In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth talks about Mitochondria and Intermittent Fasting. He answers the question of how intermittent fasting relates to our mitochondria. He discusses the importance of intermittent fasting and why we should include it in our lifestyle.

The Powerhouse of the Cell

[0:34]

A person has anywhere between 500 and 2000 mitochondria in each individual cell. This is why mitochondria are very critical because not only is it for energy production, but it's also for cell communication.

A Traditional Father

[1:00]

Dr. Hugh pursued a healthcare professional because his father died of medical errors. His father died a premature death at 69 years old, weighing 420 pounds and on 14 medications. His father came from a traditional family where dads always know everything, and the sun is always below them. His father taught him great ethics, and he loved his father dearly, but unfortunately, he died in the system.

Dr. Huge

[1:37]

When Dr. Hugh was 14 years old, he lost 80 pounds. His nickname was "Huge," derived from his first name Hugh. He then decided to change his life, and within six months, he lost 80 pounds.

Intermittent Fasting

[2:23]

Humans are doing intermittent fasting for thousands of years because we are forced to do it. Our bodies are accustomed to intermittent fasting, and our bodies love doing it because it kills our weak mitochondria.

[3:02]

When we do intermittent fasting, the weak mitochondria, which maybe have poor cell membranes, poor DNA function, or are not working on all eight cylinders, are recognized by the body, and they just die.

[3:39]

Once the weak mitochondria die, a process called Autophagy occurs, and the proteins and resources in those dead mitochondria are then consumed by healthy mitochondria. The weak ones are consuming and using up resources, but the energy it's producing is not very good quality.

[4:10]

Let's put more faith in our body's healing ability than intelligence within our body. This is an intelligent mechanism where God designed us with an incredible healing mechanism very intelligent. No medicine man will ever be able to know the intelligence in our body. When we're fasting, that's when these weak mitochondria come to the forefront.

The 80's Craze

[5:15]

The 80s craze was low fat. It was replaced with sugar, but at the end of the day, fat makes everything taste good. When the fat was eliminated, it was replaced with sugar on all the food there was.

What happens when you consume sugary products is your glucose goes up, and a hormone called insulin goes up, and those bathe your cells in inflammation.

6 Small Meals per Day

Even in the 2000s, they tell you that fats are going to kill you, but in reality, fat does not kill you. Healthy fats are what you need. Bad fats l
