’t see how a sardine diet would help with autophagy. The autophagy you are speaking of does not seem to involve recycling proteins.
Great motivational video. On average, how long would you guess it would take to clear or drastically improve the veins and health if one would eat OMAD/CARNAVORE EVERYDAY? I am 70 and been eating keto/carnavore mostly for last 2 years. On SS, so don't go to doctor often. *(once every 3 to 10 years, lol)
I drew 2 rectangles on the diagram @8:20 enclosing those 2 groups of 3 days:
⭕️ Sardine fast
⭕️ Water fast.
I noticed that the slopes of the blue & red lines are roughly the same. Just the starting points of those red & blue lines within those 3-days windows are closer for water fast.
If both yield similar Autophagy effect, I may prefer to do Sardine fast twice a year to cleanse out the unavoidable cancer cells in my body.
Hope in future Dr Boz or any1 post a similar study but do the water fast first & sardine fast second. I guess the diagrams will be very similar.
I tried electrolytes fast while I was healthy, was an attempt to motivate my relatives with terminal cancers. It was hard for me (3 weeks of 5 days water fast then 2 days of OMAD, with 1+ hour daily jogging.) I blacked out & fell for a split second once, & felt dizzy when standing up from sitting after 3+ days electrolyte fast.
Dunno the quantity of sardine Dr. Boz referred to. Hope it’s not half can a day. I may try 2~3 cans daily for 5 days….
I use my body as guinea pig 🐹 :
After 3 days of *Sardine fast* (1 can (90g drained weight) a day (with 8+ cups of electrolytes (pink salt, coffee with ghee&MCT-C8). I checked my BG+BK:
BG: 76mg/dl
BK: 2.8 mmol/L
My Dr Boz ratio: 27 < 40
It’s very doable compared with my previous 3~5days miserable attempts of water (electrolyte) fast.
Any1 knows which vid shows DBozR
Doing a "fat fast" is another possibility. I believe that fat (butter/lard/ghee) doesn't spike insulin, so I 'm going to try having my butter coffee, plus electrolytes in my water. See what it does.
@ great! hope you bring us good news.
I experimented a bit on myself as warmup for fat fast by putting half a piece (~100g) of grass fed unsalted butter into a keto soup. It was great for the first couple spoons…. Tried several days.
I still eating like 10 cans of sardine with other food last week. But not fat fast. I like to do run+walk to burn those residue carbs when I did sardine challenges.
Some minor findings:
A couple of Bulletproof espresso with MCT:C8 + ghee (to wake me up. Only take some cod fish oil when I have good mood)
A cup of electrolyte with creatine, inulin, L-Gluamine, probiotics (inulin as food for probiotics, creatine to kind of ease me out to do outdoor exercises, glutamine to sort of improve my endurance during exercise / to rapidly replenish the one-cell thick protective layer in my gut for my couch-to-10K-jog), take some B6 & rub some magnesium oil after shower if I have headache after exercises.
I keep changing my routines after being educated by various TH-cam content creators.
I heard some exercises (eg sprinting) can make the age of my heart a decade younger. The thickness of heart wall becomes thicker (more muscle?) (or thinner, I can’t remember lol). But I’m 60+ years young now. Need some way to trick my mind to motivate my ass to just go out under sun shine & sweat.
I’m still working on it.
Oh, exercise can reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s or more likely to slow it down in my case. May try to refrain myself from buying my favourite beers even when it’s half price 😂
@ZonyKay Oh, I know, fat needs to be weaned in gradually, over a number of weeks. I didn't use to like fat and butter - but creamy sauces, no problem. So perhaps make your sauces gradually richer? 😊
It sounds like you have laid out a workable plan. I have no idea what is good for your heart. So perhaps go easy there, at first?
(I'm practically bed bound with a chronic illness, so my approach to exercise is pretty basic. Focusing on the right diet, with God's help.)
So good luck with your new health year,
and if you can,
steer cleer the beer! ✨
Awesome job, as usual. Love you and your work🙏
There's a lot left out of this. I mean are you saying autophagy cures heart disease? Does it eat the fat in your arteries? If so, how long does it take? How many times do you have to do this 19 or 22 day diet/fast?
How about autophagy from intermittent fasting?
My prostate cancer came back on a lymph node about 5 years after my last radiation. Treatment on My oncologist ask me what I wanted to do I said metabolic therapy. Fortunately, she knew what that was.
I did 382 hour fast in 2 months. My p s a went from a 4 To under a one.
