Key Takeaways
- You have to stop eating all day – we operate with two energy systems, one where we burn energy from what we eat and one where we burn energy from fat.
- You cannot get to the energy system burning fat without fasting
- You need to be sensitive to the fact you become more insulin resistant in your forties and beyond
- 5:1:1 variation works with 5 days of intermittent fasting, 1 day of extended fasting and 1 day of eating
- Vary your foods through keto variations
- There are specific bacteria in the gut that break down oestrogen
- You have to become insulin sensitive to make oestrogen but you also need a healthy liver and the right bacteria in the gut to break oestrogen down so that it can enter the body
- Detoxing makes the biggest difference to your hormones.
- You need to stop toxifying yourself, review what you put on your skin, what’s in your environment and what you are putting into your body
- You can stimulate autophagy so the cells are detoxing themselves
- Infertility, challenging menopause and compromised immune systems are all toxic issues
- A toxic-free environment must be a priority
- Exercise variation is the key to successful training over forty.
- The goal is to build a fasting lifestyle that can successfully make a difference and be maintained.
