3 Foods That Increase Autophagy Without ...

DR. MINDY PELZ
About this episode

Dr. Mindy dives into autophagy, that amazing natural way our cells clean house. While fasting is a top way to kickstart it, this episode shares three delicious foods that can actually give autophagy a boost even when you're not fasting: pineapple (thanks to bromelain), turmeric (with its powerful curcumin), and green tea (packed with EGCG). These goodies can help with things like keeping your arteries clear, making your skin glow, and maybe even fighting off certain cancers. Embrace the magic of autophagy with 3 game-changing foods!
