In Episode 20 of The Naru FastCast, Dave discusses whether various substances or actions break a fast and impact the benefits of fasting, such as ketosis, gut rest, weight management, and autophagy. It highlights that fasting is not a one-size-fits-all approach and should align with individual goals and preferences. Key points covered include:

• Ketosis: Fasting rapidly induces ketosis, a state known for fat burning and cognitive benefits.
• Resting the Gut: Fasting affects daily rhythms in the gut, impacting the gut microbiome and immune system.
• Weight Management: Fasting encourages the use of existing fat stores for energy and helps manage calorie intake.
• Autophagy: Fasting triggers autophagy, a cellular process that removes damaged components and supports cell function.

The podcast also addresses common questions about substances and their impact on fasting, such as black coffee, tea, medications, bone broth, lemon water, sweeteners, and more. It provides verdicts for each substance based on its potential effect on metabolic health, gut rest, and longevity during fasting.

The conclusion emphasises that the impact of substances on fasting can vary, and individuals should consider their specific fasting goals and consult with healthcare professionals if they have concerns or medical conditions.
