As frustrating as it is, there's actually a solution to avoid it & achieve long-term weight loss in the most effective way by optimizing your gut health & immune system. 
Contrary to popular belief, the immune system carries more responsibility than you assume when it comes to shredding fat & achieving real lasting health which we will dive deeper into on today's episode, "The Immunity Code."

Key takeaways
You can activate the vagus nerve at home without any technology

It's very normal during the day to switch between the fight-or-flight response & rest-and-digest mode. It's impossible for you to always be in the parasympathetic nervous system

Key takeaways
FMD is for people who want to experience better effects from their fast
You can enhance your fast by consuming cysteine & glycerol
our blood glucose naturally fluctuates throughout the day
The best way to fast is the one you can actually complete
Often, the diet that gets you healthy is not the same diet that will keep you healthy
If you're doing a fasting mimicking diet for 5 days, the body becomes efficient at using proteins that are less useful or slightly damaged before using more functional protein structures.
When you lower the calories during a fast, the macronutrient ratio doesn’t appear to be very important

Key takeaways
You’ll never figure out a health-based process by focusing on disease
Anything that compromises your adaptability takes away energy. Anything that takes away energy moves you away from optimal function
The person is physical, but they're also a mental, emotional & spiritual being
The vitality of living tissue, the amount of light it's able to express & exude, the structure of the water in the cells in the body is ultimately what determines if someone's healthy or not
People can sit down and say they’re fine but don't realize they're not because chaos & stress is normal to them, so it's not a healthy state of regulation
5% of our realities, maybe more for some people, maybe less for others, is conscious
Energy + adaptability equals optimal function
The most important organ body system is the immune system
Health is not guaranteed unless you understand how to take the physical, the mental, the emotional, & the spiritual aspects of self & find harmony so all of them can achieve some sort of subjective balance

Without phosphatidylcholine, we can't make bile or detoxify
Detox and sleep are energy-intensive; many can't heal due to energy deficits
Glutathione is a strong antiviral and immune modulator
