Is fasting really healthy? How do caloric restriction and intermittent fasting affect our brain and body? What are the differences between Ramadan fasting and other types of fasting?

In this video, I explore the science of fasting, its effects on metabolism, its connection to the keto diet, and how prolonged fasting changes the body at a cellular level. Covering all the studies in one episode is unfortunately impossible, so feel free to ask any additional questions in the comments on YouTube or Instagram @synapsispodcast!

Some of the questions I try to answer:
✔️ What happens in the body during fasting?
✔️ Does caloric restriction really extend lifespan?
✔️ What is the relationship between fasting and ketosis?
✔️ How does fasting affect the brain?
✔️ What is the healthiest way to break a fast?
