George, are you a follower of Wim Hof? He is onto something as has been shown empirically.
I'm too comfortable (whimpy) to do the cold treatment.

Wow, George... good for you if you can stand that. It makes sense.
Glad you found it useful. I'm too timid but it's good to know.
Thanks for sharing and congrats on your successes!

The latest studies I am familiar with suggest that cold alone does not affect mitochondrial biogenesis. Rather exercise seems to be the main factor. Also, there is evidence that mitochondrial efficiency and not expression is actually more important in countering the effects of aging. And there is evidence that efficiency is improved with caloric restriction.
In my own case I only achieved remission from afib by significantly reducing my food intake along with fairly minor exercise moderation. Not supplements , special diets, or high intensity workouts (I haven't tried cold exposure yet). My body mass index is now low normal. Generally, my health is demonstrably better as well. Of course everyone is different. But I haven't seen much interest in caloric restriction in the afib setting or otherwise.

Your periodic and prolonged fasting coupled with "to failure" exercise seems like a very difficult and dangerous way to achieve caloric reduction. The numbers you quote for your blood sugar are dangerously low population-wise. Fasting is also associated with eating disorders. It seems like there are easier and safer ways than hypothermia and hypoglycemia to improve health and longevity. These conditions could negatively impact afib, whether vagal or adrenergic. I understand you are proud of your robustness, it is quite extraordinary. It will be interesting to see how long you can maintain this regimen, and what the long term consequences are. For safety and adherence, I prefer a gentler approach.

FWIW, i find your experience/experimenting very interesting! It doesn't mean i'll copy everything or anything you do.
Instinctively i feel that going into low keton keto metabolism for a short time (days or a few weeks) is beneficial on many levels.
Your feats need quite some training i suspect.
