Welcome back to another insightful episode of me&my health up. I'm your host, Anthony Hartcher. I'm a clinical nutritionist and lifestyle medicine specialist. The purpose of this podcast is to enhance and enlighten your well-being. And today, I have the privilege of doing that for you. And we're going to be talking about how to hack intermittent fasting. Yes, hacks are all the rage, everyone wants to hack their longevity, hence why they're doing intermittent fasting. And now I'm sharing some hacks with you on how to hack intermittent fasting. So let me define intermittent fasting for those that haven't seen the prior episode that I did on intermittent fasting. I've actually done a couple of prior episodes. But if you want to get up to speed quickly, intermittent fasting is essentially pulsing fasting. So it's doing a fast and then going back to regular eating, doing a fast going back to regular eating, that's intermittent fasting, what people associate with intermittent fasting is time-restrictive feeding. So the time restrictive feeding is the common one is the most popular one, it's the trendy one, it's the fad one at the moment. And that's the 16 and 8. But that's really defined as time-restricted feeding, because you're only eating within a certain time window. And the rest is that you're resting your digestive system, you're not loading it up with food. So that's what intermittent fasting is, is just pulsing fasting. And it's a really good way to do anything with the human body. Because in terms of how we work we work best with pulsing, we don't work best with continuous approach to something, what we like is the variation. And that's how our body is designed to work with variation. Because if you think about our surroundings, they're constantly varying, they're not constant, they're never a constant. And so having a consistent diet is very much not that sort of way in which the body is going to ultimately respond well to. So what you'll find is, when you start intermittent fasting or time restricted feeding, you'll get an initial benefit, you'll you'll see some gains, and you think, Oh, this is worth continuing. But then the gains will plateau. And this is why the pulsing effect can be really helpful is to break the plateau is to allow the body to get stressed, and then find a new setpoint. And that's how we can continue to remain on our trajectory towards our optimal body weight. So pulsing is what I suggest pulsing when you're like with intermittent fasting is the best way. So sort of going from this restricted eating or restricted time windows of eating, to then going back to regular and allowing the body for that adjustment and finding itself again, and you can just shake it a bit, nudge it a bit, and then it will start to adjust them accordingly. And then you'll find that you'll get new results. And so I find this pulsing effect is a really good way of doing it as opposed to continuously doing it. Because your body gets used to it, it adapts to it. And it adapts in a way that it finds its setpoint. And it's happy, it's not going to do anything more for you. But if you really want it to nudge it to another level, then you need to pulse it or change it up mix it up in order to get past that setpoint in order to break that setpoint. So I really suggest you pulse it in terms of varying it up. Don't keep it consistent. So even your time-restricted feeding windows. So if you're doing 16 and 8, it doesn't have to be every day 16 and 8, religiously, you don't need to do that you can do 14, you can do 14 and 10, for example. So a 14-hour fast and a 10-hour eating window versus the 16 and 8, which is a 16-hour fast 8-hour eating window. So you can only eat within the 8-hour eating window when you're doing a 14 and 10, you only eat within the 10-hour eating window. And so if you vary this anywhere between 12 and 12 and 16 and 8, you'll get results. And it's just sort of pulsing that and finding that sort of what's working for you and then mixing it up again, throwing in a variable, shocking the body. So we really want to not get really complacent because when we do with our health, our body just finds a nice setpoint. Mind you, if you're happy with that setpoint then just continue doing what you're doing, right? If you're not happy with that setpoint and you want to take it to another level then you've got to mix something up, you've got to add in another variable. So I'm going to share other ways in which you can further work with this and make it easier to not give in in that window that you're not supposed to eat within, so, because often, you might get cravings within that window, and you're thinking, Oh, I'm really hungry, and you can't get your mind off the food and the foods becoming more and more tempting. And then you just give in and you think, Ah, I'm a failure, but you're not, it's, it's just feedback that you need to change things around to help you to support you so that you don't get those hunger signals. And that really requires you eating foods that are going to tie you over for longer. So it's really like, so low GI, low GI sort of foods, which is really fibrous foods, like high fiber content that will take longer or spend longer in your digestive tract. And that's essentially how these drugs work around helping people lose weight is that they slow down the rate of movement within the digestive tract. So the body just is sending signals back to the brain saying, Yeah, you're satisfied, there's enough down there. And, and so you could do this with fiber. So you don't need to take the drug, you can essentially do this with increasing your fiber intake. So low GI is high fiber content. So we certainly want to be increasing our fiber content when we're eating, also our fat content. So fat, it gives us great satiation. So we feel really satisfied with a high-fat content meal. So a high-fat content meal will take you for longer. And same with protein, protein takes longer to digest. So protein, fat, and fiber are your friends in terms of the