Braxton's, grbut, you gotta train your body. How to do? I'm a big believer in atopogy
Thank you for this video made me motivated and try help my mom. I hope if she can do this will feel better soon.
Dr Boz - would mackerel work similar to sardines if doing a fish fast? I have such a difficult time with sardines but can tolerate mackerel much better.
Yes
In a recent "Shorts" you apologized for the medical world. While I appreciated your honesty, we patients bear some of the responsibility. Partly out of being too trusting and partly just laziness, I was just GLAD to find out Metformin would help my diabetes. Then there's the legalities that doctors need to consider in our litigious society. But, thanks to the internet and programs like yours, I am now learning. However, I'm 80 y/o and not much you can do about aging - not that I'd really want to in today's world! Sorry this is so scrambled. Just trying to say THANK YOU ALL for all you are trying to do despite so many obstacles in today's world!
can you use herring instead of sardines? i'm northern German roots. herrings is our thing.
Great content as ever…
Thx Dr.Boz 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you. I am interested in autophagy for restoring normal thickness to my left ventricle wall which thickened due to prolonged high blood pressure. My cardiologist was involved in research showing that reduced nutrition to cells in the heart muscle will induce an autophagy that will rebuild the damaged cells. He said heart cells are different from other cells in the body in that they cannot replace themselves by division. He said frequently that going hungry wasn't going to kill me. He was about to give me a dietary protocol for me to follow that would restore my heart but he was killed in an accident before he could do so. Dr. Boz, can you do a video about cardiac autophagy and what dietary regime to follow? Thanks
Mmmm...Sardines. Love me some Sardines! I can do that. Have you done any videos on Lumbrokinase or Nattokinase for plaque removal? I think it is very important to clean the liver also since fatty liver has been in my family. I personally use the L-Threonine amino. TY 👍
I started eating once a day at the beginning of the pandemic (I had decreased to two meals a day from three day some years prior, but I knew that would not be enough to get the autophagy boost I needed to survive the pandemic). I had always wanted to do it cause yogis do it to live long. I was about to turn 50 at the time and had many pre existing conditions (pre diabetes, high blood pressure, scared liver, etc.). I also had a hardening of my artery around my left chest area. I knew that, if I didn't fast, I would not make get past the plague. The autophagy healed me of those pre existing conditions (including most of the eye sight issues I was experiencing due to the high sugar I had in the blood; as well as benign tumors I had on the skin that had accumulated from my time sun bathing in the Caribbean back in the day). The autophagy also tightened the 20 inches worth of extra skin I had sagging on me after loosing about a hundred fifty pounds (half my body weight) over the last several years.
Yogis also can affect their body by using meditation...tens of thousands hours of meditation. Some are so advanced that they do not need food of very little food for years. Just sayin'. Of course it does not mean that authopagy does not work. It works.
@@ZmogusJaponija It was the Yogis that inspired me to do that. It also inspired me to attend the Kumbha Mela in 2016. That helped me start my process of autophagy.
@@musamba101 all the best in your health and spiritual journey :) Our bodies (and mind) can do miracles, if we take care about them properly.
How is your heart? Are you on any medications?
My heart is fine. No meds. @@rachelcoleman4693
What should we request from are dr for blood work to measure glucose and keytones you should make video how to chart your blood work to chart or measure autophagy....
Calcification = Nanobacteria.. CNP's .. setup shop and form a biofilm shell
Exactly, check out this supplement NanobacTX. 👍
What about coffee and tea no sugar in either, during a water fast?
Tea is outstanding, as long as you do not create and insulin response, then you "should" stay in autophagy.
Would love to read the research on this!
You are smart and you get younger looking and more beautiful each time you are on vid so you practice what you preach!Many blessings young lady
She had facial laser too recently.
I'll try this for Lent this year. I typically start with a 3-4 day water fast, then I'll switch my eating habits. Thankfully I love Sardines 😊. The hardest part is quitting everything else. Caffeine, nicotine, I use the Zyn pouches and sugar. I normally have a headache for about two weeks. Then I start to feel amazing. Why I come crawling back after Lent I don't know. It's probably just not sleeping enough when work gets hectic, but still I need to learn to stay on this lifestyle perpetually not just for a month and a half out of the year. Thank you for all your great info and encouragement.
Salt helps the headaches.
I've definitely been craving salt so you are probably right. Thanks for the info.
@@EyreEver
You may have found this already, but the electrolyte salt package, LMNT is fantastic during water fasts. I prefer the unflavored
@@jimreimers4213 typically I just use sea salt and a little lemon juice, but I'll look into it. Thank you.
