Episode notes

Georgie: I'd like to talk a little bit about your perspective on fasting, potential downsides of fasting. Then maybe we can segue into a quick conversation about autophagy. Georgie: The more I look into this, it's much more complicated than it's made out to be in the general public. When you don't eat, it's like your body is sweeping the floor, right, Georgie? And I think there's more to the story.

This week, Paul has Georgi Dinkov back on the podcast for the third time to cover a plethora of topics: the benefits versus risks of carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, the root causes of diabetes and cancer, and so much more.
