Understanding Magnesium's Importance and Fasting Impacts on Muscle Mass

Today, I am blessed to have Mike Mutzel here with me. Mike has a B.S. in Biology from Western Washington University and an M.S. in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and is a graduate of the Institute for Functional Medicine’s (IFM) Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP). Mike regularly conducts workshops for health care practitioners, teaching leading-edge science in a concise format that can be utilized by progressive clinicians for the prevention of chronic disease.

In this episode, Mike emphasizes walking as an essential part of daily life, regardless of diet or fasting regimen. He highlights studies showing that aiming for around 9,000 steps a day can significantly benefit overall health, with 12,000 steps daily helping to prevent various diseases. For those specifically looking to lose belly fat, Mike suggests breaking up walks into "exercise snacks," such as three or four sessions of 2,500 to 3,000 steps spread throughout the day.

Tune in as Mike emphasizes exercise's significant role in enhancing fasting's benefits, particularly regarding autophagy. In this process, the body cleanses damaged cells and regenerates new ones. He discusses a study that showed physically fit individuals initiated autophagy markers much earlier in fasting than sedentary individuals.
