Welcome to On Call Medicine, the podcast where we break down medical issues that matter most to you and your community. From common health concerns to rare diseases, we dive into the facts, share real stories, and provide practical tips for navigating your health journey. Whether you’re a medical professional, caregiver, or just curious about staying informed, there’s something here for everyone.

In this eye-opening clip from our in-depth exploration of fasting and starvation, we delve into the critical transition that occurs between the three to seven-day mark. Discover how your body adapts through strategic energy shifts, prioritizing functions like autophagy for short-term benefits. However, as fasting continues, your metabolism slows, and muscle breakdown begins—a dangerous phase. Join us as we uncover the science behind these processes and what they mean for your health. Don't forget to watch the full video for a deeper understanding of fasting! #fasting #health #autophagy #nutrition #metabolism #wellness #intermittentfasting #doctor
