How to Maximize Autophagy

How to Maximize Autophagy and When Does Autophagy Begin?

Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, MD, Ph.D notes that macroautophagy starts within 30 minutes to an hour of starvation. When do we starve? In the intermittent fasting of 8-16. The macroautophagy starts within 8 hours if there are no snacks. The chaperon mediated autophagy occurs during the 16 hours. If you keep the 16 hours window including the sleep then the neurons are able to perform autophagy as well.
