Intermittent fasting supports pro-antioxidant pathways, autophagy, stem cell activity, BDNF, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial biogenesis.

“increased ketones beta hydroxybutyrate that i mentioned in acetoacetate uh increasing mitochondrial biogenesis or they say increasing mitochondria stress resistance increased antioxidant defenses so that's going to be things like the ampk pathway the nrf2 pathway i think that's what they're referencing here”

“up regulating these pro antioxidant pathways like the npk pathway the nrf2 pathway supporting autophagy pathways supporting stem cell activity uh improving bdnf brain derived neurotropic factors center you know looking at neuroplasticity in the brain's ability to to regenerate and become more resilient improving mitochondrial biogenesis actually making more resilient mitochondria”

“increased autophagy increased dna repair decreased insulin decreased mtor and decreased protein synthesis”