Hello, I have had heart problems for years here in the UK having been taken to hospital by ambulance several times in South Wales. No tests, but blood tests and ecg monitoring were done with no scans to check any arteriosclerosis, so nothing done by the nhs, Americans have the best medical doctors in the world, the UK is poor, so if you holiday here be very careful as medical emergencys will not be dealt with professionally.
There are many ( in the US anyway) online available blood tests you can have done by yourself. You collect the blood and send in time a lab.
how about if you had already heart enlargement and stroke
Would 72 hrs of Lake Trout or Smoked Salmon work? vs. Sardin's...
You optimize autophagy in a number of ways. Even if you do them, autophagy gets suspended at night if you bring light to your night. Heart disease is underperforming mitochondria, that is responsible for autophagy.
Cholesterol is supposed to reinforce inflammation damage, but not with calcium attached. Vitamin k2 carboxylates osteocalcin to make sure the calcium is left in bone and teeth.
Youve got lots to learn about mitochondria that I havent even mentioned. One thing you should have known by now is that a heart attack is in tissue with vastly underperforming mitochondria that is generating lactic acid to seize the muscle. The vascular system has ways to work around blockages with new vessels to feed heart tissue.
We consume light and night for proper wellness. That first meal should be within 30 minutes of waking at dawn to see the sunrise.
Ketones is from fat burning. You won't burn fat without being leptin sensitive. Many many are leptin resistant because of their light and night environment.
nice.
could you recommend me some good channels/resources to learn this from?
So well presented - love the SARDINES‼️‼️‼️ happy new year Doc!
What an EXCELLENT presentation!
I just have one question. Can I substitute maybe a high fat meat instead of sardines (lamb preferably, or is the fat content in lamb not healthy vs. sardines)? My problem is, I seem to be reacting to high histamine foods like beef, and yes canned foods like sardines. Even olive oil seems to be liberating histamine in my body for a severe immune reaction (bowel inflammation, etc.)
Thank you!
It's protein and fat- as long as you replicate the macro and same kind of fats - I can't see how the body would know the difference...
Sardines is omega 3
I used kidney capsules to help with that problem. And got my copper level up. Ps grass fed lamb is perfect
Continuing to eat high fat meat diet will make clogging worse. Sorry but she is not correct.
@@schoolgirl4suzukinot true. You are brainwashed from skew or is it school. Healthy Fatty food does not clog arteries. Sorry you like millions of others have been misinformed for a long time. That's a problem with a lie. The bigger the lie the more people will believe it. It's the bad fats from seed oils in the thousands of packaged foods the food companies are allowed to include in processed foods that are sitting on the shelves just waiting for you to consume and and clog arteries with bad fats among other hydrogenated oils. It's crazy.
Stay away from packaged foods. Eat low low carb especially greens and eat red meat, seafood, and other healthy fats from real food. A proper human diet . PHD. Get educated cause the evidence if you will look is everywhere. Just look at others comments on Dr Boz and Dr Berg, Dr Ken Berry, and many others.
So, "thickened cap" is hardened calcium? Please use medical words as well as ELI5 words - thanks.

..Only not for people that have Afib, even though Afib isn’t a disease. I’ve had it for over a year and I notice my symptoms gets worse when I don’t eat any carbs for 1-3 days.
Im in autophagy and keytosis a lot and yet i still got sick .i did have a lot of sugar and bread during the holidays....
Eat only fishes for 10 days. You'll be fine.
@@white-rabbit93 eat only fishes?..you mean sardines?..
Thank you Doc. Question pls...Sardines: Is there a downside/risk due to their "high heat" (blanching) in the sardine processing - esp bc Sardine fat is very heat vulnerable to change, if heat is high, due to minimal "H"-atom-dbl-bonds to "C" on the fat molecule? Also: The fact that they are put in Al cans...is there a risk w/this too?
By reducing the BOZ index to the ideal level of below 40, why is it that the keto dieters perform substandardly on a glucose-insulin tolerance test?
A mark of a well-functioning organism is that it can tolerate perturbation and then return to its equilibrium state fairly efficiently.
Ben Bikman explains this. It is not of concern. search for the first meal effect
@@hiraijo1582 Absolutely.
Dr. can Afib be reversed with Autophagy?
I take high dose Nattokinase and its doing wonders for me ,changed my life
Is the brand Arthur Andrew?
Is it pill form? And what mg do you take
@@pennywild4131 I take 60,000 FUs it's a pill form
@lpg12338 yes and I take 15 capsules in a day, 5 early morning , 5 afternoon, 5 before bed
@pennywild4131 pill form and I take 60,000 FUs daily. 15 capsules a day, each capsules 4000FUs
Well there is more than "one" heart disease. What the doc is explaining is blocked arteries + high blood pressute.
