Autophagy is a word we’ve been hearing a lot recently, and I have a strong feeling that this is just the beginning. On a recent trip to Tokyo I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, the very man who introduced autophagy to the world and won a Nobel Prize doing so in 2016! (You can find that interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=2O_r-d-HrjA&t=760s )
Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi spoke honestly and humbly about our limited understanding of the full potential autophagy has, claiming he believes we only understand about 30% of what it can actually do.
That is an exciting prospect to consider, especially having come across some remarkable findings. Having the opportunity to talk to various individuals who are on the cutting edge is of course key in learning more and exploring this science. I find it extremely enlightening to learn from those who’ve grasped an understanding of what it can do for our health. Studying autophagy and its benefits for us is nothing short of a miracle, and something I want to share with all of you.
In today’s video, taken from our 9-part docuseries “The Real Skinny on Fat,” I talk to Dr. William Dunn, PhD, a professor of anatomy and cell biology at the University of Florida and one of the most respected authorities on autophagy. He has been studying the process for more than thirty years. His insight is truly fascinating and worth watching to begin to understand the science and benefits of autophagy and how you can activate it.