content of food you want to eat to sustain you for longer periods without feeling hungry. Now, what might get in the way of that is blue light, artificial blue light, non-native EMFs, which come from working indoors. So these non-native EMFs are confusing the body they're sending signals to the body, like if you're this is where my clients typically tell me they get really hungry is like they say, Well, I've had dinner 7 pm, I've had dinner. And now I'm going to fast to 11 am the next day, right? They've finished eating at 7 pm, they're going to fast 16 hours to 11 am the next day, but they sit down watch the television, get lots of exposure to these non-native EMFs, these blue lights that's hitting them, and it's telling their body that it's the middle of the day, it's saying, Hey, buddy, it's the middle of the day because there's lots of blue light coming in your photoreceptors in your retina. And that these signals are then communicating to other functions within the body to say, it's the middle of the day. What do we do during the middle of the day? Well, during the middle of the day, we need to get gather food, we need to get food like this is our primitive wiring. And so our body is then it like releasing cortisol, for example, manufacturing cortisol. And in actual fact, at night, we want cortisol to drop down because cortisol results in wakefulness, it results in go get ya, you know, I'm going to go get that goal, I'm going to get that prey, I'm going to run away from that predator. That's what cortisol does for us. The other thing it also sends a signal to our body is, let's increase insulin, increase insulin, because we're going to be eating during the day. And insulin is required to take the energy into cells. And so your body's secreting insulin, it's secreting cortisol, it's getting ready to eat, essentially, to get you through the day. But it's nighttime, and you're thinking, I just want to relax. And I want to maintain my fasting window, but I feel hungry. And it's because of the blue light. So what I suggest you do in the evening is really dim down your lighting, if you can replace your LEDs with incandescent light bulbs, because the incandescent light bulbs have a greater light spectrum and they have some of the infrared. And the infrared really works well for us in terms of winding us down in the evening. Because essentially, as the sun setting, we're getting less blue light, right and more sort of the red-orange light, and we're still getting the infrared light. So the infrared light is really good for our cellular rejuvenation and helping our body to repair and rebuild. And so we certainly we want that to happen, you know, during the nighttime so and it's going to help initiate like with lower light, less blue light in our photoreceptors going into our photoreceptors of our retina. What it does is tell the body to start doing nighttime things and the body then starts to secrete melatonin and so melatonin is sent out by the pineal gland and it goes out to the cells of the body and it initiates those cells to start going into night mode, like sometimes our phone will go into night mode. And I actually suggest you put your phone on to night mode because by putting on to night mode, it silences the phone and you don't get disturbed from it. And it sort of shuts off the screen, it just goes into a dark screen. So put your phone on to night mode, like your cells are going into night mode when they see darkness. So we want our cells seeing darkness through less light exposure and less blue light in particular. And that way our body will start doing nighttime functions, nighttime functions is to allow cortisol to drop, allow melatonin to increase. And with melatonin increasing, we start to feel sedated, we start to feel tired. And that will enable us to have a good night's sleep and we won't get as hungry in the evening. It's that blue light exposure in the evening, coupled with could be boredom, or could be your inability to wind down from the day. So the inability to wind down from the day, you've got elevated cortisol and it might not be coming from the blue light, you might have a dark room, but you're you haven't wound down, you're all wounded up, you're all annoyed with that colleague at work or you're frustrated that the project just didn't meet its deadline. And you're worried about the consequences of the project not meeting the deadline and the repercussions of that. So what we want to be able to do in the evening is have a practice where we're dimming the lights plus doing something to calm the nervous system. So this is where we want to enable relaxing music to you. So what relaxes you, play that music in the evening, dim the lights, play that music. What else do you find relaxing? Is it a breathing exercise? Is it a meditation experience? Is it some stretching? Is it like so for me I have a a shower, sometimes, probably in the summer, I don't shower as much because I go for an ocean swim in the afternoon. But in the winter, you might want to shower and have a hot shower because that will help with sleep. It will also warm up the muscles then you can stretch the muscles. And so this is a really good evening routine. In essence, you're telling the muscles that it's time to relax, you don't need to be tense anymore. When the muscles relax, they're telling the brain that everything's okay. You're not trying to get away from a tiger. So it calms the mind by relaxing the muscles. So do some rolling foam rollers get on the foam roller, roll out on the foam roller, stretch the muscles, play that music, nice dark environment, you'll find your body winding down, you'll find the cortisol dropping, you'll find the melatonin increasing, and with that nice harmony, harmonious balance happening between those two hormones, what you'll find is that you won't get the hunger sensations. The other one I mentioned was boredom. So if you're bored in the evening, our, we have this intrinsic drive to have meaning to live a purposeful life. And if we're