I for my part had a thrombosis and therefore heart stroke which lead to heart ishemia. A big part of the muscle is dead be ause they were not supplied with blood due to the thrombosis. My EF is only 30% I tried multiple 72+96 hours strict waterfasts with seasalt only. I hoped autophagy will spike stemmvells and it will "repair" the damaged heart cells. Nope unfortunately it didnt help. It cleared a skin fungus the first time I fasted, but heart stayed same
sardine fast ( canned) increase heavy metal loads including As levels.
You are talking about atherosclerosis, but you didn't mention calcium that might be present in arteries. Does your method make any claims about reversing the calcium score?
She is not a cardiologist and she's been talking about stuffs she doesn't specialize in. A dangerous video in the TH-cam.
@@white-rabbit93 What do you think she is saying wrong? What are your qualifications?
Take a look at NanobacTX, it is a very interesting supplement. Also, check out Dr. Darren Schmidt. Have you had a C.A.C. Score, C.I.M.T., or A.B.I. performed on yourself?
You’re brilliant Doctor 👩⚕️ ❤
WHAT ABOUT CHELATION THERAPY? THERE ARE 1800 STUDIES PROVING ITS EFFECTIVENESS. IN Europe, chelation is routinely prescribed.
Excellent video, thank you.
You recommend a sardine fast? What if the person has a history of gout? Is there an alternative?
That's a myth bout gout being caused by high fat foods. It's the processed foods like high carbs eaten with fatty foods. Bread, pasta, biscuits, flour based foods. Crackers, etc.
Is eating OMAD good for repairing arteries? I've lost 34 lbs doing so. What should maintenance look like?
Two meals a day, No Snacking! 😉
@@tonyt8805 👍👍👍. And 💯%, snacking is the enemy. No Snacking. 😍
Maintenance....just don't go back to eating the SAD diet. Standard American diet. Fast and low carb. Don't eat 95 percent of the crap in the stores. That's the best way to "maintain"
Congratulations! 👍
If you increase (Medium Chain Triglycerides)...this, as you know, increase the ketones. Therefore the Boz ratio is better, so is this perhaps another way to accelerate autophagy?
Any alternative to sardine? Thank you.
Salmon wild caught. Alaskan best.
Did I hear you correct, that eating your meal (OMAD) close to sunrise will produce higher more stable ketones? Is this your own clinical observation or is there supporting research Dr. Boz. Appreciate your response. Dr. Ginge
Yep .. slide the window toward sunRISE
@@DoctorBozSo which is it? Your own experience or you have supporting clinical evidence?
Sounds like islamic fasting
Found you late but you are gem 💎 doc. 😊
Two of my favorite supplements for this are, Endocalyx Pro and Arterosil HP. 👍
On the graphic where you show the shift to two meals per day, earlier in the day, then add sauna and exercise, I did not grasp the best time for these activities to stimulate the mitochondria. Would it be early in the day, middle, later, or very late? My guess would be after the first meal and before the trough of the ketones. It also seems to me that lowering the spikes of glucose might have a greater effect on the Dr. Boz Ratio™.
Do you another option for sardines? I cannot palate them. Do kippers in oil a close substitute?
I also don't like sardines, I'll try the kippers idea as a substitute and I'm ok with the idea of a butter fast because I love butter (unlike sardines).
Man you are all over the place since I started watching you 4 years ago. Eating your 1 meal a day in the morning now - what happened to before the sun went down? 72 hour fast now what happened to 36 or 40-45 Hours to be rather sure you are in Autography? Is this supposed to undo or minimize the high cholesterol issue living the lifestyle? One of the fascinating (and most interesting to me) things I learned from you was Autography which does a whole lot more than help reverse heart disease the number one killer in the USA. Keep up the good work. God Bless:)
I kind of said the same thing before I read your comment. Just got to that place of fasting until 2pm following a carnie meal late the day before. Now she changed her mind.
If something is working for you personally, why change?
Lot's of influencers changed the reccomendation from skip breakfast to eat only breakfast. I think their first message about gorging yourself with food at night was marketing trick not to dissapoint their audiences who usually do not have time to eat breakfast and then like to socialise and eat in the evening. But then more and more science appeared that eating late at night...sucks. Which btw was known for thousands of years in India, Buddhist cultures and monasteries, etc.
