Autophagy
Why It Matters
Autophagy is your body’s cellular cleanup process, where damaged cells and proteins are recycled. Low autophagy is linked to faster aging and increased disease risk. Optimizing autophagy can extend lifespan, enhance brain function, and reduce inflammation.
Currently, there are no consumer devices or products available outside of research environments that can directly measure autophagy in the human body. However, individuals interested in supporting or enhancing autophagy can find resources such as books and guides that discuss methods to activate this process through lifestyle interventions like intermittent fasting, exercise, and dietary adjustments.
