In this podcast, I’m going to talk about why you want to always fast during an infection. 

Fasting is a powerful tool—it delays aging, and it can even extend your lifespan. It also has powerful immune system effects. 

When you get sick, you often lose your appetite. This is your body’s natural way to boost your immunity.

Ketones have profound protective properties, including antimicrobial effects. 

When you fast, you also increase the survival of your T-cells and B-cells. T-cells run the immune system, kill microbes, and reduce inflammation. B-cells have to do with making antibodies, which have a “memory” to better fight off future infections. 

T-helper cells are also boosted when you fast. These cells coordinate all other immune actions—like the general of the army. 

If you fast long enough, you induce autophagy. Autophagy is when your body starts to clean up old, damaged cells and recycles them. Autophagy also helps control viral infections, decrease inflammation, and presenting antigens. 

A 3-day fast can have profound effects on your immune system. You will trigger the stem cells that regenerate the immune system. 

Continue taking vitamins and minerals while you fast—especially vitamin D. You can also take oregano oil, garlic, and olive leaf extract to boost your immunity.
