Fasting vs Exercise: Which One Activates Your Body’s Cellular Cleanup Crew?
Description

Your body has a built-in janitorial crew—an internal system that clears out damaged cells, broken proteins, and toxic waste. It’s called autophagy, and it plays a key role in preventing disease, improving brain function, and extending your healthspan.
But here’s the problem: Most people never give this crew the signal to clock in.
In this episode of Healthspan Digest, host Aaron Shaw breaks down:
- What autophagy is (and why it matters for your energy, immunity, and longevity)
- How fasting and exercise both trigger this powerful process
- The key differences between the two—and which is more effective
- How to combine them for maximum benefit (without burning out)
- A simple once-a-week protocol to kickstart your cellular cleanup crew
- How to eat after to upgrade your recovery and resilience
🎯 The takeaway? You don’t need extreme fasts or brutal workouts. You need to signal your body the right way—and let the internal crew get to work.
