What Fasting Really Does to Your Heart (Doctors Don’t Explain This)

What Happens to Your Heart When You Do Intermittent Fasting? (The Truth Doctors Don't Tell You)

Your heart has been lying to you. Or rather, you've been lied to about what your heart actually needs. In this video, I reveal the shocking transformation that happens inside your chest when you stop eating—and why failing hearts literally crave the one thing intermittent fasting provides.

🔬 What You'll Discover:
✅ Why your heart runs on fat, NOT sugar (even when you're eating carbs)
✅ The "master switch" (BDH1) that activates after 12-16 hours of fasting
✅ Why elite athletes' hearts show LESS damage when they produce ketones
✅ The 2024 study controversy—what the headlines didn't tell you
✅ Warning signs your heart is in trouble during fasting (MUST KNOW)
✅ How Mediterranean populations naturally fast 12-14 hours and live longest

⚠️ MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This is educational content, not medical advice. If you have heart conditions, diabetes, take medications, or have any health concerns, consult your doctor before trying intermittent fasting. Fasting is not suitable for everyone.

🧬 The Science Behind the Magic:
Research shows that when you fast, your heart switches from burning glucose to burning ketones—a cleaner, more efficient fuel that produces 40% less oxidative stress (the "cellular rust" that ages your heart). Studies in Cell Metabolism, Nature Metabolism, and Circulation Research reveal that intermittent fasting can reduce cardiovascular events by up to 23% in large populations.

But here's the kicker: even when you're NOT fasting, your heart derives 70-90% of its energy from fat. Your heart is already a fat-burning machine—you just never knew it.