And I thought all this was about science and the truth from someone who actually cared not an "influencer" - is there anything sacred anymore? God Bless:) @@ZmogusJaponija
I think a lot of her recommendations are for optimization. You don't have to do it all to get results. What works for you is what really matters. For me, it's easier to fast in the morning than later so that's what I try to do.
Dr. Boz. Have you considered a very low-protein ketogenic diet for plaque reversal???
Consider all the “ingredients” used to make plaque. One important component is PROTEIN!
If low amounts of protein are consumed (for a period of time), the body would be forced to recycle the protein already existing within the body. Several remarkable studies show reversal of heart disease and plaque after being rescued from starvation conditions (concentration camps / prisoners of war).
Additionally, Drs. Esselstyn and Ornish have demonstrated disease reversal by utilizing their vegan, no oil , no fat diets. What do these example “diets” have in common besides demonstrating disease reversal? A deficiency of protein!
For anyone wanting to take these recommendations seriously and accelerate results, you may want to eliminate the protein ingestion (animal and plant) for a period of time (months or years?). Afterwards, a better diet could be commenced with sufficient protein for muscle synthesis and avoidance of sarcopenia (muscle loss - especially in old age).
Do pimples appear in the arteries in the same scenarios that they do on skin? I always have SEVERE acne when I eat a lot of nuts. Even if they are low carb, I never feel good when I replace high carbs for high nuts. It's like changing one condition for another. Also have low energy and am lethargic with to many nuts.
Somehow I don't have this Issue with dairy fat (butter and cheese), and TWO nuts so far: Coconut and dark chocolate.
What's up with these nuts?
You saying that arteries fill with fat sounds like something from the Ancel Keys era. Several cardiologists and other health professionals popular on TH-cam say that this does not happen e.g. inflammation causes areas in the artery where plaque accumulates to repair damage, then unstable plaque causes a clot. Which version is true?
What about people with acid reflux? You can’t eat just twice a day. Please explain.
Hi Doc. Is this protocol viable for a patient with four stents?
So what about people who work at night?
When should we eat?
If you have to eat, then try to eat your meals early in "your day" no matter the circadian rhythm.
What would you about the Whole Food Plant based Lifestyle?
Whenever I fast my blood pressure goes up please I need help because I’m on blood pressure medication and blood thinners
Are there any studies that show lowering blood sugar lowers blood pressure? I’m unaware of any
Great question. Think of it this way. Blood glucose in low to normal levels, we will say fasting blood glucose of less then 85 "may" allow your body to restore the endothelial glycocalyx, and because of close association with the endothelium, it thereby helps to support endothelial function by improving endothelial production of nitric oxide, restores endothelial permeability, and also contributes to the anti-inflammatory properties. Nitric oxide is needed to maintain a healthy "normal' blood pressure. If you are having blood pressure issues "while not on medications", then take a look at taking a good electrolyte powder, many people are deficient. I like Dr. Eric Berg's because it has a good amount of potassium, it also helped with my leg cramps at night.
Okay, how about just plain old water fasting for 5 days every month ? Would it not do the same thing?
Thanks ,doc ! Fo ,Infomation you learned and i hope benefits i and others.
Are these "pimples" in arteries of any similar to etiology of pimples on the skin? I have a proneness to acne, even as a 37 M. But I am very fit and metabolically healthy. So is it just a coincidental use of the term?
Thank you for life changing halp❤
Thanks for the information. Such as great video.
Can we use Clearasil for the pimples?
Can you explain the eating window and the earlier eating! It seems that you are saying to eat two meals early in the day and then fast until morning. Is that correct or did I misunderstand you?
That’s what she said in a video where she explained it. 🥰
Its to capatilise on your natural dawn phenonomen insulin spike. So it reduces one insulin spike for the day. Its clever thinking.....but hard to do. Its in my 'to do' box......lol
Yes eat in the morning and make use of the dawn effect then eat your next meal 4 to 6 hours later then eat nothing until the next morning .. rinse and repeat !
I eat about 8-9 am in the morning. Then I have my last meal between 2-3pm. I only have water or chamomile tea until the next morning. I’m never hungry. I eat about 625 calories per meal.
Dr. Boz is Liver Cirrhosis reversible?
I thought it was the soft calcium that gets into the blood and congeales.
Great video very informative. Thank you.
Dr. Boz, Thank you for your videos. Got a mind boggling question. Why do you think Minnesota has the lowest death rates from heart disease of any State? Also Hawaii, which runs neck and neck with Minnesota. I have been to both those States and carefully observed. I might know the answer but admit its a guess. You could almost make a video on this subject.