feeling that we we aren't satisfying that meaningful life or having that purpose, and we de-purpose ourselves, we then our dopamine will start to drop, and that's driving us to find purpose to get up and go and likes us then we want dopamine, right? We want to seek dopamine when it's dropping. And so what will happen in the evening as your dopamine drops. Now what typically happens is we want to pick up our dopamine and what we'll go for is sweet things, right? We so you know, so those sweet, high calorific, high GI just picks us up, and it allows that dopamine rush to come back. But the thing is, then it drops off again, then we then we need more to pick us up. So in order to not allow that dopamine to drop in the evening, what you might want to do rather than just be bored and watch TV, do something that's meaningful to you, something that you derive meaning from, something of value to you. So for me, it's I read books in areas that I love reading, like so I you know, I explore science and I dig deeper into science in the evening. And it keeps me on purpose. And my dopamine is not dropping. And it's it's not too stimulating. I don't need blue lights, I have minimal lighting and the lighting is not all around me, it's on the page that I'm reading. So I'm not taking up too much light into my photoreceptors, not stimulating that release of cortisol or insulin that I mentioned earlier. So reading material that is really gives you purpose that you're really interested in or reading a novel. It could be a novel that you really just sort of you escape, you go into another world, it relaxes your body, your nervous system calms down. And you they like so that will allow you to wind down as opposed to what we don't want is that over stimulus around, you know, if we're continually doing work continually looking at blue screens, we're continually stimulating the mind and that and it's like having our phone. If it's not on night mode, we're constantly getting messages come through and it's stimulus and alarm goes off and our brain lights up. And it's all what's that message, ah, surprise, surprise, you know, this is going to be a great dopamine hit, is it this boy that I've been chasing that he's finally texting me back? Or is that the girl that I've been chasing finally text me back? Oh, it could be that message I better check it out. And so this sort of anticipation, this, you know, and this is what dopamine rises in the anticipation of something that you want, right? So it actually is higher than you know, when you open the text then the dopamine drops, right? So it's that anticipation, it's like the lead-up to Christmas as a kid or lead-up to a birthday as a kid, the dopamine surging in the lead-up and then it drops off. And hence why sometimes we feel that it was more exciting in the lead-up as opposed to in the opening or the revealing of what it is because we anticipate something much greater. We sort of live in that fantasy. Well, it's what drives us, ultimately, it's meant it's hardwired within us to do that so that we actually get that prey. So we really excited about getting the prey, and then it doesn't taste as good, it's a bit tough, you know, it's a bit wild, it's a bit lean, so anyway, I'm going a bit off track here. So doing something meaningful, purposeful to you in the evening, it could be having a conversation with your partner, if that's of really high value to you. And that really gives you meaning and purpose and you feel connected and, and so that won't then result in this dopamine drop, where you think, oh, I need sugar, I need chocolate, I need something to sweet to lift my spirits. If you do something meaningful, then you won't have that drop. So that can be really helpful in the evening in order to make sure you sustain that fast from when you stop eating in the evening because I have a lot of clients that tell me I keep getting hungry. The other hack that I share with my clients is after the meal, because we're wired to once we start eating, we're wired to keep eating just to if there's food, eat as much as you can, because you don't know when the next bit of food will be available, right? So we are a bit hardwired to want more of what we've just had. And so that's natural. So don't think that, ah, I'm a second person, I'm a third person, I'm a fourth person, there's something wrong with me. That's how we're hardwired. So what you want to do is have a smaller plate, eat that. And then once you finish eating that, put your plate away, some people brush their teeth. And then what's really helpful is stepping outside. So when we get outside, this is really good for the body because we're essentially getting outdoors, we're away from the non-native EMFs. And our body can harmonise our body can get into sync and think, Okay, there's food there, I should digest that. And you're breathing fresh air you're out in nature, it's time to, you know, the nervous system can relax, it's not being exposed or bombarded by non-native EMFs such as from phones, from televisions, Wi-Fi, and all these sorts of things. It's not getting smashed from LED lights. And so it's really helpful to get outside and outside, obviously, it's natural lighting. And so they've got the sun setting, your eyes are picking up the sun dropping, there's less intensity in the sun it picks that up, it then starts to tell the body to do nighttime functions. And so the body then gets into a nighttime routine. The thing that's really good about getting outside is that we can also get some additional steps. So by walking around the block, we get some additional steps in the day. So and I don't want you to do vigorous walking in the evening after dinner, I want you to do really low intensity, because if we start to elevate our heart rate, then we delay the ability for us to fall asleep. So we want to do low intensity exercise in the evening, walk with your partner, have a chat, chat about your day, unwind, you know walk around some trees, observe some birds, observe nature, start connecting