how amazing
we have monthly and I'm going to Muncie all help me with the full name instead of you are welcome to the show. Thank you so much for this invitation and
and well what do you think about fasting well we're going to talk about it because there's a lot of people that I'm sure they don't know about it and that's why you are here okay have you try it I'm actually right now around 15 hours
so I think that we can start hold on hold on hold on so you're originally from
Mexico City originally from but now she lives in I have been living five years in Madrid
and
you made a huge impact and not only my my my life but my wife's life and that's huge because it was the connection of you in my wife my wife meeting you I think three years ago now
22 years ago
no it's more than two years because whatever so it's the two years ago and my wife immediately joined on with you listen to you in pretty much did everything you told her to do and she looks amazing that the transformation from when she started I'm saying it's more than two years but from to two plus years ago and then she convinced me
cuz I was that kind of person like missing me are you crazy got to be out of your mind and when she came to me and she goes I'm going to do a 3-day fast and I go no way are you are you freaking crazy you're going to go three days without eating is that possible yeah and then I started asking crazy like questions like
okay so what are you going to eat
but okay so now months he's in Playa and thank you very much for coming and coming on the show and she's been working with me and the wife and she did a presentation at the gym she did a presentation at Yoga Loft and we're going to talk about more how she's going to get involved soon so you're here
and my wife took you to a special place that special place please don't tell us how do you think of that place
it is amazing in it right now yes it's really nice map yeah and then we have so we dragged you to a few places to eat we took you to Sonora Grill cuz that's one of my favorite places to go and then we took you well we talkin to some other girl she didn't eat because she only eats one time a day and she already eaten the day that she went with us so she tagged along with us but I didn't have hungry she wasn't hungry. How long you been doing this
I think maybe 59 years ago I started this practice until now so amazing yeah but I mean I'm not the only person you know so maybe five years ago talking about fasting was really like at I don't know no one knows about this topic but now it's yeah it's a super super super popular I've I've embraced it as well matter fact I just finished I was in a 3-day fast and I had to break out of the fast because I was super hungry and I wasn't feeling well I think I took it a little too far broke some of the rules when you fast I was still going out to the gym and I was still coming to work and working really hard
stuff that I went and got making coffee and I was drinking coffee so I was doing Breaking All the Rules so unfortunately I broke out of the fast but I'm still the most important thing that you have to know is this that fasting is a practice ok
thought you will improve with time
do you think you have improved solutely because I didn't start with 3-day fast if you start with one meal just removing one of them all to go to breakfast lunch or dinner so when I originally started fasting I wrote I remove dinner I was eating cuz I I was brought up as a breakfast person and I always woke up and had this big breakfast you know it was like the thing is they always taught you all eat a big breath yes and then eventually I learned to remove remove breakfast and now I eat a big meal for lunch and then a very little little meal for dinner
but if that's that was our Transit transgression my wife was already doing three days and she was doing 3 days like every 3 or 4 months she was doing a three days but
and she graduated through the same procedure she didn't jump right into a 3-day she was doing the 16/8 they call it 16 a they call it 24-10 about the I'll work right right you talking about hours so yeah that's what I did that was my my way and then you start learning about what you should eat and what you shouldn't eat and that's
well remember that there's a difference between intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting it's not the same so you can start with intermittent fasting fasting maybe 1620 24 but after 25 24 hours of fasting you are doing prolonged fasting okay friends okay how did you start on this
well ten years ago Morales I cared about ketogenic diet so I travel to San Diego and UCLA and because in United States they are low carb convention Congress the IDI trouble like twice to Samuel 22 3 times to this Congress based Congress talking about ketogenic diets low-carb diets I remember that that we were maybe twenty twenty persons no more no more because nobody in that time nobody is at work talking about these kind of diet and and one day I heard about fasting
I try I try a ketogenic diet may be 2 years in a row I didn't felt well I guess I really have no more money shoes hormonal issues and I don't know why I break I break this can of diet because for me I don't feel like it or nothing right now. Time and I continue with this kind of pattern eating Potter and until now I need to ask amazing and I will I read a lot about fasting and I was searching all the time and two people who can teach me about about fasting and then I
I want some European philosophy about fasting very very related with a natural natural natural Padilla what's that what's the chronological thing
Acadian present security about the point of view here in America and the point of view about fasting in here up it's very very different buried between not eating out here in America they talk about by your hockey and gadgets and things like that to improve your fasting but in the other part of the world they talk more about nature about evolutionary medicine and these kind of things more related with its physiological nature of human beings
that sounds for me well I am at this point of you that's why it seemed that I can
tour of this and this too great and information security what was the how was the way that end it's you are the keto first at first and then I mean you were you were looking to to save some father how do you say where you were you lose weight or are you overweight and you wanted to lose weight
