Fix visceral fat & double autophagy with fasting expert, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas. Head to https://betterhelp.com/primalpodcast to get 10% off your first month of therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp. Because no one should have to go through anything alone. BetterHelp is here, With You.
Join us as cardiologist Dr. Pradip Jamnadas (MD) explains the link between chronic inflammation and visceral fat. In this episode, we explore how high insulin levels act as a metabolic brake, preventing fat oxidation and cellular renewal. Dr. Jamnadas shares his vast cardiovascular expertise to explain the science of cellular autophagy and why prolonged fasting is a clinical powerhouse for cellular repair. By shifting the focus from calories to hormonal optimization, this episode offers a masterclass in preventative medicine. This episode is essential for anyone interested in the science of fasting, both intermittent fasting and the magic of the 36-hour fast, and how it can improve metabolic flexibility.
In This Episode, We Reveal:
* The Dangers of Visceral Fat: A clinical review of why ectopic fat storage in the abdominal cavity is the primary driver of systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease.
* The Insulin-Adipose Connection: Understanding the hormonal lock that prevents the mobilization of stored energy and how fasting restores insulin sensitivity.
* Autophagy & Cellular Maintenance: A scientific breakdown of the body’s innate repair mechanism and the specific fasting durations required to trigger protein recycling.
* The Starvation Myth vs. Clinical Fasting: Differentiating between nutrient deprivation and the controlled, physiological state of metabolic switching.
* Electrolytes & Metabolic Support: Why sodium, magnesium, and potassium are non-negotiable for maintaining cardiovascular stability during extended fasting windows.
* Worst foods: Identifying the healthy processed foods that trigger metabolic dysfunction and the four nutrient-dense pillars of health.