to the present. And you know you can like it is good to unwind your day by talking through it. So even if you aren't with your partner, if you're by yourself, you want to just sort of reflect on your day. What went well what didn't go so well. How can you improve those things that didn't go so well. What do you want to focus? What what are your priorities for tomorrow. So this is sort of allowing the brain to close files. It's really important. We call it the Zeigarnik effect of closing things, putting closure to things because Zeigarnik found, he was a Russian psychologist, he found in his experimentation, that in order to remember things, we want to keep files open because they just keep ruminating in our brain. And so what we want to do is the reverse of what he found, we actually want to close the folders of our brain put closure to events put closure to work, so that we can then then allow us to just really get very present and allow us to just I guess, unwind into the evening. And when we close those files, we don't have things like my To Do Lists constantly circulating around, that will keep you awake, it will keep that arousal or keep that stimulus going. If we're constantly thinking of what we didn't do, and what didn't go quite so well, we need to reflect on that, close that, move on, and allow the new day new you every day. So I just did a previous recording, on celebrating each day, every day, as opposed to anniversaries, birthdays, and all those sorts of things. Because in essence, we should celebrate every day of life. So that's another podcast recording that was prior to this one, you can listen to that one, it was a really good one in terms of celebrating each day, it's a new day, it's a new you, it's a new chance for you to transform and evolve as you and the best version of you. So do that reflection that walking around the block, calming down, getting extra steps. And when we're out in nature, we are actually getting, I guess, we're also getting energy from nature. And so we need less energy from food. And this leads into my next part of the discussion is only a third of our energy requirements come from food 1/3. And you're probably thinking, Oh, what the hell is that other two thirds. And that's what I'll share with you now. 1/3 comes from food. Now what's happening in today's world, because we live indoors under artificial lights, and we're not moving as much. And we're just stationary. We require or were seeking more energy from food because we're not getting connected to the other sources of energy which our body can get can energise from, right? So we also get energy from grounding with the earth. So this is our bare feet on the ground, or us being in nature. So us being like walking in nature walking in the green space, they call it say walking through the forest, forest bathing, or it could be blue, blue space, or Blue Room. And that's getting into natural body waters, such as lakes and rivers, oceans, we get energy from being in these spaces, so do more green spaces, more blue spaces whilst you're fasting. And you'll find that you remain energised and won't have that propensity to just be constantly hungry, you will satisfy your your energy needs through green and blue bathing. So that's walking bare feet in the on the ground on the beach, or walking barefoot on the ground in the park, getting exposure to light, natural light. And what that does, is that energises us in other ways other than eating food, right? So that's the two-thirds is grounding magnetism was what we refer to it as, bare feet on the ground on planet Earth, and also getting natural sunlight. So natural sunlight, bare feet on the ground, grounded, sunlight is the two-thirds of energy that we can utilise. And we'd require less of the food source. So during your fast, what you want to do is do more green room and blue room exposure increase it find ways to do that. So it might require doing a walk and talk with a friend rather than sitting in a cafe under blue lights and just stationary. We also generate current or electricity when we move our muscles. So the Piezoelectric and we Yeah, so the more we move, the more energy we create as well. We generate electricity. So it's like if you can do a walk and talk meeting outdoors in natural light, particularly in nature, then you're having a double triple effect on your body in terms of health, good health, compounding. And this is all going to help with your longevity. So it's really important that we look at other ways to energise our body other than eating food. And that requires being outdoors more often more frequent. So how can you the question I'm going to ask you is how can you spend more time outdoors in nature, or in that blue room, which is those natural water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans? How can you spend more time in that space or in the green space, because then you will require less of your energy needs from food, or you'll keep your energy requirements from food to a third, and not it not being two-thirds, or three-thirds, because you're not getting out, you're not moving your body and not in green spaces, and you're not in blue spaces. So all your energy comes from food. And because you're not outdoors, your body's not in the circadian rhythm. It's not in the natural cycle, and it's confused. And so it's producing too much insulin from the blue light, which is pushing all your energy from food into fat stores. This is part of the reason why we're getting so fat as a society, because we're indoors, not moving our bodies requiring too much energy from food, which our body is then storing, because of the insulin resistance we're creating because of the blue light exposure. So I work all day without any light, I have natural light, I'm fortunate I have natural light coming in. Yes, I'm indoors. But I step out regularly during the day to get my outdoor exposure, I face natural light as much as possible. But we do lose some of the light spectrum through the window. So I step