Topics Mentioned:
Dr. Hsu gives us the backstory and knowledge we need to better understand the sacred mechanism of fasting.
Did you know that around 5-6am is when all the stress hormones surges? This is when the adrenal glands really begin to kick in.
When reasonably applying fasting, there is major rejuvenation going on within the body.
As Dr. Hsu says: “If we were to reduce or take away the source of calories for a period of time, the body is in this crisis moment, so it taps inside and goes to the fats– the central fats– it asks itself: ‘what can I get rid of?’ And when that fasting period passes, when the nutrients come, now the body can form new parts to rejuvenate new cells.”
Fast. Re-eat. Fast. Re-eat. These are the cycles of fasting and the cells way of remaining youthful…longer! I think we all want that ;)
Fun fact: Fasting affects every cell in the body– including brain cells!
After 5 days of prolonged fasting, people experience 4 levels of changes…

My guest this week is Alessia Minkus. Alessia is a multi-award winning entrepreneur that has started and run 9 of her own 7 & 8 figure companies over the last 20 years generating a total of $500M in revenue.
During the past 10 years she has traveled the world speaking on global stages and organizing thousands of events for her own global business training company Industry Rockstar. Her leadership and scaling systems have impacted over 3 Million business owners online and offline and she has personally mentored thousands of entrepreneurs privately setting them up with a 7 & 8 figure strategy.
As a speaker she is often invited to present at private and corporate events on the topics of leadership, revenue expansion and business scaling strategies.
During the last few years she has partnered and/or shared the stage with icons like Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Lisa Nichols, Randy Zuckerberg, Kevin Harrington and more.
Fun Fact: Alessia was born and raised in Italy. And– born into a family of entrepreneurs! How lucky ;)
Well… that is until she turned the other way. There was a period in time where Alessia ironically despised the business life because of the extreme measures that her parents took when it came to running their business.
Now, I am sure she is not alone in this. Think back to a time when you were privileged to be around something so impactful, yet it was so extreme, that you ran the total opposite direction. The beauty in this journey is that we GET to change that narrative. And my friend, Alessia, has done just that.
Now, her transformation was not done overnight. There was a season of her life that she knew she had to make a change.
She dared to ask: What am I doing wrong?
And, can I just say, Alessia and I are a match made in heaven! I know you will love her as much as I do… Join us in the conversation to hear all about Alessia Minkus.
