Manageability of Chronic Diseases
- Common conditions like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are often deemed unmanageable by traditional medicine, leading to lifelong medication.
- Dr. Goldhamer argues that these conditions are rooted in dietary excess and can be reversible through fasting and lifestyle changes.
The Pleasure Trap
- Humans are biologically predisposed to short-term pleasure-seeking behaviors like overeating, driven by dopamine rewards.
- This tendency, once advantageous for survival, has become a "pleasure trap" in our modern environment of food abundance and processed foods.
Daily Intermittent Fasting
- Practice intermittent fasting daily for 12-16 hours, aligning with natural sleep patterns.
- Extended fasting beyond this requires medical supervision to ensure safety and address potential complications.
