Mindsip insights from this episode:
Biohack stress by grounding for 20 minutes daily
You can biohack stress by standing barefoot on grass or earth for 20 minutes in the morning, which can calm electrical stress in the body.
Trigger new mitochondria with five-minute REHIT workout
You can trigger the creation of new mitochondria with a five-minute REHIT workout, which involves two 20-second all-out sprints on an exercise bike.
Reduce cortisol to enhance autophagy and protect DNA
High cortisol from chronic stress directly blocks autophagy, stops your body from fixing mitochondria, and even shortens the telomeres on your DNA.
Combine fasting with REHIT for optimal results
To maximize results, combine fasting with a REHIT workout to signal your body to first clean up old junk via autophagy and then build new mitochondria.
Address chronic stress to enhance longevity efforts
A hidden factor of chronic stress can silently override all your hard work in diet and exercise by keeping your body in a breakdown mode that prevents repair.
Choose masa chips fried in tallow for a healthier snack
Masa chips are a healthier snack because they are fried in beef tallow instead of inflammatory seed oils and use nixtamalized corn, which removes mycotoxins.
Implement 5:2 method to combat fatigue and aging
For dealing with extreme fatigue or advanced aging, try the 5:2 method where you eat normally for five days and restrict calories to 500-600 for two days.
Prioritize deep, uninterrupted sleep for optimal autophagy
Most deep autophagy, your body's cellular cleaning process, happens not when you are awake or exercising but during deep, non-fragmented sleep.
