Autophagy is definitely one of the most talked-about benefits of extended fasting! You're right that research suggests autophagy - the cellular "cleanup" process where cells break down and recycle damaged components - can be significantly upregulated during prolonged fasting periods.

The timing varies between individuals, but many studies suggest autophagy markers do increase substantially after the first few days of fasting and continue ramping up over longer periods. Some research points to peaks around the timeframes you're experiencing.

During autophagy, cells essentially become more efficient at clearing out damaged proteins, organelles, and other cellular debris. This process is thought to potentially help with:

• Cellular repair and renewal
• Inflammation reduction
• Improved insulin sensitivity
• Neuroprotection (which could be particularly relevant given your epilepsy)

Are you noticing any particular sensations that made you think about autophagy specifically? Some people report feeling different - sometimes described as mental clarity, changes in energy patterns, or other subtle shifts - though individual experiences vary widely.

It's interesting that you're tracking this alongside your medical supervision. What does your medical team think about the autophagy aspect of your fasting protocol
