This process is called cellular autophagy and is something that my guest today, James Clement, is very familiar with. After launching a study around supercentenarians, or people that live over the age of 110, James realized the direct link between cellular autophagy, increased metabolism and an undeniable increase in longevity. James decided to put this discovery into his new book, The Switch , to help both doctors and patients understand how to harness the incredible evolutionary self-preservation mechanism. Cellular autophagy is like hitting the reset button for your body and can optimize your biological function, minimize disease and help you achieve a lifespan you never thought possible. Through a simple diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes, you can turn your autophagy switch on and reap the amazing benefits that your body already possesses.
