Frequently Asked Questions

Should I train while in a fasted state for autophagy?

Yes, training in a fasted state can amplify the autophagy process by further depleting glycogen stores and signaling cellular repair mechanisms.

Why is recovery restraint important for autophagy?

Excessive high-intensity training can trigger mTOR pathways, which inhibit autophagy. Restraint ensures you maintain the cellular cleanup benefits without overstressing the system.