outside to eat my food to eat lunch. And when you're eating outside, eating in green spaces, outdoor spaces, you'll be satisfied quicker, and you're less likely to want to scavenge for more food. So when you can eat outside, enjoy time in nature in between meetings, step outside, go for a walk, unwind, reflect, allow that reflection time, it's in the pause, it's in the space, that we actually find creative solutions to problems. So allow more space in your day, don't crowd your day with activity, because what you'll do is just keep driving that sympathetic nervous system, keep pushing, pushing, pushing, elevating cortisol. And what we do when we're in that fight or flight mode, or that busy busy mode, we we really just come up with solutions that we know that work, but they might not be the most efficient or most productive way of solving that problem. We need to create space in order to access new neural pathways. When we're in our fight-flight mode, we're in black-and-white mode, we're very much wanting to force solutions. And we don't light up innovative pathways, we're not accessing these neurons that could give us the ultimate solution, we just fire the neurons and hardwired firing to the neurons that we know that will get us an outcome quickly. It's that short-term gratification. And so and the more we fire those neurons and wire those links, the more we keep doing those habits, and then they become habits and we just keep solving the problem the same way and then expecting a different outcome or expecting a better outcome. But we keep doing the same thing. And that's really the definition of insanity. So create some space in your day. So that you can reflect better manage that cortisol level. Be outside when you're reflecting allow your body to get in sync with the night-day cycle and what portion of the day it is so the body knows what to do at that portion of the day, or at that time of the day. So, in essence, what I'm saying in terms of how to hack this intermittent fasting, this fasting period that you're wanting to maintain, it really is doing things of priority, things of importance to you, things of value to you. When you're doing lower-value items, you'll be bored and you'll seek meaning you'll you'll do you'll feel unfulfilled and your dopamine will drop and then you'll go for what you know that lifts your dopamine which is typically sweet, sugar, fat or those cakes and biscuits, lollies just to get that pick up in dopamine but you don't need that pick up if you are continually doing things and living by priority, like doing things of value living by priority, you won't have those rules, huge dopamine drops and feeling de-purpose and unfulfilled. So do things all the time that are fulfilling to you that are high value to you, and you will maintain a good dopamine level. And what I also suggest is in the evening to find a nighttime routine that allows the body to wind, wind down and minimise your exposure to non-native EMF such as from your computers, your phones and your lights, your LED lights, minimise that exposure, your body will adjust to what it needs to do at night time, which is not to eat food. We're not designed to eat food at night, the only reason we eat food at night is we fool our body to think it is the middle of the day by having blue lights on full bore in the evening and constant flashes from the screens and all that sort of stuff. It's stimulus to our body and our bodies thinking, ah, it's the middle of the day let's get the other scales active. Let's find food that's forage for food, let's eat food. But no, we don't. We're not designed to do that at nightfall. And so if you allow night to fall in your household, you will find that your body unwinds, you'll find that you feel relaxed, you'll find that you're not hungry because we aren't designed to eat food after dusk. So do these sorts of activities in terms of unwinding, reducing your light exposure, finding ways to stay fulfilled in the evening by doing high-value activities. If it works for you step outside, get some steps, reflect unwind with your partner, or you could do it by yourself in solitude. But just find ways in which you can reduce that cortisol have exposure to natural lighting, and so that your photoreceptors in your retina actually see less light, less blue light in particular. And then they start sending signals to the body to the pineal gland to start producing melatonin to then start putting the cells to sleep. So I really want you to do these sorts of hacks and during the day, in order to maintain your fast during the day, spend as much time as you can outdoors because you'll gather energy from other sources other than needing it from food. So you'll be energised from natural sunlight. And you'll get energised from having your bare feet on the ground. So walk in the park barefoot, when you've got breaks between meetings or go for a walk with your colleague and let them know that you that what you're doing and get them on the program and enlighten their well-being by sharing with them what you're learning on the me&my health up podcast and do it together, do it with work colleagues, let's let's revolutionise the way in which the world does health and the way in which the world can proactively do health. And it results in this ripple effect of you sharing the information and knowledge that you're learning from this podcast. So I really appreciate your ears and you dialing into each episode, I really love your listening and inspires me to learn more content, so I can share it with you. Please share it with others that could benefit. And please join the me&my health up club via the Patreon link. So if you go into the show notes, go down to support the show in the show notes. It will link you to my Patreon page and you can join the group coaching so I'm running group coaching now in order to help people to do health well, during this I guess cost of living crisis or these rising costs of living that people are looking to cut expenditure in certain areas.
