Autophagy Fasting Window
Extended fasts marketed for cellular cleanup—autophagy runs at baseline, and long fasts often hurt training fueling more than they help.
An autophagy fasting window refers to extended fasting intervals marketed to trigger cellular cleanup pathways. Autophagy occurs constantly at baseline; extreme fasts are not required for health and can undercut training, protein intake, and sleep recovery.
Shorter time-restricted windows achieve most practical benefits with less risk.