the truth is that I have never suffer obesity or nothing but since I was a child I I have been always in the sports world and I started practice gymnastics since I was five years old all my life I have been surrounded by This World Resorts World and then I then I travel to Canada to Montreal and Ice to the United National Circle Scully Montreal and
yeah I have many friends working now in Cirque du Soleil so lit right yeah I was super jealous cuz you know one of my goals is be able to do what you just did and what you're yellows do you like the post you are jealous do you like the post
the truth if you want the truth but I don't like the same golf oh don't forget to like something's looking at you know what I ain't yet. That's what it's it looks so natural and easy but I know how hard it is been one of my goals so when I got down the fasting World it it it took me down to calisthenics world and in the calisthenics world now I have some very specific goals and you see my eyebrow Javi up on my rooftop and destroyed him one day and don't want to parallettes but I can't do it
what you did I'm not as good as my friend and because I have come to arsonist friends and poppies and prophesies than any kind of acrobats said you can imagine I'm not at home but you still look freaking good when you did that and see if you compare yourself to the Cirque du Soleil people that well prove myself improve my training's improve my body just two can wolf better and now just to bring another thing to be put in a different way you have this institute Ola you know right you work with this brand is it around this is your business right now you know it's the the first Institute
and how does the season start
I thought that I was able to share what I know what I have been learning with the people and I really believe that people can improve their health with very very easy strategies to the doctor every month or every time you get up flu for example and there's an ancestral medicine in every country in every killed her that we can we need to do to get back exactly the local way of fixing yourself okay yes instead of going just to the doctor in him slim and some medicine can you take some medicine and and
play the the core of your body is is your digestive system it's the majority of your your body and what you put in your body is what you either
floors from or destroy your immune system and also your microbial town everything if you if you have your in your digestive system clean and functioning correctly you can improve your help
so that's why I started to share this knowledge with online courses workshops and everything and then I have to make a brand or something more related to the health world and then that's it that's not really interesting it so how long you been in this is something going on in married or I have like two or three teachers
they are therapists that having guiding fasting maybe for 30 years or more because he Spain and also he know I think in Germany also they have a bi-week tradition in Therapeutics fast things so they have kleenex they have hospitals only for fasting because I can't remember what
king of chemotherapy they're finding that instead of doing chemotherapy if you fast it could get rid of your cancer if you fast you can get rid of many of the diseases that were using a modern medicine and what's happening is to fold his number when you're taking medicine which is destroying your your your stomach and the everything in the path and not really fixing a solution we're fasting it's doing the opposite it's giving your stomach a break and your body one of the things I I'm really excited about fasting is it when your fasting and you do a prolonged fast
more than the day
after that day and in my case it took me about a day and a half I start creating ketones and ketones do photography I can never say that word right out of 34 G which is actually repairing your brain cells repairing cells in your body and it's supposed to make you by not eating by not eating it your body what happens when your body starts using ketones it's a better fuel for your body than glucose does your body if you know to move you know function your body uses two types of fuel user uses glucose which is in the food to eat or when you don't eat your body creates a more efficient fuel called ketones and when you start bleeding burning when you start using ketones your ketones automatically start repairing your system and you know a lot of faith in all I do and do
muncy's probably like so that's what that's what I was fascinated by I'm getting older and then the and I want to fix all these things and and that's that's what was that's what really got me into fasting when I started learning the top top 40 and fixing your Meadow chondria those are the things that excite me about it I want to listen to this podcast later how we making out of this thing today and you were saying that you haven't eaten for 15 hours so you're right there in that path of intermittent yeah it is fun to be to be really really honest is something that I do for a long time but I did not know about this concept is just because my time or even my hungry moment don't stop. Don't arrive at morning or I just keep on
and suddenly I don't I'm not that kind of person that have issues without eating like get mathur or start start being ancient and she was Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry I know. Kind of person so now that I'm spending more time with you and realizing that I'm already in that kind of that's great cuz I was the kind of person who used to get angry if I was younger hang of metabolic flexibility you can stay without ft many hours and you don't get hungry that's a good sign because you are metabolic flexible as far from that I was like it up for morning make a coffee start slamming some eggs together make some pancakes
I am with with plenty of bacon and all you I was I was right down the wrong path for where I was heading it again it's everybody's choice you know I don't I don't try to push it on anybody when people ask me how I look good now cuz I do look good I'm I'm I'm in a part of my life where I actually I'm not the kind of guy that stole my shirt off and I mean I still won't do that but I do look good I'm happy with myself then once he looks great as well my wife looks great thanks to monse and how do you still have your gear and active guy and and your hands go I go and come back I mean I like to to be on on the 5th but I don't I'm not that kind of person that really gets into that I'm going to do this and I'm going too fast and things like that I just suddenly like today right I just realized that
