    Master Phil in Your Corner Episode 145: The Fountain of Youth

    I haven’t done a solo podcast in a while. Strength and age- resistance training - which leads me to women and strength. Resistancetraining Trump’s aerobics.   Which brings me to the BBM Kettlebell methodology - something I always knew but I nowhave the biometrics to prove it. Aerobicand Anaerobic.   Almost Identical – slightly more Anaerobic than Aerobic and my boxing/kickboxing workouts are just the opposite.     The New Year is upon us. I’m not a big “New Year’s Resolution” type of guy. But this past year was enlightening for many reasons.   My goal is to help others to Live Better Longer. I have had the great fortune of listening to and learning from others. My studies and experiences have helpedme attain success at what I love doing most. Sharing my experiences and knowledge with others is my way of paying it forward. So, if you’re interested in learning what I gained from this year, please keep listening.   We need to look at the aspects of our life- business/ financial, family/home and personal relationships, state of our fitness and health.   Intermittent fasting: daily - autophagy - 12-17 hours, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours.   Fasting stages progress from using food energy (0-4 hrs) to breaking down stored sugar(glycogen) for fuel (4-12 hrs), then burning fat (12-24+ hrs) as glucosedepletes, leading into ketosis (24+ hrs) where the liver produces ketones forenergy, with deeper benefits like cellular cleanup (autophagy) emerging after24-48+ hours, shifting your body from sugar-burning to fat-burning for fuel. Fasting Stages by Hour ●    0-4 Hours (Fed State): Your body digests food,uses glucose for immediate energy, releases insulin, and stores excess asglycogen. ●    4-12 Hours (Glycogen Depletion): Insulin drops, and yourbody starts breaking down stored glycogen (sugar) for energy. ●    12-16 Hours (Fat Burning Begins): Glycogen is low,prompting the body to release stored fat (lipolysis) for fuel, entering earlyfat-burning mode. ●    16-24 Hours (Entering Ketosis): The body significantlyramps up fat burning, producing ketones as an alternative fuel, especially forthe brain. ●    24-48+ Hours (Ketosis & Autophagy): Full ketosis isestablished, and the body burns fat exclusively; autophagy (cellular cleanup)begins to increase. ●    48-72+ Hours (Deep Fasting): Deeper benefits likeenhanced autophagy, significant growth hormone increases, and potential immunesystem regeneration may occur. Key Metabolic Shifts ●    Insulin Drops: Blood sugar levels fall, signaling the body to stop storing fatand start releasing it. ●      ●    Glycogenolysis: Breakdown of stored sugar in the liver and muscles. ●      ●    Lipolysis: Breakdown of fat into fatty acids. ●      ●    Ketogenesis: The liver converts fatty acids into ketones for energy. ●      ●    Autophagy: Cellular repair and recycling process that gets activatedduring fasting. Biometrics:the BodyBell Method- Anerobic and Aerobic benefits almost equal- throw inmobility and the restorative benefits- and it’s no wonder that the system isapproved by the state government for DPT’s and chiropractors.   Humeand InBody- biological age of 28.   Theold saying- Die young and leave a good looking corpse. I say Die old and leavea good looking corpse! #masterphilinyourcorner#masterphil #philross #fitness #selfdefense #fighting #kettlebells#kettlebellworkshop #kettlebellking #bodybellmethod #bodybell #strength#strengthandconditioning #personaltrainer #knifefighting #mma #bjj #martialarts#boxing #kickboxing #podcast #professor #weightlifting #training#survivalstrong #AAAI #SCW #FITFIXNOW #womenwork #strengthforwomen #avocado#Zingaloo #bread
