Tard version... Autophagy is your body doing garbage collection. In modern life we eat too much, too often and now our bodies don’t have nearly as much chance to do garbage collection. This is bad because autophagy has been shown to reduce incidence of cancer.

There are things you can do to boost autophagy. The three I have heard about most are:

- Avoid carbs and especially sugar.

- Fast regularly. Daily intermittent fasting and also regular longer fasts.

- Sauna (check Rhonda Patrick’s content for great details here)
