Chaperone-mediated autophagy kicks in on day two or three of fasting and removes deep proteins.

“But a good friend of mine Ana Maria Cuervo at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discovered a deep cleanse called the chaperone-mediated autophagy which kicks in day two, day three, which really gets rid of the deep proteins.”

“But these long extended periods are doing a real deep cleanse on the body and turning on that autophagy, that process of recycling proteins very deeply. Especially, once you get beyond the three-day mark, when your metabolism switches into what's called chaperone-mediated autophagy, the deep cleanse.”

“But autophagy actually is a function also or a result also of retinae. - It is. There's Ana Maria Cuervo down at Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a world leader, probably the world leader in understanding autophagy, the recycling of old proteins in the cell. There's shallow autophagy when you skip meals, there's deep cleansing, what's called chaperone-mediated autophagy, which is after three days of fasting”
