Dr. Pradip Jamnadas explains that Type 2 Diabetes and accelerated aging are primarily driven by suppressed Autophagy (cellular cleaning) and Insulin Resistance, both caused by chronic high insulin levels from constant eating.

One potential solution is a 24-hour Olive Oil Fast designed as a metabolic reset. Fasting without olive oil is also effective but adding high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) improves it and acts as a “medicinal compound.” Its Oleic Acid provides clean, steady energy that doesn’t spike insulin, while its Polyphenols directly stimulate autophagy, “tricking” the body into cellular repair mode while providing fuel.

The protocol involves fasting for 24 hours (e.g., 7 PM to 7 PM), consuming only water/electrolytes and $\text{3-5}$ tablespoons of high-quality EVOO when hunger arises. The quality is crucial: look for Extra Virgin Olive Oil in dark bottles with a peppery, slightly bitter taste, which signals high polyphenol content. Drink plenty of water and you could add a little sea salt or himalayan salt. This will help balance your electrolytes.

Doing this once a month can be a major way to improve your health.

Caution: This fast is not suitable for pregnant women or breast feeding or individuals with gallbladder issues. If you are on blood pressure medication or have type 2 diabetes questions  consult your doctor if you take medications, especially for diabetes or high blood pressure, as fasting may require a dosage adjustment. While a powerful “reboot,” lasting health requires consistent lifestyle changes., this
